Michigan Gifts for People Who Moved Away
Some of us carry Michigan with us wherever we end up. Maybe it's a sister in Arizona who still says "up north" like it's a direction on the compass, or a son in Texas who misses the lake more than he lets on. These gifts are made for them. Each one holds a real Michigan place: the dunes near Ludington, the red pier lights at Grand Haven, the turquoise water below Pictured Rocks, or the whole mitten with pins on places from Isle Royale to Detroit. Our ornaments are white gloss aluminum, printed on both sides, with the place name and coordinates on the back, so they remember exactly where home is. Our coaster sets bring the same scenes to the coffee table, four identical coasters to a set. Everything is made to order in the USA. If someone you love left Michigan but never really left it behind, this is a small way to send a piece of home their way this Christmas.
Michigan Map Ornament (plain)
All of Michigan on one ornament: both peninsulas in pine green, with copper pins on real places from Isle Royale to Detroit. The back carries the place name, coordinates and the Mitten Trails mark.
Michigan Map Ornament (personalized)
The same pinned map of both peninsulas, with your family name and a second line. Two boxes to fill in, up to 18 characters each.
Big Sable Point Lighthouse Ornament (plain)
Sunset on the dunes near Ludington: Big Sable Point Light (1867), the white tower with its black middle band, over Lake Michigan. Ready to gift.
Pictured Rocks Ornament (plain)
For anyone who has stood above that turquoise water: Miners Castle, with its one remaining turret, and the mineral-streaked sandstone cliffs of Lake Superior.
Michigan Mitten Map Coaster Set of 4
Four identical coasters, not a mixed set, each with the same map of both peninsulas and its pinned places. A high-gloss MDF top with a cork back that keeps it from sliding.
