9 Block Island Gifts for People Who Can't Stop Talking About the Island
For anyone who has stood on the Point Judith ferry dock and felt their shoulders drop.
Some people take a trip to Block Island. Other people come back every summer, know which beach to skip on a Saturday, and bring up the island in conversations that have nothing to do with it. If that sounds like someone on your list (or you), here are 9 gifts they'll actually wear, use and talk about.

1. A lighthouse hoodie with a story behind it
Southeast Light is the image people picture when they think of the island, and this vintage-style engraving of it is the kind of design that holds up after many washes. It's warm enough for the ferry's upper deck in October.
Southeast Light Engraving Hoodie, $58 →
2. The tee for people who know the lighthouse was moved
In 1993 the entire Southeast Light was rolled back from the eroding Mohegan Bluffs. Island people bring this up with pride, and this shirt starts that conversation for them.
Southeast Light Moved 300 Feet Tee, $32 →
3. A tee for the best island fact there is
Block Island has no traffic lights. That one fact explains a lot about the island's pace, and it fits on a shirt.
4. The 2026 Southeast Light ornament
This one is dated, so it marks the year. It's an easy add-on gift, a nice touch on a present, and the start of a collection if you come back every year.
2026 Southeast Light Ornament, $18 →
5. A mug for coffee before the first boat
It has the same lighthouse engraving as the hoodie, on an 11 oz mug. It gets used every morning, so they'll think about the island every morning.
6. The "Our Deer Don't Fly" Christmas crewneck
Anyone who has driven the island at dusk knows about the deer. This is a holiday sweater with an inside joke for the ugly-sweater party, and people who don't know the island still get a laugh from it.
Our Deer Don't Fly Sweatshirt, $48 →
7. Santa takes the ferry, like everyone else
Even Santa has to make the reservation. It's a lighter holiday option to layer or to wear in the warmer shoulder months.
Santa Takes the Ferry Tee, $32 →
8. A Rhode Island crewneck for the whole state
This is for the Rhode Islander who splits their time between the mainland and the island. It has collegiate lettering, a heavyweight blend and sizes up to 5XL. New this week.
Rhode Island Varsity Crewneck, $48 →
9. A tote for beach runs
It's a sturdy canvas tote with a beach-pass design. It works for Crescent Beach in July and the grocery store in January.
