Admit it…you haven’t gotten your holiday gifts yet! If you’re worried about not finding the perfect gift, here are some last-minute gift ideas that also go to support local New Jersey Businesses. Here are 5 ideas plus a little extra.

1. Why not take them on a Weekend getaway or Surprise Day Trip! It takes you a little over 2 hours to drive through the entire state of New Jersey…why not take someone on a local vacation? I have plenty of recommendations including beach towns like Asbury Park, Cape May, and Ocean City…or you can go hiking at the Delaware Water Gap, enjoy a day trip to the cute village of Smithville, explore history in Morristown etc. There’s plenty in NJ to do (it’s kind of my motto).

2. Does your person love food? You can take them on a Food Tour! Generally, food, in general, is a great gift idea! Here is a list of New Jersey Food Tour companies to check out! Buying gift certificates/cards is a great way to support local businesses this year.

3. With so many theaters, concert venues, and comedy clubs in NJ, tickets to a show is always a great idea. And these venues need your help now more than ever! Purchasing a gift certificate or donating to a local theater is a great way to support these businesses in 2020.

Get them a Pass to Museum, Pass to Aquarium, or Zoo! There’s so many fun places to go in NJ, and there are major perks to memberships.

5. Give the gift of beverages! There are so many Craft Breweries and Brew Pubs, you can get them a gift certificate, glassware, and beer as gifts.

Same thing for New Jersey Wine, there are so many amazing vineyards in NJ and wine is always a great last-minute gift.

If your person isn’t into alcohol, local coffee works too!

And last but not least, shop local!! Get a Unique gift item from someone in NJ! Be sure to check out local events, support small businesses, and hey, why not get a NJisntBoring gift item!
