This extremely fun and eclectic owner welcomed me to the store from behind the counter. She has a…read morevibrant personality that is so wonderful, you just enjoy talking with her. The store is a craft and clothing boutique. It's much more than that. Everything there is a one-of-a-kind unique item that local crafters have created. I loved browsing through the entire store and there were so many hidden gems. I was originally trying to find something for my friends twin daughters. I got a little bit overwhelmed with all the cute things that they have. I must say I want to buying a pair of airings for myself. I had to say to bring my girlfriend over and just ask her very point-blank "what adorable items do you want for your twins because they're all just too cute." You are not allowed to take pictures in the store. The reason is simple, all the items are one-of-a-kind handcrafted gifts. She had a bad experience with one time she was at a tradeshow and somebody took pictures of her items. The next thing she knew she was browsing in a high-end catalog for jewelry and she found her pieces replicated. That is devastating to a crafter who takes pride in their products and did not get a single penny for it. I can respect that. She still has awesome things. Will definitely go back.

Since I'm not too good with arranging flowers in a vase, I either buy too few and have to go back to buy more and then they're gone, or, I buy too many and waste money. I brought my vase from home because I saw these big beautiful velvet poinsettia flowers trimmed in white. I showed the vase to the young lady in the store . She took the flowers which were in the window display in a Christmas tree, paired them with faux lamb's ear, tried other greenery, but the lamb's ears were perfect, cut them the right size and arranged them in the vase for me. She had other customers, was very pleasant, she helped them while I walked around and then completed my arrangement. The store has a great vibe and with service like that, this will be the first store I will visit for these types of things.

Makes me very sad writing this as I have been going to sunshine daydream since high school and…read morebefore they changed locations and opened their new store(s). My mom and grandma would bring me here when I was little when they first opened back in 2005. The prices have skyrocketed and I fear they have steered away from the "local business" culture and prices. Now it feels like I'm shopping at an expensive department store. The prices are not reflective of the quality. The jewelry isn't as good as it used to be as the $14-$16 sterling silver earrings begin to tarnish after a month of wear. Many of my pieces I own have become stretched out and pilled after only a few wears (even with gentle washing/cleaning). Some of the pieces being the EXACT SAME BRANDS that are sold at Island Gypsy in Lavalette but being more affordable there. Today I went for the first time in a long time as I had a gift card and wanted to give them another shot as I so badly want to love sunshine again. But when I went to pay the girls said there wasn't enough money on my unused gift card saying there was only $13 of the $25...do not think it was malicious or intentional but I think there was a mix up due to them reusing gift cards. If you're charging this much for your products, why can't you afford to buy new gift cards or have a better system? The girls kind of just looked at me and shrugged like "sorry". After today, it makes me so sad as a local of point pleasant boro that a store I once loved for the quality and price has now become a hub specifically geared towards wealthy tourists.

He explained to the owner that I was looking for raw, uncertified coins (for albums I am completing) which it appeared they had plenty of. The owner then said to him "tell him go look on eBay and don't waste your time". Never did the owner look at me or address me directly. Such a rude experience! The shop was 45 minutes from where I live. Like I said, the staff member had nobody else in there to serve and by the way was pleasant. There was no negative conversation going on or haggling of any kind. I collect and I buy so I wasn't wasting anyone's time. I was told a similar story by another collector prior to going there and didn't believe a store owner would say that and kick a customer out. I do not recommend dealing with this shop at all. Stay away! This owner doesn't deserve anyone's business. I was polite the whole time I was in there. Never even got to look at some silver bars that they had in the counter that I was interested in. There is no missing part of this story. Just a rude store owner.

Do not use these people, they are a joke. Same for the Princeton location…read more A 15yr old with an ink jet printer could have done a better job at a 20th of the price. It is also clear to me they have never actually sent a letter themselves, they had no idea you cant use the space where the stamp goes, they tried to convince us that having envelope text at the very top or very bottom was normal, it isn't. After we received our prints, which were all-around amatuer, we demanded they redo them correctly. They offered to re-print from the Princeton location. The re-prints were even worse, cartoonishly large text covering corner to corner of the envelope. It was so bad that we had to send out the originals, which was completely embarassing. An unsusual percentage of our invites got lossed in the mail, Id say around 20%. I blame the papery for this, not the postal service. My conclusion is that this isn't a real business. A business wants to do a good job and retain repeat. A hobby business is one that thinks they can prey on big purse strings and do a amatuer job with no consequences. They might win a few paydays, but will never be profitable. We didn't even have high tastes for this, we just wanted something normal. They were not able to produce a normal invitation and addressed envelope, even when redoing their work. The work they produced was completely unacceptable.
