Nestled in the heart of South Highlands, Shreveport, Bon Lagniappe is a newly opened gift shop that offers carefully curated treasures with a touch of Southern charm.

Whether shopping for a friend or treating yourself, Bon Lagniappe is quickly becoming a must-visit destination in Shreveport’s growing retail scene.

A New Chapter Rooted in Giving

Founded in 2024, Bon Lagniappe is the realization of a long-held dream by Celia Carr, a former nurse with a deep passion for meaningful connections. After years of serving her community in healthcare, Celia wanted to create a space that would continue her commitment to care—this time through the art of giving. Drawing from Louisiana’s culture of creativity and hospitality, she designed the shop to celebrate handcrafted goods and thoughtfully sourced items.

Although Bon Lagniappe is still in its early days, Celia’s background suggests that community involvement will be a key focus in the future. Her nursing career has given her insight into the value of supporting others, and she looks forward to building relationships with local artisans and finding ways for the shop to give back to Shreveport.
