Gift Ideas from Florida?

I recently moved to Florida and for Christmas, I'm going to get my parents a basket filled with stuff that is unique to or representative of Florida. I was thinking oranges, pecans, a bottle of wine from a local vinter...Can you think of some other things?





Please note that I live in Northern Florida which is more "southern" than places farther South (ie we have no palm trees)

Gift Ideas from Florida?
In addition to the other ideas mentioned, you might consider music by local musicians (Magda Hiller is my favorite North Florida musician, and her songs often describe life in Florida), as well as things related to Florida's major football rivalry (the University of Florida Gators and the Florida State University Seminoles). Don't underestimate the cultural importance of the UF-FSU rivalry; brides who plan a wedding on the day of the annual game sometimes learn the hard way, as guests may bring portable TVs to the reception party or even decline the invitation!
Reply:Lots of things are native to FL and would make good gifts: pecans and oranges are great ideas. How about shells (crafts or not) sand from a beach near you, photos of the area, a tropical plant like hibiscus etc, antiques, driftwood items, key lime pie, southern food like biscuit mix etc.

Reply:Collect your own shells and attach them to a picture frame with your photo inserted....or take the shells and some sand from whatever beach you like the most...fill a jar about half full and add the shells, then decorate the jar with craft paints. Then include some of the things you mentioned....Good Luck !!!





Merry Christmas !!!
