I was so happy I did! I found more than what I needed, and a few extra things also! They have so much cute gifts for anyone & everyone (including a little masculine room & little room for kids). I definitely will be back to find gifts for people, and it feels good to support & shop small, local businesses! Great service, friendly owner- couldn't ask for more.

Oh boy - I'm in love…read more This shop is SO charming - literally everything about it. I have been meaning to stop in for months but I never think about it until I have somewhere else to be and am passing it on Bridge road! Make sure you're looking for it because if you are headed toward Carrollton away from Harbor View it is on the right side of the road but you have to turn off before you get to the bridge onto a little side street right by the Fireflies sign. It's a small gravel road that leads to the shop right by the water. It's so charming. There are about 7-8 parking spaces outside. Once you walk inside it's so cute - there are thousands of amazing little hand-crafted gems inside. You'll find jewelry, housewares, baby stuff, men's stuff, accessories, art, vases, etc. etc. etc. There is a small room off to the left with men-themed stuff like cooling after-shave stuff, ties, and a hundred other neat little goodies if you need a gift for one of the men in your life. In the next room I found more things like scarves, wine stuff, mermaid items and in the following room (with a view of the bridge and water) is a treasure trove of the cutest baby stuff I have ever seen. Like EVER. I need someone to get pregnant so I can go ransack the place. Stuffed animals, Faery doors, wall signs, piggy banks, male and female-themed items... you name it. I wanna buy it for someone. Haha. The main room has a bunch of beachy-themed things, some food stuffs, some pillows, wall decor, house decor, jewelry, globes and lights. I roamed around for an hour looking at everything twice and I still kept finding things I hadn't seen. The lady behind the counter was also really friendly and we made small-talk while she answered a few questions I had on two items I was really interested in but needed to size for my home. I also saw her helping another lady and she was very attentive and customer-service oriented. It's not huge inside - but it is well-done, tasteful, filled with beautiful treasures and good quality gifts and finds. This is going to be a staple for me when I have to find something for a special occasion like a birthday or for a good friend. I'm so glad I FINALLY remembered to stop in!

I believe the balloon brand is Orbz - HIGHLY recommend this brand if you're looking for something to last for a special occasion. Customer service was second to none, the owner was very nice and polite and ready to assist. The store is a little on the old side and could do with a make over inside - but there's still some great products on offer. It's not the cheapest, but as there isn't a Party City for miles, you're paying more for convenience than anything else. Costumes inside for rent, if that's your thing... definitely worth checking out if you're pressed for time and need some celebratory balloons ASAP.

We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented rentals team, Big Top Entertainment, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from Big Top Entertainment, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the beautiful set up that was completed by the Big Top Entertainment team! It's 52 days later and our guests haven't stopped raving about how beautiful the entire night was! The Big Top Entertainment team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the Big Top Entertainment team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer an email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They were also true champions to set up many different rentals (clear top tent, wrought iron cocktail hour tables and chairs, and our hanging chandelier to name a few) through an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! The Big Top Entertainment team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute "must haves" and even suggested some things we hadn't thought of. Working with the Big Top Entertainment team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding rentals! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking an extraordinary wedding rental service! - The Canavoses
