Made in Omaha on Pacific Street is an absolute must if you're shopping local especially during the…read moreholidays. I stopped in while putting together Christmas boxes for my out-of-town family and was blown away by how easy they made it to shop small in one place. I was able to find all local products without hopping from store to store including honey, candles, baker's chocolate candies, magnets, t-shirts, and so many other amazing Nebraska-made items. Everything is thoughtfully curated, beautifully displayed, and genuinely high quality. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming, and it feels really good knowing that every purchase supports local makers and businesses. It's the perfect one-stop shop for gifts that actually feel meaningful and unique (not just filler items). If you're sending care packages, building gift boxes, or just want to support Omaha-made products, this place is a no-brainer. I'll absolutely be back not just for the holidays, but year-round.

You have to play the game at Bath & Body Works -- if you just walk in unprepared it will be…read moreoverpriced. If you keep track of your coupons and their sales, it's reasonable. Most of the scents are too sweet for my taste, but I love the Aromatherapy shower gels and foaming soaps. Every few weeks the prices are right and that's the time to strike. Yesterday I had a BOGO offer and wanted to get two shower gels. I had the offer on my phone, and when I got up to the counter I managed to lose the email and it was going to take a couple minutes to find it again (I'm not the most screen-adept user). The cashier saw what happened, and said "It will take forever to get that offer back with our signal. I'll just give it to you." Well done.

Because my wife loves all kinds of smells, soaps, mist sprays, lotions, etc., she always drags me to B&BW during mall visits, so I've slowly becoming accustomed to the nauseating lemon-hibiscus-mimosa-ocean-breeze scents that assault you upon entering. This is kind of huge for me because I can barley stand the candle aisle at Target. Beyond all that, the employees are pleasant although checkout is annoying, especially if there's a line. And definitely go for the sales -- there's always a sale.

Immediately, I was asked my favorite movie, food, and musician. I landed on Macintosh which is a lovely scent, and this is where we get to the fun part. She helped me print out a photo of the Josh Hutcherson Whistle video on the front of the candle without question. We were giggling the whole time. My friend and I both got free room sprays (which ALSO smell great) I love it there so much and my whistle baby candle will live in infamy. Thank you Yankee Candle.

I had the pleasure of being assisted by Elm when I visited Yankee Candle this week. She was…read moreabsolutely wonderful and I can not help but to mention her because she performed above and beyond my expectations. First she assisted me with finding the perfect gift for a coworker. Then, she pointed out the incredible sale (40% off), which encouraged me to load up on more candles for my personal stash. Additionally, she pointed out the amazing savings with the items in the back of the store that were 50% off. Finally at checkout, she registered me for more savings, gave me another coupon to use with my current purchase and loaded my email inbox with even more savings at my future visits. This all was an amazing experience because I love to feel that I'm saving money (LOL). I went in the store with the intentions to spend a certain amount but with her excellent sales skills I spent 4 times as much and I don't feel guilty because of the amazing savings that I got. Of course they have lots of great quality products and an incredible amount of inventory in store. But most of all the customer service was incredible. I will definitely be returning very soon to use my generous savings coupons that I revceived in my email inbox. I look forward to excellent customer experience along with amazing savings very soon.
