This place receives donations to where teachers or other school staff can come here to shop and it is no cost. The schools typically pay for the employees memberships to go here. There are times you come here and you may hit the jackpot and then sometimes there may not be items that you are looking for. The volunteers that work here are always friendly and are willing to answer any questions and help you out.

What an amazing organization. Teachers' Treasures is a store where Marion County teachers/educators…read morecan shop for supplies that they need for their classrooms, or supplies that the children in their classes need. Best of all: All of these items are provided to the teachers for free. The things that teachers can shop for range from backpacks to pencils, binders to STEM books, Lysol wipes to poster board. All of those things that teachers sometimes tend to pay for out of their own pockets -- they are given in abundance here for free. I love this place so much. If you're a teacher, you can sign up to shop at the Teachers' Treasures website. Then, you visit during your designated time, grab a shopping cart and get the supplies you need. Teachers' Treasures is only open on certain days and at certain times, so you need to make a reservation in order to visit. If you are looking for a volunteering opportunity, Teachers' Treasures is always looking for volunteers to help stock shelves, unload products from pallets and assist teachers as they shop. This wonderful organization relies on volunteer efforts.

The staff is friendly, and while it's been a while since my last visit, I do know that they had a pretty impressive selection of Christian books, church supplies and educational materials. They've recently expanded and have added much more in the gift area, so I will have to stop back by for some holiday shopping and see how they compare to the larger chains in the industry!

The Whispering Shelf features a fabulous assortment of stationery/ cards, gifts, books with handwritten recommendations (always a sucker for these little personal touches from a bookstore) and an expensive children's section. I was especially enamored by the children's section and display. There were several interactive elements to keep kids busy while you peruse the shelves (smart!). They offer a variety of events throughout the month for book clubs, storytime and more. Can't wait for more future visits and to do our Christmas shopping here!

Parking is usually available since it sits back off of Rockville Road (behind Burger King) in the strip center. The store is filled with a large amount of gift items or items you personally might enjoy. They have all the typical Hallmark holiday decor intermixed with other brands. Right now they are filled with Valentine and Easter items. I'm here for a sympathy card and they have a decent selection. It's always difficult selecting a sympathy card as what can you say to comfort your family or friend. Hopefully a card will let them know you're thinking of them. Items range from holiday items, stuffed animals, sports themed gifts, home decor, collectibles, gift bags, wrapping paper and so much more. I enjoy browsing the store for new arrivals. I find stocking stuffers, future birthday and anniversary cards and gifts often plus much more. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Stop in and browse the store.

The lady that worked in there checked on us to see if we needed anything and was nice. They had some books as well but he was 4 and not really interested in them.

I appreciate that some sections were annotated for the appropriate age groups (good idea to check as the safety ratings are there for a reason!). I thought I was done combing the entire store, but then I noticed a small play area in the very back that had even more stuff to look at. A word of caution I would leave your little ones at home or have a discussion with them before going into the store about expectations...Otherwise you'll might end up buying a lot of stuff! I thought things were reasonably priced though. The entire place was super cute and I'll definitely return.
