Locals Only: 15 Geographical Gift Ideas
When it comes to local pride, us here at Brit + Co. are all over the map. Though we’re based in San Francisco and call ourselves Giants fans, we hail from all over North America – Wisconsin, New York, Utah, Texas, Washington, Kansas, and, our neighbor to the great north, Canada!
So, when our friends at Scoutmob asked us to curate a collection of ways to show local pride from the goods in their Shoppe, we were happy to oblige. Here are 15 items to wear, hang on the wall, and give to friends who love to show a little hometown pride.
Neighborwoods Wood Maps
San Francisco and Brooklyn ones, but they’re available for a whole bunch of cities.
2. Resin Charm Necklaces (($12): Are you Texas born and raised? So are three of the ladies here at Brit + Co, including our very own founder.
