2020 Holiday Gift Guide

Real Estate

 

After seeing my customized gift baskets that I assemble for each client after closing, I am often asked by friends and family for recommendations of where they can buy gifts for someone special who has recently bought a home. I have so many favorites so I decided to put together a short gift guide as a reference for those of you who may still be in search of the perfect gift for a new homeowner this holiday season! 

I like to focus on local, small businesses when putting together my baskets for all of my clients and you will see that reflected in my guide. I am so lucky to live in Charleston, SC however, most of the businesses below can customize these items for any city that you'd like. No matter where you live, I encourage you to shop small this holiday season! 

Click below each photo to browse each website to see all that they have to offer. I hope this guide allows you to check a few last minute items off of your list!
