Krispy Kreme was founded by Vernon Rudolph, who bought a yeast-raised recipe from a New Orleans chef, rented a building in 1937 in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and began selling to local grocery stores.
If you had the time to go to Seagrove you could get pottery from Frank Neef, Eck MacCannless, Seagrove Art Pottery, or any other potters in that town. You could then go 20 minutes south to STARWorks glass to buy hand blown glass. If a trip to Seagrove is too far, there is a Seagrove Pottery store located in Salt Box Village in Cary. They have pottery from potters all over the state including a few from Seagrove. Cary Pottery is another local to Cary option. Check out some of the local farmers markets for other locally made items like soap, hot sauce, cider, etc.
There's a store at Crabtree (if you go to malls yet) literally called something like "NC gifts" or similar. It's upstairs on the half near Belk, I think.
The NC History Museum in downtown Raleigh would also have a lot of gift-type things.
Our State Magazine has some nice NC items, though most are too expensive for my taste. https://ourstatestore.com
