There's a great variety of plants, planty accessories, tarot cards/accessories, and clothing. I picked up a pair of Magic Flowers "plant ally talisman poetry cards," which are super cute. I'm going to keep a few at my work desk and a few on my night stand. My partner, our friend, and myself purchased a set of "Three Card Reading" deck which includes 3 surprise tarot card stickers.

I'm not a plant lover, but my friend is and really wanted to check it out, and I liked their unique look from the outside that made it different than the touristy spots all around Salem that I was getting a little sick of. I liked their selection of books and home decor. I loved a crystal tree they had and purchased it for a new display area I'm working on at home. I'd enjoyed my shopping experience so far and was excited about my purchase, but the staff member that rang me up was notably unfriendly. He ignored me for almost a full minute, continuing what looked like a craft project, before finally acknowledging me and directing me to the appropriate checkout station (he was standing squarely between two so I couldn't tell where to go). He ignored my polite attempts at small talk and seemed to rush the entire transaction so I would go away as soon as possible. I'd rate the store higher but was really off put by how I was treated, and other reviews note a similar attitude...I was starting to think I'd read into it, but this is clearly a trend. No employees greeted us or asked if we needed any help the entire time we browsed, in stark contrast to every other boutique I visited that day going above and beyond to make me feel welcome in their shop. Nice selection of items and pretty to look at, but be prepared for a dose of attitude.

They have cool stuff including cute clothes/bags/hats w/ fun prints,greeting cards that make you laugh,& even books! The vibe is full of Halloween fun! The staff are super nice & they act like they actually want to be there, which makes the experience even better. I ended up leaving w/ way more than I planned but honestly it's impossible not to. The prices weren't too bad which made it even harder not to buy something.If you're a fan of all things cute and Halloween-y this place is def the place for you!

The selection is incredible everything from adorable plushies to cutesy socks, unique gifts, & even seasonal treats. I was especially impressed by the variety. There's truly something for everyone! The prices are fair which is perfect b/c you will not leave out of here w/o purchasing something. I picked up a box of Olde Boston saltwater taffy (based out of Boston,Ma. Of course)for my nephew. He said it was the best salt water taffy he ever had. The staff was friendly,helpful,& very knowledgeable on their merch and where everything was located. If you're a fan of Halloween, novelty items, or just love discovering unique gifts, this shop is a must visit in Salem. It's charming, festive,& full of little treasures that make every visit memorable!

Surprisingly,…read morethere are quite a few shops that I popped in to with neither or some things that were a bit too kitschy for what I was wanting. Prices are a little expensive for what I am used to, but I like that they're a small business and locally owned.

I've cheated and gone to The depot to save money or home decor group in Swpt because it's closer, but never again. Recently I've redone three baths. First one I went to home decor group with a picture on my phone. Owner told me he can't match something on my phone and left me to find a similar swatch. Next two projects I went back to waters and brown. Heidi helped me match pictures and made spot on recommendations. I brought in samples and images and she gave great choices to match or coordinate. Then over to the counter for the actual paint. John couldn't be nicer and more helpful (plus he actually remembers me by name and project). Some projects easier than others. More complicated (expensive) projects he gave me questions to ask my contractor and alternatives. I so appreciate the service here. It's second to none and the quality can't be beat. They've earned my loyalty and I'll return the favor by encouraging anyone to go here first and last. This is how a customer centric business is run.

That being said, the space is TIGHT, so I would recommend limiting the number of people allowed inside at one time. It was so packed it made it a little difficult to actually take our time and look around. We were at the corner register and constantly getting bumped into while people were trying to shop. The variety is definitely a plus, but the prices were much higher than I expected. Some of the items felt pretty overpriced, $12 for one shot glass is insanity. Overall, it's worth checking out for the selection and unique finds, but be prepared for crowds and higher than expected prices.

It's in a small space but every inch is covered in coolness. I called to see if they had a philodendron. They said they would text me when they had some in. I can't think of many local businesses who would call or text someone back when something was in stock. The owners are very knowledgeable. I have a tendency to kill plants and they gave me useful advice for the welfare of the plant. It was a bit large and the owner (Eric I believe?) carried it to my car. Seriously what a class act.

I had fun browsing here and almost felt bad buying anything and taking it out of the shop since it all looked so good where it was! Someone please film a music video here or something. The jewelry designs at the counter were fun, but I wish they had more fine materials. I was considering some rings but ended up passing due to how bulky they were and them not being Sterling, but they had some good budget friendly options. This was one of the few shops downtown that had cosmetics and perfumes as well. It seemed they had some fun indie brands for beauty products, but I didn't get to check them out super closely. Great spot for home decor and personal care items, especially if you want to have a Gothic theme.

I don't think I've ever found the perfect shade of red and perfect smell for the gossip looks. I want until now. If I had more time (and budget), I would've looked at the jewelry and hair accessories. I will say that the prices were very high. I know that when it comes to Gothic culture and aesthetics, it's bound to cost a lot. I have my own thoughts about that as a whole and capitalism but now it's not really the time for that. I do acknowledge that a lot of the items in the store are from smaller businesses or meticulously made which is why I don't really have an issue with the prices. Just something to take a note of before you come here. Just to give an estimate, I bought five items (none bigger than the palm of my hand) and the total was close to $200. Overall, the people were amazing and I loved the atmosphere. I would love to return here and resupply myself with a lot more items.
