My sister-in-law and her husband were coming to Memphis for a dream vacation they had been planning for years. They were so excited, and we wanted to do something to make the trip even more special for them. I decided on a gift basket, but wanted something unique and special. I found a gift basket through from Made in TN that was almost perfect, but wanted to see if I could make a couple of changes.

When I came back with other items she was ringing up my order which was good. I asked her if she got the candy. She said no you can get them out of the basket. Subsequently I left without purchasing the $80 worth of candy.

   Read moreMade in TN!!! I can't thank you all enough for what you helped me accomplish for our Annual Board of Directors meeting that was held in Nashville this August. Elizabeth Cooray you are an absolute gem! I am so grateful for all the assistance you provided me from placing my order, to offering to accept our tote bags and fill them with the order, to making sure our one gluten-free bag was clearly marked with a ribbon (the recipient was grateful as well), and to delivering the filled totes to our hotel ON TIME! I truly enjoyed working with you and it made my life much less stressful while prepping for the event. And all of our attendees were grateful that we supported a local company for our event. Thank you so very much...
