I was sort of torn about this place because I don't see the need for a whole store dedicated to air…read moreplants, but having gone I get it now. First off, they're very nice people who work here and they should succeed in this world based only on that, but secondly, they're clever. Also the store itself is very fun, hip, and nice inside. When I went in they were having a free air plant day. You should say wow, they're giving away their product for free? how will they ever make money? well, the rainbow cupboard doesn't just sell air plants, they sell a lifestyle, by which I mean air plant accessories to post to insta. So now, free air plant in hand, was I just going to not spend any money on air plant accessories? that would've been impossible. So they managed to get me to go to a store and buy a thing I otherwise would have passed on just because half of it was free. When it comes down to it, I'm not even mad about it. Now I have a nice little simple air plant. Anyway, at the time of writing I think this is a great gift for a daughter of a certain age, but that may change depending on whatever is cool and I'm too old to really know, so good luck out there.

https://www.facebook.com/2024churchstreet/…read more Lee's Shops at Wagner Square is a family owned business, that has treasures for every taste. I've been several times and I've never left there empty handed. The staff is welcoming and willing to help if needed. The store's location is just minutes off the NYS Thruway - Canajoharie exit. There's literally something there for everyone on your shopping list, no matter how hard they are to shop for. Be sure to check out the kid's toy selection. They have toys there from my past (50+ something years), that brought back many great memories. You can share those experiences with your children & grandchildren. Great stocking stuffers for young & old alike. Lee's has collectables of all types, especially Charlie Bears. Teddy bears with a difference. Their quality & weight is surely felt with the first hug. Lucky recipients will cherish them for years to come. If you like to decorate for the holidays or seasonal, this store is for you. Lee's has many unique and hard-to-find items of interest. If anything, checkout the stores décor for great decorating tips. Quit often they have guest appearances by Santa Claus himself, Elves, Easter Bunny, local authors, etc..

Everything from handblown glass to funny socks to baby gifts and home decor. When I brought the framed art up to the cash register, the friendly staff took the extra effort to find its original packaging to wrap it up for me. Very much appreciated.

A really good friend suggested we go on a road trip to Boonsville. (I had a college buddy come…read morefrom that town so I was aware of the town.) So off we go. It is as the name says "Awesome." It is a small store with lots of country decor plus more. Tea towels, jars of sauces, jams, a dog section, indoor or outdoor decor and the list of what you can buy goes on. We chose the in-house deli for lunch. I was more than pleased with the choice. (I saw a gentleman's sandwich and decided from there.) The deli uses Boar's Head deli meats. I got the reuben which is put together a bit differently, but that difference is what made the sandwich. They toast the bread, warm the ingredients and then put the sammy together. No greasy mess of a sandwich falling apart. It was juicy, delicious and satisfying. My only complaint is that they do not offer chips or pickles as a side with the sandwich. You can buy a bag of chips, but no pickle. Small town. There's a refrigerator with beverages and take out meals. We had a grand 'ol time driving up and back. Saw the sites that we could see. Parking is OK for the size of the place. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They have smallish shopping carts, but it seemed like most people start their collection of goodies and leave them by the register. They also have a brunch on weekends. Give it a try, enjoy the shopping, enjoy a little something from the deli.

I always support small businesses, especially in a small town like Boonville, but this was one of…read morethe worst experiences I've ever seen with a business owner. The atmosphere feels extremely hostile if you're not part of her inner circle or if you don't have money to spend. Locals know how people are treated behind the scenes, which is why many of the customers seem to come from out of town. The owner has a reputation for tearing down other small businesses instead of supporting them, and constantly copies ideas from others rather than creating anything original. Competition clearly isn't handled professionally here. Beyond that, cleanliness was a major concern. I personally noticed signs of mice and roaches in the store, which made me very uncomfortable shopping there. Some products are nice, but many can be purchased directly from the original vendors instead. Small towns thrive when businesses support each other and treat people with respect. Unfortunately, that is not the experience here.
