Want To Be Like Garth and Trisha? Give These ‘Only in Louisiana’ Gifts
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood made headlines all over the US earlier this week when they sent a boatload of wedding gifts to a couple who came to their show at the Cajundome a couple of weeks ago. Newlyweds Jude and Jamie Blanchard received boxes and boxes of gifts from Garth and Trisha after they held up a sign during the Garth show that said 'Best week ever: Garth this Friday, our wedding next Friday.'
So I got to thinking, if I was going to send a bunch of wedding gifts that represented the great state of Louisiana, what would they be? My own personal list for a giant gift basket is below, but feel free to let me know what your favorite things would be.
- Season football tickets for UL Ragin Cajuns, LSU Tigers, and New Orleans Saints

- Music from Louisiana artists Harry Connick Jr., Tim McGraw, The Neville Brothers, and Grammy Award winning Zydeco artist Terrance Simien
