Island Haus Co. is a coastal stationery and gift company founded in 2017 by artist and designer, Renee Gutzwiller.

A stationery brand that has retailers in over 100 locations up and down the east coast began with a tiny pop-up at the Celadon Sunday Flea in Charleston, SC. Renee’s coastal-inspired hand-painted designs can be found on greetings cards, coffee mugs, tea towels, keychains, and much much more. At Island Haus Co. our goal is to always create products that make you feel like you’re living “on island time”.

dockside

Dockside Engraving is more than its name implies. With items for every occasion and every type of gift-giver — from the unique gift seeker to the weekend warrior to the cooking enthusiast and more — Dockside Engraving offers an unmatched selection of engravable products ready for personalization.

One of the most unique services they provide is the ability to take an original handwriting sample from you and engrave it onto the item of your choosing (a great gift for grandparents). Looking for stainless steel tumblers, they have about twenty colors with many sizes to choose from and they’ll engrave them.

Custom engraving comes at no additional charge, complimentary gift wrapping is offered and shipping is always free.

Land Crafted. Sea Inspired.

Old Whaling Co. is rooted in the coast, from our name to our signature sea-inspired fragrances. Unable to find gentler alternatives to everyday bath and body products for her children, April Budney heeded the advice of a pharmacist and taught herself to make soap in her kitchen. Nine years later, our product line has expanded to include Bath Bombs, Body Butter, and Candles, in addition to our Bar Soap, which features our signature hand-whisked wave.

All products are handmade here in Charleston, SC, and our formulations are designed to leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and clean. Visit our “Gifts” section on our website for carefully curated gift boxes or build your own with our straightforward bundle pricing. More of an in-person shopper? Stop in at one of our three stores in downtown Charleston (King St., Broad St., and the Charleston City Market) or visit our website to find a retailer near you.

OneNation Coffee is a Veteran and First Responder coffee company that roasts small batches of coffee to order. You can trust us to protect and serve. Trust us to have your 6…A.M.!

The company began in South Carolina as a small passion project between lifelong friends with a love for coffee. The passion project grew roots over the years as we ground it out to become the successful company we are today.

We proudly donate a portion of our proceeds from all coffee sold to the OneNation Foundation that helps veterans, first responders, and their families. Each purchase helps uplift American heroes who sacrifice so much to serve and protect the freedoms we love.

Our coffee is for the real men who don’t drink frou-frou coffee! Try our tactical reloads as a stocking stuffer add-on this holiday season!

Katie Finch
Katie Finch is an Alabama native who spent the past nine years living in sunny Jupiter, Florida where she co-owned three Uptown Art (think wine and painting) studios with her sister for seven years. She graduated from Auburn with a degree in Marketing, so her role was all things marketing, cross promotion, advertising, social media, and event planning. After selling the studios, she and her husband relocated to the Charleston area with their two children (David who is 3 1/2 and Selwin Mae who is 1 1/2) in April, and she can honestly say they are loving every day here! They love the Southern hospitality, scrumptious food, and exploring this great city. In her free time Katie enjoy walking, listening to worship music, a (stereotypical) bubble bath, and watching the Bachelor. She also loves a strong cup of coffee, anything with chocolate, and a well-rounded glass of Pinot Noir.
