There aren't a ton…read moreof places to shop for clothes in town, so I initially really wanted to like Artifacts because the window displays were quirky and cute. However, one inside the store, there is an overbearing, off-putting smell of patchouli. As a college student, I thought the store items were overpriced for the relatively low quality, and the clothing was not size inclusive (too many junior-sized items). The owner's unprofessional behavior is also a reason why I do not enjoy this store. I've known people who worked here, and they described what was a hostile work environment where they were subjected to verbal abuse, and I witnessed this firsthand. On one occasion, I was in line at the counter with an item in my hand, ready to make a purchase (earrings I believe?), but after hearing how rudely she spoke to an employee in front of me, I decided not to buy them. If that's how she acted in front of customers, I can only imagine how she behaves in private. The owner has been in the news for her bigoted, transphobic views, which are on display in the storefront windows. In doing this, she has clearly made a connection between her political views and her store, so this is why I find it fair to comment on them in this review. I was not a fan of this store before, but this is yet another reason not to support this business.

Love visiting import house specifically for the shelter cats they house that are up for adoption!…read moreThe black one there right now is SO SWEET, my partner and I love visiting her. There's a decent selection of pretty basic shoes, some fun clothing, jewelry, and rocks. In the back section there's an excellent array of smoking pieces, incense, and other local knickknacks. The prices are anything unreasonable either, plus it's located uptown, so it's not out of the way.

One of my favorites stores…read more I shop there for incense, candles, shoes, occasionally clothes. They have a few hiking stylized belts, hiking socks gloves, hippyish hats. They have a wide selection of superior quality shoes. The prices range from $50-60 through, over $100. They carry keen shoes and are now carrying Vans. I can't say much for the quality of vans. I do have a pair of pro vans skate shoes, but vans range in quality at different stores. To be honest I am sure Import House is only carrying vans because they have become a fad within the past few years. Import House has a good selection of stretched ear jewelry ranging in sizes from very small at a 8 or 10 gauge all the way up to fractional inch sizes. They also carry some body jewelry. Included in their jewelry counter is locally customer made jewelry. Import House is Divided in half. One side with smoking accessories and the other side with mainly shoes clothes and jewelry.

My first time in the store I spent over $100. But that was on a lot of items because everything is fairly priced! I have bought shirts and sweatshirts as gifts for others. Ordering from their online store is great because they send you numerous updates about the status of your purchase when it is shipped. If you want to support a great local company in Athens, you can't go wrong with Ohio is HOME. The staff is friendly and you can buy just about anything Ohio themed (except for apparel from that one other university in Columbus with Ohio in its name).

White's Mill, located at a strategic location along the Hocking River for obvious historical…read morereasons, is really two practical things in one. It is a great place to visit in spring and early summer to get those onion bulbs and choose from shedloads of different seeds for flowers and plants. Not patient enough for seeds? You are in luck! They have flowers, vegetables and herbs with a head start. Even a place for fruit trees (and shouldn't we all be planting trees!). The staff has decades of experience helping you navigate timing, species choices, de-conflicting what you plant side by side etc. They also have soil choices (bags, not bulk) and garden tools, pots, and even canning supplies. AND... The other half of White's Mill is an eclectic gift shop leaning heavily into local authors, artists, and products. It is a go-to for nature books for all ages as well as local nonfiction and fiction authors. It has local pottery (art and function), jewelry (especially turquoise), and quirky kitchen instruments. Sneaky good selection of leather belts, recycled plastic woven rugs, even puzzles. So when you need that cool gift but need ideas, when you want to support local artists, when you just want to have fun discovering clever creations, walk in and turn right behind the front counter. So go to cultivate, both in your garden and your mind. Both will lower your blood pressure and bring a smile.
