Does that help make your holiday shopping easier? Don’t forget, if you missed PART ONE (gifts for both boys and girls birth to 13, holiday attire for the whole family, traveler gift ideas, and family gift ideas), you can see that HERE! If I’ve missed a category, please let me know! I’m sure I’ll still have a few more to share this holiday season.
Okay, I’m off to enjoy Charleston with my favorite ladies! I hope YOU all have the best Monday! See you tomorrow! xx
Lauren says
You knocked the gift guides outta the park again!! There are so many things I will be buying from this list.
I hope you enjoy Charleston!! It’s a short drive from us so we go a lot. The carriage rides are adorable, they have some good ghost tours, and shopping on King Street is great. 82 Queen is one of the best restaurants! Can’t wait to read all about it when you get back!
Emily says
Halls chophouse is the best meal I’ve ever had. Get their side of corn and the chopped salad is amazing too (in addition to their steaks).
Elspeth says
You did a ton of work on all these! Thanks so much for sharing!! Enjoy your trip!

Julie says
Callies Biscuits! UH-mazing. And also, dinner at Poogan’s Porch. I absolutely LOVE Charleston. It is so charming and beautiful. Hope you have the best time!
Bethany says
Yes to Callie’s!!
Ashley says
Shay I want on a girls trip there last Fall and we ate at Husk and Halls Chop House and both were great. We tried to get into FIG but they were booked. We heard great things about it though. If you can squeeze in biscuits from Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit they are great too! Have so much fun!
Paige E says
Charleston is one of my favorite places! Find the Taco Boy truck or restaurant and have the fried avocado taco! You must do it! Also, walk through the houses on the Battery, facing the water. Beautiful! All of French Quarter is beautiful walking. It may be a bit cold, but our favorite little beach town is Folly Beach. Also Mt Pleasants. Have a wonderful time on our East Coast!
Bethany says
Ghost tour!
Sherri says

Dawn says
Shrimp and Grits at S.N.O.B. are the BEST you will ever have!!! You MUST get them…… Also the lobby bar at The Charleston Place Hotel is a fabulous place to pop in and have drinks while you are shopping King Street. So lovely. Taco Boy have a fabulous frozen screwdriver that is amazing!! Ohhhh take me back please……

Jennifer says
You have to visit Off Track Ice Cream Shop!!! We were in Savannah, Charleston, Greenville, Raleigh and Maryland this summer and made it a point to find the best ice cream shop in each destination. I’ve cream was amazing! Hand crafted, you can see them making it. One of our favs was peanut butter & jelly…handcrafted peanut butter ice cream with homemade butter cookie crumbles and house made strawberry jelly. Mint chocolate chip actually had mint leaves crushed in it. Don’t leave Charleston without trying it! Always love the stories of the owners and how they started up as well!
