The Little Things opened its doors in late January of 2023 with a simple idea: celebrate the small joys that make island life so special. What started as a spark in a tiny workshop on St. John has grown into a happy little hub where creativity, community, and Caribbean vibes come together.
We’re all about crafting treasures that make people smile—laser-cut ornaments, engraved tumblers, quirky jewelry, and all sorts of keepsakes inspired by our island home. Each piece is made with care (and usually a lot of laughter in the workshop).
Think of us as your go-to spot for those “just right” touches—the magnet that makes your fridge grin, the necklace that whispers island sunshine, or the tumbler that reminds you of a perfect beach day.
At the end of the day, it’s not about big fancy things. It’s about the little things—those small sparks of joy you carry with you, gift to a friend, or stumble across on vacation and know you have to take home.
So stop in, say hi, and see what we’re up to. We’ll probably be covered in sawdust and paint, but always ready to share a smile (and maybe a sneak peek at our next crazy idea 🌴✨).
At The Little Things, our mission is to celebrate and support the community we call home. Living on an island where shipping is never simple, we wanted to make gift-giving easy, personal, and meaningful again—right here where we live. By creating custom laser-engraved treasures, we help our neighbors find heartfelt gifts without the stress of waiting for something to arrive from far away.
We believe in lifting up our community, keeping business local, and offering unique alternatives to the “seen-it-all” shops. Every piece we create—from snarky keepsakes to touching tokens of love—is made with care, designed to spark joy, and inspired by the spirit of island life.
Whether we’re crafting for our local friends or welcoming visitors with keepsakes they can’t find anywhere else, our goal is the same: to turn little moments into lasting memories.
At The Little Things, we believe in the power of partnerships and community connections. Our products can be found beyond St. John — proudly featured on St. Thomas, St. Croix, Jost Van Dyke, and even Tybee Island. On our home island of St. John, we’ve teamed up with a variety of local businesses to design custom gifts, enhance their customer experience, and strengthen brand recognition. From co-branded keepsakes to exclusive island-inspired designs, we love collaborating with fellow businesses.
