Nevada County has always been more than a place—it’s a community stitched together by stories, small moments, and shared pride. In my nearly 30 years here (born and raised, through and through), I’ve seen plenty of changes. I can remember when there weren’t even Dorsey Drive on/off ramps for the highway, and when a Denny’s sat where Jimboy’s now stands. Change is inevitable, sure—but somehow, Nevada County still feels like it’s frozen ten years in the past, and I’m totally okay with that.
There’s something about this place that just feels like home in a way nowhere else can replicate. The moment I have to head “down the hill” to Roseville or Sacramento, my entire trip is spent counting the minutes until I’m back among the trees and mountains—the kind of landscape I could navigate with my eyes closed. It’s that connection to this land and these people that makes Nevada County so special, and it’s what inspired me to create something that lets us all carry a little piece of that feeling wherever we go.
I’m thrilled to announce that Nevada County–themed gifts are now available at the IttyBitty Store — a curated collection of locally inspired designs perfect for anyone who calls this place home (or wishes they did).
Enamel Mugs: Home in Every Sip
These enamel mugs have quickly become top sellers, and it’s easy to see why. Each one celebrates a different corner of Nevada County, blending bold design with meaningful detail:
Grass Valley Mug – A modern, minimalist nod to the city’s deep roots and creative energy, featuring clean typography and a local landmark made into line art.
Nevada City Mug – Perfect for those who love the historic charm and creative pulse of this artsy mountain town. The line art captures a big part of the history and what put us on the map.
North San Juan Mug – Rustic and real, just like the ridge itself. This mug highlights one of the town’s most iconic buildings, a quiet tribute to the folks who keep community alive there.
Each piece is lightweight, durable, and full of character—ideal for morning coffee, camping trips, or as a sentimental keepsake for friends and family near or far.
Stickers & Pins: Little Gifts with Big Heart
Small things make big statements. The “Support Your Local Everything” sticker and Nevada County Towns buttons are simple, powerful ways to spread small-town pride. Whether they land on a water bottle, laptop, or denim jacket, they remind us that our strength comes from lifting one another up.
They also make perfect stocking stuffers or little add-ons for thoughtful gift wrapping—because sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that carry the most meaning.
This season, skip the mass-produced noise and give something that truly means something. From mugs that celebrate our towns to stickers that remind us what really matters, these pieces aren’t just gifts—they’re love letters to the county we call home.
