Home Goods, Decor & Clothing

Atlas – This is one of the best clothing boutiques in St. Pete. Find the perfect fit for a night out, and the beach at this locally-owned EDGE District fashion hot spot. 919 Central Avenue.

nEaT neat neAT – Sometimes you need a one-stop-shop where you can browse and find something different and unqique for everybody, and this store is one of our favorites for unusual gifts, housewares, local and not so local art, personal care, and much more.

Sew Pinellas – Why give a present, when you can teach someone to make their own? For those who enjoy a more experiential gift, sewing lessons from Sew Pinellas are an interactive present that they’ll be able to keep using for life.

Experiences

ECOmersion Kayaking – In the city surrounded by water – and with nearly year-round beautiful weather – one of the must-try experiences is kayaking, and ECOmersion offers several great options.

Estate Cigars – Estate Cigars is one of our favorite new places to open recently, and their incredible array of curated cigars offers something for anyone who enjoys a good stogie or wants to have a night at the bar with the crew.

St. Pete Cornhole – Backyard season is year-round in St. Pete, so for the person (or family) who can’t get enough of spending afternoons outdoors, a set of custom cornhole boards is the gift they’ll use every weekend and will be the object of envy for all who see it.

The Dog Bar – St. Pete is going to the dogs – in a good way. The Dog Bar is our go-to spot to bring our furry friends (and it helps they have drinks and food trucks for the humans), and the gift of play time out on the town for four-legged members of the family will always be adored.

The Pelican – Since debuting last summer, The Pelican has become a local favorite as the beautiful catamaran offers daily sunset cruises and trips to Egmont Key leaving from the St. Pete Pier.

Par Bar – For the sports lover in your life, few things are better than an afternoon or night at Par Bar, with their fantastic 18-hole mini golf course, bar full of craft beer, range of TVs, and rotating food trucks.
