This is such a fun spot in La Encantada! I love their variety of gifts, focus on community and fun pop up events. I've enjoyed their cards and stickers especially, they have some great and unique desert themed ones that just make things feel more personalized when sending. They also offer a huge selection of local made products and vendors, from candles to local salts/chocolates/popcorn/treats to hand towels and home goods. I've purchased from Creative Kind and also started frequenting some of the local vendors they carry too because Ive loved their products so much! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming too. So glad this shop is here! read more

Let me introduce you to the cutest store at La Encantada. They have the cutest accessories a girl could ask for. I purchased a blue hat with a super cute desert design. I get so many compliments on it! They even sell clay polymer earrings which are my favorite especially from Sigfus! They now have a location in Phoenix. This place is great if you're in search of a gift for someone or just want to treat yo' self. read more

Creative Kind - The cutest hat ever! They used to have it in a burnt orange color as well. - Cards & Stationery Near Me

I love Creative Kind! They have an amazing selection of local, curated items and offer super fun workshops. This is my first stop when gift shopping, regardless of the occasion, because there is something great for everyone in this store. I also love that they host pop up markets in the space and invite in other makers. I've discovered some great new products and artists here and always have the best time at workshops (I didn't take pictures, but the cocktail, charcuterie and dried flower arrangement one has been my favorite.) They also offer private events, which I've stumbled upon a few times and always seem lovely. Hilari has the best taste and is always so friendly when I stop in. It's been lovely getting to know her and see this shop grow and thrive over the past few years. read more

This very trendy boutique shop is a stand out for me in the higher end La Encantada Mall. I am always impressed at their craft, locally sourced products and impeccable display. Part apothecary, part card shop, and all parts creative this is quite the one stop shop. I have purchased craft cocktail syrups, local salts, and even seed pops here. The seed pops were my favorite Christmas gift find. Think different groups of herb or flower seeds on a stick... ready to pop in a pot or in the ground! The stir fry with its thai basil, garlic chives, and pak choi was a hit with my family and I will be back after the holiday to pick up a few for me and emergency gifting. I just learned about their online workshop subscription called Creative Kind Circle (during their Yelp Tucson Instagram take over) and I really must applaud their creativity even suring this difficult time. Also having previously attended their live classes pre-covid I highly recommend this as a last minute gift to the creative folks on your Christmas List! read more

What a breath of fresh air in such an expensive and for me at least, unaffordable shopping mall. I like to window shop but this little shop is so cute and inviting I always have to go in to see what new local and Arizona themed treasures they have. It's not just stickers and journals (which, are to die for!) but also postcards, kitchen items (unique mixers like prickly pear!), and art projects to starts. There are so many options for inexpensive but cute AZ gifts. If I did Christmas stockings I would load up on goodies here! There is something for everyone whether something for you or a gift for a lucky individual. On a final note they also do custom gift boxes for all occasions and all different types of people (think chefs, artists, kids.. etc). read more

Shopping experience was A+ - adorable merch, pleasant atmosphere, friendly but not overbearing shopkeeper. The workshop was exactly what I hoped, and then some. Organized, supplies were plentiful and ample, fellow participants were fun, and Hilari is a great instructor. Great value! I'm excited to return for more. When we scream #shoplocal, this is the epitome. Thanks for being here! read more

Creative Kind - Fall wreath workshop - Cards & Stationery Near Me

This review update is way over due! Creative Kind (formerly, Creative Tribe) is still as amazing as ever! This business has undergone so many transformations, it's so inspiring. Ownership remains the same. It was started by Theresa deLaney and over the years she now has an equally badass business partner, Hilary Ross. Even though they are located at the La Encantada shopping center, they are a locally owned business. They started out by hosting pop-ups at various local businesses, eventually moving into their first space in for town Tucson before making the big move to La Encantada. Their shop is packed with so many goodies made by local artists and other women owned brands from across the country. Creative Kind is a place to also gather for creative workshops that range from macrame to water coloring, hand lettering and do much more. They also launched a new membership site called CK Circle, where you can enjoy prerecorded workshops at your own pace but also connect with other members. It's a great concept and super affordable! I also love their customized boxes. They come in different price ranges and themes. They also ship nationwide!, if you haven't been to Creative Kind I highly encourage you to stop in or checkout their website. They are such a special duo and they literally pour their hearts and soul into their business. They support countless artists and makers through their platform. It's amazing! Shop local and support women owned! read more

So I decided to randomly give wall art a chance since they had yarn and all of the materials, and I had time in my hands. They did great and advising what kind of materials I could use, and even teaching me some knitting technics for my project. They were so sweet and complimented my work! It was also a super relaxing environment, with plenty of light and plants, very boho (because of the crafting, of course). I felt like I could sit on their couch and craft forever, and I'm not even a fan of crafting! I ended up with a cool piece of art for my room that I got to make myself, for a great price ($25). I encourage everyone to go in and try out something! Get the creative juices flowing read more

