I've joked with friends that one year I want to try to buy all my holiday gifts at the TravelCenter truck stop at I-24 and Old Hickory Boulevard. Have you been in there? They sell everything! It looks like a Service Merchandise store in 1987. Hope you enjoy that Jeff Foxworthy cassette.
Luckily, this year terminal laggards like myself have a better option. The Turnip Truck locations in East Nashville and The Gulch are offering a great selection of gift baskets that go well beyond your typical fruit and caramel popcorn version. Ranging in price from $24 to $69.99, they are arranged around clever themes like "Felici Vacanze" (Happy Holidays in Italian), "Bathed in Luxury," "Chocolate Bomb" and "Locals Only." The baskets are filled with local gourmet food items and pure, organic health and beauty products,
With 24-hour notice, they will also put together a custom basket based on whatever theme and price level you suggest. Some creative ideas they offer include "The Dog's Best Friend," "The Cat's Meow," "All Natural Baby," "Baker's Delight" and "Clean Home for the Holidays."
Let The Turnip Truck help you look more creative than you really are and delight your holiday gift recipients!
