This year, why not tackle your holiday list up here in the mountains? We have a delightful collection of one-of-a-kind stores where you can shop for everyone on your list. Below are a just few of the many options.
The town of Helen looks like old St. Nick himself would be roaming the streets, so what better place to head for shopping! At Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen, homemade goodies abound—rich almond butter toffee, cherries hand-dipped in chocolate, caramel pecan turtles and decadent truffles, just to mention a few.

Aromas of another sort can be found at Helen Souvenir and Candle Company, which offers locally made and hand-carved candles in a wide range of sizes. And if you want a custom candle, you can watch as they make it right here in the store.

Tim’s Wooden Toys is like Santa’s own workshop. Every toy in the store is made here, and the selection is awesome. Push and pull toys, trucks, trains, crossbows, and more, as well as art sets, and games. It’s hard not to feel like a kid again!
