As you know, Florida is near and dear to my heart. I thought it only appropriate to make a list of Florida themed gifts for the holdiays- or it could be for a birthday or anniversary, too! I promise to not show cheesy souvenirs! The gift ideas are organized by category.

Disney Gifts
Loungefly Minibackpacks! These are on trend at the moment, and can be found in every giftshop at the parks, but also here on Amazon. This Snow White one is my current fave!
Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker-we have this one at my house, and it is the gift that keeps on giving! The kids ask for Mickey waffles all the time, and you can also use it to make dessert waffles and cornbread too! It makes 6 waffles at a time!
Here is a more budget friendly option (we had this one first, then got the big one for my birthday this past year!)
Disney Luggage– Who doesn’t want to look at cute Mickey faces on their luggage, especially when traveling to the most magical place on earth?? I have both of these sets at my house, and LOVE how easy it is to run a Clorox wipe over them at the end of our vacation. The hard shell case also keeps things from getting squished inside!
Florida Food Gift Ideas
FreshJax Smoked Spices Gift Pack– know a BBQ Grill Master?? This sampler set of spices made by a family run business in my hometown of Jacksonville would make a great Christmas gift. PLUS they run a campaign to end childhood hunger!
Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea-this Tampa, FL based company not only boasts delicious coffee and tea, but they are the official specialty coffee brand of the most magical place on earth- Disney! Our trips to Disney are not complete without a stop at a kiosk. Not only for the coffee, but the amazing, pillow-y soft donuts they sell as well!
My favorite coffee flavor is Jamaican Me Crazy, and I can’t wait to try their newest flavor, Nana’s Apple Crumb Cake!
Mantee Gourmet Coffee-I haven’t been able to try this one yet, but at least 10% of proceeds go to help save manatees (Florida’s state marine mammal)! Can’t go wrong with that!
Hale Oranges-did you know Florida oranges produce more than 90% of America’s orange juice?? Pretty neat! They sell everything from gift baskets and boxes to monthly subscriptions! This is a unique and healthy option for a gift this holiday season!
Florida Gifts for the Home
Florida Doormat-why not welcome guests into your home with this inexpensive, classic mat?
Florida Cutting Board-be reminded daily how much you love the sunshine state! This maple cutting board from Etsy (supporting small businesses) is sure to be a hit.
SICCUPS-SIC stands for Seriously Ice Cold. This company was started by two Florida guys whose wives taught elementary school together. I love hearing stories like this! Plus it’s an amazing product! Extremely fast shipping and lots of pretty colors and designs to choose from.
Starbucks Been There Florida Mug-I have this mug and it holds a good amount of coffee! Perfect for a mom on the go.
Florida Hand Poured Candles– There is an adorable boutique in St. Augustine called Declaration and Co. that sells hand poured candles, ornaments, necklaces, clothes, stickers and gift boxes! I am the proud owner of many stickers, a Florida ornament, and have sent a few gift boxes to friends as well. This shop is awesome!
Florida Surf Style Gift Ideas
Flomotion– This Florida company was started in 2010 and has wonderful customer service, as well as soft t-shirts and fun hats like this these!
Surfer Dude/Dudette-These fun toys provide quite a bit of entertainment for my kids at the beach. We have an original dude, but check out this girl surfer as well! You simply throw them into the ocean and they return to you on the waves.
Salt Life-4 friends who are avid watermen founded this company in 2003 to celebrate all things ocean related- live the salt life my friends! They have apparel, sunglasses, swimsuits and more.
Sun and Song– this mama is seriously unbelievable! Kim designs the bright, happy, tropical prints in house, then hand makes every.single.bag. Many are waterproof and MACHINE WASHABLE!! Go ahead, do your happy dance. I use this flamingo one for weekends and at the beach- it holds and insane amount. Plus she has adorable swaddle blankets and hats for babies!
IRockerSUP– this would be an awesome family gift! We recently purchased one as our second paddleboard, but it was our first iRocker board and our first foldable board as well. We vacation in Anna Maria Island every year, and wanted one that we could take with us without strapping it to the roof rack! This fit the bill, and is very affordable, and oh yeah, the company was started by a Jacksonville man!
There you have it my friends- my list of Florida based gift ideas! If you need anymore shopping help be sure to check out these teacher gift ideas, and what we take in our Disney park bag.
I hope you have an amazing holiday season with those you love and cherish.
