20 Nashville FINDS Perfect for the Holidays
Our list below is split into Hostess Gifts, Fashion & Beauty, and Home Decor. Enjoy!
HOSTESS GIFTS
Fresh holiday wreath
Any hostess would be thrilled to receive an arrangement of fresh, seasonal greenery and blooms — a sweet sentiment that helps to set the mood for weeks to come. These made-to-order holiday wreaths are made with a unique array of fresh materials, and if you’re looking to sweeten things up a little, you can add on a gourmet chocolate bar or small-batch caramels. Wreaths start at $105 at Lillian’s Floral Studio.
Bread and cheese
Spread Market in Germantown is a neighborhood market that has a little bit of everything — from specialty olive oils and tinned fish to homemade breads, charcuterie, and cookbooks. Pop in and grab a loaf of their fresh sourdough ($10) and a jar of their spreadable cheese with fresh herbs ($5). For an even more robust hostess gift, choose a bottle or two from their selection of specialty wines!
Serving forks
This set of seven mid-century-style charcuterie forks is a fun and practical gift to bring any hostess who loves serving appetizers and light bites before dinner. They would make the perfect addition to any charcuterie board or cheese plate this holiday season. Find the set for $35 at ēesome co.
Cozy cup spices
Savory Spice, in Franklin and at L&L Marketplace in West Nashville, has beautiful spices and gift packages. These spices give three options to warm up any cold day. Cheerful Chai is that classic chai with a holiday twist. Jolly Java is cocoa with spice flavors. And the third tin features Merry Mulling spices to add to wine or cider (and make any house smell just like Christmas!). The trio is $28.99 at Savory Spice.
Gift set
When you’re not sure what to get the hostess who has everything, this is the gift for her! Bloom Flower’s holiday gift basket has a little bit of everything, featuring festive goodies like a holiday-scented diffuser and pretty taper candles to a holiday soap plate and a metallic Christmas tree — the perfect hostess gift for a weekend stay. Pick one up for $150 at Bloom Flowers.
Bath balm
Give your hospitable hostess the gift of pampering herself with a luxurious bath balm that also doubles as the cutest ornament. Musee’s balms are handcrafted and natural, free of paragons, and safe to every skin type — and the pink village ornament is the icing on the cake. Find it for $12.50 at Woo Skincare + Cosmetics.
Book
We have a weakness for gorgeous coffee table books, and this is definitely one we would love to add to our collections. Arriving Home is a compilation of photos from various homes in the city, the mountains, the country, and coastal locales — all while being rooted in Southern design. It’s inspiring to thumb through, but it’s just as pretty sitting on a coffee table and doubling as decor. Pick up a copy for $45 at White’s Mercantile.
12 Days of Cheesemas
An advent calendar made out of cheese? Yes, please! The 12 Days of Cheesemas features a curated box of 12 cheeses (roughly 2 to 2.5 ounces of each) and an Advent calendar indicating which cheese to eat each day. There are also a few notes about the cheese flavor profile and a suggested wine pairing. Find this unique gift for $65 at GREYS Fine Cheese. (Be sure to order by this Friday, December 11!)
Napkins
Every hostess loves a pretty linen napkin, so help her freshen up her selection with a new set she can add to her entertaining rotation. Just outside of Nashville in Bell Buckle is Daffodilly Design, which offers these stone-washed napkins in a windowpane pattern. They can be used for every season and can be easily dressed up with gold or rattan napkin rings. Pick up a set of four for $36 at Daffodilly Design.
FASHION & BEAUTY
Pants
Natalie Busby is known for versatile, well-made clothes with everyday life in mind, and “The Chill Pant” fully encompasses that description. These comfortable, high-waisted pants have a relaxed and easy fit, featuring unexpected side slits and front patch pockets. You can style these in countless ways, dressed up or down for almost any occasion. Find a pair for $218 at Natalie Busby.
Faux fur mittens
‘Tis the season for cozy cold weather accessories! These impossibly soft faux fur mittens feature a chic plaid pattern available in both a blue motif (pictured here) and an all-brown colorway. They include a flip feature that allows you to expose your fingers when needed — great for everyday wear! Get a pair for $24 at Abednego in Germantown.
Self-care set
The Oribe brand has a loyal following, and for very good reason. This collection from Private Edition features the line’s signature shampoo and conditioner, plus the Côte d’Azur Replenishing Body Wash and Restorative Body Crème. It’s designed for gifting, with its unique limited-edition box featuring original artwork by Kohei Kyomori. Find the set for $175 at Private Edition.
Bag
This SAVAS crossbody bag combines style with function, with its pebble-grain texture, solid brass rivets, and adjustable strap, allowing you to wear it down on your hip or higher up. Made from 100% genuine Tennessee-tanned leather, it will soften and mold the more you wear it (and you’ll definitely want to wear it all the time). Find it for $475 at SAVAS.
Heels
Now is the time to start planning your New Year’s Eve ensemble, and we’ve got the perfect shoe for it. These stunning close-toed heels with an embellished knotted strap make a statement yet are neutral enough to pair with countless looks. Pick up a pair for $138 at e.Allen.
Beanie
Cap off your winter wardrobe with a stylish beanie! This Barbour cap features a chunky knit for ultimate warmth and is topped with a faux fur pom pom for a cute finishing touch. The neutral shade pictured here is “Mink” — but there are five other shades to choose from! Find it at Oak Hall for $50.
HOME DECOR
Nutcrackers
Forego the traditional Christmas decor and opt for these funky, festive nutcrackers from You’re Invited in Belle Meade. Featuring cupcake hats, peppermint buttons, and cheerful bright hues, these whimsical Nutcrackers will be the most fun addition to your decor yet! Find them for $48.95 each at You’re Invited.
Bowl
This handmade ceramic bowl ($85) from Happily Grey would make the perfect unique addition to any kitchen, dining, or living room. Use it as decor by stacking it on top of a few pretty books or for stylish storage. It comes in a black and white style, which is our pick, but also in a caramel and rose color for a softer vibe.
Decorative bowl with orbs
Epiphany may have a brand new location on Harding Pike, but you’ll still find the same gorgeous home accents, furniture, and decor you’ve grown to love. This marble bowl ($321) is stunning on its own, but filled with crystal orbs of various sizes ($21 to $39 each) instantly elevates it and makes a statement in your home.
Pillow
The cold winter months mean we’re spending more time at home, which is why it’s the ideal time for a little room refresh. We were immediately drawn to this gorgeous pillow from Margi’s Chair, measuring larger than your average throw pillow at 24-by-24 inches for maximum coziness. They come in several colors, but we’re partial to the deep blue! Find the pillow for $200 at Margi’s Chair.
Throw
Located in the heart of Belle Meade is an eclectic market of over 25 dealers featuring antiques and interior furnishings. You’ll find treasures galore there, but what caught our eye was this luxurious throw blanket made in Italy and perfect for keeping cozy this winter. There are plenty of colors and patterns to choose from, but we love this charcoal buffalo check style. Pick one up for $98 at Belle Meade Interiors & Antiques.
Have a fabulous December, Nashville!
