Walked into WhatsNew and found them having lots of souvenirs items and yet they had different handmade creative items throughout as well. Wound out getting a small magnetic mask for my parents fridge ($4) and a Creole one ($4.5) for myself which had lovely colors.

I had two key words to go off of: tea and candles. Hmmmmm.... I had my friend Eric tell me about The Collective Shop a few months back when he bought some prints and I obsessed about them at his house. I was told it had recently opened on Magazine Street (this was around Halloween) and it was not only #blackowned but #womanowned and #opentoall ! *sold* I had this ace in my pocket for a while now but wanted a reason to shop for someone else, besides myself, and have a proper visit to explore and shop. I'm notorious for buying gifts for myself then as I'm in my car realized that I needed to shop for whatever the occasion was for. The shop is so stinking cute and is about 2-3 blocks away from Drink Beauty. Honestly, I love taking a stroll on Magazine Street and just basking in the ambiance. Once I found the cute little shop, I made my way in and fell in love at first sight. Had the chance to meet Alysia, one of the owners and she showed me around. I had asked her if they offer shipping and they do if you hit a certain threshold. WINNING I mentioned about my secret mission and wanted to make sure this could be sent incognito. She was super awesome and handled the details once I provided the address. I even left the items there since I needed computer access to her address. They have their own loose leaf tea and were super informative on which ones work with alternative milks and best for chai lattes. What won me over though were their #vegan candles which Alysia and Toni make in-house! I took a few sniffs and selected my fave two scents. The smaller ones were $8 a pop and the larger ones were around $14. You can find tons of knick knacks around here and make sure to ask which items are made in-house. Really loved my experience here and this shop implements COVID-19 safety practices! I snagged my secret santa gift for a little over $30 and left with a huge smile on my face. I hope CM Anne F. likes it just as much when it arrives to her doorstep.

The oyster throw pillows and clutch are fun and the jewelry designs are unique (although I think they can be purchased at other local retailers). Why three stars? The t-shirts are cute, but can be had elsewhere. The jewelry is tiny, meaning no options for rings over a size eight. When designers make larger sizes, they will sell out and quickly. There's a few options for men, but it's really geared for women.

I was greeted with a friendly "hello" as soon as I walked in the store and I began looking over their merchandise.

The clothing is really nice, high quality and enough to make you fit in at any party. I want to go on a shopping spree here soon. This shop is worth the stop!
