There’s something special about Nevada County that never quite leaves you. Maybe it’s the scent of pine after rain, the way downtown Grass Valley lights up on a chilly evening, or the quiet hum of North San Juan just before sunset. In my nearly 30 years here, I’ve seen plenty of change—but what hasn’t changed is the heart of this place.
That feeling of “home” is exactly what inspired the IttyBitty Store — a collection of Nevada County–themed gifts that capture our local pride, our quirks, and the places that make this county unforgettable. Whether it’s the holidays or just another Tuesday morning with coffee in hand, these pieces are designed to bring a little foothill magic into everyday life.
Enamel Mugs: A Little Bit of Home in Every Sip
The stars of the shop are without a doubt the Nevada County enamel mugs, each celebrating a different town — Grass Valley, Nevada City, and North San Juan. Every mug features clean, durable design work inspired by local landmarks. They’re lightweight, sturdy, and ready for anything — from your kitchen counter to a weekend camping trip.
These mugs make perfect gifts for locals who love their roots or for friends who’ve moved away but still miss the scent of cedar and the sound of the Yuba.
Tote Bags: Carry Local Love Everywhere You Go
New to the store are the Nevada County tote bags — practical, stylish, and built for everyday errands. Whether you’re heading to the Nevada City Farmers Market, picking up coffee on Mill Street, or tossing in your hiking essentials, these totes are durable reminders of where your heart belongs.
Each bag carries minimalist Nevada County artwork and lettering, perfect for pairing with your favorite cozy sweater or using year-round as your go-to carryall.
Tumblers: For the Ones Always on the Go
For those who need their caffeine fix no matter where life takes them, the IttyBitty stainless-steel tumblers are a must. These sleek, double-walled tumblers keep drinks hot (or ice-cold) for hours — and they proudly showcase Nevada County love while doing it.
Ideal for commuters, outdoor adventurers, and anyone who just wants a reliable cup that looks as good as it performs. Bonus: they fit perfectly in most cup holders and look great on your work desk.
If you’re looking for something thoughtful, unique, and full of small-town charm, the IttyBitty Store has you covered. From enamel mugs to tote bags, stickers, and tumblers, there’s something for every person who calls Nevada County home — even if they’re miles away.
