It's weird bc before I even started this review, it had on here that I had started the review and…read moreonly gave this place 3 stars. I hadn't started anything and sure as hell didn't give it just 3 stars! That being said, let us begin! Downtown Burlington! What a very unique, wonderful little area. Full of restaurants, name brand stores, bars, quaint little shops like this one, a wide open area lined with stores that gives off very Ithaca Commons vibes. The Commons back in the day were the shiiiiiiiit! Sadly nowadays...it's too commercialized. Burlington, VT tho...not so much. Sure they have a Patagonia store and some other bougie ass stores, but it still has that super chill vibe which made me happy. One bad thing...LOTS of homeless! LOTS! I get they are homeless, but wow! For a tiny city like Burlington...it's kinda mind blowing how many homeless they have all over the downtown area. Does that take away some of the magic that is..Burlington? Sure! Maybe a little! Then you come across adorable little stores like Home & Garden Vermont. What a (and I never use this word .. like ever lol but..) what a charming little store. Little bit of everything in there. It's the type of store that tourists absolutely love. Even the high prices don't seem to phase most tourists...then there is me haha! I'm cheap af. So appreciating these types of stores is more my cup of tea lol. Although, I came close to buying a few things in these little stores. My brother and I would see something and be like "let's check the others to see if the prices are any cheaper" They. were, not. Haha! If you saw a very cool Stowe or Burlington t-shirt in one store for $33 ... best beweave..it's $33 in the next one. These stores make their money regardless of cheap fks like myself...and I'm glad they do, Stores like Home & Garden Vermont add so much of that amazing magic that is felt throughout the downtown area. The staff is beyond sweet. Very nice lady helped us when we were there. Very bubbly, smiley, just an incredibly nice human. I did go up to her tho and told her that her store gave off Schitts Creek vibes. Yall remember, Rose Apothecary?? For some reason, parts of this store very much made me think of Patrick and David in their little Schitts Creek shop haha. The employee laughed and she said "all we need is David and we'd be set" haha! Rose Apothecary, now that I think of it...a lot of the stores around downtown are quaint like that. However, Home & Garden, I actually felt like it was like..a sister store of Rose Apothecary haha! I loved when David and Patrick opened that store in that series. I love love stores like that. So it was kind of special to walk in to this store and immediately feel that. Even my brother agreed. So I know I'm not like crazy haha. Store is very nice. Nicely laid out. They pay close attention to details in Home & Garden Vermont. They know exactly where to place everything for maximum exposure. Their front windows are even very homey to look at for the "window shoppers" What a great little shop. This was my first time ever in Vermont. I grew up in upstate New York, too! I know this will not be my first and last time in Vermont. Autumn on the east coast is something that is like no other. As a photographer, VT is like a dream come true during Autumn. Point of me saying that is...I know I will be back and I look forward to going to this little store again and all the others around the downtown area. Seeing as my family is still in upstate NY, yeah, I know I'll be back. Home and Gardrn VT...thank you for a very pleasant experience. You certainly will never be forgotten. Thank you to the employee(s) for being so friendly. When they say "shop local" This is a FANTASTIC store to do that at! Doesn't have to just be for tourists! I hope I didn't leave anything out! Go and have a look! You'll love it! Thanks for reading, YelpHomies & YelpGardeners!! Cheers!

The store is very clean and tidy. There were plenty of staff in the store keeping things in place, helping customers with questions and also do the checkouts. We bought some greeting cards, stickers and a kid's story book from the store. Prices were decent for all the items. The checkout process was quick and easy.

The prices are excellent, and the crystals, many rare, are the finest quality I've found in North America.

I appreciate everything at this store and couldn't stop browsing each item. I stopped in with my boyfriend while strolling around Church Street and I'm so glad we did. We were drawn in by an outdoor display of plants, one of which was a little turtle fern thing that was super cute. Trinket has jewlery, cards, home decor items, lots of gift ideas, and really something for everyone. I ended up only buying a couple cards for souvenirs and those curly telephone cord hair ties, but I could've spent way more money on so many fun things! I especially loved their art prints, cards, pins, and jewelry. Trinket reminded me of a boutique I visited in Jackson Hole, WY and I definitely will be stopping in again when I'm back to Burlington. Check out Trinket if you need a special gift for someone (or yourself)!

Fun little shop where you are likely to find tasteful, fun and unexpected gifts for a friend (or…read moreyourself). I like to visit every few months and see what's new. Not your typical Vermont store, this is akin to a little shop you might find in Brooklyn. It's a small space but they pack a lot of variety onto the shelves.

I had a glass syrup jar 2 boxes with necklaces. So she didn't put them in a bag so I had to ask for one. Then she literally put the bag on the counter-no words. As I had a glass jar which is very breakable, I had to ask her for the paper to wrap it. No words said to me again but she put the paper down on the counter. As it wasn't enough paper, I had to ask again for more paper. Again, no words were spoken to me. I felt as if I was in the twilight zone & was really bothering her for shopping there.
