From Downtown Raleigh, With Love

Holiday party season is upon us! You don’t want to show up empty-handed, right? We have five great gifts your hosts will love, all conveniently available within walking distance in downtown Raleigh.

• A beautiful seasonal bouquet from TG Floristry. Seek out this hidden gem on Morgan Street. Call ahead and they’ll create a custom bouquet for your host. Same-day orders can be picked up in-store Wednesday-Sunday. 130 E. Morgan St.

• Bubbly from Raleigh Wine Shop! Our beloved wine shop is closer to the heart of downtown than ever before with their recent move to Bloodworth Street. They’ve got chilled sparkling wine in addition to an impressive selection of reds and whites from around the world (all of which can be gift-wrapped). Pro tip: Amp up that hostess gift with a basket of cheeses, crackers and spreads from RWS! 317 S. Bloodworth St.

• A box of macrons from Lucette Grace. What host doesn’t love a collection of macrons? And Lucette Grace’s, in their signature yellow box, never disappoint. Pro tip: Got extra time? Order their Box O’ Treats for a delicious selection of LG pastry goodness. 235 S. Salisbury St.

• Greenwich Trading Company soaps at the N.C. Museum of History gift shop. The heavenly scents from these luxurious soaps made with botanical oils and extracts and creamy cocoa butter never fail to impress. Locally owned and crafted and sold at one of the best museum gift shops in the state! 5 E. Edenton St. 

• Box of stationery from Decree. For the host who loves a handwritten note, pull together a box of custom stationery. They’ll love that the cards are designed and printed right here in Raleigh at this charming new downtown shop. 135 S. Martin St.
