4. Books and Puzzles

Phones and electronics have slowly been replacing the need for physical books, but there's just nothing like flipping each page as you read through a piece of literature.

If you're in the Winter Garden area, support a local bookstore - Writer's Block Bookstore! This store fills its shelves with all of the popular and newly released titles, but it also shines a light on the work of independent authors not always found in mainstream bookstores. In addition to books, the store sells gifts like games and puzzles, so you can shop for the non-readers in your life, too. 

5. Accessories

Clothing can be pretty expensive, but the little additions we use to tie our outfits together aren’t! Small shops such as Good Crowd in College Park have accessories galore, from socks and bags, to sunglasses and necklaces.

Take note of the things your partner wears frequently. Do they like hats? Jewelry? Are they a funky sock person?

The possibilities are endless when it comes to getting someone something you know they’ll use regularly, so get creative and gift them a new piece to make their outfits really stand out.

6. Custom Items

What’s better than being gifted everyday items from kitchenware to clothing? Being gifted custom versions catered to whatever your friend or family member loves!pink shelves with white pottery

Have someone who loves dishware, pottery, or DIY? Paint something (in store or at home) for that special someone at All Fired Up in Winter Park, or create a homemade craft at Pinspiration in Winter Garden.

Overall

There’s no reason every gift-giving occasion has to be an extravagant one. Sometimes, all people really want is to know they’re being thought of and appreciated. Giving little gifts with thought and care behind them can have a big impact on that special someone.
