This was my first trip to Home Goods and I was pleasantly surprised with what they had to offer. My mom loves this store and comes here often. We were out in the area today and she wanted to stop. For those not familiar with the store, it's kind of like a Big Lots / Marshalls but with only home decor items: furniture, kitchen and glassware, picture frames and photos, storage containers, chachkies, etc. (Someone may have a better store to compare it to, that's the best I can think of.) As one previous review noted, there is a huge emphasis on the nautical theme, but for me that's great! I love seashells, fishes, turtles, palm trees, and like to decorate my house that way.
Keep in mind I wasn't planning on buying anything - at all. But then I found some large plastic iced tea glasses with an ocean theme, six for $4.99 that I could not pass up. I also got a few other small items and a birthday gift for a friend. I found this painting of a turtle which was a little pricey for my taste, but it had a white-ish, gray background with a bright blue turtle. Of course, just like Big Lots or Marshalls, there was only one. My bedroom is white and different shades of blue, so I had to buy it. I noticed a small scratch in the one corner of the picture and the manager gave me 10% off, so I was happy with that.
Cute store, would love to come back when I have more time and money to spend! read more
