But it's definitely worth the stop especially if you've got young kids. We stopped in on one of the hottest days (96 degrees) to take a break from walking around in the heat. The owners are so helpful and friendly. They walked us through the whole process and helped us along the way when we needed extra hands. There's a cute play set in the corner of the shop where my girls played while they waited for their pieces to dry.

So I did a review already for The Black Orchid when my friend and I were here last summer. I came…read moreout here this summer, and when I checked in, somehow my review was gone so I'm posting another one. This shop is different than last year in a few ways and the same in others. It looks like it is either going out of business or having a hard time staying open. Almost everything is marked down for sale, including the store fixtures and shelving. A giant black shelf that was completely empty had a little sign that it's for sale for $100. The store was all about life in the woods, mountains and being a little creepy and on the edge last summer like having animal skulls, home decor, jewelry, etc. along those lines. Now it has tourist stuff like shot glasses and greeting cards. Not really anything unique. The awesome displays from last year were all gone. The only cool mountain living type display left was one small case with pocket knives. There wasn't anything that interested me or caught my eye. The two girls working were really involved in their personal stories and didn't talk to me, the only customer there walking around, when I walked in and until I left.

From the outside the Black Orchid appears to be a 'higher end' gift shop; however, they also sell highly inappropriate Christmas decor with explicit sexual content displayed at eye level for children to see. When I shared my concerns with the young ladies at the cash register, they did not care. I asked to speak with the manager/owner. Sadly, the owner didn't care either. I would have appreciated at least some semblance of concern. We purchased several gifts from the book store next store, which is awesome!!

Once I arrived home and opened the envelope, there was smudging on the coat of arms. I contacted the store and provided information and a picture of the smudging, requesting that they reprint the coat of arms and send it to us. The response from William was it would cost $20 plus $5 shipping and handling. This was very disappointing as they were the ones who packaged the coat of arms in the clear envelope that led to the smudging from the glue on the envelope. Poor customer service, I would've been happy to pay for the shipping and handling but they should've reprinted it for free! Would not purchase from them in the future.

Although it's moved and in that move it's now much smaller, it's still the same snarky store with a lot of the same funny stuff.

There are signs posted everywhere now that you aren't allowed to take pics inside the store so I took pics of what I bought after I left.

The staff are fantastic to work with, they help me find the elusive ones, they come up with ideas when I have vague ideas, and the personalizing is great. One year, I brought home my stash and found that one was broken. I called them and they immediately shipped another, personalized exactly as the first, so I had the complete set. Shipping only took a couple of days and wasn't expensive. Yes, this place is overloaded with Christmas items and yes it is a bit overpriced, but I can find everything I want in one place, every topic, very idea, every need. The atmosphere is totally Christmas, the staff are great and the ornaments cannot be found elsewhere most of the time. If you are a grumpy gus or a bah humbug kinda person, don't go there. You will find lots to complain about. But if you love Christmas in any sense of the holiday, come and take it all in. The commercialism, the spiritual, and music, the lights. Around the world is represented. It's a joyful time of the year, all year long.

What initially drew me in was the sweater selection. Coming from the Midwest (Chicago), I'm always on the hunt for a unique, well-made sweater, and Remedy absolutely delivered! Browsing the store is effortless--they organize their collections by color, with dedicated blue, pink, yellow, etc. sections, which makes shopping fun, easy and visually satisfying. Beyond apparel, Remedy offers a wide variety of home items, including décor, books, gadgets, ornaments, etc. They even had a selection of LABUBU ornaments figures in every color-- of course, we bought one! I ended up purchasing a sweater and have been loving it during Chicago's arctic-level cold these past few weeks. Remedy also rotates seasonal items, so no matter the time of year, it's well worth stopping in

When reaching for the door handle I said to my husband, "Get ready, I bet this place smells like my grandma's house." No. It smells like tide pods and dryer sheets. All of the clothes smell freshly laundered. How do they do it? I'm not sure, but about half of the store is clothing and they are all nice and clean, so they must sort through their items pretty intensely before putting them out for sale. The prices were decent, and while I didn't find any special treasures to take home, I would definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Leavenworth.

I have had them do this in the past and gave them my info. They called me back later the same day to say that they had a 'like new' used version of the game in stock, and said I could pick it up today. I said sure and dropped in later the same dayw. The used game as 90% of the price of the new - and I found it new online for the same price - but again, I want to support local, so I went ahead and purchased it. When I got home and opened the used game was not the same as a new game. It was an older version of it, without the updated ruleset, without changes to the board and pieces. It was significantly different and less refined. We recently visited some friends and played the newer version of the game, the version that inspired us to purchase the game, the version I thought I was buying. IT was so much better than the version I was sold. I was a local, loyal customer. I could have bought the game online for the same price. I chose them, and they let me down.
