Fall in the South means one thing: football season—and we’re here for it. Whether you’re cheering from the stadium parking lot or hosting a watch party on the porch, there’s nothing quite like a Southern tailgate done right. It’s not just about the game—it’s about the style, the spread, and the good company.

At Nash Grey, we believe your tailgate should be as fabulous as your team spirit. Here’s your go-to guide for planning a stylish, cozy, and crowd-pleasing tailgate with Nash Grey favorites at the center.

🧺 1. Start with a Southern-Style Setup

Nash Grey Essentials:
   •   🎒 Canvas Utility Totes – Perfect for hauling everything from drinks to blankets.
   
Set up a folding table with one of our colorful throws, stack your snacks in pretty baskets, and add a vase of wildflowers to give it that effortless boutique charm.

🧢 2. Dress the Part (Cute but Comfy)

Tailgating isn’t the time to sacrifice comfort—but you can still turn heads in the parking lot.

Game Day Must-Haves:
   •   🧢 Graphic Trucker Hats – Team colors, sassy sayings, or your boutique’s logo? Yes, please.

Pro Tip: Offer mix-and-match displays in your store so customers can grab a full tailgate-ready outfit in one go!

🍹 3. Serve Up Southern Hospitality

Let’s talk tailgate refreshments.

Nash Grey Favorites:
   •   🍋 Insulated Tumblers & Can Coolers – Keep those sweet teas, cocktails, and seltzers chilled and cute.
   •   🍊 Signature Cocktail Tags – Pair your tumblers with fun drink name tags like “Spicy Southern Sipper” or “Tailgate ‘Tini.”
   •   🍑 Appetizer Picks & Napkins – We love pairing bold prints with your signature dips and finger foods!

Add a handwritten drink menu or cute chalkboard sign to pull it all together.

📸 4. Create a Photo-Worthy Moment

What’s a Southern tailgate without a few Instagram-worthy moments?

Photo Station Ideas:
   •   🎉 Custom Banner Garland – Spell out your team or a fun saying (“Tailgates & Touchdowns!”).
   •   🧡 Props Basket – Fill it with foam fingers, hats, or team-color

Pro tip: Set up an in-store tailgate and photo op!

🏈 5. Bundle It All Up

   •   A graphic tee
   •   Trucker hat
   •   Tumbler or can cooler
