Local Cleveland Gift Ideas To Use For Your Wedding
So, you’re checking off items on your wedding day to-do list, and you finally arrive at the time to buy gifts. Whether you’re looking for unique gifts for your wedding party, parents, vendors, or even your guests, let it be known that Cleveland has no shortage of incredible sweets, treats, and trinkets to offer your favorite people on your special day. And why not shop local…we have the best stuff! Here are just a handful of local Cleveland gifts that everyone will simply adore.
Candy, Candy, Candy
One thing about Cleveland…we will have our sweet treats! You can never go wrong by visiting your nearby Malley’s store and grabbing chocolate bars, Buckeyes, assorted truffles, and beyond.
Speaking of truffles, if you want something extra fancy, Sweet Bean Candies offers dazzling hand-painted bonbons, as well as chocolate-covered cookies, pretzels, and nuts.
If you’re looking for something sweet with a personal touch, Westlake’s ZuZu Chocolates specializes in personalized chocolate-covered Oreos. Here, you can really let your wedding logo shine.
Finally, for those who may not be into chocolate, Jeff of Jeff’s Candy Shop is your go-to guy for gifting ideas…boasting an array of small hard candies, including lemon drops, citrus sours, peppermints, and more. Don’t forget to grab a jar of the brand’s candied nuts, too.
Coffee Beans Galore
Another thing about this city…we run on local coffee. Give your guests, vendors, or wedding party the gift of some delicious beans, pods, or gift cards. Lekko, Erie Island, Atmos, Vessel Coffee Collaborative, Roasted, Phoenix, Ready Set, and Duck Rabbit are just a handful of wonderful options.
Plus, you can even set up a coffee tab at one of these locations for guests to enjoy a fresh drip or latte. (They’ll especially love this the morning after your big day!)
Regional Ice Cream
A summer wedding calls for ice cream…duh! CLE is known for spots including Mitchell’s, Handel’s, Jeni’s, Honey Hut, and more. Grab a few gift cards or add some scoops to your wedding day celebration. You can definitely cater your fave local flavors with your cake.
Cleveland Condiments
With a city famous for Bertman Ball Park Mustard, of course, you can’t go wrong with gifting this iconic hot dog companion.
Plus, Cleveland Ketchup Co. cooks up many artisanal condiments, including ketchup, of course, mayo, and mustard.
Or, if you can handle the heat, reach for some Fuego Fermentations hot sauce, made right in Old Brooklyn.
Soap & Lotion
In our humble opinion, fancy soap and lotion are always a great gift. And, of course, CLE makes some of the very best.
STEM crafts natural bars, foaming hand soap, lotions, and even bath bombs. Additionally, Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve has myriad offerings beyond soap, such as hair care, lip balms, hand sanitizer, and skincare accessories.
Beer…Duh
This feels like a given…getting your gift recipients a can or two from Market Garden, Great Lakes, Masthead, Collision Bend, Fat Head’s, etc. is always the move.
Trinkets
If you’re looking for even more Cleveland-crafted products, the city is home to several gift shops that carry local artists and crafters. Check out Salty Not Sweet, Nature’s Oasis, FunktiniLand, Cool World, CouCou Sentiment, CS Folk, and Something Different.
