Tennessee Gifts, Products and Services
I try to buy local as much as possible for our own household and gifts for others. Some of my favorite items are Sweetwater Valley Farms Cheese, Honey Jelly, Highland Winery, etc. A great website for TN products is:
Welcome to Pick Tennessee Products.
Are there other TN products or services, etc. that you can endorse that we can share with others? Thanks in advance!

I have a "best friend" who lived in Nashville for a while before moving back to South Carolina to become a college professor.
One year I made her a "Tennessee Gift Basket" for a Christmas present. I put in various Tennessee items. There was Blackberry Wine from Beachhaven in Clarksville, Goo-Goos, jams and jellies from the Loveless, little bottles of Jack Daniels, and various other items, and put it all in a little basket from Michael's. Makes a nice little Christmas present.
On and I just got the new catalog from Col. Littleton in the mail today. They have a lot of unique items and are located in Lynnville, Tennessee. Sorry I can't post a link but you can find them online and request a catalog yourself.

These are great gift ideas to introduce newbies families and friends to TN!
Thanks, SmokyMtnGal. That is a great website. I went straight to the wineries.  I have to keep DH happy now; there is work to be done.
Alleycat, I could not find a website for Col. Littleton's catalog - just the historical websites and town sites are coming up. If you can find one or even the return or ordering address for the catalog, would you mind posting it?
I have done baskets to send as gifts from home states before also, but they usually included things like maple syrup, kielbasa, dried cherries, hard pretzels and perogies!  (Not really the kielbasa or perogies, but other local goodies.  It does make a great gift.)

I found this site but am not sure it is it or not; I imagine that it is:
Colonel Littleton

Oh, another thing I added to my gift basket were those vacuum sealed slices of Clifty Farm ham (from Paris, Tennessee). And Colt's Bolts, a candy made in Nashville.

Why? There are links to businesses, services and attractions all over C-D. As long as you aren't promoting your own business I thought it was ok? There are links to Disney, Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, etc. I have put links up in the past to 3 Rivers Rambler and they were ok and others placed links to certain hotels and such and they were ok. We talk about restaurants and such.......
Oh well, I apologize if I did something wrong again.
