Locals Only Gifts & Goods was selected to represent Tennessee for National Care Package Day happening on Thursday, Sept. 5, so of course we took a trip over to NorthShore to build our own.

This spot offers year-round premade boxes + three options to build your own with any items in the store as long as they fit in the box.

  • Small box | Four items starting at $11
  • Medium box | Six items starting at $13
  • Large box | Eight items starting at $15

City Editor Haley’s box

Good Fortune’s Refresh Lotion (tangerine spearmint Litsea cubeba), Chei-Man Tea, Alchemy Spice Co.'s Herbs de Provence oil infusion bottle, a Lauren Maxwell mug, Dr. Know’s Chill Pill CBD dog treats + a Chattanooga magnet.

I would gift this box to someone who loves a relaxing evening with a warm cup of tea and home-cooked meal — there’s even something for their pup.

City Editor Kristen’s box

Mad Priest Coffee Roaster’s Sloth Dispelling breakfast blend, Belle Chocolates Bolivia 80% bar, Clumpie’s Ice Cream Co.'s salted caramel sauce, Hoff & Pepper’s Mean Green sauce, The Rustic House candle (grapefruit + jambu), and a Chattanooga mug from Forman Pottery.

I would gift this box to someone who loves their morning coffee + enjoys sweet and spicy treats.
