When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.

The associates are always very pleasant and helpful. They're great at making suggestions for items you could buy. They have a lot of stuff that have to do with St. Louis as well as a lot of other gifts from your kitchen to garden to Christmas ornaments and just about anything. Prices are about average, but if you are on their mailing list, they do send you out coupons occasionally.

Stopped in while we explored Webster Groves and decided to go into their little wine/alcohol shop…read more I was so impressed by their selection of beverages and their household items. We ended up getting a bottle of Molly Baz's wine which I have been looking for a while. We stopped into their clothing store and all their items were beautiful. We will be coming back to take another look. The service was great.

However, on the day I visited, I just wanted to change this up. Very well curated collection right as you walk in the door. The only reason I didn't end up with a huge pile of books from the first table was that I was limiting myself to 3 books max. Well, for the day anyway. Nicely organized and a joy to just walk around and look. Well worth the extra effort of getting around the construction to check them out.

We stumbled upon Mystic Village while exploring Maplewood looking for a new house and I am glad that we did. After being let in I immediately went exploring and felt this would be my new place. I was able to find several of the Tarot decks I have wanted to add to my collection. They also have a smoothie bar, a nice selection of herbs, statuary, crystals, and so many books. They had several beautiful singing bowls and large towers, columns, and cathedrals of Amethyst. A smaller selection of some clothes and bags. I cannot wait to go back and spend more time there.

I am officially filing a restraining order against myself, because I am completely obsessed with…read morethese candles!! Seriously, the scent fills the entire room within minutes of lighting it-it's so potent my living room thinks it lives at a luxury spa, yet it's subtle enough that it won't knock you out cold. It burns cleaner and more evenly than my life choices, with zero tunneling. And can we talk about Grace, the absolute mastermind and owner behind this wizardry? Not only is she an artisanal fragrance genius, but she is an angel walking among us-radiating a level of pure kindness that makes you want to bake her cookies and write poetry about her customer service. If you haven't bought from Urban Candle Company yet, what are you even doing with your life? I will definitely be purchasing this one again, trying out every other scent they make, and probably naming my future pets after Grace! 10/10!

I love being able to drop off old jars/glass dishes to have them filled with a new candle scent…read more There are some really nice jars that I have had for a few years and once the candle is finsihed buring, I bring them back to Urban Candle and choose a new scent to fill. The last time I dropped off about 4 or 5 to be filled and chose some really nice scents for the spring/summer. They fill candles once a month and once they are ready for pick up, a text will be sent out. I received the text while I was out of town, but I plan to stop by this weekend to pick my candles up and cannot wait to burn them over the weekend and over the next few weeks. The whole process is simple and the owner is super kind and helpful.

I didn't' realize they are a home goods and furniture resale, which I am not in need of. But I took a peek anyway lol. The store is very well organized and I liked how they had room setups together like bedroom versus dining area. They have a lot of nice accessories to decorate the rooms as well. All the items in the store were in excellent condition and most looked brand new even though they are resale. The pricing was upfront and they discount by age of the item. The staff was very friendly and told me about the store and how the consignment process works. I've added them to my list for when I am in need of home goods because I loved the variety and selection so much.

I will most certainly tell my friends this occured, NOT GREAT ADVERTISING. Customer satisfaction & word of mouth is the best way to get customers or get people Not to come.

It was crowded today, and it's tight quarters. The proprietors and clerks are friendly and engaging. I got an Olivella face and body bar of 100% virgin olive oil with anti-aging properties for $4 (buy 6, get one free) and a beautiful container of foaming bath gel ($5) looking like a Christmas tree ornament (and the shape of the container was of a tree), including a hook on the top, in orange color (and smelling of orange) -- both for our Thanksgiving hostess. There's a lot packed into this small store!
