Chattanooga Business Selected to Showcase Tennessee’s Unique Care Packages
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A local business has been chosen to represent the entire state of Tennessee with their customizable care packages, gaining national attention and support for small businesses.
Located in the heart of Chattanooga, Locals Only is a gift shop that prides itself on offering products exclusively from the state of Tennessee. The shop was highlighted for their selection of exceptional care packages that include everything from spices and sauces to coffee and chocolate.
Honored for Their Unique Offerings
Danielle Landrum, the owner of Locals Only, expressed her excitement about being recognized. “We have, like a spa day gift box. We have a chocolate lovers box. We have a coffee lover box. There are many different items to choose from,” she said.
This special recognition comes in time with this year’s National Care Package Day, an event organized by American gift boxes. The event involves 51 small gift box companies from all 50 states, highlighting the importance of supporting local businesses in each region.
Landrum describes that each participating company carries items only representative of their specific area. “These are small businesses supporting other small businesses,” she added, emphasizing the community spirit behind the initiative.
A Deep-rooted Passion for Gift Boxes
Locals Only has been crafting gift boxes for nearly a decade. What started as a small gift box business has now grown into a beloved shop that showcases the best Tennessee has to offer. “It started as a gift box business, and then the store came later,” Landrum explained, noting that both elements remain pivotal to their identity.
With carefully curated pre-made and customizable gift boxes available year-round, Landrum reassured customers, “It’s never leaving. It’s going to always be a part of us.” Through Locals Only, they aim to support other Tennessee businesses by ensuring that their gift shop carries items sourced solely from within the state.

The recent recognition is expected to draw more customers to Locals Only. With enthusiasm in her voice, Landrum stated, “We should see an uptick from this. I would expect, especially representing the entire state.”
Already, they are seeing an increase in sales of their care packages. “Some days it’s one or two. Some days it’s 40, 50, 60,” she detailed, showing just how popular these items have become.
Highlighting Chattanooga’s Best
Among their various offerings, one particular box stands out, aptly named Chattanooga’s Greatest Hits. This special package showcases premier gifts and products from local brands, making it a must-have for both residents and visitors looking to take home a piece of Chattanooga.
The care packages range in price from $25 to $100, providing options for every budget. With a dozen different themes and selections, customers are sure to find something that meets their needs or makes for a thoughtful gift.
