On our blog, we’ve previously written about lake-inspired gifts. Whether it’s a last-minute gift, a thoughtful gift basket, or a closing gift, a present that reminds the recipient of the lake is always a good idea. However, most lake-related paraphernalia broadly alludes to the lake lifestyle, such as fish-themed wall decor or a clock with scattered numbers indicating “lake time.” But what if you’re looking for lake-inspired gifts that are specific to your own lake? With products from the following companies, you can showcase pride for your lake region. Pretty and personalized, you can’t go wrong with these custom lake gifts.
Lake Map Mugs
Anybody have a map? Well Told Design does. This company’s specialty is creating distinctive, high-quality products that aim to inspire. One of their collections, Lake Map Mugs, offers a wide assortment of ceramic mugs decorated with maps of specific lakes across the U.S. These intricate designs highlight the topography, shorelines, and roadways of several of the country’s popular lakes. Personally, I have the Lake Champlain mug. I love the detailed drawings and the pop of Cerulean color, and the size is perfect for a generous serving of coffee in the morning. If your lake area is listed, this custom lake gift is a winner.
Wood Carved Lake Maps
Need a new serving tray, clock, or photo journal? Lakehouse Lifestyle, a store full of custom handcrafted lake gifts, can help. Originated by lake dwellers of 30 years, this company’s creators know the value of seeing your own lake area represented in your home. Their 3D lake maps are made from stunning birch wood with laser carved maps of your lake’s topography. To add more personalization, you can include your own lake house or favorite lake spots on the map. Each product is made with high-quality craftsmanship that will last as long as your house itself.
Custom Map Coaster Set
Do you live on a lake near an urban area? If so, showcase your city pride with these custom map coasters from Uncommon Goods. These handcrafted coasters are made of rustic tumbled marble with a cork bottom. The set of four coasters will display an area based on the location of your choice, including streets, lake landscapes, and a star to mark the address you input. Comes with an optional coaster stand.
Framed Lake Maps
If your lake home is in the southeastern U.S., particularly in Alabama, consider buying a custom lake gift from Siebels, a camp and cottage furniture store located in Homewood, Alabama. Available in small or large sizes, their lake maps are meant to showcase pride for your particular lake. They feature detailed outlines of several popular lake areas in the state, such as Smith Lake, Lake Martin, Lake Wilson, Lake Wedowee, and more. The rustic brown, angler aesthetic of these lake maps makes them perfect for any lake home.
With the holidays coming up, these custom lake gifts are also perfect for any lake-loving friends and family!
