Hometown Proud: Michigan-themed gift ideas
Celebrate the Great Lakes State with our selection of Michigan-themed gifts. From ornaments to handbags, scarves to sweet treats, we have something that anyone would love to give or receive this holiday season.
Ornaments
Home is where the heart is. Our selection of hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind Merry Marie Michigan-themed ornaments will make any Michigan native proud. English Gardens exclusive collection features historic landmarks, including the Mackinac Bridge and Bayfront Front. These heirloom-quality ornaments are great gifts or wonderful additions to your collection. Shop our collection online.
Go Green! Go Blue! Every Spartan and Wolverine will love adding one of our adorable team spirit ornaments to their tree. School spirit ornaments make fantastic gifts for high school grads on their way to school, alumni and of course, fans!
Accessories
We love our new Spartina 449 collection! The “Greetings from The Great Lakes” collection features a quirky vintage inspired map on a variety of items including handbags, totes, wallets, clutches, scarves and even beach towels!
These colorful products highlight the areas surrounding the Great Lakes, including Michigan’s upper and lower peninsula. Each map is a bit different, with different landmarks visible on each one.
These make great gifts!
Jenna Kator handbags are another Michigan-inspired product. Started by Michigan native Jenna Kator in 2008 to provide quality handbags at an affordable price, these vegan leather bags are inspired by the beauty, character and charm of cities around Michigan. Bags like The Silver Lake, Greektown and Commerce speak to the unique features in each area of the state. These bags are available in several styles and colors.
Sweet Treats:
English Gardens offers some home-grown favorites when it comes to delicious treats. Offering everything from chocolate-covered potato chips to trail mix, Sanders is a Michigan staple when it comes to premium chocolate. We carry a great sampling of these tasty treats to satisfy every sweet tooth.
Another Michigan based company that is celebrating the joys of the Mitten state, is Shurms. Their motto is “Bring Home the Taste of Michigan” and we couldn’t agree more. These Michi-Gummies celebrate the flavors that Michigan is known for: Apples, Grapes, Watermelon, Raspberries, Cherries and Strawberries. New this year, these gummies are shaped into the upper and lower peninsulas and embody the tastes of Michigan.
For a complete look at our Michigan Themed gifts, visit your local English Gardens store and ask an associate for details.
