Four Inspiring Gift Suggestions Available at Piggly Wiggly
Shopping for host gifts, small gestures for friends or colleagues, or presents for teachers? Head on over to Piggly Wiggly, grab a cart, and let's explore the aisles! This grocery store chain has a rich history, originating in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. With over 500 locations spanning 18 states, you're sure to find one near you, even beyond the South.
Piggly Wiggly is more than just produce, meat, and pantry items; it's an advocate for local brands. So if you're seeking unique gift options, look no further!
Blooming Ideas
In a time crunch for a thoughtful host gift, take a detour to the Pig's floral section. Recently, I was after a little something for a friend who loves hosting playdates. With the plant shop closed, I stumbled upon a display of y-shaped potted African violets and bulbs, priced at half the plant store's cost. On other days, their cut flower section might offer local-grown sunflowers or mini arrangements in bud vases.
Tipple and Taste
Some Piggly Wiggly stores excel at wine and beer selections, boasting an impressive roster of labels not usually found in traditional grocery stores. These boutique finds often include local options and might even cater to your hosting needs or host gift preferences.
Brewed Delights
A thoughtful bag of locally roasted coffee beans could make a perfect host gift. Senior Food Editor Josh Miller swears by the coffee aisle in his local Pig, which seems to reign supreme among fancy coffees, stocking local and regional roasters along with big-name beans.
Savor the South
Supporting local businesses is a grassroots approach to gift-giving. Piggly Wiggly generally carries completely different finds, depending on the location. Southern Living's Editorial Director of Food recently discovered this while visiting an out-of-state Pig, likening the experience to "visiting a foreign planet." In my local Pig, I've discovered Mook Mills Cheese Straws, irresistible frozen chocolate cookie dough from The Break-Up Cookie (a go-to gift), colorful jams and preserves from Stone Hollow Farmstand, and Emily's Heirloom Pound Cakes. Spend some time exploring their offerings, and you're bound to find small-batch treats that'll impress your host.
By selecting locally-sourced products for your host gifts, you'll not only receive high-quality items but also contribute to the local economy and support small businesses. What a win-win!
