Whether a Key West vacation is in your plans, or you're looking for unique gift ideas to celebrate the holidays in sunshine and sand vs snow, here are a few ideas to consider for stocking stuffers and holiday gifting. (warning: quite a few are from our site!)
Christmas In the Florida Keys is synonymous sunshine, palm trees, and a sprinkle of holiday spirit with a tropical twist. For those who plan to celebrate Christmas on the beach instead of the cold, here are some unique ideas - be it for your husband, siblings, or coworker - see our list of gift ideas and stocking stuffers for 2024.
Beach-Themed Coffee Mugs
Nothing says “good morning” like sipping coffee from a mug celebrating Florida’s sunny vibes. Look for mugs decorated with Florida’s iconic elements—beaches, palm trees, or flamingos wearing Santa hats. Fun sayings like “Christmas in Paradise” or “Merry and Bright in Florida” make these mugs perfect for cozy mornings.
Gift Idea: Fill a Florida-themed mug with coffee grounds from a local roaster, or a tropical-flavored tea, for a little extra holiday warmth.

Cozy Beachy Blankets
Even in Florida, a light blanket can come in handy for breezy evenings or chilly nights. Look for throw blankets that feature coastal colors like turquoise and coral, or designs inspired by beach themes, like starfish, sea turtles, or ocean waves. A Florida-themed blanket is ideal for curling up on the couch with a hot drink, bringing both comfort and style to any space.
Gift Idea: Pair a cozy beach-themed blanket with a candle that captures ocean scents, bringing the beach indoors all season long.
Tropical Throw Pillows
Deck the halls with tropical throw pillows that bring holiday cheer with a twist of paradise. Look for pillows featuring festive messages like “Warm Wishes” or “Sunny Holidays,” or choose designs with fun icons like surfboards, pineapples, and flamingos in holiday attire. These pillows add a playful touch to any living room or outdoor lounging area and are perfect for year-round coastal decor.
Gift Idea: Don't just buy one pillow! Mix & Match!
Water Bottles
For those who are active and always on the go, a Florida-themed insulated water bottle makes a practical and eco-friendly gift. Look for designs featuring colorful beach scenes, sunsets, or maps of Florida. Many come with double-wall insulation, keeping drinks cool during a day at the beach or warm during a winter hike.
Gift Idea: Fill the bottle with drink mixes, like tropical-flavored electrolyte packs or iced tea powders, to make this gift both functional and fun.
Coastal Wall Art
Bring a touch of Florida sunshine into any home with coastal-inspired wall art. Prints featuring beach landscapes, iconic Florida lighthouses, or fun holiday themes like Santa relaxing on a beach lounger capture the beauty and laid-back vibe of a Florida Christmas. These pieces can add warmth to any room and are perfect reminders of sunny days spent by the ocean.
Gift Idea: Choose framed prints or canvas art that can be easily hung or displayed, making it a thoughtful gift for friends or family who want to bring the beach home for the holidays.
