Lots of gifts always come from here for the folks on my list.

They bring in a product, such as the Laundry line, and you get used to using it, it convenient to go into the store and pick up what you need. It gives you the chance not only to smell new scents in the line but also to look at other products in the store! Well now they have decided to only sell the Laundry line online where you not only can't check out the scents but now you have to pay shipping and handling!!!! Well I guess I will go back to regular old grocery store brands that I don't have to pay the extra for and forgo the yummy smells. Save money, yes!!!

A quick scramble with Siri lead me to to Trapp and Co where I met Sarah. She was quick to understand both my predicament and help me create an arrangement that was FAR superior to my original one (for a heck of a lot less than I paid another florist). Valentine's Day can often mean a dozen roses and a box of chocolates. At 5:45 PM though, Sarah took the time to ask me about the type of arrangement I would ideally want and crafted this amazing piece. I loved it, my valentine loved it, and we both catch ourselves smiling each time we move past it. Thank you for all your help and we look forward to shopping with you again soon!

This place is local flavor through and through. I saw the owner on a local news channel showcasing…read moreChristmas ornaments that were made from retired bulbs used for The Plaza Lights. I went to her shop and got a Royals and a Chiefs ornament. I thought they were so cool that I then ordered 4 more custom ornaments with our names and marked for each year we've lived in Kansas City (2011-2014). When I picked those 4 up, I then custom ordered one for a family member and paid for Perfect Scents to ship it out to Florida. The plan was 2 day shipping, so it could end up on their tree for Christmas this year. Perfect Scents emailed me a shipping confirmation and tracking number. The package did not make it in time. It took 9 days instead of the Priority 2 days that was paid for. Please note that the shipping problems had nothing to do with Perfect Scents...it was all USPS. Gotta love that wobbly government wheel turning slowly for a cruise down Inefficient Blvd. When I called Perfect Scents to track my package, they were right on it and emailed me proof of delivery to a postal locker in Florida. I'm not sure why USPS didn't deliver it to their house, but whatever, they did indeed finally get their ornament. Bridget was a gem to deal with from beginning to end each time we made contact with her. It really takes someone with a deep love for Kansas City to go through the trouble she did to obtain the retired bulbs and then make such beautiful holiday keepsakes out of them. She also gave us samples of her scented oils each time we went to her shop. If you like to support local businesses, then this place is well worth you going out of your way. I will be back again for a new ornament every year. This is a great place with great local owners at the helm. Two thumbs up!

My kind of place! I was able to get some awesome incense and trinkets. I attempted to squeeze myself into some tiny jeans on the sale rack! I got them on. lol I just couldn't walk. I think they were in the 0-2 range. If you are that size, they have 2 cool pair of jeans on the sale rack! I found a rad pair of overalls which I wound up purchasing and a rad, bucket hat too. The couple (I'm assuming couple but a man and woman) running the place were very nice. I thought all the prices were reasonable! My overalls were the highest item but I think they were around $50. My cool bucket hat was only $11. A box of incense cones were $1.25- $2.00. I'll definitely be back in!
