I love shopping at A Southern Season when all the packaged gift baskets, chocolates and snacks are on clearance. I'll also go there if I'm headed out of town and want to bring some cute Tar Hell themed gifts.
They have great cooking classes available in the evenings. The two I've tried were fun, easy to follow, and I learned fabulous dishes that impressed my friends.
I have shopped for several kitchen items there, but always ended up buying from the little kitchen store in the same mall, next to Bear Rock. They are tiny, but have many of the same brands for about 15% cheaper, and often have good sales.
