Question My daughter is getting married in June of 09. I want to get info for out of town guest baskets since the majority of people are coming from out of town. Where can I find or what products are from Nashville and thee surrounding areas? What do you suggest - what info should I include in the basket to make it both personal and a great welcome to Nashville? It will be many guests first visit to Music City.
Answer Hi Linda,
As you can imagine I just love Nashville gift baskets! and have them put together quite often for visiting friends and such.
The first place I usually start is online at our wonderful State Dept. of Agri. They have a great website that tells all about Tn products and they even have a directory with links to most companies so that you can order items directly from each business.
Here are the links: http://www.picktnproducts.org/

I use them all of the time when putting together "Nashville Baskets"
What do I suggest putting in the baskets..hmm
Here's a list of the items that I've used before w/links:
*Goo-Goo Clusters
(www.standardcandy.com)
*Tn Foods and other goodies
