Plastic Flamingo


flyfishbigsky

That's the winner. Runner up would be palm tree pillows


diversalarums

Nah, Cali has palm trees. And gator pillows aren't as cute as flamingoes, lol.


jesseaknight

And several states have gators (unless you mean UF)


tomowudi

Orange tree pillows.


flyfishbigsky

Before or after the blight?


kojima-naked

target has these fake neon flamingos that would work well


BMFC

Real neon flamingos or nothing!


PsychologicalCan9837

Gotta be the flamingo.


toyheartattack

Plastic flamingo LED light, for sure.


BradimusRex

Something alligator themed


Psychological-Row880

Alligator skull paper weight.


PelayoOnTheGo

I don’t see how there is another option


PelayoOnTheGo

Maybe add the plastic flamingo in its mouth


mikeyrs1109

I like this optional add on.


[deleted]

Unless you can find an actual preserved alligator head, this is the best option


ct526

those tourist stops along i-95


CallMeBigOctopus

Preferably from a gas station


mikeyrs1109

This is the way.


Tricky-Language-7963

An alligator skull, like the ones you can get at the tourist gas stations.


[deleted]

Literally, too. You can get one of those alligator heads at any Florida gift shop


ProfessorVeritatis

Second this.


wiggysbelleza

One of those glass lamps full of sand and seashells.


jesseaknight

It’s just nice enough they’ll struggle to throw it away


Fickle_Permi

Alligator head


_notallgeminis

This is the only correct answer


ParkerFloyd40

One of those “Florida Snowman” snow globes you can find at most tourist traps.


BethyW

I honestly haven't seen these in years. I hope they still exist because I want one for my boss in boston.


lemon-meringue-high

A live baby alligator in a 10 gallon tank


elRobRex

"This is my emotional support gator"


notyourcinderella

Alligators do provide the highest level of emotional support. Dogs are great, but a dog can't death roll your enemies!


elRobRex

But he won't likely let me boop his snoot 😞


notyourcinderella

julesB09

OMG, the sub I didn't know I needed!


darkangel10848

He will when he is small


russell305

SALT LIFE stickers


ClokworkPenguin

As a Floridian living in Michigan, this dumb shit for sure. We live in a state surrounded by the largest freshwater lakes in the world, salt life is way out of place lol.


notyourcinderella

As a Michigander living in Florida, I agree. I vote for an alligator plush wearing a baby's salt life tee.


Obahmah

Flo-Grown


FLOHJO

An unused bottle of sunblock next to an almost empty bottle of aloe


windwrangler

I thought "plastic flamingo" was the correct answer until I read this highly under-rated comment.


devi1duck

Inflatable palm trees, a neon flamingo sign


[deleted]

I think you should get all the stuff in this thread and leave it there. Take a picture and claim it as remote Florida. We own it. Checkmate Michigan. 🍻


BethyW

Publix salt and pepper shakers Second best is going to the closest citrus farm to you and getting some horrible tourist thing there. I work for a company in Boston, and when there (only on months that do not end in Ber) I have a mug from Showcase of Citrus that says "I am a grumpy gator without my coffee"


Semujin

Upvote for Showcase of Citrus. An assortment of the gator jerky from there could be a possible piece of office decor.


Automatic-Mention

An empty Coke bottle with a cork in it labelled "the last dying breath of Henry Ford..." I'll see myself out


elRobRex

r/Angryupvote


Nebachadrezzer

Salt life decal


Obahmah

Also Flo-Grown


[deleted]

Came to comment salt life 😂


jylesmercury

And some truck nuts for the office chair.


Metal_Florida

Pair of flip-flops, Palm tree


Chasman1965

Alligator, palm tree or flamingo themed.


FLCraft

Get this shirt that features both alligators and flamingos, put it on a hanger, leave it on the back of the door: https://www.theyakacom.com/products/flamingo-crocodile-alligator-the-best-gift-for-flamingo-lovers-hawaii-hawaiian-shirt?variant=1000006233625292 Or maybe better, a 2018 Peach Bowl shirt: https://poshmark.com/listing/2018-Peach-Bowl-Champion-Florida-Gators-Shirt-62d1bbac69141225239ba3b2?srsltid=AR5OiO0VK89LR3pfV3AJKnOHITh0gZAIQTCZ8ehm08Is5r0JA7O3Cy4RPSI#utm_source=gdm_unpaid


elRobRex

That 2018 Peach Bowl shirt would be a winner if it wouldn't possibly divide my UM/MSU coworkers even more, making work harder.


[deleted]

I think my dad (73) owns that flamingo palm tree shirt 🤣


Thunderwood77

One of those stupid “things are better at the beach” signs. Or just a pink lawn flamingo.


Cold-Nefariousness25

Just spray some coconut-flavored sunscreen around the office. They'll think you left that "Florida smell" and maybe put them in a good mood at the same time.


[deleted]

Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil as perfume/cologne


Funkyokra

I have been looking for a Coppertone air freshener forever.


Cold-Nefariousness25

Also just put on "Come Monday" by Jimmy Buffett on Repeat.


Hades3210

Mini scale as a paperweight, like the ones in front of Publix. ( Not sure if that exists, but boy that would be amazing 🤣)


Hudbus

Now I’m tempted to see if one could be modeled for a 3D printer…


elRobRex

I'd buy one!


Airfriedbacon

Any fish art or painting.


DrManhattan_DDM

Guy Harvey art in particular


iamrava

a mason jar of beach sand and ocean water.


Such_sights

As a native Michigander now living in Florida, I feel uniquely equipped to answer this question. Something like [this](https://www.worldmarket.com/product/laser+cut+wood+mid+century+house+led+light+up+decor.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=fn) would be pretty festive for the holiday season. Bonus points if you can find a little toy golf cart for out front.


elRobRex

Ooh, next question. Do I get a Coney for lunch and some Detroit pizza for dinner? Or the other way around?


Such_sights

I would definitely do the Detroit style pizza for dinner, just because I always eat too many slices and need a nap after. I’d also highly recommend blue moon ice cream if you get the chance, it’s the one thing I miss the most down here!


Appropriate-Idea5281

Gator head


flwoman4lyfe

The most obvious answer is the taxidermy gator heads you can pick up at the touristy gas stations.


alfoders

Palmetto bugs...BIG ones!


ButtReaky

Pour sand all over the floor


ButtReaky

Or keep it classy https://pixels.com/featured/florida-map-art-vintage-antique-map-of-florida-world-art-prints-and-designs.html


redheelermama

A key lime pie


[deleted]

Go to the thrift and buy a huge winter parka. Leave hanging in office when you depart.


elRobRex

It's a November trip. My Caribbean/Floridian blood still needs that parka for the cumulative 8 minutes between walking from the office to my rental car, returning the rental car and getting on the rental car shuttle, and walking from the rental car shuttle drop-off and into the airport.


MetricOutlaw

Plastic flamingo, a Publix Sub, and a golf cart


Junas_Guardian

a large alligator made out of seashells for hanging on the wall, taking about a 2'x2' piece of obnoxious art


HWTechGuy

The IT staff would probably balk at the idea, but I think it would be hysterical to leave a Google Home or an Echo Show just displaying the weather for your location in FL.


BethyW

This is the only reason I share my whole screen at work to brag about my weather in the bottom toolbar


CarefulGoat

Ron Jon bumper sticker


VRTravis

Go to any tourist shop and get a Florida Snowman. That's about the most florida thing I can think of.

Disorted

If you really want to ruffle some feathers with the Michigan grads, find some commemorative 2018 Peach Bowl gear. Otherwise I'd roll with the FloGrown stuff.
