GIFTING EXPERIENCES MONDAY, JUNE 1, 2026 When Brackish co-founder Ben Ross got married, he wanted to gift his groomsmen something a little more special than the standard money clip or monogrammed flask. An avid outdoorsman from Columbia, South Carolina, he dreamed up and crafted turkey feather bow ties for each of his buddies. They were such a hit that Ross and one of those groomsmen, Jeff Plotner, decided to market the ties. “It’s nice to be able to switch up traditional black-tie,” Plotner says, “but stay timeless.” The Brackish team will be onsite creating their latest pieces and will have a variety of items for guests to choose from.

After meeting in college, they set out on a creative path inspired by a simple belief: just like grandpa’s well‑worn luggage or dad’s trusted belt, every leather good should be crafted to last a lifetime.

Products come in a variety of color finishes. Let guests choose a personalized, embossed leather gift while hearing about the art of leather-making in the south. Option to have logo embossed beforehand.

GIFTING EXPERIENCES MONDAY, JUNE 1, 2026

Sweetgrass Basket making came to South Carolina in the 17th century by way of West African people who were brought to the area to work on plantations.

Using a type of marsh grass known as bulrush, basket makers coiled sturdy intricate work baskets called fanners that were used for a variety of daily tasks. Today sweetgrass baskets are a unique and signature craft of the Lowcountry, and a skill passed down over generations.

Baskets are made to order, each one uniquely crafted by hand. Low‑profile styles with side handles are recommended so guests can easily repack their basket for travel. Pictured below are suggested basket sizes, though each can be customized to suit your needs.

These baskets can also be offered as a thoughtful room‑drop amenity, filled with curated Charleston favorites—such as benne wafers, local pralines, artisanal popcorn, or small‑batch snacks from beloved Lowcountry makers. It’s a warm, personal welcome that gives guests an immediate taste of Charleston’s charm and craftsmanship.

Indigo Workshop: Indigo has been central to South Carolina's history since it was first introduced to the then-colony 1744. Over the remainder of the 18th century, indigo would take second only to rice among South Carolina’s most valuable exports. The vibrant blue colorant yielded by the indigo plant was in high demand for the British textile industry, and American growers shipped over one million pounds of indigo to England just before the American Revolution. Thousands – perhaps tens of thousands – of laborers were responsible for the crop’s cultivation and production during this period. Today, the cultural nod to this history and population is visible along this region’s Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage.
