It’s the most wonderful time of the year – you know, the time when you have to buy a gift but have no idea what to get. Don’t worry. Your favorite small town (Travelers Rest, of course) has you covered on gifts for everyone.
The Adventurer
SC State Parks – Everyone needs a break from the hustle and the bustle after the holidays. Explore all 47 of our state’s beautiful parks for 12 months with the State Park Passport! (Pick yours up at Paris Mountain State Park.)
Sunrift Adventures – Grab some hiking gear or splurge on a kayak from the shop that’s been serving the Travelers Rest community for nearly 40 years.
The Coffee Junkie
Leopard Forest Coffee – A bag of their Farmhouse Roast makes a fantastic hostess gift! Or try the Extreme Dark Roast if you’re feeling bold.

The Good-Timer
Copperhead Mountain Distillery – Spend the day learning and tasting the upstate’s finest moonshine! Or, skip the tour and opt for a bottle of their peppermint moonshine – perfect gift basket addition!
FH Cigars – Their humidor is stocked with great brands of cigars for every price point and profile.
Swamp Rabbit Brewery – A growler of award-winning beer. Name a more practical gift…we’ll wait.
The Tasting Room – Visit their “Drink in Advance” board – buy a drink for a friend, write their name on a cork, and hang it on the board. Next time they visit The Tasting Room, they can cash it in. How cool is that?
The Foodie