Creative Kind - Got to make some yarn art with Teresa's instructions! - Cards & Stationery Near Me

This shop is the number one reason I go to La Encantada. Such a cool concept that supports local makers and artists year round, giving them a platform other than the markets every few months. We stopped by for a watercolor workshop with a local artist, Cactus Clouds Art, and LOVED it. So cool to see them incorporating local artisans into teaching their classes, absolutely interested to see what events they come up next. They also have an awesome card and print selection that make perfect gifts any time of year. read more

Love going to Creative Kind in La Encantada to find gifts for just about any occasion. They have a really great selection of stationary goods, self-care, stickers, personal accessories, and home decor. I suggest getting on their email list to be aware of any discounts or crafting events they have coming up. We've been to many of their workshops and have had a blast meeting new people and artists. The only hard part about shopping here is trying to stop myself from getting more things than were originally on my list! read more

Great venue to craft and meet new fellow crafters! Great owners- great lesson on water color and great fun! read more

Creative Kind - Watercolor workshop! - Cards & Stationery Near Me

I absolutely love this shop! I love their workshops, their drop in crafting, and all the cute things in their store. If you have a chance to stop in, definitely do it! Their new location is in such a great spot in La Encantada. Their classes are always informative and fun- I took a watercolor class and it was a lot of fun! Their drop in crafting is really cool- you just pick a project and get materials and directions, and can do this whenever they're open! It's a great and unique activity to do with friends. Some of these projects are so unique, like painting an Arizona state cut out or making a macrame wall hanging. You'll love the unique and locally made items- I always find something unique I have to have! read more

I could browse this shop for hours! It's bright and airy with beautiful displays and great music. I always, ALWAYS, miss out on local artisan markets for one reason or another, so this is my go-to spot for supporting Arizona's amazing local creators. I also feel like the markups are fair, so I was able to get nearly all of my girlfriends' holiday gifts here, as well as a few things for myself :) read more

This is one of my favorite places at La Encantada. I love the curated selection of local artwork. They've got prints, pins, stickers, journals, and other cute local finds. This is a good place to buy holiday gifts for your girlfriends! I've attended a workshop they do once a month for kids. I brought my 2-year old daughter for crafts. Hilarie was great in instructing the class on how to make a pine cone turkey. They provided water, Apple juice, animal crackers, and popcorn for refreshments. My daughter had a great time and we're hoping to make it out to more workshops! read more

Creative Tribe is my go-to for all things Tucson-created! In their retail store, you can find products crafted by the local artists. From magnets to stationary, you can take a little bit of the Sonoran desert with you wherever you go! During their workshops, they partner up with local mixologists, florists, chefs, painters, etc. to help you create something to take home with you! The best part is this is a great environment to meet and befriend other women who share similar hobbies and interests as you. If you haven't checked out Creative Tribe yet, do so now!! read more

We are finally back to promoting our business at conferences and trade shows and I wanted to offer somthing different at our booth instead of the ususal swag. Our customers include museums, universities and historical societies, and they love the AZ/western items like the green cacti notepads, the small AZ scented candles, the cactus key chains and of course the Stickers!!! Thanks Creative Kind for making our small biz stand out generating lots of buzz at the conferences! read more

Love this crafting workshop space, they lead all kinds of hands on creative events, from watercolor classes to calligraphy, embroidering and ceramics. With a beautifully designed boutique space that offers the cutest stationery, greeting cards, stickers and gifts. I even scored a great new cuff bracelet with hand printed cactus imprint. It's an all ladies owned business to boot. I greatly enjoyed and highly recommend. read more

I took one of their online watercolor classes a few months back and the experience was quite enjoyable.

Such a gem here in Tucson! I went is before they moved to their new location and was amazed with how many options they had for purchase.

The cutest place in Tucson! It's my go-to shop for local goods, stationary, and little gifts. They also do drop in crafting with embroidery, painting, and fiber art that you can do anytime they are open. If that wasn't enough, they do guided workshops with hand lettering, watercolor, and a ton of other crafts. read more

Such an awesome versatile spot! Great pieces from local artists and excellent selection paper goods! Everything cute and desert you could possibly imagine. A perfect place to get a gift for an out of towner or desert lover. We did a team retreat there for an open craft and we had such a great time. The craft was guided but still left room for creativity. The shop has an super cute vibe and is the perfect place to get some girls together and have an awesome get together everyone can enjoy. Book ahead or drop in when they are open and do a craft! read more

We hosted a baby shower at Creative Tribe in December 2017. I live out of town, so most of the planning had to be done from afar. Gabby was very helpful and professional, and she was easy to reach and communicate with. On the day of, we loved that the space was bright and white, and Gabby was onsite to help us, if we needed it. Creative Tribe is a great value, and it was a pleasure to work with them! read more
