Best Artsy Candy and Gifts in Nashville 2026: Powder City Candy & Gifts
Old Hickory earned the nickname Powder City for its munitions production during World War I, but the best little store in Old Hickory Village offers things covered in a different kind of powder — like sugar, cinnamon and whatever is inside those Pixy Stix. Artist and owner Rachel Growden’s candy selection ranges from old school to luxe, and she also carries lots of stationery supplies and handmade and vintage paper goods. Powder City will have you wanting to write handwritten letters while eating dark chocolate in some kind of spiced cocoa fever dream of bookish autumn.
