Some of our favorite gifts that celebrate our home state, made by those who live here too!
Three Potato Four (Media, PA)
Long gone are the $2.99 Hoagiefest days, but you can still squeeze a 10 into these coin purses and grab yourself a Philly staple on your lunch break. And if hoagies aren’t your thing for some reason, Three Potato Four’s vintage coin purses come in a variety of other patterns that we love just as much!

Meadowbrook Lane (West Chester, PA native)
If you’re a fan (or phan) of all things Philly sports, you’ll fall in love with Meadowbrook Lane’s collection of Eagles and Phillies items. And in the meantime, be kind to the Birds and Phils fans in your life, because let’s be honest – we’re still going to keep watching even after all the championship losses. Said? SAID.

KC Essentials (Kennett Square, PA)
Ok, so these aren’t *totally* about Pennsylvania. But the Jersey Shore is basically an extension of Southeast PA during the summer, so it still counts…right?
