Unsalted Great Lakes Sticker: Freshwater Pride for Your Gear
Save
The Unsalted Great Lakes Sticker is a small, slightly smug salute to the freshwater seas that surround Michigan. Out here, a day at the beach means no salt in your hair and nothing with fins larger than a lake trout. We grow lavender in Rockford, a short drive from the shore of Lake Michigan, and this sticker says how we feel about it better than a long speech would.
What the sticker says
People who grow up near the Great Lakes tend to get a little defensive when someone calls them "just lakes." They are big enough to have horizons, waves and shipwrecks, and they are fresh water. The word unsalted sums it up with a wink. It is a conversation starter at the trailhead, the campground or the office, and anyone who has spent a summer on the shoreline will get the joke right away.
Size and where it fits
| Detail | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Size | 4 x 4 inches |
| Good spots | Water bottles, laptops, coolers, notebooks and planners |
| Best for | Great Lakes fans, stocking stuffers and small add-on gifts |
At 4 inches it is large enough to read from across a picnic table but small enough to share a laptop lid with a few other favorites.
Getting a clean, lasting stick
- Clean first: wipe the surface to remove dust and fingerprints, then let it dry completely.
- Pick a smooth spot: flat or gently curved surfaces hold best. Textured plastic and rough powder coat are harder.
- Press firmly: start in the center and smooth outward to push air bubbles to the edges.
- Give it time: let it sit for a day before it gets wet, scrubbed or dunked in the lake.
An easy gift for lake people
This is the kind of small gift that fits in a card, a stocking or the side pocket of a beach bag. It pairs well with other Michigan-made goods from our farm, so you can tuck it into a larger box for someone who moved away and misses the water. Build a mix in the Gift Box Builder or browse our lavender gifts for more ideas.
