Celebrate the spirit of the Steel City this holiday season by embracing the rich tapestry of local businesses that make Pittsburgh unique. Consider gifting a piece of the city's industrial charm with handcrafted metalwork from The Barefoot Forge. From custom-designed rings or gifting a beginner blacksmithing class, these steel gifts capture the essence of Pittsburgh's industrial heritage in every creation.
Pamper your friends and family with locally sourced and crafted skincare and wellness products. Bombash Botanical Skincare Co. is home to a plethora of handmade bath, body, and home products that not only promote relaxation but will also add warmth and cheer to your holiday gift giving. These thoughtful gifts provide a luxurious and aromatic experience that anyone would love!
For the art aficionado on your list, explore the diverse offerings from Pittsburgh Pottery. Maybe you have a "nebby" family member that needs to know that with a black and yellow mug or better yet, you know a "jagoff." If you don't want to offend your gift recipient, you can always stick with a super cute pierogi Christmas ornament. No matter what you decide, these locally made pieces are infused with the city's energy and creativity.
Lastly, for those littles who need next to nothing, consider the gift of experience by purchasing vouchers or memberships from local attractions, theaters, or restaurants. Or get creative and gift a sports holiday camp like the one's offered at Bianco School of Baseball. This not only supports the businesses directly, but also provides your loved ones with memorable moments to cherish. From tickets to a show at a local theater to a culinary adventure at a beloved restaurant, these experiential gifts contribute in more ways than another box under the tree. Embrace the holiday season by shopping local and spreading the joy of Pittsburgh's distinctive charm.
