Why is it important to support local vendors?
We practice what we preach! Shopping local is just as important for us as it is for our customers. When we buy from a local vendor we know that we are supporting a local entrepreneur and family. Check out a few of our favorite local New Orleans vendors that make our gift store truly special.
Lolli's Chocolates - Located in River Ridge, LA. Lolli's makes delicious pralines, chocolate covered oreos, graham crackers, dipped pretzels and many other amazing chocolate goodies for us.
Piety and Desire - New Orleans, LA. This chocolate maker surely stands out from the rest with their chocolate bars, hand rolled truffles and bean to bar standards.
Mignon Faget - New Orleans, LA. This jewelry maker creates beautiful glassware and Halo bracelets for us. You can find her glasses in sets of 2 or sets of 4 as well as in gifts.
JP Nola Art - New Orleans, LA. We adore her crushed oyster artwork and it's become a shop favorite. Not only does she make Mardi Gras themed artwork, but she also does pelicans, crosses, angel wings and Louisiana shaped.
Franks King Cakes - Des Allemands, LA. You know what they say about hole in the wall bakeries? They make the best cakes and we love our mini king cakes!
We are proud to support local artists and candy makers, so if there is someone you love that you want to see us support let us know!
