A Gift Guide Featuring TW’s Favorite Small Businesses
The holidays are about connection & celebrating the people, places, and moments that make life a little more beautiful. This season, we’re highlighting some of our favorite local businesses right here in our community.
These are the people we call friends, partners, and neighbors. The ones who bring creativity, comfort, and heart into everything they do. Whether you’re shopping for gifts, treating yourself, or simply exploring local gems, here’s a list of Traci’s Local Loves worth supporting this holiday season (and all year long!).
Alicia with Southern Lights Candles
Locally poured and full of heart, Alicia’s candles bring the warm glow of Southern charm into every space. Whether you love cozy, clean, or festive scents, Southern Lights Candles turn any moment into a vibe.
She even created a signature scent for TW Salon, and it’s as dreamy as it sounds.
Alicen with Rise + Grind
They’re not just serving specialty lattes and loaded teas; they’re pouring love into the entire parish.
Alicen and her team bring good vibes and great coffee wherever they go, and every visit feels like a mini celebration. We’re lucky enough to have them park at TW regularly, and we adore their mission to lift up local businesses.
Katie with Honeydoux Café + Bakery
More than a bakery, it’s an experience. Katie’s creations are as beautiful as they are delicious, from cakes that wow at our salon celebrations to lunches that keep our team happy and fueled.
Every detail, every bite, every event she creates is full of charm and heart. If you haven’t tried Honeydoux yet, trust us – you’re missing out!
Quincy – Golden Esthetics
Quincy offers results-driven skincare that still feels luxurious and grounding. From infused microneedling and dermaplaning (a TW favorite!) to her newest addition – teeth whitening. Every service is customized to help you feel radiant in your own skin.
Her space is relaxing, welcoming, and full of good energy, just like her.
Hannah with Cajun Comfort, Inc.
Keeping cool in Louisiana heat isn’t easy, but Cajun Comfort makes it effortless. This family-owned HVAC company is known for quick response times, friendly service, and genuine community care.
We’ve had them out to the salon more than once, and they always deliver — fast, professional, and kind.
Michelle with Miche Designs & Gifts
Michelle brings creativity to life with custom décor, personalized gifts, and statement pieces that make any space feel special. She’s also the artist behind our iconic TW Salon cut-out sign; it captures our vibe perfectly.
From seasonal items to one-of-a-kind keepsakes, her work is full of charm and heart.
Maddie with Kaye Esthetics
Maddie creates the kind of facials you dream about — relaxing, intentional, and glow-inducing. Her gentle, knowledgeable approach puts you at ease instantly, and her studio feels as welcoming as she is.
It’s the perfect stop for anyone seeking calm, care, and confidence.
Katie with Daisy Duke Tees
Fun, feel-good fashion that shows off your personality! Katie’s screen-printed tees are cute, comfy, and full of flair — from seasonal designs to custom collections.
Many of us at the salon wear her pieces, and we’re obsessed with the soft fabrics and flattering fits. They make perfect gifts for friends, family, and anyone who loves a little local pride.
Nola Bee – Awareness Jammies
We’re all obsessed with these buttery-soft bamboo pajamas! Nola Bee creates hand-painted prints inspired by real pediatric patients, transforming their stories into colorful, meaningful designs that raise awareness and spark connection.
A gift that feels good and does good — we love everything about this mission.
Linx’d with Love by Jordan Elise (Permanent Jewelry)
Timeless, meaningful, and built to last—Jordan’s custom-welded jewelry is as strong as the connections it represents.
Using hypoallergenic, waterproof stainless steel, she creates permanent bracelets, anklets, and keepsakes that tell your story. A beautiful way to celebrate friendship, love, or new beginnings.
🎁 Support Local, Shop Small, Spread Love
These incredible businesses prove our community is full of talent, passion, and purpose.
Whether you’re shopping for the perfect gift or planning a little self-care moment, remember: every local purchase makes a difference.
