Golden State Tote

We love this option because it's a diverse collection of sweet, savory, and spicy options - all created by small businesses across California. We've included almonds (which California is famous for!) and the caramels include apples harvested from a small farm in Central California. The beautiful golden candle is scented to evoke California's golden hour, which we just love: notes of hay, bergamot, and poppy. Golden State Tote

California Sunshine Deluxe Box

We created this box filled with sunny colors to brighten anyone's day and call to mind the beauty of the Golden State. The dried apricots are harvested from orchards in California, the citrus poppy soap is sourced from an artisan soap maker on the central coast (and smells amazing), and the lemon coconut cookie bites are bright and flavorful, not to mention beautifully packaged.

Mt. Shasta Box

This gift offers a fun way to share all the little luxuries we all appreciate at home. We've included locally roasted California coffee, a keepsake mug that shows where their heart is, and a healthy breakfast. Top it off with a stylish kitchen towel to adorn their kitchen, and the best smelling artisan soap for the guest bathroom. Mt. Shasta Box

Catalina Box

The perfect way to show you care and share local love from six small businesses in California - all at the same time! A vial of bath salts combine Epson & Dead Sea salts with rose buds and essential oils for a memorable and luxurious experience. The Lavender scrub bar, crafted by a small artisan on the Central coast will be enjoyed for weeks to come, whereas no one will be able to resist making quick work of the California almonds & addictive apple cider caramels. Top it all off with an adorable blank notepad that will fit in her bag, and a candle that will remind her of summer weekends camping with the family. Catalina Box

This one's not actually a gift basket, but it's such a thoughtful and useful gift for anyone that loves California! It's a 100% cotton tea towel that's also a map of California, filled with the flora, fauna, and local landmarks that make the Golden State so special!

We've included the state bird (California quail), the state flower (California poppy), the state tree (Redwood)...alongside so many other things that make California special. Bears, seals, Joshua trees, palms, citrus, surfboards, pelicans and much more!
