The Local Exchange — Local services in Marietta

Cute boutique shop highlighting goods made or grown in Georgia. I was looking for a hostess gift for relatives in another state and wanted to get them something that they couldn't necessarily get where they live.

Prices are more expensive than what you would pay for a generic, mass produced item, but are not cost prohibited. The sales clerk, Nikki, was very friendly and helpful and I enjoyed chatting with her at checkout. This is a great place to shop for unique and not mass produced gifts! I...
