The exterior of the building is nicely maintained and upon walking in the store I was totally mesmerized at all of the stuff to look at. They have tons of yard flags and other cute little knock knacks to stick in the garden. They also carry a variety of OBX souvenirs, Christmas ornaments and other knick knacks. The store has almost a rural, southern, country side general store feeling to it. They have some cute displays and the staff is very friendly.

This is a two stores in one building with a wall separating them.

Now guys store number two located at door number 2 is for the guys. What I mean by this it's a SPORTS SHOP WITH EVERY TEAM! Yeaaa I had to go caps cause it was a paradise for the sport fanatic out there, from college to the majors ! One bad thing that I was not happy to see was Dallas Cowboys paraphernalia located next to my Eagles gear, and the stinkin Mets near the Phightins (that's Phillies for those who don't know) When I mean everything , I mean EVERYTHING from Nascar fanatics, to "Bling" for your vehicle representing your team. For the fathers to be this is your shot to get your little girl or boy their first bib with the your team. Football gnomes, decals.. I can go on and on. I didn't want to leave, because every isle I went down I stopped and said "NO SH*T" they have this, or WOW I need to get that.. A man cave turned into a store for you to splurge. Great stuff, the mans personal fan zone! Ohh and did I say EVERYTHING related to sports! yea I did. I will be coming back here again when come back down to OBX for our next vacation. Go in and and become a kid again, you will thank me.

This is a really cute little bookstore we found while exploring Kitty Hawk on our recent trip. It's…read morerare to find these days! The kids and I picked out a few things for our beach reading. The store itself is REALLY cramped - very crowded. I kept knocking into shelves and stuff. Kind of wish there were more spaces to sit and browse, relax, read - it's more of a get what you want and get out kind of vibe. Plus, I found it kind of hard to find things I was looking for. Several authors I follow I couldn't find in their sections. Maybe they have a different niche than what I'm typically drawn to - but there was a nice selection of books in the kids section including a decent showing in teen fiction. Staff was super friendly. Oh, and there was no bathroom. Part of why we had to leave is my little one needed to go, so we had to cut our browsing time short.

Although not the biggest store I personally think they had a decent selection of clothing. Even had jewelry, drink ware, knick knacks, toys, and a few more random things. Side note! So fun fact... I'm grossed out by stickers. I went to parrots bay and framers daughter earlier in the week (which btw are the same place, like they sell thee EXACT same thing and I mean everything is the same) but I digress; they put a white sizing sticker on EVERYTHING!!! hated it and didn't buy anything because it grossed me out. While Grays did have size stickers on some of their shirts I'd say probably about 50% or more didn't have a sticker. Therefore, I absolutely loved this store! And ended up spending way too much money in there Lastly, I believe it's locally owned! 10 out of 10 loved this store.

Last June, on our anniversary, my hubby and I slipped down to the beach and stopped in, it's been over 50 years now. We bought six items of clothing, and I'm super pleased with all of them. The sweats for me (lovely willow color with a zippered crop top) look great on me, they're soft and wash well. I've worn the black cropped knit sweater many times, it really dresses me up. The hubster got three sweat shirts, and they all fit REALLY well. Not too snug, not too baggy. They look good, feel good, and wash well. We've planned a little day trip to the coast to add more of these quality clothes to our wardrobe.

BUT, if you need a quality hoodie because the temps just dropped without warning, a canvas tote bag for the beach because you left your boat bag at home, a swimsuit because your strap just snapped, or a gazillion souvenirs to take back to your houses inter, etc. - this is your go-to. The prices are mostly fair, and you can go high or low, depending on your situation. And yes, everyone hates that hermit crabs are kept in filthy tanks for clueless tourists to buy - many of which are no longer even alive. It's cruel and grotesque in this day and age.

I live in California and searched for a florist who would deliver to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This order was special to us because it was a sympathy arrangement and we wanted to convey our sincerest sympathy while providing some cheer. I didn't know exactly what type of arrangement or colors I wanted, but I took a chance by ordering a Designer's Choice Premium Sympathy floral arrangement. I ordered online last night in California time and it was delivered this morning to the Outer Banks! Our recipient sent a photo of the beautiful arrangement and it was far beyond our expectations. Gorgeous flower selections with a beautiful uplifting & subtle color combination, all arranged with style & skill. Again, I am so happy and grateful to have found and selected Anderson's Florist.
