One of our awesome guest from Finland wanted to know where he could purchase some gifts to bring home for friends and family. So we created this list and decided to post and share with our other Midtown Atlanta Airbnb visitors:
Here are a few recommendations for places to get Atlanta souvenirs:
1. Citizen Supply (located in Ponce City Market) - they have clothing, shoes, and knick knacks and more from local Georgia artist. It's a nice store. You'll also love walking around Ponce City Market - it's a very nice new shopping plaza. The store is located on the very top floor at the end.
// Address: 675 Ponce De Leon Ave, Suite NW 208, Atlanta, GA 30308 //
(about a 40 minute walk / 12 minute drive).
2. The High Museum of Art Gift Shop - you don’t have to buy a ticket to get access to the gift shops which has a lot of beautiful things based on the art and a few Atlanta specific things as well.
// Address: 1280 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 //
(about a 8 minute walk / 3 minute drive).
3. The Airport - they actually have alot of good shops with Atlanta stuff just in case you run out of time. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. 4. Lenox Mall / Phipps Plaza - Lenox Mall is our main mall in Atlanta full of all the main retail brands and stores for adults and kids. Phipps Plaza is another mall across from it that has luxury stores.
// Address: 3393 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326 //
(18 minute drive, 12 minute train ride).
5. Atlantic Station - this is our nearest mall, very close by... it's about an 20 minute walk, 7 minute drive, there's a shuttle at Arts Center Station that takes you right to it. They have many stores you can buy things from plus a Target and Ikea :-).
// Address: 1380 Atlantic Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30363 //
(20 minute walk, 7 minute drive)
BONUS:
Sprouts Farmers Market - if you're looking for edible items like Georgia made honey, preserves, chocolate, or just general locally sourced Georgia produced foods visit our nearby Sprouts store. If you go to the very back section of the store, near the yogurt and kefir milk there's a section of Atlanta, Georgia goods. There is also Georgia made items spread throughout the store.

(35 minute walk, 7 minute drive) EXTRA CREDIT:
Georgia Tech Barnes & Noble Book Store - located in Tech Square, a 15 minute walk away, trolley ride, or 5 minute drive. You can get lots of Georgia Tech gear here and some awesome Atlanta things too! // 48 5th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308 //
Underground Atlanta - If
you're in the mood to old school it, or "thug" it Underground Atlanta
used to be the classic place to get all the best Atlanta gear from hats
to keychains to custom necklaces and airbrushed t-shirts. I haven't
trekked down there since I was a kid in the 90s... I take that back I went
once in the mid 00s to get a custom necklace, lol, but that was 10 years ago... so I'm not sure how things are currently. However
if you're in the mood to explore, give it a go... have fun :-). // 50 Upper Alabama St #007, Atlanta, GA 30303 //
CNN
Center/World of Coke/Aquarium - I'm sure there are a few spots to get
souvenirs in our most touristy area. The CNN Center should have some
goods. //190 Marietta St, Atlanta, GA 30303 //
GAS
Stations - if you're on a road trip then stop in at some of the gas
stations along the way. You'd be surprised at the awesome state gear
some gas stations have.
