Are you planning a Nashville girls trip and want to put together the perfect goodie bag for your gal pals? I love to surprise mine with a little gift upon arrival. Goodie bags make your girls feel the love and set the tone for a fun and friendship filled trip.
If you’re wondering what to put in a Nashville girls trip welcome bag, I’ve got you covered. You can include practical items for use on the trip, souvenir keepsakes, self care items, the list goes on. In this post I’ll share a list of ideas to inspire the perfect gift for your gals to kick off your weekend in Music City. These ideas are also perfect for putting in bachelorette goodie bags as well as Nashville wedding welcome bag fillers.
Nashville Goodie Bag Stuffers:
Taste of Nashville Items
Eating your way through Nashville will make anyone crave Nashville food once they return home. Here are just a few ways for your girls to bring that taste home:
- Nashville Hot Chicken Seasoning: After sampling some of Nashville’s famous hot chicken, your friends will be able to recreate the taste at home with this seasoning.
- Goo Goo Clusters – These might be on every Nashville themed gift list for four good reasons: chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and marshmallow nougat, yum!
- Loveless Cafe biscuit mix and/or jam – Loveless Cafe is a Nashville favorite. Their biscuits and jam are to die for.
- Colts Bolts from Colts Chocolates – Colts Bolts are made of chocolate, peanut butter and whole almonds.
Girls Trip Hats
These hats are the perfect accessory for fun group photos. After the trip, they will be a nostalgic reminder of all the fun you had together. Keep them alive by posting yourself wearing them in your post-trip group chats.
Mini Champagne Bottles:
Include mini bottles of champagne or Prosecco to kick off the celebrating time away with friends. Top them with mini cowboy hats for some Honky Tonk flair.
Champagne Tumblers
Provide each member of your squad with a chic champagne tumbler to sip their bubbly in style while exploring Nashville. You could go the extra mile and customize them with names by breaking out your Cricut or ordering some name stickers on Etsy.
I am loving my Brumate tumbler which fits two glasses of champagne. I included one in my most recent Nashville gift bag and they were well received 🙂
Cowgirl Themed Wine Tumblers
Other Cute Cowgirl Cups
Glass cups are a little more tricky to travel with but these glasses are trendy and so cute. Another less expensive and less breakable option would be disco ball cowgirl cups. You could even add little names to the hats to personalize.
Cowboy Boot Drink Pouches
There are all types of cocktail and mocktail recipes you can mix up on your trip. What cuter way to serve them up than these cowgirl drink pouches.
Nashville Themed Straw Toppers and Straws
For your friends who have Stanley cups or other similar tumblers back at home, cowgirl hat straw toppers are inexpensive and will be a fun reminder of your Nashville trip. Alternatively, just adding festive Nashville themed straws to the gift bags will add some cowgirl flair to your girl’s trip drinks.
Mini Liquor Bottles with Mini Cowboy Hats
Add a fun and festive touch to your goodie bags with mini liquor bottles topped with adorable mini cowboy hats. If your girls like Jack Daniels, that would add the perfect nod to Tennessee Whiskey, so very Nashville!
Cowboy Boot Shot Glasses
Buying a set of cute cowboy boot shot glasses will definitely be less expensive than wine or champagne tumblers if you are trying to keep your gift bags at a lower price point. Here are a few fun options:
Matching Sunglasses
Nothing adds to girls trip group photos like matching sunnies! Here are a few cute options to include in your Nash weekend giftbags. I think Dolly would approve!
You could take them up a notch by adding names to them with these friendship bracelet letter beads.
Matching Cowgirl Hats and Glasses
These sets would be perfect for photo opps with your girls, even if you just wear them back at your airbnb to get everyone in the Nashville spirit.
Hangover Kits
Prepare hangover kits with essentials like
- Fiji or electrolyte bottles of water
- Pain relievers
- Hydration multiplier such as Waterboy Weekend Recovery or Liquid IV to help recover after a night of dancing and singing their way through Nashville.
- Here are some cute bags for your hangover kits:
Cowgirl Themed Earrings:
How fun will it be to wear these cute earrings while exploring Nashville? Bonus, cowboy boots and all things cowgirl are trending now, so your girls can totally wear them once they’re back home. Here are a few cute options:
Nashville Cowgirl Pajamas:
Even if you don’t include them in your gifts, you could order a set for yourself to wear on the trip. Here are a few cute sets:
Nashville-themed Souvenirs:
Consider including Nashville-themed items that either say Nashville or include music notes, guitars, cowboy boots, country music. Items such as:
- T-shirts
- Keychains
- Magnets
- Mugs
- Travel mugs
- Shot glasses
Temporary Tattoos
You and your girls can get temporarily tatted up with some cute temporary tattoos. Here is a link to some pretty gold Nash Bash tattoos on Etsy. Some more options on Amazon:
Signature Scent
You know how scents instantly take you back to a time or place or moment? Why not set everyone up with a way to be “taken back” to your Nashville girl’s trip with a signature scent. Pick up a bottle of a new trending perfume scent or body spray. Split it up into these cute purse-size atomizers.
Each of your ladies can use it during the trip to smell amazing. Then when they take it home, they have a reminder of your trip every time they spray it.
Self-Care Items
Help your friends relax, unwind and take care of themselves during the girls trip. You could include:
- These Cowgirl Makeup Erasers are so on theme:
- A spa headband and wristband set is a cute yet useful self care gift
- Uncommon James eye masks – if they love them, they can restock when you visit the flagship store in Nashville
- Stress relief herbal tea. One of my favorites is Yogi Kava Stress Relief Tea
- The TikTok trending Sungboon Face masks – you could all put one on before going to bed at night. Would also make for a funny photo opp!
- Aromatherapy candle with the CUTEST cowboy boot match holders:
Gourmet Snacks or Treats:
If you’re like me and love to make homemade gifts in the kitchen, you could mix something up yourself. If that’s not your jam, you can save time by picking something up at a local gourmet store or bakery.
Some good snack options for the weekend are:
- Salted caramels
- Fudge
- Cookies
- Caramel Popcorn
- Chex Mix
- Candied pecans or spiced candied pecans
- Chocolate covered pretzels
- Biscotti
- Chocolate covered peanut butter Ritz crackers
Nashville Gift Bag
Now that you’ve gathered all your gifts, it’s time to package them up. Here are a few gift bag ideas from Amazon:
Create Your Own Giftbag
I love the minimalist look of these DIY Nashville gift bags. To create this look yourself, start with a basic brown paper gift bag. Once you’ve filled your bag with all those Nashville goodies, add some pretty tissue paper.
Next, attach mini cowboy hats to kraft gift tags using glue dots or hot glue. Handwrite their names using a white paint pen. Now you have the perfect Nashville themed gift tags. Attach them to your gift bags and they are ready!
Cosmetic Bag
Consider putting all your goodies into a Nashville themed cosmetic bag. Here are a few cute options:
Enjoy your Nashville trip!
I hope this list inspired ideas for you to curate the perfect gift for your gals. With any of these items in your Nashville girls trip welcome bags, you’ll be all set for an unforgettable start to your time in Music City.
Get ready to make unforgettable memories with your besties in Nashville!
Side note: These items would also work great for Nashville wedding welcome bag fillers.
