City Bird
Detroit Classic Crewneck Sweater
I love the timeless look of these store-exclusive cozy sweaters, which make a perfect gift for the sports or city fan on your list. - Andy
Verloop Knit Hats*
I may have purchased these hats in just about every colorway for my husband. They are more unique and softer than the average beanie. So soft in fact, that he will sometimes fall asleep while wearing them. Needless to say, Verloop hats are a perfect marriage between aesthetics and comfort. 10/10 would recommend. - Anna
Detroit Rose Candles
I love gifting Detroit-made goods. This one is woman owned, all of the scents smell great, and their workshop is right in the heart of Mexicantown/Southwest. - Ashley
Sister Pie Cookbook
I love giving this as a gift to out of town friends and family. It's a fun outing to stop by the bakery, try the goodies with them in person, and then send them home with a touch of Detroit inspiration. - Ashley
Roses Embroidered Journal*
This is such a beautiful journal! Featuring embroidered roses, lined pages, and a ribbon bookmark, it is perfect for the aspiring Louisa May Alcott in your life. - Charlotte
Kept Jewelry (specifically Starburst design)
These Michigan-made brass pieces are so full of personality and charm!! I love the sunburst motif within the Kept line - it's simple yet beautiful to add a little something to your outfit :) - Emilia
Michigan Foods Puzzle
I love this cool puzzle version of our popular Michigan Foods design! So fun and a unique gift. - Emily
Ceramic Local Love Coasters
These make super fun and easy gifts. Create a cute set for a Michigan nature-lover with the Wildflowers & State Symbols of MI coasters, or for the Detroit foodie in your life with the coney, Vernor's, and Faygo styles! - Katie
Skippy Cotton Ornaments
I love gifting ornaments during the holiday season. These are super unique and have really beautiful embroidery, plus they are filled with lavender so they smell really nice! - Kim
Detroit Lions Watercolor T-Shirt
Seems like everyone is a Lions fan right now, so these are a great gift! I love the retro design and the more subtle colors while still supporting your team! - Marissa
Michigan Mittens
I love how cozy these mittens are and how retro they look! - Rooney
Nest
Farm Steady Food Kits
These food kits are so fun! They're a great way to learn a new skill, such as how to make bagels, and are perfect for the family or foodie on your list—or for yourself! - Andy
W&P Ceramic Coated Insulated Bottles*
Practical gifts are great because they can be used over and over and the recipient will remember the gifter as they go through their daily life. I love these bottles because they are insulated and offer the durability of a metal bottle without the metallic taste! Zero-waste and cute to boot. - Anna
Dram Bitters
These are a fun way to uplevel your pantry. I found myself with almost every flavor in 2024. They are fun to add to cocktails, sure - but you can add them to baked goods and seltzer water too for a fun little flavor twist. I like to give them to friends and hear about their creations too. - Ashley
Le Puzz Puzzles*
These 1,000 piece puzzles are designed to be the perfect blend of challenging to complete and beautiful to look at for 100% satisfaction. The boxes even come with fun little cereal box activities! They're so cool, and as a major puzzle freak myself, I can definitely recommend for the puzzler in your life! - Charlotte
Redwood + Co. Candles*
I love all of the scents in this line, they're all neutral and outdoorsy without being too much. My personal favorite is Mission Fig - it's soft and mellow, with a woody cedar hint. - Emilia
Mr. Bird Holiday Bird Houses
These bird houses are a great and unique gift for anyone! So cute and you can be sure they don't already have it! - Emily
Galison Puzzles*
I love Galison puzzles for their quality: uniform pieces with crisp edges that hold up to re-use, so you can do a puzzle again and again. Their bright, colorful artwork and vivid food & garden photography are the perfect gift for your favorite puzzle enthusiast! - Jen
Cavallini Tote Bags
You can find the perfect tote for pretty much anyone among these. My favorites are the Tarot card and Library Books totes, and gifted the house plant one to my sister for her birthday recently too! - Katie
Sip Me, Baby, One More Time Cocktail Book
As a 90's kid, this female musician-inspired cocktail book is filled with nostalgia - perfect for gifting to a friend for a little karaoke and DIY cocktail night! - Kim
Let 'Em Bloom Amaryllis Bulbs*
A great gift for someone who has everything and you're not sure what to buy for them! Everyone loves a low/no maintenance plant that brings some life and color into your home during the cold and gray winter months! - Marissa
