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.

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.

Eric and Robert are so fun and friendly, very no-BS guys who tell it to you straight. They made the class super fun and we were always laughing. Given the time of year, there were only 3 of us in class so it was nearly 1-on-1 instruction. I learned so much! I came back the next day to pick up my mirror and was stunned at how beautiful it came out! Y'all got me into a new hobby! Thank you for such an awesome class!

I stumbled upon Absolutely Outer Banks a handful of years ago and I was impressed with the selection of locally made arts and crafts. Ever since, this is my go to spot for legitimate and tasteful Outer Banks souvenirs. In addition to locally made items they also have some vintage items and even some new items for sale. One item that this store specializes in is really cool resin windows that are unique and exude happiness. Absolutely Outer Banks has artwork in all mediums and in all price points. They have jewelry, wood signs, candles, prints, glass work, textiles, metal work, etc.  On my most recent visit I enjoyed looking at a vintage pin ball machine and eyeing up the beautiful array of Fiestaware. There is plenty of opportunity for ooohhhing and ahhhing.  The owner is super friendly so that adds to the overall great experience. Absolutely Outer Banks is centrally located in Kitty Hawk in the former spot of a bank.

We were really excited to see this place open until 6 on Easter Sunday so we rushed over around 2pm to ensure we could walk around and browse. So glad we did! This store is choc-full of unique items, from local artist prints, gems, hand-made pottery, stationery, cards, jewelry, sculptures and art pieces made from repurposed items to garden decor. We can't wait to stop back by when we're in the area.

This is a GIFT SHOP for American muscle cars inside another gift shop…read more I was super disappointed that there were no cars you could take photos of except for the truck (that was blocked by another truck when were there ). When I looked on Google I was mistaken by the car show that they had last week thinking there was gonna be cool cars to look at. They have metal signs, t shirts and all sorts of cool stuff though. The clocks they had were amazing. And the other half of the shop has a bunch of super cute stuff that cater to the beachy theme/gift shop.

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. So here's hoping the evil overlords will see the numerous complaints and stop torturing defenceless hermit crabs.
