State of Iowa Ornament – Bead and Board (Dubuque, IA)

 

‘Tis the season! I love to shop small and I love to shop local. So this Gift Guide with Shop Iowa is basically combining the best of both worlds! I’ve teamed up with Travel Iowa {again, YAY!} to share some awesome gifts for anyone on your list that come directly from my home state. Supporting shops, artists and craftspeople from the great state of Iowa just makes my heart happy. And isn’t that what the holiday season is all about?! To make things even easier on y’all, the Shop Iowa site is super easy to navigate and you can order from any of 100+ shops right from your couch!

Anyone else get incredibly overwhelmed when shopping online? Same. But lucky for us, you can easily filter who and what you’re looking for by category; like Apparel & Accessories, Babies & Kids, Books, Gift Baskets & more! And to help you out, I built two gift guides – one for her and one for him – that rounds up what I think are some great picks!
