About Us
Welcome to Salt & Sentiments!
We’re thrilled you’re here, and we’re excited to share a little about who we are and what makes our store special.
Rooted in Family, Inspired by the Sea
At Salt & Sentiments, we’re a proud family-run business based right here in the USA. I’m Tammy—a mom of four amazing kids and a former teacher with a heart for helping children with dyslexia. This shop grew from a simple dream and a deep love for creating meaningful, personalized gifts.
What started in the classroom found its way to the coast. Summers spent recharging by the ocean sparked my passion for beach-inspired designs and heartfelt messages. Today, Salt & Sentiments blends family values, creativity, and coastal calm to help you celebrate life’s most special moments.
From the Classroom to the Coast
As a teacher and someone who cherishes life’s little moments, I know how special it feels to give a gift that truly connects. Whether it’s wearing a fun, festive tee for a holiday or finding a heartfelt way to say thank you, those simple joys inspired the heart of Salt & Sentiments. Our store was born to blend that same thoughtful spirit with a breezy, coastal vibe—offering personalized gifts that bring warmth, smiles, and a touch of the sea to every occasion.
Gifts with Heart & Coastal Charm
At Salt & Sentiments, we offer a curated collection of personalized gifts for every occasion—from birthdays and holidays to those sweet, everyday surprises. Each item is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the warmth of your message and the beauty of life’s simple moments. With a blend of quality, creativity, and coastal-inspired style, our pieces are made to celebrate connection, love, and the joy found in the little things.
Why Choose Salt & Sentiments?
As a mom and former teacher, I understand the joy of both giving and receiving something truly meaningful. I’ve felt the magic of finding the perfect gift—and the warmth that comes from knowing someone put thought into it. At Salt & Sentiments, we blend that personal touch with coastal inspiration, pouring love and care into every product. Each piece is designed to feel thoughtful, heartfelt, and crafted as if it were for our own family—because to us, every customer becomes part of ours.

Salt & Sentiments Gives Back
At Salt & Sentiments, giving back is at the heart of everything we do. As a co-founder and volunteer intervention coordinator at The Literacy Center for Dyslexia (TLC), I’m deeply committed to supporting students with dyslexia through specialized intervention, awareness, and community support. That’s why we proudly donate 5% of our net sales to TLC—helping children and adults unlock their reading potential.
We’re also passionate about animal welfare. 5% of all net sales from our pet product line goes directly to local humane societies and rescue organizations, supporting the care and protection of dogs and cats in need.
When you shop with us, you're not just purchasing a gift—you’re helping us make waves of positive change in the lives of others.
With heartfelt thanks,
Tammy & the Salt & Sentiments Family
