Sam's treated with dog treats and I am treated with coffee, and when she hosts her annual Spring Open Houses-- much more! A meatball bar, cheese, crackers, wine, exotic cocktail mixes, and more are there for customer's pickings as we shop around for all the spring things. I picked up a meaningful painting from an artist in Brooklyn! And, the first 10-20 people in receive a "goodie gift" on the way out. This year, it was a single tulip in a beautiful glass vase. - Loads of awesome items from local coffee + salts to jewelry, candles, home decor, stationery, and so much more! Every season offers new products. I look forward to the Christmas ornament selections every year! - Feeling a true sense of community, as neighbors. You'll love your visit, I'm confident, as much as I do every single time!

A super cute little gift shop located downtown, I popped in to look for cards and boy was that the…read moreright choice! Their cards have super modern sentiments from silly sarcasm to sweet sincerity or puns with simplistic but bold designs. I bought my mom a card called Anatomy of a Woman for Mother's Day and she LOVED IT. The card I gave my mom also had wildflowers in the paper itself that could be planted instead of (eventually) being thrown out. I was laughing at their other selections such as divorce party cards! Most of the cards are printed on recycled materials too. Aside from cards the shop carries a lot of hand crafted wood items, glassware, candles, some jewelry, and unique ornaments around the holidays. If you're looking for a "classy" gift I'd recommend Mixed Methods.

Such a cute shop! I love gift stores so I know if I lived in this area, I would come here often…read more I stopped by to look at what religious items they had before my nieces communion but didn't see anything great stuck out to me to purchase but I loved looking at everything. They had great party platters and fun napkins, mugs, wine glasses, cards, decorations for your home, purses, jewelry and more. I think their main seller is their Alex and Ani collection. I looked at their collection and they had some great items if you were looking to purchase a bracelet. The staff was super friendly. There were three people out on the floor working and all of them greeted me and let me know they can help me out if I needed it and when I said I didn't they left me alone and that was perfect. I will generally ask for help and I don't need someone to follow me around to help. The price points were all over the place which is awesome because it means more people can afford to shop here. There were some items in the $15 range and I some things near $100 so whatever you are looking to spend, there will be something here for you. Overall, I was very happy with my time in here even if I didn't buy anything this time around. I know that I will stop by when I am in town in the future and I will also suggest coming here to others.

Every item we carry in our gift shop is handpicked with our customers in mind. We strive to provide our loyal shoppers with something new, affordable, and distinctive. We find the beauty in artwork created by several talented local artists such as pottery, hand-painted black and white checked items, stained glass, knitted sweaters, hand-sewn home décor, and recycled/repurposed wood items. We work closely with them in much of their design to accommodate the needs of our customers and friends.

The shop is small, but it is decorated so cutely! Seriously stylish aesthetics. I especially love their flower wall, which they said they made themselves. There is a good selection of candles, many of which have sassy names like Cereal-ously Delicious and That's What She Said. I went with one called Momma's Kitchen, which smelled like warm cinnamon cookies. Candles were a bit on the pricey side compared to some other local makers, however I don't mind spending to support local for special occasions that require gifts every now and then. The staff was also very kind. Admittedly, a bit out of my range to buy regularly but a fine occasional splurge.

If you're looking for something other than the overly chemically scented, and often nauseating, fragrance from the shopping mall brands then this is the place for you. With tongue in cheek names like "Big D Energy" and "Material Girl" you're sure to find a scent that speaks to your personality. I purchased two large candles and some wax melts. The candles burn clean and even. And the scents are just divine! There's even a service to refill your glass once you're done with them! How cool is that?
