Good Things is a gem and always a must-stop for me when I'm bopping around White Bear Lake! Every…read moretime I pop in, I find something new--whether it's cookbooks, cards, puzzles, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothing....you name it. The selection here feels endless in the best way. Allow yourself some time because the store is pretty big. I especially love coming here when I need a gift or something Minnesota-based as they always have unique, MN-feeling items that hit the mark. It's the kind of boutique where you can happily wander and browse for A WHILE. I haven't had much interaction with staff beyond checkout, and I've noticed they don't typically come out onto the floor--at least not during my last couple of Thursday visits during Marketfest. That said, checkout has always been smooth. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good browse through a thoughtfully selected mix of finds! Also, highly suggest joining the rewards program and checking out the clearance section while you're here... there could be some great deals tucked away!

We stopped in to the Good Things store while visiting White Bear Lake on Monday morning. This is an…read moreamazing store! I would definitely call this a "must see" boutique. There are 3 parts to this store and you owe it to yourself to experience them all! I started in the style area, which is the clothing part of the store. This is an upscale women's apparel store, with habitat, Liverpool, Johnny Was, and many other upscale brands. All of it is beautifully curated and displayed. You will have fun browsing the racks. The sales associates were super helpful and knew exactly how to interact with people--making customers feel welcome, but not pressured to buy. Downstairs, there is an amazing sales area. Don't miss this gem! Bargains galore and beautiful things! I'm sure it changes regularly. Then stop at the cafe and have a coffee, pastry, or freshly baked cookie. All the treats look and smell delicious. The staff was very sweet and service was prompt. After that, continue shopping at the Good Things gift shop. This is a top notch gift shop the likes of which I rarely see. It is brimming with themed displays for almost every interest or occasion. If you can't find a gift here, you may never find it! Seriously. You can wander in this shop for an entire morning and still not see everything. I hope you stop by Good Things. It's a fabulous shop. Locally owned. Go there for your next gift.

Had to take to trip here after receiving A gift card for store credit to Pandora. We had called in…read moreadvance to make sure they had what we needed and to make sure they would be able to run our gift cards. Upon arrival, they let us know that to process our gift cards and purchase, they would have to call the Mall of America Pandora store. The sales lady tried the store once, and then when they didn't pick up, she let us know that there was nothing she could do and that we would have to walk away without the earrings we had driven 40 minutes for. throughout the entire experience she was very rude and never once apologized for the inconvenience, we had to ask her nicely to try the store a few more times before she was able to get through and get the purchase done. We walked away not only with our earrings but with a bad impression of the store. We will not be shopping here again.

I came into the store and was looking to buy a pandora bracelet. The older lady who I was dealing…read morewith was really short with her answers and annoyed at my questions. I asked to try on a bracelet, and midway through trying to help me put it on, she suddenly stopped and said "oh, the bracelet should fit you" and just completely stopped helping me put it on. It was so awkward. I was left to try to clasp the bracelet together awkwardly, but managed to put it on. The other young lady with her didn't say much to me, but was much friendlier and was keeping my little ones busy. Too bad I had to deal with the old crabby one that made me feel like I was a bother to her and treated me like I wasn't good enough to buy a pandora bracelet. She was not very nice. Taking my business elsewhere for pandora products.

Stopped into Hallmark while I was in the area running other errands. I always love browsing here…read morebecause there's so many cute and creative gift ideas! My wallet isn't always thrilled, haha, but I give myself a time limit because I could spend forever looking around. The store was quiet, which I appreciated. I wasn't greeted when I walked in and only saw staff at checkout desk when I passed, but I didn't need help since I was just browsing. Some items can be a bit pricey, so I do compare prices elsewhere when I can. That said, the store is always beautifully decorated and really pleasant to walk through. Yes, I'll be back!
