Sunshine and Sand Hidden Treasures Siesta Key Gift Shop

Nothing says Southwest Florida more eloquently than local items and souvenirs with a cute beachy theme or humorous saying. That’s what Sunshine & Sand Hidden Treasures is all about. This delightful gift store is packed with original high-quality items that you won’t see anywhere else. The owner, Dawn, is keen to source items that are affordable, tasteful and totally unique. 

Eco-Friendly Gifts and Hidden Treasures

Many of the products at Sunshine & Sand Hidden Treasures were made with the environment in mind, making them useful and mindful gifts to give. You’ll find T-shirts made from recycled plastic bottles and bags designed for re-use to cut down on the mountains of harmful plastic waste piling up in landfills every year. Reef-safe sunscreen by Raw Love protects the sea from harmful chemicals.  

The shop patronises suppliers that choose to care for the environment and give back, adding a feel-good factor to your shopping experience. Many “products with a purpose” can be found in the store and their profits support good causes tackling hunger, breast cancer and women’s empowerment.  

Unique Gifts and More at Sunshine & Sand Hidden Treasures in Siesta Key

Located in Crescent Plaza on Midnight Pass Road on south Siesta Key, Sunshine & Sand Hidden Treasures has an assortment of beach and coastal themed souvenirs and one-of-a-kind must haves that are perfect for giving (or keeping for yourself!). Helpful staff is always on hand if you need suggestions. Prices start from just a few dollars, so it’s easy to pick up everything you like and tuck them away for future gifts. 

Novelty items include socks with cute sayings on them – perfect for the hard-to-buy-for men in your life. They make a nice change from T-shirts, although the shop has those too! You’ll find greetings cards and note pads, practical home items, towels, oven mitts, clothing, jewelry and even novelty gum. Capelli straw hats and visors for the beach are perfect for travelers as they roll up neatly for packing. 

Jewelry lovers will adore the range of bracelets, bangles, earrings and pendants by Lizzie James, all neatly laid out in a flowing display chest. Swarovski crystals provide a touch of bling to contemporary jewelry items and make a much-appreciate gift.
