Handbags at Rivertown Garden & Gifts
If you want something a little sturdier to carry around your ID, credit cards, and other important items, then go for a handbag at Rivertown Garden & Gifts. Located in the heart of Rivertown Junction, this small shop has a huge selection of purses in every style. You can find clutches, satchels, frame bags, and much more in bright colors and designs. Once you find a handbag you like, you can pick out a wallet and keychain to match.
Souvenir Cup at The Dollywood Emporium
If you want low-cost drinks every time you come to the park, then treat yourself to the souvenir cup at The Dollywood Emporium on Showstreet. Not only does this cup looks great and keep drinks cool, but it also opens the door to cheap refills. Instead of paying up to $4 per drink, you can get a refill of soda for $1. And if you want to go all out with a frozen drink or hot beverage, it will only put you back $2. The deal is not just for that visit either. You can bring it back all season long to keep the refills coming without breaking the bank.
