Remember your Pigeon Forge vacation long after it’s over, thanks to these beautiful, tasty, and useful souvenirs. Treat yourself to the sweet memories they’ll spark!

1. Unique Appalachian Pottery

Handcrafted pottery is an Appalachian tradition, with colors evoking the shades of mountain greenery, rivers, and skies. Visit potteries to watch potters transform clay into beautiful, useful art. Take home your choice of bakeware, mugs, dishes, lanterns, bird feeders, and home decor.

2. Bear-Themed Anything

Adorable black bears are the Smokies’ beloved mascots. You’ll find souvenirs in every style, at every price, with bears cavorting across them! From gorgeous quilts and art figurines, to cartoon t-shirts and coffee mugs, these beloved critters are everywhere.

3. Knives You Forged Yourself

Take home a Pigeon Forge memory you make with your own hands. Forge a knife from a railroad spike, nail, rebar, or horseshoe at Iron Mountain Metal Craft or Circle Bar T Forge. Whenever you use it, you’ll think of your Smokies vacation!

4. A One-of-a-Kind Caricature

This keepsake inspires grins for years to come! Stop by Cosmic Pen and let their talented artists hand-draw a hilarious digital caricature of your family or group. Strike a pose in the studio, or give the artists a photo and swing by later to pick up the finished art.
