Last week, we asked you to share your favorite Southern gift basket ideas for a secret project we have been working on, and today we want to share the finished product! Huge thanks to all the amazing Southern companies who sent swag for the Mammoth Men gift bags that are waiting in New Orleans as we speak for the guys to pick up. (I have to admit: getting sweet treats in the mail from Paula Deen and Moonpies was definitely one of the highlights of our year, y’all!) Here’s a little sneak peek of what the Mammoth Men will find from the SW girls:
Our favorite items: custom XOELLE bowties made especially for the Mammoth Men (and coincidentally made in my home town of Pensacola), Paula Deen’s Butt Massage (think brisket, not behind), Kato’s Down South Hot Sauce for a little kick, LEGEND Deep South Hot and Spicy Barbecue Sauce, Cotton Pickin’ goat’s milk soap from Country Scents (although we’re not sure if the Mammoth Men get a chance to shower on these trips), Nascar and cammo t-shirts, Moonshine Cordials from Carolina Cupboard (“Liquid-Filled Chocolates With a Tar Heel Tang”), some mammoth Moonpies, a few ridiculously funny books (including Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit, The Redneck Dictionary, How To Speak Southern, The Deer Burger Cookbook), and a whole slew of fun surprises from our neighborhood Southern Mecca, Southern Season.
Pralines, peanuts and popping corn, oh my!
CONTEST: A trip to the Dirty South wouldn’t be complete without a Dirty South nickname. Our craft diva, Emily, tagged each bag with these fun name tags. My personal favorite is Michael Norwood’s new Southern name, “Michael Nor Bob”. (SW Tip: to make any name Southern, just add “Bob” to the end!) Here’s your chance to win your very own Mammoth Men Dirty South Swag Bag! Just leave a comment here with a NEW “Dirty South” nickname for one of the guys (or all of them). The best new name/s win! Contest ends Friday at midnight. Have fun y’all!
Thanks again to our ultra-generous sponsors. That Mammoth box weighed over 50lbs! Enjoy the Southern swag, gentlemen!
P.S. stay tuned to my Tweets all this week for daily Twitter-only giveaways!

Looks great – but time to bone up on the NASCAR, ladies ;-) The original #20, Tony Stewart, is from IN and the new #20, Joey Logano, is from CT… but NASCAR itself, is a glorious *southern* pastime! (Of course, I could be wrong, the bright orange 20 may not be Home Depot NASCAR swag, but it sure looks like it!)
Haha! The NASCAR T’s came straight from a Georgia gas station from Lara and Emily’s recent road trip, so we’re counting them ; ) Girl, you know your NASCAR!!
Add Cooter to the ends of their names, which is the last name of the greatest U of TN football player that never played: Jim Bob Cooter!
