Founded in 2021, Nostalgia Christmas Shop was created by my daughter and me out of a deep love of Christmas. My happiest family memories as a young girl were centered around trimming the tree, baking and decorating Christmas cookies, opening Christmas gifts, and just being with family. People were joyful, grateful, and caring; anything seemed possible! I wished the world could be like that every day.
I now believe that the spirit of Christmas, which we feel when we spend the season in the comforting circle of family and friends, comes from a realization that we are here for a purpose greater than ourselves. We are here to love others; it’s that simple. “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love” (Hamilton Wright Mabie).
Gifts For Good
Giving a gift is a way of showing love that may be hard to put into words. To me, Christmas gifts recall the gift of love given long ago, the birth of our Savior. That’s why I feel it’s important to offer you opportunities to purchase what we call “Gifts for Good.” These meaningful gifts and decorations are: handmade; hand crafted by artisans in the USA; made of sustainable materials; made fairly by artisans earning a living wage; or part a collection whose sale proceeds help others.
We Care
Nostalgia Christmas Shop cares about the environment by using sustainable, American made products in shipping and packaging whenever possible. The “Grab and Go” gifts that Nostalgia Christmas Shop wraps for you uses tissue paper and shred that is made in the USA, and all gift box packaging is made from 100% recycled materials. We reuse boxes and packaging materials that we have received from others, too.
Each year, Nostalgia Christmas Shop gives back to the Tampa community. This year, we have made in-kind donations to a local Title 1 elementary school through Hyde Park United Methodist Church, and to friends who were impacted by the recent hurricanes in Tampa. Also, a portion of our sale proceeds will be donated to the Florida United Methodist Disaster Recovery Support Fund to help other hurricane victims in Florida.
We are honored that you are including us in your Christmas traditions by spreading the joy of the season through our Christmas-inspired gifts and home decor. Take time to remember!
