Christmas is less than two weeks away, and you know what that means – time to finish up that gift list! As you all know, we love our city here at Carriage Properties, and so we have put together a Charleston-made gift guide which includes gifts that that are made right here in Charleston. Friends and loved ones who don’t live in Charleston will love receiving a little piece of the Holy City this Christmas.

1. Goldbug Bee Earrings – A Croghan’s Jewel Box exclusive designed in house by a member of the fourth generation. These would certainly “bee” a great gift. This collection includes earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Available through Croghan’s.

2. Middleton Made Knives – Handmade knives made right outside the city in St. Stephen, South Carolina. Quintin Middleton has been making knives since 2003, and counts some of Charleston’s most popular chefs, like Sean Brock, as his customers. Available through Charleston Cooks.

3. Heritage – The new cookbook from famed Charleston-based chef Sean Brock. Does not require much of an explanation. Available through GG Mercantile & Co.

4. Charleston Rice Beads – A Candy Shop Vintage creation, these beads pay homage to the history of Charleston and its rice culture. Available in a wide range of colors, these beads are inspired by a vintage piece and reimagined for today. Available through Charleston Rice Beads.

5. Rewined Candles – Beautiful candles made by recycling used wine bottles. With lovely scents and names like Sauvignon Blanc, lighting one of these candles will definitely put a smile on the recipients face. Available through Rewined.

6. Mixers from Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. – Created by famous Charleston mixologist and restauranteur Brooks Reitz, these mixers are fantastic. With their delicious flavor and chic amber bottles, these gifts are sure to make a statement. We recommend following Brooks’ recipe on the bottle. Available through G&G Mercantile & Co.

7. The Ultimate Coconut Cake – Last but not least is Peninsula Grill’s famed Coconut Cake. Not able to join your friends and loved ones for the holidays this year? Send them this twelve pound cake, not only will they not notice your absence, they will probably start asking you not to join more often. Available through Peninsula Grill.

Happy Shopping!
