Florida Gifts for Water Lovers

Find a Florida gift with a connection to the water: framed coastal wildlife, boat art and a Tampa Bay relief map, designed and made in St. Petersburg.

The best starting point is the person. Do they spend weekends on the boat, watch birds along the shoreline, or still think of Tampa Bay as home? Choose the subject around that connection, then check the size and colors against their space. Here are six directions from the OffsetDesignWorks collection.

For someone who calls Tampa Bay home

The Tampa Bay bathymetric map shows the bay from a different perspective. Navy underwater relief sits beside white land and bridges, including the Sunshine Skyway, Gandy, Howard Frankland and Courtney Campbell. Its 12 × 12-inch natural pine frame makes it a compact piece for an office, entryway or wall grouping.

This is a good direction for a housewarming gift or a reminder of a place someone has moved away from. If you want to understand the contours before choosing it, our bathymetric map guide explains the design. The map is decorative artwork and is not intended for navigation.

For the boater or lake-house host

The Boat Wake artwork pairs a raised white boat and wake with textured navy water. The view centers on the movement across the water, so the idea works for someone whose favorite place is a lake as well as the coast. It comes in a 12 × 12-inch natural wood frame.

For a more traditional nautical subject, choose the Anchor artwork. Its white anchor rises above sculpted rope coils on a navy background. Both designs suit someone who already uses wood, white or navy in their room.

For the wildlife enthusiast

The Alligator artwork follows a bone-white alligator through sculpted navy water, with a wake and ripples behind it. The Heron artwork captures a quieter shoreline moment: a white bird in rippled water. Choose the alligator for someone drawn to Florida wildlife, or the heron for a bird lover who prefers a calmer composition.

These are dimensional objects in shadow-box frames. Look at the angled product photographs as well as the straight-on view; the raised subjects and water surfaces are part of what makes them different from a paper print.

For the freediver or spearfisher

The Spearfisher artwork shows a white diver, fins, speargun and bubbles against sculpted navy beams of light. It is a specific subject for someone who spends time beneath the surface, with the same 12 × 12-inch format as the rest of this collection.

Three checks before choosing

• Match the subject. A familiar place or favorite activity gives the piece its meaning.
• Check the space. Each design above has a 12 × 12-inch frame. Mark out a one-foot square to judge the scale, and allow room for any rope hanger.
• Leave time for making and shipping. Current pieces are made to order. Check the listing and shipping information for dispatch timing; carrier transit comes after production.
