I love giving thoughtful gifts. But you know what I have a hard time with? Thinking of those thoughtful gifts.
And also, we don’t want to fill our house or the houses of those we love with extra stuff they don’t want or need. See our suggestions for Experience Gifts for the Whole Family.
Sometimes thoughtful gifts are those that your people will love. And sometimes thoughtful gifts are those that will support your community! And sometimes they are BOTH! And that’s what curated here in this Made in Minnesota Shop Local Gift Guide.
Here are some of our favorite local ideas for your families including kids and adults.
We have purposefully kept this list small so as not to overwhelm you.

Simply Bliss
Gianna’s Thoughts: I found Simply Bliss at my local Farmer’s Market and have fallen in love with the Brown Sugar Latte Body Scrub. If you have a coffee lover in your family, I’m pretty sure they will LOVE this gift.

Bergliot Care Products
Gianna’s Thoughts: I purchased these soaps for the men in my family because it was an easy gift to ship. The scents were great, and it was a very manly gift that I was proud to give.
Minnesota Made Tasty Goodies
Dandy Lion Coffee
Gianna’s Thoughts: Our family has a subscription to this coffee and we get a new bag of beans every 3 weeks. It’s our favorite coffee in the Twin Cities. And Charlie is super easy to work with. We have also gifted this coffee to family members, and it was a huge hit. Our favorite is Mexicana.

Gianna’s Thoughts: I am in love with North Mallow’s marshmallows. I love the slightly chewy outside and the melt-in-your-mouth insides. I think my favorite flavor is the vanilla bean.
