GFTD in Full Bloom: The Top 8 GFTs To Get You in The Spring of Things

 Flowers are sprouting, warm breezes are blowing, and summer nights are just a few months away—spring is finally here! So, it’s time to celebrate. And while for some that might mean the annual ‘spring cleaning’, purging your house of old clothes and dusting off those shelves, spring shopping might be the more enjoyable bandwagon to jump on. We are. It’s time to GFT and get GFTD this spring, and we have the perfect mix of color and pep to get you inspired! 

1. Local Ice Cream 

 One thing we know is certain—spring season means spring snacks! Now that we start our journey into the warmer months, ice cream is the refreshing treat you need to keep yourself going on a hot day. Choose from one of your favorite local ice cream parlors and give yourself that well-deserved break. 

2. Outdoor Lights 

 As the warm weather quickly approaches, it’s important to make our outside look just as good as our inside. How to do that? Light it up! Adding some soft twinkly lights to your back deck or patio can help spruce up your backyard into a warm, whimsical fairytale that you’ll never want to leave. 

3. Spring Wreath 

 Choose from real to fake and pine to flowers—these wreaths send the message that not only are you ready for spring, but so is your home. Customize patterns, mix and match colors, and go wild to bring a little “pop” to your front door. 

4. Flowers 

 Whether in a pot, a bouquet, or a set to be planted, nothing quite says spring like the welcoming smell of fresh flowers. With their bright and cheery colors, this is a great way to help a friend kick-start their spring garden! 

5. Smoothies 

 There’s something so uniquely satisfying about the taste of fresh fruit. Give your friend the gift of spring sweets by GFTing them a smoothie at their favorite local café or smoothie bar! And while you’re at it, maybe get one for yourself too. 

6. Bird Feeder 

Killing two birds with one stone (poor would choice?)! You get to watch your backyard come to life, and your birds get a treat, too. It’s a win win! With all the different designs available, you get to find the right one that speaks to you, or even make your own. 

7. Butterfly Kit 

 If you’re looking for something a little more interactive this spring, this one’s for you. This butterfly kit comes with up to six caterpillars that you get to watch turn into butterflies before your own eyes! With the butterfly habitat and instructions included, you get to experience the magic of the process and release them outside when they’re ready to fly. It doesn’t get much cooler than this! 

8. Handmade Sunlight Catcher 

These adorable, fused glass flowers easily attract light as well as all the eyes in the room! Found on Etsy, there’s nothing better than adding some homemade color to your walls. Whether you pick one or all of them, these pieces are sure to have your guests talking.
