Here at GVLtoday, we’re big planners. We plan our daily newsletter, Instagram posts, and — now that we’re going into the holidays — what we’re gifting to our friends + fam.

So when we first heard about Surcee, GVL’s very own virtual main street of local retailers, everyone in our GVL office got super excited and went into gift planning mode. Surcee provides an easy way for our team to plan + purchase gifts without leaving the home office. Plus, we’re all about supporting local, so it just feels good to buy from GVL retailers through Surcee.

Here are five of our GVLtoday team members’ favorite local gifts from Surcee. Get your bookmarks tab readyyou might just get inspired.

Kyle’s pick: Mixed media wall art trio from Shelley Summer Studios | $135

My niece loves to paint, and has an ever-growing gallery wall of abstract art in her room. This fun Shelley Summer piece will be the perfect addition to her collection, and maybe even inspire some of her own future pieces.”

-Kyle Edwards, GVLtoday City Editor

Anne’s pick: All is Calm serum from Bright Skincare | $80

“This serum is the perfect luxurious gift for my sister-in-law. She has two kids under five, and she’s also obsessed with skincare, so I know she’s going to love having a new serum to try. She deserves it!”

-Anne Hazard, Senior Sales Executive

Bonus: All these gifts (and more) can be ordered from the comfort of your couch via Surcee’s website.

Emily’s pick: Greenville Drive Nike hoodie | $74.99

“I’m buying the Greenville Drive x Nike hoodie for my husband so he can rep his team while staying cozy. If there’s one thing that every sports fan can always use more of, it’s hoodies. I might even buy an extra one for myself.”

-Emily Herron, Director of Account Management

3 brightly colored and patterned clutches

Keaton’s pick: Convertible clutch from Add Libb | $145

“My mother-in-law is obsessed with fun bags, so these cute handmade ones from Add Libb are right up her alley. She loves practical gifts that double as wearable art, so I can see her using this basically all the time.

-Keaton McCall, Senior Account Manager

Grace’s pick: Lumineux x Methodical coffee chocolate bar | $7

“My best friend and I don’t normally do holiday gifts for each other, but Methodical is her favorite GVL coffee shop and I just feel like she has to try this. A fancy chocolate bar is the perfect lowkey gift I might get one for myself, too.”

-Grace Hartley, GVLtoday City Editor
