Some great gift ideas!! Remember BATCH – a great one-stop shop in the Nashville Farmer’s Mkt. a quick few min. from East Nashville – for a huge selection of locally made goods from food to boot wax to note cards. Lots of great “guy gifts” which we all know can be some of the hardest gifts to find. A new “household fave” of mine which would be a great stocking stuffer for guys or girls – Moonshine Miracle Residue Remover – made by the East Nashville Moonshine Boot Wax folks! Avail. at Batch among other local places in cool brown glass bottle!
My sister just opened a store called Sercy’s+Co that has beautiful Nashville souvenirs. It’s in the Gulch across Broadway there are a bunch of new shops and a Publix going in there. She does a bunch of custom bridesmaid gifts there too. Definitely worth checking out!
Thank you for this list! Another favorite is Elle Gray in Sylvan Park! They have women’s clothing, accessories, shoes. As a huge bonus, the women who run the shop are SO helpful and willing to put together the best outfits for any occasion. Cant recommend enough!
Anzie Blue’s CBD and Charcuterie Boards are great gifts!
