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.

Fresh Harvest

Fresh Harvest

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!

West Bloem

West Bloem

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.

9 - dear survivor / Give beautiful jewelry with a purpose.

Dear Survivor

Dear Survivor

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.

Little Poppy Co.

Little Poppy Co.

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!
