Statesboro’s Convention and Visitors Bureau is a one-stop shop for locally-made gifts courtesy of makers and bakers like these:

Kim’s Cheese Straws

Statesboro local Kim Kaiser set out to recreate a delectable childhood snack: her grandmother’s cheese wafers. She ended up with Kim’s Cheese Straws, her take on the uniquely flavored Southern delicacy that spread like wildfire among the Statesboro community. With her most popular flavors, Original Cheddar and Pecan Cheddar, available at the Visitors Center, Kim has perfected these cheesy delights for every palate. This “Homemade Southern Tradition” is one you don’t want to miss.

Flour Sack Towels

Adorn your kitchen with these towels boasting locally inspired designs of Statesboro and Georgia.

Braswell’s

Founded here in the ‘Boro, Braswell’s award-winning sauces, jellies, jams, dressings and marinades are a soul food staple. Over 75 years ago, Albert Braswell grew his renowned condiment business from his original warehouse in Statesboro to one of the leading Private Label manufacturers in the US. But you can still get his products right where they started when you stop by the Visitors Center.
