Charleston Scene has produced a helpful trio of lists for the lovers of local things in your lives.

On the menu are lists of:

- Offerings like tickets to the Wine + Food Festival or art classes at Bottles 'n Brushes; read that here.

- Local food items from businesses like Giddy Goat Cheese (just don't stuff it in a stocking), Charleston Coffee Roasters, and Christophe Artisan Chocolatier; read that list here.

- A few local shops and an intro the local movement; read that here.

In fact, over the last several weeks the entertainment paper had put together a nice guide to interesting local businesses in each section of metro Charleston; get connected here.

Read Charlie had also produced their own suggestions of local gifts to give ranging from a "Deluxe Meat Basket" to a "Ambre Babzoe Jacket;" read that here.

And for a couple of my own personal suggestions of some great local gifts, you could stuff a stocking with a Buy Local Card for $20 that'll net the card holder some discounts at local shops, or, how about a set a of links to great local Charleston content? Give 'em the gift of a bookmark to http://TheDigitel.com  -- Yeah, I couldn't resist.
