Do not dare ask the lady at the counter for any help or any questions unless you want to be talked down to and shunned for bothering her. Tried several times thinking the help was just having a bad day and even tried the store in Robinson. Unfortunately I had the same experience at both. Never again will I shop here and I will be sure to tell anyone that asks how horrendous my multiple experiences at this store have been.

There is a charming little gift shop that recently opened in Crafton. Called "Blue Snail" gift shop…read moreafter a place in France that is known for snails and "blue" because the owner has sons this shop specializes in all US made and quality imported products. I got to interview the owner Jennifer who explained to me that pretty much everything is ordered from a wholesale company and she orders products that are well made. There's much to look at here. From baby gifts, children's and party gifts, pet gifts, scarves made in the UK, bracelets, necklaces in a bottle, cocktail gifts, soaps, bubble bath, candles, greeting cards, prints, soaps, you can practically find most anything you want here. With your purchase, gift wrapping is free. Jennifer is even offering homemade cookies as part of her opening week kickoff. She hopes to expand her business as she gets new ideas but it's a great spot to get something for any occasion or if you wish to indulge yourself. After much deciding I purchased an embroidered bat tea towel and a soap sponge holder to catch my soap bar drippings. The gift shop makes a welcome addition to the Crafton area and is located on E Crafton Ave near Sisters floral and Dancetime studios. Free time limited street parking is available.

You can find Brighton, Alex and Ani, clothing, jewelry for various charities and causes. I happened to stumble upon an Alex and Ani gingerbread man bangle. I learned that it was left over from Christmas and either the main store itself sold out of it or had to be returned since it was seasonal merchandise. I am always a fan of gingerbread men during the holidays and I saw part of the proceeds was supporting a backpack charity. I ended up buying it and plan to check out their other offerings in the future. I'm not sure as far as Vera Bradley is concerned since this mall does have a store of its own downstairs and Macy's also carries the line. But it is worth a look anyway. Helping needy causes is something I like to do and I'm glad to help out in any way I can. Definitely worth a visit.

The incredibly rude older sales ladies started to follow me and ask me repeatedly if I needed help. I wasn't picking things up, I was very disinterested in what was in the store, just walking on my phone. We were the only two people in the store for the 15 minutes we were there. After explaining twice I was just with my mom, that I was waiting for her to finish up. They kept hovering and watching my every move. (Pretty sure they thought I was stealing. Lol hard pass.) My mom got what she wanted and in checking out they didn't say have a nice day, no friendly chit chat, just handed her her bag and we left. Safe to say not going back.

It's the kind of place that immediately feels special -- warm lighting, thoughtfully curated items, and a vibe that's effortlessly charming. The owner was lovely -- super friendly, helpful without hovering, and so easy to talk to. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she carries and the people who walk through the door. Lots of beautiful pieces, including some unique European labels I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you're looking for a gift or just a little "treat yourself" moment, this spot is it. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

There are a ton of lovely gifts to get here for others or yourself. Many are imports from France or Italy. I wanted to get multiple candles, but left with one candle, one really nice shoulder bag (this is what drew me here in the first place, as I had seen it in the window and returned when they were open), and a lip balm ahead of the chilly winter weather that has arrived! I will say the prices here are a bit high, but everything here is of very high quality, and in comparison to the manufacturer or brand websites of the items I purchased, the prices were actually very close in comparison. It also always makes me feel good to support local businesses that are creating the flavor of the city we live in.

I had to remotely select and order a sympathy gift for someone in their local area, and have limited knowledge of houseplants, their meaning, etc. They walked through several expert recommendations with me from prayer plants to prosperity plants, helped me select a pot fitting the occasion and recipient's aesthetic. They also proactively offered to plant it for me, and deliver it to their door directly vs shipping or using a service. They asked if I had a letter to send them include, that they could design into a card to include with the order. They really went above and beyond and took any and all stress out of the process, while my mind was a million other places given the situation. Thank you Ruby Flora, for making this process so much easier on me and for delivering a quality sympathy gift on very short notice. It's clear you really care about your customers, in addition to being the area experts on houseplants.
