VERMONT GIFTING CATEGORIES
GIFT LIVING IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE...
SHOP LIKE A LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Ever since I was little, I‘ve always found immense joy in gift giving. Throughout the year, I think of unique and highly personalized gifts that will afford someone special in my life a “surprise-and-delight moment”.
I’ve spent countless hours of my life thinking about how to show someone how special they are to me by the gifts I give them... And in the process, it fill my cup - a selfish activity, really!
As I get older, the priority in my gift giving as shifted away from material things to collective, shared experiences - quality time, if you will. I do, however, always aim to shop local and small - and the many talented Vermont makers make realizing this goal easy.
In this Vermont holiday gift guide, you’ll see a highly curated list, specific to the holiday season in 2024, with many of my personal favorite Vermont brands and products reflected. I also included adventures and activities - whether with a child or partner - that will afford your loved one with perhaps the best gift of all: presence and new life experiences collected, together. Happy gifting and thank YOU for supporting small!
WHY SHOP SMALL IN VERMONT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?
Do your part to help Vermont small businesses thrive... It is the acts of shopping small that put local kids through sports and art classes, help families pay their winter electric and heating bills, and save for shared life experiences and the joy of travel!

GIFTS THAT BARELY COST A PENNY
Gifting to someone you care about doesn’t have to be expensive... In fact, it doesn’t have to cost anything at all. Here are some ideas of (nearly) cost-free gifts to enjoy giving in Vermont.
A CAR WASH & DETAILING
After Vermont’s winter and mud season, roll up your sleeves and gift a thorough car wash and detailing to a loved one!
GET OUTSIDE & HIKE VERMONT
Vermont has so many trails to explore in any season that cost absolutely nothing to enjoy. Plan a hike!
Have plants around the house? Divide them and plant them in leftover mason jars - spray paint them for a creative touch. DIVIDE UP YOUR HOUSEPLANTS
WRITE A MEANINGFUL LETTER OR RECORD A VIDEO
Sometimes the most meaningful gift is you expressing how you truly feel and by saying thank you.
MAKE A JAR OF AFFIRMATIONS, JOKES & POSITIVE VIBES
Everyone needs a pick-me-up every once in awhile. Fill a jar with smiles in the form of kind words and laughs.

VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
Whether for a nonprofit they love or around their house, offer your time however they want to spend it.
HOST A MOVIE NIGHT

TRY GEOCHACHING
It doesn’t cost anything and is a great way to get out in nature and discover a new shared hobby.
MAKE A BOOK OF FAMILY RECIPES
Pass along tried and true, favorite family recipes in a gift that will keep the memories flowing for years to come.
PLAN A ROAD TRIP
With no destination in mind, gather some road trip snacks and hit the road with a curated playlist, stopping anywhere of interest along the way.
PRINT A FAVORITE PHOTO
Capture someone with a huge smile or on a particularly memorable day? Print it out or make a custom frame for it.
BAKE YOUR FAVORITE TREAT
Who wouldn’t want a banana bread or Bundt cake homemade with love and care?
