Nashville, TN is a great location to host a convention. Whether local, national or international, Nashville provides great accommodations, a wide array of events and lest we forget MUSIC!
When considering gifts for conventions hosted in Nashville you have many options. From the traditional to the themed, a custom package for your attendees, guests or speakers can be localized with gourmet treats from Music City USA.
The Goo Goo Cluster, the worlds first combination candy bar was invented in Nashville in 1912 and is still a favorite item among candy lovers of all ages.
But Goo Goos are not the only yummy treat to come out of middle Tennessee.
Page’s Premiums offers a variety of nut mixes with hints of chocolate pieces and gourmet treats. Owner, Singer/Songwriter Tracy Page moved to Nashville to pursue music, but found the industry was driving her “nuts”, inspiration struck and she was soon creating batches of nut mixes – original, music city, monkey krunch, Smokin’ Southwest Blend, Asian Persuasion and a skinny mix along with peanut brittle, toffee and gourmet candies.
Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Co are my new favorite chocolate bars. With a yummy list of unique flavors and brilliant packaging, adding Olive & Sinclair chocolate bars to a gift basket or convention package is a delicious treat on all the
senses.
Willa’s makes a great cookie (shortbread, praline, lemon pecan, gingersnaps, key lime almond, chocolate mac adamia, mocha almond) and spicy cheese biscuits, both a southern tradition, and offers a full corporate package with private and custom label options. A great option when looking to brand the event or a special thank you. The key lime box made the cover of The Gift Basket Association’s “Tips & Trends” magazine this spring.
Just to name but a few. If you’re interested in learning more about local products please don’t hesitate to contact us or check out the website dedicated to all things made in Tennessee. www.PickTNproducts.org

My daughter turned 4 last week… I know, WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!
She is a little sweetie and the day was filled with lots of pink, princesses and a fairy hunt at dusk. She had a wonderful day and felt like a princess, but it wasn’t until the next day that I truly understood how our children mimic us.
As you know I’m a big fan of the Thank You Note, but I have to say I was beaming with pride when my 4 year old got up the day after her birthday and busily put pen to paper. She had written pages of squiggle lines when she came to me and asked for envelopes and stamps. I was amused, so I asked her to read the first letter to me and she began with ‘Dear so and so, thank you for my “birthday present”, it was very sweet of you to think of me on my birthday. I will have fun using my present with my friends. Love Peyton.’ It was so cute I wish I would have recorded it!
I know that sometimes it’s hard to know what to say in a thank you note so here are a few basics to help get you started. A couple of sentences is all you need.
1. You want to say thank you for the actual thoughtfulness
2. Say how it made you feel
3. OR how you plan to use it
Note that you can use this format in note or via a video. A quick personally recorded video message sent via email or a video host such as YouTube can be a huge hit and shared among your friends.

I love that we celebrate St Patrick’s Day! Created to celebrate Saint Patrick it is most definitely a day for beer lovers!
Besides the overflowing of GREEN and the fact that Spring MUST be right around the corner, it’s a great to come together and celebrate… period! Lots of Irish pubs and non-Irish pubs will be celebrating on the 17th.
If you’re looking for a unique “We’re Lucky To Have You As A Customer” gift this month, may I suggest a little green to go with the amber. From speciality “green” treats to Celtic symbols and grow your own four leaf clover kits, there’s something for every interest and budget.
