Deco Raleigh is located in Downtown Raleigh on Salisbury Street. The iconic neon sign caught my…read moreattention and drew me in after a walking tour of Raleigh. The store opened back in 2012 and moved to its current larger spot in 2018. At the time, it was the only place downtown to buy a card and a gift. The building was once the NC State Bar's headquarters. Parking is on the street or at a nearby garage, so it can be somewhat challenging. Did you know that Pam Blondin, the owner, campaigned and built Raleigh's first parklet, and she commissioned the city's first sidewalk mural? She is a true pioneer of downtown's public culture. Deco Raleigh is an upscale gift shop with curated gifts. I thought the store was a good size and bigger than it appeared from the street. But the aisles were a little narrow in places. The store carries work from over 100 North Carolinian artisans. Inside, there is pottery, artwork, jewelry, textiles, apparel, home decor, puzzles, books, cards, and other unique finds. The store carries the "Raleigh" and "North Carolina" themed items. You'll also find some gourmet food items. The custom wrapping station makes things so convenient. It is the ideal place to browse and find a thoughtful gift for someone, or just buy something for yourself. The store design is warm, welcoming, and a total visual treat to explore. I'll definitely be back!

Love this store! So much to see and so many unique brands and artists…read more We spent about 1/2 hour in Deco Raleigh, but could have stayed longer and spent a lot of money. Bought a clever dish towel from BlueQ, some magnets, bookmarks and some very unique gifts. Highly recommend!

We were trying to find a gift shop to help commemorate our trip to Raleigh. It turned out to be a…read moredifficult feat. I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

Amazing service and products!…read more Our company always gets gift baskets for our customers for Christmas. We've used a popular online company for years, but this year, they messed up our order and we had to scramble to find a plan B! After doing some research we found Gingham & Posh. We loved how we could design the gift boxes with the colors of our company logo. The staff was great to work with and finished our boxes in a great time frame, even with the Christmas rush! We ended up going with the NC boxes. We've received many compliments from our customers of how much they loved their gifts. We loved how we were supporting a local business with Gingham & Posh, as well as supporting the businesses represented within the boxes. We're so glad our Plan A didn't work out this year. From now on, Gingham & Posh will be our go to for gift baskets!

GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

The store is a bit pricey on most things but it's a local shop that supports local artists/businesses. I bought a bar of soap for $8 which isn't crazy considering most bars of soap go for that price. This really is a cute shop and it's perfect for finding special gifts.

What a great local gem!…read more We love supporting local businesses and this place has numerous local vendors - very similar to Cotton Company in downtown WF. A mix of antiques, signs, crafts, a lot of candles and a small bit of clothing. We bought a vintage magazine - fascinating to read about life in 1940. The lady who was working there was extremely helpful and friendly. There are a few buildings to go in - you'll find chalk painted furniture as well as paints, more antiques, local bbq sauces/T-shirt's, and more. Definitely a spot to grab a unique gift for someone! Prices were very reasonable, too! Conveniently located off Durant, right near the railroad tracks - a little hard to see as it's way back off the Durant but look for the big banner posted out front.

A group of us discovered this lovely store today while walking around the courtyard after brunch. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. I was amazed by the variety inside and just the options for that perfect gift or something for yourself, too. They had clothing, mementos, cards, games, books, home decor, jewelry, gourmet foods, journals, and so much more. They have a lot of items with quotes that I love, including one with Jim Valvano's message. They even have a gift-wrapping section to wrap your purchase. Whether you're shopping for a birthday or just want to treat yourself, this local gem is a must-visit in the Village. I will definitely be back!

Do you not really cook and yet want guests to compliment your 'cooking' when entertaining?…read more Be like me, and come here to pick up only the best curated cheeseball and cracker mixes, popcorn and nut mixes, and cocktail mixers...because no one needs to know how easy it was on you. Also they sometimes sample out a mean rum punch, y'all, and I want the recipe. Meanwhile, you end up browsing the plethora of goods, from floor to high ceiling, and your teen thanks you for her new buttery soft socks and you come home looking fabulous in a faux fur poncho you never knew you needed. They even carry oil paintings from local artists, one of which is now a delightful addition to our holiday decor. I also noticed a nice university gear section - we just have to figure out what side we're on. Whether you're for Pack, Heels, or Devils, there is a particularly posh selection of college gifts here. I like their people too. They'll hold all your stuff for you when you came for one thing but keep browsing and picking up more. The owner is like that classy auntie who's more fun than you and knows where to get all the good stuff, so you don't have to. And they gift wrap! Bottom line: This store makes me happy. Go visit and sample the spicy crackers.

Great shop with local goodies and items made by local artists…read more I had a lot of time to spend because my flight was delayed. This shop had the best items because they are made in North Carolina. I got snacks from NC and ceramics made by NC artists as souvenirs. The other shops carry things that says the city names but made in China. That's why I prefer this shop.

Root & Branch is located immediately at the bottom of the escalator after clearing security so it's hard to miss. All sorts of mementos oriented to the Raleigh and North Carolina area. Magnets, coffee mugs, tshirts, cute signs. But also other cups, candies, soaps, candles and other North Carolina food items. Prices are about what I would expect for an airport. If you've gotten this far and didn't manage to pick up something to remember your trip to the Triangle region, Root & Branch will help you out. [Review 12494 overall, 2284 of 2019.]

Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Raleigh (next to The Raleigh Times) this corner, spot that has turned over quite often over the years, seems to finally have a shop that is sticking.

But if he doesn't catch your interest, I know some of the diverse local art will! From jewelry, stickers, pins, clothing [t-shirts/sweatshirts], mugs...the list goes on. I've purchased items for myself and others at Munjo Munjo over the years. A great option for gifts or a little local Raleigh!
