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!

There were multiple rooms, all nicely decorated. Most focused on furniture, women's apparel, and gifts. Some rooms with products from other boutiques, one with bird baths and seed, and another with sale items. The employees seem to all be good friends and enjoy their job, which is refreshing to see. They host events, for instance, Christmas tree decorating. I think we arrived just after an event since they had drinks and snacks out. Overall, we enjoyed walking through this shop and recommend it to others!

I had a fantastic experience at Hunt & Gather. My friends and I decided, on a whim, to go check out…read morean antique store. We stumbled upon Hunt & Gather on Yelp and went. This store is pretty big inside; you would never know it by looking at it from outside. It is filled with treasures both big and small. Like any antique store (or like most), it is a bit crowded with items. Personally, I like that. You really are 'hunting' for treasures here. Yesterday I found this beautiful trinket on the floor of a booth...I would have never found it had I been in a rush. I highly recommend you take your time here. Google reviewers seem more critical of Hunt & Gather and its staff...but personally I had a very different experience. On Google, people wrote that staff was following them, being rude, and that this place was overpriced. Now...your mileage may vary...but I found the staff to be extremely kind. They would check in on me a couple times just to see if I needed help, but largely let me do my own hunting in peace. I think some items are certainly pricey and I can't quite understand why, but by and large I found the prices to be competitive. For example, you can get an entire Noritake china set (with 12 settings!) for $450. Anywhere else this could go easily for $700+. You can buy some dupes at HomeGoods for sure, but HomeGoods aint that cheap -- and I'd argue some of the pieces here are priced even more competitively than HomeGoods. I bought 3 chinoiserie vases/jars yesterday (at ~$30 a pop) and am soooo enamored by them. All in all, I'd recommend you swing by especially if you're furnishing, or refurnishing, your home. There are some really nice things here....and I think I may come by every now and then just to see what's in stock!

The cashier at the entryway stays focused on his phone, continuously scrolling without looking up. Considering this location and position of the cashier with the employee lack of attention this should be a safety concern, not just customer service. I didn't find a medium size non toxic Wok. I did find other non toxic pan options. At Home has a large selection here of everything your heart desires. I found the store to be well stocked and easy to shop as it wasn't crowded. The prices were reasonable for the items I purchased. I look forward to returning again. At checkout the individual at the front spoke and seems pleasant when I was leaving. This should be the approach when customers are arriving.

They have not been open long, but every time I have visited there have been other shoppers in the store. The lady who works there is extremely friendly and is remarkably laid-back about people bringing kids into the store (my advice: don't do it). I had a great time browsing their selection of scented soaps, candles, artwork, etc. and am trying to resist the temptation to go back and buy a really gorgeous decorative bowl for my bookshelf (at least until I recover from Christmas shopping).. but I'll probably cave when I have to drive by this place twice a day once school's back in session. The only complaint I would have is the hours- closing at 4 is really a bummer for people like me, who prefer to shop in the evening rather than the daytime!
