Lots of people have moved out on New Jersey for a variety of reasons.

Two of my three kids did for jobs. One came back, thank God.

What they took with them was a lot of Jersey pride, so they liked to display it as much as they could to remind them of home.

Add to that the proud citizens among us who stayed and want to display our pride in whatever way we can.

If you're looking for creative gift ideas for the holidays for the New Jersey lover on your list, here are a few great creative items we found on Etsy.

They are sure to be on the top of the list of their favorite presents this year.
