Best Philly-Made Gifts Under $100

Yowie is a design-forward gift shop on East Passyunk that stocks exclusively independent and small-batch makers — many of them local. Hand-poured candles, ceramic planters, unique kitchen tools, art prints, and oddball home accessories that look like they belong in a design magazine. Nothing here feels generic.

This is the store people mean when they say "I found it at this amazing little shop in Philly." Price range is perfect for gifts — most items land between $20 and $80. The staff gift-wrap beautifully too.

Fante's has been selling kitchen tools on 9th Street since 1906 — four generations of the same family. This is where Philly chefs and home cooks go for hand-selected Italian espresso makers, pasta machines, specialty knives, and kitchen gadgets you won't find at Williams-Sonoma. Everything is curated with genuine expertise.

For gifts: the Italian stovetop espresso makers ($35–$60) are a classic. Pair one with a bag of locally roasted coffee from a nearby roaster and you've got a perfect $50 gift.

Art Star is a craft boutique and gallery in Northern Liberties that stocks handmade goods from over 100 independent artists — most of them local. Handmade jewelry, letterpress cards, enamel pins, screen-printed tees, ceramic mugs, and art prints. It's the kind of store where you walk in for one thing and leave with four gifts.

They also host craft workshops (candle-making, jewelry, screen printing) which make excellent experience gifts. Check their calendar — workshops book up fast.

Elixr is one of Philadelphia's top specialty coffee roasters — sourcing single-origin beans and roasting them in small batches in-house. A bag of their fresh-roasted coffee ($16–$22) is the kind of gift that feels personal but works for anyone. Their seasonal blends and limited releases make repeat gifting easy.

For a bigger gift: pair a bag with one of their ceramic pour-over sets or a branded mug ($35–$45 total). They ship nationwide too, so it works for out-of-town recipients.

The ultimate Philly food gift destination. Di Bruno Bros. has been a Philadelphia institution since 1939 — starting as a tiny cheese counter on 9th Street and growing into the city's premier gourmet food shop. Their pre-made gift boxes ($35–$95) are stacked with artisan cheeses, cured meats, olive oils, and crackers — many sourced from local producers.

For a custom gift: build your own box at the counter. A wedge of aged cheese, a jar of local honey, some truffle oil, and a box of crackers runs about $40–$60 and looks like you spent twice that.

A collectively-run shop in Old City where every single item is made by a Philadelphia-based artist or maker. Prints, ceramics, jewelry, candles, bags, zines, apparel — it's a one-stop shop for Philly-made gifts. The roster rotates seasonally, so there's always something new.

This is the answer to "where can I find something actually made in Philly?" Prices are accessible (most items $15–$50) and the quality is high. Perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or housewarming presents.
