Our Story

Welcome to HighlandSide – Thoughtful Gifting Made Easy

 

My Mom and I started HighlandSide in October 1999! I was a flight attendant for Delta Airlines based in NYC, and I wanted to come back to Baton Rouge to be closer to my family. So HighlandSide was born! Located on the "side" of historic Highland Road. HighlandSide specializes in unique and personalized gifts and home decor. We have something for everyone! Thanks for supporting HighlandSide! We really appreciate it! 

Sincerely,

Shannan Everett
