Startup Success 2015 Holiday List

This year Startup Success connected with dozens of New Orleans businesses and here are our picks for great Holiday Gifts, Events or services from this year’s features.

Holiday Treats

Holiday baking is a beloved pastime, but sometimes there isn’t enough time to perfect the perfect sweet.

If you’re looking for holiday treats that taste homemade, but don’t require you to break out your apron, look no further than these two Startup Successes.

For the health-conscious holiday reveler, Fare Food Apothecary has delicious paleo and vegan- friendly treats that are rich, satisfying and good for your body.

If you’re looking for a more traditional baked good, Donna Maloney’s The Sweet Spot at St. Roch Market will not disappoint. Their decadent cakes, cupcakes and cookies are favorites amongst St. Roch’s patrons, and they’re right near the florals for an added perk.

If sweets aren’t your thing, pick up a special bottle of wine for your holiday party, or Secret Santa at Brady’s Wine Warehouse. With renowned customer service, knowledgeable staff and a huge selection of wine to choose from, you’ll find it easy to bring the holiday cheer this year.

Hard to Buy For

For the person who has everything, Hattie Sparks in the new South Market District has a unique selection of home décor, clothing, and gifts from the best independent, southern, and local designers. You’re guaranteed to find something unique and special.

Something Sparkly

Jess Leigh Jewels was recently featured on the blog, and she has a lovely selection of hand-made jewelry for the lovely ladies in your life. Inspired out of her desire to create beauty and share it, Leigh’s collection offers lovely one-of-a-kind treasures. Be sure to visit her site soon as selection is limited.

Getting Gussied Up

If you’re looking for a subtle way to get beautified for those Holiday Events, look no further than Esthetician, Lauren Prats’ salon High Brow Beauty Bar! Lauren and her team offer eyebrow waxing, facial waxing and lash extensions.

Holiday Night on the Town

For the special someone who’s hard to buy for, a night on the town is often a perfect gift.

If you’re looking for a classy dinner, or holiday drinks, Kimble Donington-Smith and Dominique Macquet’s Savuer offers fine French Cuisine in a comfortable and fun dining atmosphere. Their new winter menu is being served during Dinner hours Monday to Saturday, with Happy Hour specials Monday to Saturday 5-7pm. They are also featuring Brunch served every Sunday from 10:30-2pm
