Christmas is slowly creeping up on us. There is less than three weeks to buy gifts for all our loved ones, so why not support a local business this holiday season? I’ve put together my top gifts for the proud Kentuckian in your life. Details are within the post, as well as where to purchase each item.
Gifts for the Proud Kentuckian
1. My Kentucky Tee subscription: I’ve actually been a customer of theirs since July 2015, and I absolutely love them! I have every single one of their shirts, except maybe two. How it works: It’s a t-shirt subscription box. When you sign up, you get that month’s tee, plus the 1792 introductory tee. It cost $15 per month, and each month you will receive a new Kentucky themed t-shirt. You can sign up and view the past month’s t-shirts here. However, this will be one subscription box that you won’t want to cancel. Make sure that if you sign up for a subscription to let them know that Whitney at Fabulous in Fayette told you about it!
2. Sherpa Kentucky Pullover: You might want to order this ASAP! Sherpa is all the rave again this year, and they just restocked them yesterday (December 5 at 10am), so don’t be surprised if they sell out quickly! This is super comfy and available in 2 colors, Oatmeal and Cream! Update: There are only a handful left in each size!
3. Kentucky Outline Necklace by Meg C. Gallery: How gorgeous is this blue Kentucky outline necklace from Meg C. Jewelry Gallery?!
4. The Kentucky Bucket List Book by Michael Crisp: What better way to start off the new year than by planning on crossing things off your list that you haven’t done or experienced yet? Why not see all the beauty and wonderful things that Kentucky has to offer? Make that your goal in 2019! There’s also a follow-up book called, The Kentucky Bucket List: Part Two and also there is The Best Kentucky Trivia Book Ever.
