My sister and I had a day to spend in Champaign so decided to walk around town. The front counter…read morelady at our hotel recommended this store and I'm so glad she did. The store is cute and unique. All items made in there come from impoverished parts of the world. My sister and I both got some socks and I got some earrings for myself and a hacky sack for my friend's son. It was great chatting with the employee there and learning about the different areas the products were from.

It is a cute little store with very unique items. With the infrequency of my visits, the stock changes quite a bit. Over the years I have collected good looking table items and found exotic gifts for people. Yesterday I bought two stupendous greeting cards just because I liked them. All of this would be enough but the business model is fair trade items to benefit areas and peoples of the world which traditionally are not paid a fair wage for their labor. As a result the prices are fairly high. I like the idea of paying people a wage they deserve and getting quality, hand crafted merchandise that are more one of a kind. Cool stuff and helping the world be a cooler place, two thumbs up!

I visited this location for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more The store was packed with people. When we first arrived, the check-out line wrapped around the checkout area and all the way down one of the main aisles of the store. Even with 4 cashiers busting their tails. Should I have visited on a Saturday? No. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I thought this HG had a great selection. I didn't visit all of the departments, though, because I came in for very specific items. Plus, it's hard to maneuver around carts and large groups of people throughout a store that has a lot of inventory. Our cashier was super friendly and I'll definitely come back.

Every isle is in near perfect shape and there isn't anything laying on the floor or stuffed into random holes. It's clean, organized, plenty of options and some great deals to be had... the staff seems invested in their jobs. Everyone seems bright faced and happy to serve. I was in this store multiple times over the holidays and this store hands down had the best staff along with best presentation of product and cleanliness. I try to compliment every worker I see there to tell them what a great job they are doing. Goodman's & Michaels are sloppy messes with very tired merchandise. Been the same old thing for years. Even Hobby Lobby seems to be a disappointment with their dates product along with broken, dented or scratched merchandise. Their customer service is great so I keep going there. Their picture, flower arrangements seem dated too. My first go to store is now Home Goods. Check it out you won't be disappointed. The Home Goods in Chicago and Normal were the pits and I swore I'd never go back but I am glad I did.

Most of the plants are really healthy, and they have a fantastic selection of butterworts, all reasonably priced! Their moss collection is also pretty impressive. The big windows in the store give it a cozy vibe, especially during the early morning hours--it's a perfect spot to relax and browse the plants. Plus, the street offers free parking on the weekends, which is a nice bonus! Overall, I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. It's definitely worth a visit!
