12 Days of Christmas Gifts
We love the idea of 12 Days of Christmas, but let’s be honest: we need a partridge in a pear tree the way a fish needs a bicycle… and let’s not even start on that eleven pipers piping bit. Are they bringing wine? Do they come with earplugs?
We’ve decided to forgo the eight maids a-milkin’ (weird) in favor of a practical, contemporary take on the 12 Days of Christmas.
We’ve filled this year’s 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide with stunning heirloom gifts to accommodate all budgets, challenging shopping lists, and long to-do lists.
We hope you’ll find plenty of holiday shopping inspiration to keep your spirits bright, and don’t forget to review last year’s 12 Days of Christmas Shopping, which focused on the 12 different loved ones that may have you stumped, such as the student in your life, the newborn baby, and the avid traveler.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Beautiful heirloom gifts made locally.
Few things are as sweet as a lovingly handcrafted gift. Not only does a unique, handmade present make your loved one feel extra special, but you’ll ensure your place on the nice list by supporting artisans in your local community.
Grit & Grace Studio is proud to handcraft all our Lowcountry jewelry and oyster shell gifts. We carry gorgeous items from a number of local makers as well, such as Lowcountry Tabby Candles, Sage Smudge Sticks, Ranky Tanky Albums, and Shark Tooth Earrings.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Gifts you must go to the Grit & Grace Flagship to see.
We’ve transformed our Flagship store into a winter wonderland filled with exclusive gifts. Come design your own Decoupage Oyster Ornament, select a customized inscription for Oyster Blessing Beads, and shop our in-store exclusive products. We’ve got cozy blankets, hilarious mugs, heartwarming cards, gifts for him, newborn presents, and so much more.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Customized gifts from the sea.
A personalized gift is always sure to sleigh! Let us customize an Oyster Ring Dish, a set of Oyster Place Cards, some Gilded Oyster Napkin Rings, an Oyster Christmas Ornament, or a strand of our Oyster Blessing Beads.
Our in-house calligraphy team is standing by to add a name, wedding date, inspirational quote, or inside joke to any of our handcrafted oyster shell gifts.
Not sure where to start? You may find some inspiration in our recent blog post, 25 Festive Inscriptions for Customized Gifts This Holiday.
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Colorful presents ranging from sapphire to navy.
If that hard-to-shop-for loved one has you worried about a Blue Christmas, don’t fret. We’ve got colorful coastal gifts for everyone on your list.
Grab a pair of Indigo Kiawah Earrings for her, a set of Turquoise Handmade Geode Coasters for him, some Blue Corn Mint Los Poblanos Soap and Sugarboo Fabric Notebooks for stocking stuffers, and an Aqua Renewable Fiber Beach Tote for yourself!
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Secret Santa gifts everyone would love to receive.
Don’t let a limited budget dim your holiday spirit! We’ve got a delightful selection of charming gifts for under $30. Check out our Secret Santa Gift Guide for inspiration! It’s filled with brilliant gift ideas like The World Is Your Oyster Tea Towels, Mini Leather Notebooks, Clam Shell Jewelry Dishes, and more.
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
The favorites our Elf on a Shell did see.
Sandy, Santa’s tiniest helper, has been our resident Scout Elf on a Shell this winter, and we recently intercepted his must-have gift report for Santa.
Sandy’s been ziplining down our Oyster Garlands, stealing sips from our Sugarboo Stoneware Coffee Mugs, napping in our Gilded Oyster Napkin Rings, and getting blitzed with Blitzen and wearing our Leather Wine Charms.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Luxurious, handcrafted candles aplenty.
Christmas 2021 is going to be lit, and we’ve got a gorgeous candle selection to set your loved ones’ hearts afire.
Is your significant other on the road? Grab a Los Poblanos Lavender Travel Candle. Are you shopping for a beach baby? Pick up an Oyster Shell Candle. Do you need a holiday hostess gift? Visit our Flagship store to browse our Hand-dipped Taper Candle collection!
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Stocking stuffer gifts that are both small but mighty.
Are you looking for small gifts with a big impact? Stock up on our tree-mendous stocking stuffers.
Give your loved one a lavish surprise by gifting a pair of our Angel Oak Earrings or Moon & Star Earrings with a Moxie Sea Glass Necklace. Add a Gilded Oyster Ring Dish to complement the jewelry for the ultimate gift-giving experience.
If you’re shopping for a crowd, be sure to add a Mantra Bracelet, some Los Poblanos Lavender Lip Salve, and an Inspirational Canvas Zip Bag to your cart.
We also have a beautiful selection of in-store exclusive stocking stuffers at our 125 King Street location, including adorable lumps of coal for the naughty people on your list.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Table decor Martha Stewart would envy.
What better way to give your guests a warm welcome than a place with their name on it? Our Customized Gilded Oyster Shell Place Cards and Napkin Rings elevate any table setting, and your guests can keep their place cards as elegant party favors after the festivities end.
Complete your holiday tablescape with a Gilded Oyster Garland, candles, and a Decoupage Oyster Wine Charm.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Self-care items to keep our moods merry.
Let’s be real: nothing compares to a silent night during the holidays.
After hanging the stockings by the fireplace with care and getting those relatives out of your hair, honey, you’re overdue for some much-needed self-care.
Draw a bath, light an Artisan Smudge Stick and Coastal Candle, put on the Good Times album, and grab your favorite Los Poblanos Lavender skincare products. It’s the gift of “you” time.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
Gifts to making New Year Eve hosting oh-so-easy.
Ring in the New Year with comfort and joy! Dress up your champagne with a set of Cheers Wine Charms before you put it on ice, and display a set of our Funny Leather Wine Glass Charms to keep your beverages sorted and start the evening with a smile.
Slip into our Flagship store to pick up some decorative sparklers, try on a party dress, and grab a few Flying Wish Paper Kits to add some glitter and whimsy to your NYE plans.
This holiday season, we are here for all of your gift-giving needs, from assisting you with gift basket curation to adding handwritten greetings to wrapping your presents.
We’re also excited to continue our journey with you in the new year. Explore starting a gratitude practice, learn about setting your intentions, and connect with a Grit & Grace Studio team member about organizing a Mala Mantra Workshop for you and your tribe in 2022. This transformative, inspirational experience celebrates the bonds of sisterhood while feeding your creativity and focusing your intentions, and it would be our pleasure to tailor the workshop to you and yours.
One Love & Blessings,
