I love having friends who are smarter than me!
I polled my Facebook friends to find out the very best gifts the ATL has to offer this holiday season, and I was blown away. I can't believe there's so much talent in one city, and I'm so proud to call it home! I've loved going to all the websites seeing the different products. Happily, I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping!
I want to point out that there are some awesome stores here that carry a ton of local products. I've included just one product from a few stores, but Huff Harrington Home, The Beehive Atlanta, Youngblood Boutique and The Merchant Atlanta all sell many local items.
I hope you enjoy the gifts below, and please leave any additional recommendations in the comment section. I'd also love to hear about your favorites on the list, and I'm expecting a ton of comments about the boat!
Happy Shopping Everybody! #weloveatl
