Best Sellers in New Orleans, Louisiana By Christy Lorio

Plum

Plum is a delightfully fun store that carries “cool stuff for stylish living.” Kitschy kitchen items, including cocktail shakers that look like spray paint cans, can be bought here. Cards, journals, and jewelry also sell well.

New Orleans’ famous product, the Surprise Ball, is a best seller at Plum. The crepe paper ball unwinds to reveal fun prizes, confetti, and a fortune tucked inside.

T-shirts from Chris Reams, jewelry designs by Heather Elizabeth and Mark Garcie are some of the more popular locally designed items. Big times of the year for Plum are Mardi Gras, Mother’s Day, and Christmas.
