I was given a gift card to this place by a good friend. I had never heard of this store, but my…read morefriend knows me well because when I entered last week, I was so happy to see all the different items made by people all around the world. I was able to talk with the manager (or maybe owner) and she told me they work with 400 cooperatives in 59 countries across the world. The first time I went, I didn't buy anything because there were so many different things and I wanted more time to really look at everything. There were household goods, instruments, shoes, blankets, jewelry, art, and so much more. Prices range from low to high, but all are fairly priced to help promote economic development in the countries that send the goods. The second time I went, I took my husband with me. He settled on a Gourd Shaker made in Peru and I purchased earrings made in Kenya. While we were there, we saw a djembe that we will probably go back and get. I highly suggest you stop by. You'll probably find several things you like! Oh, this place is great for finding unique gifts. I'll be a repeat customer.

I have been to this store twice before at the Five Points location. I really dig this newer…read morelocation. More space which means more awesome goodies. Fair Trade is how Sojourns operates. Some items will be more expensive than other places which use child labour, sweatshops, or forced labour. I am happy to spend more and purchase a few quality items rather than a ton of cheap things made by grossly underpaid people overseas. The atmosphere is nice. The owner and employees are great. It is easy to get around the store as it is not cluttered. I also ordered a backpack when I got home. Wished I had bought it that day I was there. However, there is online ordering and I got this in a day as I am in Montgomery area. Look forward to returning. Hare Krishna!!!

I have never left a review for anything in my life, however my experience at this store was so…read moreamazing I had to do it. As soon as I walked in the lady at the front came to assist me. I told her it was my wife and my anniversary and I needed something bronze and some form of pottery. They didn't have bronze but they had copper which is close enough she showed me around the whole store and gave her opinions and what she thought would be a good gift. The younger lady then showed me some of her art which was greeting cards and stuff so I bought one of hers too. Excellent service and great local art and souvenirs. Highly recommend.

I saw a lot of cute stuff. Prices varied. I am a sucker for a koozie and a coffee mug! Sooooo of course, I had to have the Birmingham koozie and coffee mug! Felt like a true tourist in my own city. It was GREAT!!! I highly recommend Alabama Goods if you are looking for all things Alabama for you or for someone else! Great service & great inventory to select from.

Though they do carry some expensive things, I'm always amazed when I pick up something, expecting it to be pricey (because it's so lovely), and see that it's just $10 or $15. There's truly something for everyone on your list at any amount you want to spend. The store is big and beautiful with very creative displays. I always enjoy shopping there even if I'm not looking for a gift. It's definitely worth the trip even if you're not visiting the gardens.

Ferns are great plants they take minimal care and maintenance and have so many variaties. So too with the Japanese maples. I guess I like low maintenance plants. I saw for the first time lemon, lime, and orange trees. Impulse almost got the better of me. But I have made a decision to return and pick up some blueberry bushes.

If I could eat an actual establishment, it would be this one…read more Just look at this place. I literally walked in and audibly gasped. It is like a magical French bakery/general store, tucked away like a secret garden. Am I in south France or Birmingham? HARD TO TELL I don't know if I enjoyed the treats more or all the visual delights. The treats were just amazing. I brought my husband and all of my kids so we got a nice sampling of goodies from the cases. It was all perfection. Cookies were crispy on the edges, appropriately soft in the middle. The almond cake was buttery and sweet, but not too sweet. Muffins were excellent. The food is so well done. The ambiance here? Extraordinary. Every corner, every ceiling tile, every display has been so thoughtfully curated. This place was such a treat for my eyes and my imagination. I could sit for hours and just enjoy all the clever ways furniture is used. My kids played in the little play area- even that was done so beautifully! The store had such a wide selection of cute tea towels and little gifts. If you want to surprise someone with a beautiful little happy, or birthday gift, or Mother's Day gift, there's plenty to choose from here! I rarely buy things from little stores like this, but I purchased several gifts for girlfriends and my mom and an apron for myself. It's easy to get caught up!

I was looking for a place to grab some lunch but didn't want a drive thru/fast food experience…read more This location was very close to my location and the reviews looked great! It's such a unique place with it being both a restaurant as well as a shop. It's got a very nostalgic feel to it with the decor and items for sale. I saw a couple students but when I visited I mostly saw upper class looking Caucasian ladies. Being very laid back, down to earth and often times socially awkward, I admit that it felt a little hoity toity, while also being a very welcoming spot. It's hard to explain, so you'll have to check it out for yourself. Also worth noting for the plus size community: the chairs are not plus size friendly. (See zoomed in photo) The employees there were on top of their jobs and super helpful. They cleaned up the tables that emptied quickly, as the lunch crowd trickled in. The food was good. I loved the creative presentation of the sampler plate! The pimento cheese was very cold and hard to spread but I still it. The toast triangles were delicious! While they offer a lot of excellent coffee choices. I only got a 1/2 & 1/2 tea. Even the restroom was really neat with the retro decor. I'd definitely go back.

Walking into Wrapsody in Trussville honestly felt less like shopping and more like being taken care…read moreof by people who truly love what they do. I went in hoping to find something special for a friend's birthday... and walked out completely blown away by the experience. Mary Ellen, Cayleigh, and their team didn't just help me pick out gifts -- they made the entire process feel thoughtful and personal. They listened, offered the sweetest suggestions, and somehow turned what could have been a quick errand into one of the most enjoyable shopping trips I've had in a long time. Their kindness felt genuine, their excitement was contagious, and their attention to detail was incredible. What surprised me most was how invested they were in helping me make someone else feel celebrated. That level of care is rare and says so much about the heart behind this store. It's not just a place to shop -- it's a place that reminds you how meaningful great customer service and genuine human connection can be. I left with the perfect gifts and an even better impression. I can't recommend them enough and already can't wait to go back. I highly recommend!! Amazing value and selections for all!!
