Engraved souvenirs for beach and coastal gift shops
Beach shops sell the town. A guest wants the beach they stood on, not a generic wave, and the first thing a coastal buyer checks is whether the sea life is drawn correctly. Coastal is the deepest chapter of our catalog, with 73 designs across tumblers, ornaments and magnets, and this page is about picking from it and what to ask us for.
Start with your town
Many coastal designs carry a real town name on the art. The catalog has Gulf and Atlantic towns, from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach in Alabama to Destin, Clearwater Beach, Panama City Beach and St. Augustine in Florida, Tybee Island in Georgia, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, the Outer Banks in North Carolina and Ocean City in Maryland. Each carries a local touch: a pelican and shore for one, a blue crab for another, a hatchling run, a sailfish. If your town is not on the list, a catalog design takes your town name as a free swap, or we draw your beach as custom artwork for a $35 setup with one revision included. Place names only, though: we never add a brand, a team or a licensed character.

Sea life has to be anatomically right
The coastal buyer we have talked with most closely runs a marine-life education center with a campus store, a pier store and an online store. Her first concern was accuracy. A manatee has a rounded paddle tail, never a dolphin tail. A sea turtle has four flippers and a scute shell. She was frustrated by other vendors' art that got these wrong, so the first package was built as name swaps of catalog turtle designs (W-126 and W-056 among them), plus manatee wraps, and she reviews the proof before anything is engraved. If your shop sells to people who know the animals, send us a sentence about the species you care about.
Badge or full wrap, and which colors
The same buyer asked whether one animal could come as a Classic Badge and as a full wrap on a 20 oz tumbler, and wanted iridescent white on the 32 oz bottles with sage or violet on the tumblers. Both are normal. Classic Badge is $17.50 and Signature Full-Wrap $18.99; a Premium Finish with a prism or rose gold reveal is also $18.99 on a 20 oz. Colors mix and match inside an order.
Which design goes in which store
A coastal buyer with three outlets asked which designs belong in the campus store, which in the pier store and which online. There is no single right split, so we build it with you: the magnet is the lowest price point on the list at $3.50 wholesale, ornaments are $7.50, and the 32 oz bottle is $20.99. We ship to one address, and every box carries a reorder card with a QR code to your store's own reorder page, so each outlet can reorder what sold.
Seasons and shelf dates
Beach shops run on a calendar of their own. The one coastal buyer we have worked with is busiest in spring and summer, and the start of sea turtle nesting season sets her shelf date. Production is 5 to 10 business days after proof approval, so work backward from your first busy weekend. A Florida shop can send its resale certificate to our file, and a PO number goes on the quote.
Ordering terms in brief
Production is 5 to 10 business days after proof approval. Minimums are 4 per design on drinkware and 6 per design on ornaments and magnets, with designs and colors mixed freely.

Buyer FAQ
- Will the sea life be drawn correctly?
- We check every proof against anatomy notes you give us, such as a manatee's rounded paddle tail or a sea turtle's four flippers and scute shell, and you approve the proof before anything is engraved.
- Can I get iridescent white on 32 oz bottles and sage or violet on tumblers?
- Yes. A prism reveal is a Premium Finish at $18.99 on a 20 oz tumbler. Ask for a quote on 32 oz bottles in iridescent white, and tell us your color picks.
- Can one animal come as a badge and as a full wrap?
- Yes. Classic Badge is $17.50 and Signature Full-Wrap is $18.99 on a 20 oz, and the same animal can ship in both. Minimum is 4 per design.
- My town is not in the catalog. What do I do?
- Catalog designs take your town name as a free swap, or we draw your beach as custom artwork for a $35 setup with one revision included. We use place names only and no brands, teams or licensed characters.
- Do you need a resale certificate or a PO?
- Send your state resale certificate for our file and put a PO number on the quote if you use one. A W-9 is available on request.
- When do I need to order for the season?
- Work back from your first busy weekend. Production is 5 to 10 business days after proof approval, plus UPS Ground transit from Prattville, Alabama.
