10 Uniquely Awesome Gifts for Uniquely Awesome People
We are all about helping brands find what makes them uniquely THEM, it’s what we do! With Christmas around the corner, our team has been thinking about how to use this idea in our gift-giving.
Just like with the brands we work with, we want to find what makes our loved ones special and give them something reflective of that.
Our crew sat down and brainstormed unique items and experiences that would change the gifting game, and many are local to the Atlanta area.
Think of the people on your list.
What do they come alive talking about?
Where seems to be the areas that they brag on themselves for doing well?
How do you see them give meaningful gifts to other people?
With those answers in mind, here are some of our creative ideas that may surprise your favorite people in your life.
1 - fresh harvest / give Georgia grown goodies.
We love Fresh Harvest because they bring families together around a table of local goodness!
Fresh Harvest is on a mission to connect people to local, farm fresh food. They work with small farms within 70 miles of Atlanta and deliver produce fresh to the consumer’s doorstep. Every step of the process is intentional in reducing emissions, food waste, and supporting the local economy.
They are located in the refugee resettlement city of Clarkston. 45% of the Fresh Harvest team is made up of refugees, and they have seen many go from refugee to American citizen during their time together.
It’s a farm to table experience in your own home.
Fresh Harvest offers gift certificates that can be used to introduce your loved ones to local, fresh eats. Simply pick an amount or browse the basket options to find the right price for your gift recipient and they can get healthy eating delivered right to their door.
One of our team members is coming up on a year of receiving weekly Fresh Harvest baskets and cannot recommend it enough!
2 - Spoak / Give A room makeover.
Know someone who moved recently? Or someone who has been putting off a home project because they feel uninspired and lost?
This is for those homebodies and hosts who are always trying to create the perfect, cozy, inviting space.
Take a personality quiz and Spoak will pair you with a virtual personal decorator that will help bring your personality into your home.
“We want to give everyone a space that feels uniquely theirs, without costing a lot of time, energy, or money.”
Spoak’s mission aligns so closely with ours, no wonder we love them so much!
You can gift Spoak this Christmas by giving an amount to be credited towards a membership.
3 - Goat N Hammer / Give An unforgettable metal-working Class.
Goat n Hammer is a blacksmith located in Atlanta that offers a range of classes for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and the like.
We are big fans of this unique experience for anyone who is up for trying something new!
“Goat n Hammer offers hands-on instruction for blacksmithing, bladesmithing, knife grinding, and associated metalworking skills in Atlanta, GA since 2013.”
Sound totally foreign? No worries. Goat n Hammer has foundational classes for the beginner that are low-cost and low-commitment.
This gift is for those who are always looking for new experiences and love to work with their hands.
4 - barrealley / give a flexible home workout subscription.
barreAlley is a virtual barre studio that you can take anywhere. Started by mother of 3, Kendra, this virtual workout is made for those who need a flexible fitness option that works for any lifestyle.
We are no stranger to struggling to find time for a workout in the midst of kids, work, and pretty much life in general.
Whether you have an hour or just twenty minutes while the kids nap, barrealley is made to be accessible for anyone.
What sets barreAlley apart from other virtual workouts is that the classes are deleted each week and replaced with new ones. It’s just like going to a class at the gym every week - it’s always different! This keeps you on your toes and always excited.
There are 6 programs to choose from based on what you’re looking for ranging from monthly to yearly subscriptions.
5 - crave pie / give the gift of pie.
For the baker or the person who loves trying new things!
Crave Pie is located in Historic Downtown Duluth where they are bringing people together one pie at a time.
Alpharetta location coming soon!!!
Crave Pie is owned by self proclaimed PiEvangelist Briana Carson who, a decade ago, found herself torn between continuing a life the corporate world or diving into the unknown. We are thankful she chose the latter!
Their menu offers savory pies, cream pies, fruit pies, and pretty much any pie you can imagine. Gift a pie to your sweet or salty toothed loved one and make sure to watch their Facebook page for upcoming pie baking classes!
6 - wonderbly / give a kid wonder.
There’s nothing more special than a personalized gift, and Wonderbly take this to the next level. Put your child at the center of the story in a book of your choosing.
“Studies show that when children see themselves in a story, it has a profound effect on their literacy and language development. This helps create confident, enthusiastic readers for life.”
The stories are written for every milestone in a child’s life, ranging from birthdays, to Christmas, to friendship.
Wonderbly has been inspiring the next generation of readers since 2012.
7 - valor coffee / give coffee & swag.
Is there a better way to say “you’re awesome” than free coffee?!
We are big Valor Coffee fans, and it’s likely that you’ll spot at least one person from our team there on any given day.
Located in the heart of Alpharetta, Valor is a hub for community and great coffee.
Valor Coffee is locally roasted with love and a mission to uplift and encourage others through intentional service and friendly faces.
Those who know them love them, and those who don’t will quickly understand why the line stretches all the way out the door on a Saturday afternoon.
This holiday season, Valor is offering two holiday bundles with their newest merch and a $20 gift card.
8 - west bloem / Give A local flower subscription.
Owned by friends Heidi and Kristen, West Bloem’s flower cart started gracing the streets of Roswell earlier this year. The business bloomed (couldn’t resist) out of a shared love for pretty things and great design.
Both Heidi and Kristen have a background in corporate design, which will come as no surprise as soon as you browse their site. We love their unique style - their brand feels so them!
the heart of west bloem is to foster those connections people make when they give or receive flowers.
West Bloem supports local flower growers, uses sustainable products, and does not use any plastics in their process.
They offer monthly or bi-monthly flower subscriptions in three different sizes.
9 - dear survivor / Give beautiful jewelry with a purpose.
Jewelry is usually a fool-proof gift, but even more so with Dear Survivor.
Dear Survivor specializes in unique, beautifully designed earrings made from upcycled leather, piñatex (vegan alternative), or recycled rubber.
A portion of every dollar goes to Generate Hope, a non-profit that helps survivors of human trafficking.
Owner Christine Howell began dreaming up Dear Survivor when, while in college, she lived across the street from a brothel. It took her and her neighbors two and a half years of reporting and rallying against it to finally shut it down. This was where Christine learned and experienced the broken system surrounding human trafficking.
“Dear Survivor is my attempt to right the wrongs I've seen,” she says.
We love the meaning behind their brand and that it’s so much more than beautiful jewelry.
10 - little poppy co. / Give every mom some very happy mail.
This wins the award for cutest gift idea. If you know someone with littles, you can gift them a bow subscription.
Little Poppy Co. was created by sisters-in-law Lindie and Becca after their daughters had lost one too many expensive hair bows. That’s when they realized, you can never have enough bows!
With a love for bow-making and a background in business, they created this monthly bow subscription. When your daughter loses her new bow on the first day wearing it, you don’t have to stress, because there’ll be three more coming next month!
“We are continually trying to figure out what you need and want and deliver it to your front door before you even knew that it was exactly what you wanted.”
Little Poppy Co. is always ahead of the trends. They offer a few different subscriptions so you can gift based on age and duration. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
