I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

My MIL sent our LO a monogrammed bib and its adorable. The bib is of excellent quality, heavier than any bib I've ever purchased. Nice abd thick. Its almost too cute to use for spit up.

I ordered the fig and goat cheese flatbread, which was good, but had little to no fig flavor, which was a bit disappointing. French dip got great reviews from someone in my party. Prepare to be disappointed in the "chocolate factory" which does not appear to be anything one could tour. There was a woman in the gift shop assembling white chocolate turtles in between ringing up customers, but that was it. Gift shop has some different things, but of our party of 6 people, no one found anything to purchase. First, secure a table and make note of the number. Next, order and pay at the counter and provide the table number. Lastly, get your drinks and return to the table to wait for your food.

Even through the store is small, they still have stuff for all levels of neediness ranging from Game of Thrones to Harry Potter to Avengers to DragonBall Z. They even carried Friends and The Office merchandise. My husband purchased two pairs of socks - Captain America and Spider-Man. They were around $10 a pair. He signed up for their rewards program and got an email the same day for $10 off a $40 purchase. My only feedback would be for them to carry more Black Panther attire.

I really appreciate that while I was leisurely exploring the store nobody followed me around, repeatedly asked me if I needed help, or had their eyes on me as if they were assuming I was going to steal something. The only time I had someone in close proximity to me is when I asked questions about their products; furthermore, they just display excellent customer sercive here. I had found quite a bit of stuff for my mother and niece. The clerk even offered to gift wrap my items into a customized gift baskets tied with a beautiful ribbon free of charge. If you're in town looking for beautiful souviners I highly reccomend Uptown Gifts.
