I've passed this Patina so many times traveling through St. Paul. I've have wanted to check it but…read moreparking is extremely difficult in this ever busy area. We were finally able to get around to checking it out & I LOVE that when you walk in it's so bright and colorful with a plethora of items. Makes me so happy. This location is 2 floors of shopping. We didn't get down to the basement but the main floor had enough going on for me. If you never been to Patina, they sell home decor, gifts and such. The store is pretty randomly organized but in a cool look at everything way. Like you can be looking at display that's different pink items, or Mn themed or food themed. It is on the expensive side but overall good quality stuff.

I have lived in the Twin Cities since 2000, and loved loved Patina when it opened. Their buyers…read morehave been excellent in their selection of highly creative, wonderfully and uniquely patterned-colored-textured-designed products. Just walking in was an exhilarating experience. The last six years we have spent more time in Florida and I had not been in a Patina store all that time. Yes, it is beautiful colorful fun and everything is displayed so perfectly. But the price points have SOARED and the uniqueness/quirkiness/extra special FUN has dropped considerably. The cards are lovely but not outstanding. Text is minimal. The entire store is more monochromatic in terms of product designs/ concepts/unique creativity. The buyers are good but not excitingly wonderful anymore. There was no service at the St Paul Highland store. A tall gentleman was aloof, just "there" to check out... Sad.

Polish decorative pottery greats you at the front door, an entire kitchen is full of more.

Awesome place for unique unforgettable gifts

Fantastic location, mission and variety! I have been meaning to come here and I'm so glad I did!…read moreThe shop is located near the Hamline Midway area across from Ginkgo Coffee House. I highly recommend making a shopping date with friends and then hitting coffee afterwards. Bonus: Flying Pig is typically open until 6 pm and Ginkgo 8 pm!! Flying Pig Thrift is staffed primarily by volunteers and everyone is beyond kind. Community resources are available onsite via a bulletin board and the shop supports 3 main non-profit groups. Within the dressing area room, there was a flyer supporting mental health resources and I smiled when I saw it. There are a wide variety of items that shift seasonally and frequently. Items are fairly priced and there are often sales, half price item days and even a permanent sale section in the back. I was really excited to score a denim button up with funky colorful bird designs, a cute yellow bee kind sweatshirt along with a black Nike top. In addition to clothes, there are shoes, cards, jewelry, some handcrafted art, home decor, hospital scrubs, board games, records, magazines and more. Thank you Flying Pig Thrift! I appreciate your mission and service towards the Saint Paul area.

One could spend days and days in here strolling down memory lane or letting your imagination run wild with all the decorating and collecting possibilities.

Customer Service was outstanding, as Carolyn was so helpful, and two other staffers (whose names I didn't get) were incredibly kind and gave us recommendations about local places to eat.

The pieces they buy are absolutely beautiful and vary from jewelry to home decor to birthday cards. Ten Thousand Villages pays the artists outright, so the artists do not have to worry about the sale of their pieces to be compensated. When you buy any piece, they have listed which country it originated and they'll include more information about the piece and the artists that created them. It is such a wonderful place to buy unique gifts and feel like you're putting your money to good use. They also have an online website and offer gift cards as well! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a meaningful gift for your next occasion!

(I love supporting small business owners/artists, as I am one myself.) The shop itself is not very large, but there's a decent selection of cute stuff that, for the most part, is thematically congruent with the Minnesota/Minneapolis experience. I couldn't resist a glittery ornament depicting the spoon and cherry statue (if you know, you know!). You'll find things like t-shirts, kitchen towels, wooden spoons/spatulas, chocolate, soaps, wooden art blocks, coasters, puzzles, jewelry, baby clothes, coasters, keychains, postcards, stickers, etc. I am uncertain how much or how often stock changes.

I wasn't even in the market for any particular gifts for anyone, but I got lots of stuff for my home!

There is also a coffee & tea section with offerings I haven't seen before that I'm excited to try (I got some of the coffee & haven't tried it yet). Definitely worth at least a visit, especially if they're open while you are at one of the nearby businesses. It is likeable!
