Looking for a stylish stopover to cross some items off your holiday shopping list? Greenwood makes a delightful destination for finding that perfect gift, with no shortage of local merchants to visit. Plus, buying locally makes the gift-giving season all the sweeter, because the money you’re spending goes right back into the community.
Founded over twenty-five years ago, The Mississippi Gift Company takes "MS made" to new heights as a one-stop shop specializing solely in products made in the Magnolia State. The company offers a catalog of over 750 items handcrafted by dozens of Mississippi entrepreneurs, artists, and gourmet food businesses. Now one of the largest e-commerce businesses in the state, the company's retail center is located in downtown Greenwood.
At The Delta Boutique and Gifts, you'll find curated clothing, local art, custom gifts and home goods, and jewelry. See them in person on Howard Street, or follow the shop’s Facebook page to be the first to know about new product arrivals. Peruse The Melon Patch in downtown Greenwood for chic accessories, thoughtful gifts, personalized stationery, and more.
You can't leave Greenwood without a visit to TurnRow Book Co. to pick up a new read for the bookworm or literary lover in your life. Founded in 2006, the independent bookstore operates as a de facto community center for the town, hosting author readings, live music events, and art exhibits throughout the year. Reflected in the store’s merchandise is a distinct pride in their home state and town: books by Mississippi authors, books about blues music and Greenwood and even the art gallery upstairs; featuring various places and spaces in the state. Designed with the grandeur of Dublin's Trinity College Library in mind, best-selling author and Parnassus Books co-owner Ann Patchett called TurnRow "one of the most beautiful bookstores I know" in The New York Times. In an age of Amazon and e-readers, TurnRow is a good old-fashioned bookstore, perfect for getting lost among the aisles and stumbling upon new favorites that you couldn't have found from a search bar.
Downtown and all around, Greenwood's storefronts are brimming with haute home decor, one-of-a-kind artisan wares unique to Mississippi, and books galore. A directory and map of the merchants throughout town can be found here.
