The Chattanooga Holiday Gift Guide
At Annie James, we believe in supporting SMALL. For your holiday gift giving delight, we’ve rounded up some of our all time favorite gifts from small businesses in our hometown of Chattanooga, TN (though you can get all of this stuff shipped to you wherever you are!) And as always: get your orders in soon! With pandemic delays, your favorite businesses might just sell out this year!
P.S. If you live in Chattanooga, you can support many of these small businesses at the Lookout Holiday Market on November 20th from 9-12 am (across from Cafe on the Corner on the Lawn of Christ Reformed Baptist).
For the Caffeine Addict:
A Goodman Coffee Airscape
We all have that friend or coworker who canNOT live without coffee. Get them what they really need this year: a refillable Coffee Airscape from Goodman’s coffee. Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Like you, we believe little changes really do make a big difference. Did you know that by purchasing a Goodman Coffee Airscape, you’ll save a bag & get 2 extra ounces of coffee beans, every time you fill refill?
Goodman’s St.Elmo is our designated refilling station, but we can assist you with refills at Warehouse Row as well. Feel free to call ahead and ask what we have available.”
For the Foodie:
Premium Olive Oil from
Maven Table
Good quality oil and vinegar can elevate an entire meal. Give the gift of great food with a special gift from Maven Table. Maybe a nice bottle of White Truffle Olive Oil? Or try something spicier like Fiery Citrus Olive Oil. If oil isn’t your thing, they also have balsamic oils and cocktail mixers!
