I’m back again this year to share some of my picks from the Shop Iowa Holiday Gift Guide! It feels like the year to stay home and shop online! Shopping this gift guide is such an easy way to shop small, shop local, and give back to a state/community you love. Yes, I reside in Kansas, but a huge part of my heart (and my family) lives in Iowa! It will always feel like a little piece of home for me. *This post is sponsored by Travel Iowa. All opinions and shopping picks are my own.*
I grabbed my coffee and scoured over 1,600 items to find some things I think you’ll love. There is truly something for everyone in the Shop Iowa Holiday Gift Guide including gift ideas babies, teachers, grandmothers, neighbors, etc! I’ve rounded up a good mix of items as a place for you to start. Happy shopping! You might just treat yourself too!
