GREENERFRIDAY HOLIDAY GIFT AWARDS 2026
MISSISSIPPI — THREE CANDIDATES

No winners have been selected. Public voting is separate from editorial evaluation.

A'marie's Bath Flower Shop — Mississippi Queen Magnolia
Solid soap petals made with coconut oil, shea butter and goat's milk come in a paper gift box, offering an alternative to bottled liquid soap.
State connection: A'marie's lists a Pearl, Mississippi address; Mississippi State's maker directory includes its soap flowers.
Considerations: The environmental case is its solid format, not an eco-certification. Contains fragrance and goat's milk; not vegan.
User evidence: A small number of business reviews praise the soap flowers, and lifestyle coverage highlights their appearance.
Scope: Soap-flower brand, not the Mississippi Queen Magnolia SKU.
Limitations: Sparse feedback and primarily decorative coverage do not establish performance or repeat demand. This may be an editorial discovery, not a proven favourite.

Scotsman USA — Ole Miss Limited Edition Serving Board
Gives reclaimed maple basketball-court flooring another use as a serving board.
State connection: Made in Laurel, Mississippi, using reclaimed University of Mississippi court wood.
Considerations: Limited-edition stock can change. Follow the maker's care and food-use instructions for the finished surfaces.
User evidence: Product provenance and university coverage are strong, but no meaningful owner review of the limited-edition serving board was located.
Scope: Exact board: provenance, not demand.
Limitations: Fundraising coverage and the maker’s celebrity profile are not evidence of customer satisfaction. Limited stock and university affiliation narrow gift fit.

Two Brooks Farm — Blue Jasmoon White Mississippi Jasmine Rice
The farm describes retaining rainwater in fields, lakes and canals and reusing it for irrigation.
State connection: Grown by a Mississippi Delta farm near Sumner.
Considerations: Water-management evidence is farm-level and self-reported; this rice is not presented as certified organic.
User evidence: An independent retailer hosts positive buyer feedback about Two Brooks rice, while food coverage discusses its culinary use.
Scope: Rice family; exact Blue Jasmoon attribution is not consistently available.
Limitations: No large independent sample. Do not conflate a same-name UK company’s reviews with this Mississippi farm.
