Maybe you’re seeing all your online friends posting about shopping local this xmas and you’re wondering where to begin.

I mean, it can be overwhelming.

If you’re looking for suggestions for affordable items that your loved ones will actually use and enjoy — and NOT shove into a junk drawer or set aside to be re-gifted at a later date, you’ve come to the right site.

My friend Erika of the blog I ❤️ Rhody has put together a short list of a few made-in-RI treasures to bestow on your beloved, your besties, or your extended family this go ‘round.

And oh happy day because they are all under $100.

1. For the wine lover: Newport Vineyards Port is dark, sweet, and comforting. It’s the flavor of Christmas in a bottle. Newport Vineyards also has a wide selection if port isn’t your thing.

PS — This Saturday, Nov. 20th there’s a pop-up called Flights, Bites & Boards at NPT Vineyards.

2. For the socially conscious: They will love the Box of Hope, 2021 Holiday Edition from Giving Beyond the Box. It features a curated collection of eco-friendly and Rhode Island-made goodies from businesses owned by people of color and social impact organizations.

3. Jewelry: For the holidays and year-round, Sue Gray Jewelry’s Evergreen pendant is a unique and elegant piece they’ll treasure. Sure to be an heirloom. Available in dozens of other designs, too.
