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 goodie 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.
- 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.
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 🙂
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 be the perfect nod to Tennessee Whiskey, very Nashville!
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
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
Temporary Tattoos
Head to Etsy to find some temporary Nashville tattoos. Here are some pretty gold Nash Bash tattoos.
Hangover Kits
Prepare hangover kits with essentials like
- Fiji or electrolyte bottles of water
- Pain relievers
- Hydration multiplier such as liquid IV to help recover after a night of dancing and singing their way through Nashville.
- Pepto Bismol
Self-Care Items
Help your friends relax, unwind and take care of themselves during the girls trip. You could include
- 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
- Face masks – you could all put one on before getting ready for a night out dancing.
- Shower Bombs
- Aromatherapy candy with cute little match jars
- Makeup remover towelettes
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!
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.
