A Lowcountry Gift Guide for the Whole Family

Hilton Head Island is known for our miles of pristine beaches, abundant natural beauty, authentic Lowcountry flavors, and our welcoming, laid back vibe. It’s for these reasons that we’re America’s Favorite Island® and are a destination families return to year after year, generation after generation. This year, the holidays will look very different for many families. Some annual vacations to the Lowcountry have been postponed, and gatherings will need to be much smaller than usual. We know that Hilton Head Island is a part of many families’ annual traditions, so if you love the Lowcountry and wish you were here, we sure do have the gift guide for you.

Read on to learn more about our recommendations for Lowcountry gifts for the whole family from local Hilton Head Island small businesses! All of the shops we’ve linked to offer the ability to order online and/or by telephone, making it easy to #ShopSmall and bring Hilton Head Island home for the holidays.
