Looking to check off the gift list with a few quick and easy gifts? For those who love food, we’ve sought out a few of this year’s favorites gift packs that are full of local goodies, and they’re easy to ship and share.
Taste of Nashville from Batch
A one-stop shop for gifts of all shapes, sizes, and flavors, Batch does the hard work for you, gathering up a host of local products in to one handy box. The Taste of Nashville pulls in a little bit of everything, from Southern bloody Mary mix by Walker Feed Company to Willa’s Hot Cheddar Bites. It’s just right for those who wish they could be in town for the holidays. ($125) batchnashville.com
For those who can’t get themselves to the wonderland that is the Goo Goo Shop and Dessert Bar, a gift like the Throwback Pail can bring the sweetness right to them. Filled with Goo Goo creations, plus a few old-school candies, it’s just the thing for any homesick chocolate lover. ($24.99) googoo.com
Bourbon Lover Gift Box from The Southernaire Market
All that’s missing from this tidy package is an actual bottle of bourbon. Otherwise, it comes packed with liquor-inspired items, like brittle, jam, and even bourbon-flavored toothpicks. ($65) southernairemarket.com
There’s no better way to share some Nashville love than with a delivery from Loveless Cafe. Their store is packed with goodies for the home cook, but we’re partial to this easygoing starter pack for a plate of chicken and waffles that’s available online. There’s waffle batter, chicken breading, and syrup for the ultimate holiday brunch at home. ($30) lovelesscafe.com
The merchandise at Caviar and Bananas is as gift-able as it is crave-able. There are options that range from The Tennessean, which is full of local goods, to Food Finds, which is a quarterly subscription of edible goods. For a one-off to send to the ultimate hostess, opt for The Entertainer, which includes snacks, like roasted almonds and wasabi peas, plus charcoal crackers, sausage, and whole-bean coffee.
