Gift for Someone Moving to Florida
Introduction
When someone is heading to Florida, it’s a shiny new chapter of sunny days and adventures unfolding. The word of choice for college students: stressed. A parting token of appreciation can make that step easier (and more fun). Here are a few fun and functional gift suggestions to cater to the Florida lifestyle and make the adjustment into their new home a little easier.
Beach Essentials
Floridians love to visit the beach, so beach gear makes a great gift. Perhaps a plush new beach towel, a chic new beach bag or a chaise lounge cover-up? A good beach umbrella or an insulated cooler can also make their trips to the beach that much better, too, giving shade from the sun and something to drink.
Sun Protection
The sun is shining and sun protection is important. Give the gift of a high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat or some polarized sunglasses. Wearing a UV-protection beach cover-up or rash guard can give you added protection for when you are participating in outdoor activities.
Outdoor Gear
Florida’s scenic landscape and clear blue waters provide a variety of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Think about a set of binoculars for birdwatching, a fishing kit or a snorkel set. A sturdy water bottle or travel hammock can also help their outdoor adventures thrive with opportunities for discovery and rest.
Home and Garden
Assist in developing a comfortable environment with a gift for their new home. Think about some tropical decor items, such as throw pillows or wall art. An indoor potted plant, such as a palm or an orchid, will provide a bit of Florida’s green inside your home. For those who prefer to get their hands dirty, a gardening kit with seeds from local flowers or vegetables can be a fun way to welcome the local flora.
Local Experience Vouchers
Gift an experience to help them get to know their new home. Think about vouchers to visit some local attractions, such as a theme park, botanical garden or koala sanctuary. A boat tour or kayaking adventure can allow them to explore Florida’s distinctive landscapes and wildlife.
Cooking and Dining
Florida’s food is varied and full of flavor. Think of a cookbook of local dishes or a membership to a fresh seafood delivery service. Tropical spices or a citrus juicer can offer a recreation of your new home to inspire them to new culinary adventures.
Tech Gadgets
Useful tech gadgets can make their life in Florida ten times more convenient and fun. Opt for a waterproof portable speaker for some poolside or beach fun. A smart thermostat can also enable them to control their indoor temps with less waste. A digital photo frame can show off treasured memories, helping to make their new place feel more like home.
Fitness and Wellness
Promote a healthy lifestyle through fitness gifts. Anything that will help them keep an eye on their activity and health, like a fitness tracker. For home workouts, think a yoga mat or a set of resistance bands. And a wellness app subscription can also offer relaxation and support their mindfulness as they make the transition.
Creative and Fun Extras
Get some whimsy with these creative gifts. How about a puzzle or game that shows off Florida’s landmarks or wildlife? A custom map that points out local attractions can be both decor and a useful guide. These whimsical gifts can be a source of delight and surprise.
Conclusion
Selecting a fitting gift for someone moving to Florida requires thinking outside the box, and naturally taking into consideration the recipient’s soon-to-be new climate and surroundings. You can help make it a memorable one and even a bit fun by choosing things that brighten up their place and remind them of the vibrancy of Florida. In the form of beach necessities, neighborhood experiences, or cozy pieces for the home, these items can help them get into the (Realtor-approved) groove, ready to relish everything the Sunshine State has to offer with open arms.
