How My Journey as a Teacher and Mom Shaped Salt & Sentiments: Coastal Gifts With Heart
Share
At Salt & Sentiments, every product tells a story—and that story begins with me. I’m a former teacher, mom of four, and a self-proclaimed beach bum who traded New England winters for sunny shores 16 years ago. Our family’s move to Florida wasn’t just about escaping the cold. It was about embracing a lifestyle filled with salty air, sandy toes, and endless sunshine. That coastal energy inspires everything we create here at Salt & Sentiments—where coastal gifts meet personalized, heartfelt designs.
From Classroom Creativity to Coastal Designs
As a teacher, designing, creating, and personalizing came naturally. In the classroom, I loved making learning fun and meaningful through hands-on projects. Now, that same passion fuels Salt & Sentiments. Every custom gift is designed with thought and care, just like I approached every lesson plan. And as a mom, I know the joy of giving something special that says, “I see you. I love you.”
Whether it’s our custom beach towels, coastal jewelry, or personalized tumblers, our products are crafted to help you celebrate life’s moments with a touch of tropical charm.
Coastal Gifts for Every Season
At Salt & Sentiments, we celebrate summer vibes year-round while honoring each holiday with a beachy twist. Our collections feature:
-
