When it comes to buying stocking stuffers, I like to buy goods made in North Carolina.  For example, one year I purchased Moravian cookies produced in Winston-Salem and shipped them to my extended family in California.  Last year, I bought candles made by a Greensboro woman named Kelly Cutts.  My aunts/uncles/cousins loved them!

Since Christmas is coming, it's time to buy more Made in NC products.  I recently visited the Farmer's Market for some ideas.  Homemade soap?  Honey?  If you have a suggestion, please post it!  I'd appreciate your help.

Julie great idea! I was born & raised in NC, but I think I’ve learned of some great stocking stuffers, that I hadn’t thought of from your blog post. I’ll have to keep checking back to see what ideas others come up with.

Here’s one I have for you, Red Bird peppermint puffs. From the piedmont candy company, in Lexington. Web site- http://www.piedmontcandy.com/ They have other things also. I choose the peppermint puffs, because someone gave me some of those one year for Christmas at an office I was working in. I thought they were so good & neat, as they came wrapped in plastic with red birds on it & Mfg. in Lexington, NC.

I am "lucky" to work with the most respected names in television news in the Piedmont, such as veterans Neill McNeill, Van Denton and Rich Brenner. As co-anchor of the FOX 8 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 Newscasts, our job is to inform you with the news you need to know and what interests you most. Many of our stories come from your ideas. We are here to help so I encourage you to give your feedback. Setting the formalities aside, I'm originally from "The O.C." in California. After working as Anchor/Reporter in five TV stations across the country in the past decade, it's relieving to settle in the beautiful and lush North Carolina. If I'm not exploring the area, you can find me trying new restaurants or jogging with my barky, but loveable dog. During my downtime, I continue to search for a remedy to de-frizz my hair caused by the humidity, shop for television clothes that are not my favorite basic (but boring) black, and decide whether or not to wear my glasses.
