Super cute shop! It was recommended to me by the girls from Lather they love the shop and called it a one stop shop for gifts. I love I I found a cute birthday card and matches for a friend. Prices aren't bad. They even have a whole baby section which is cute! Have clothes but I didn't check the prices..

What an adorable shop with jewelry, clothes, cute quirky gift options as well as even some food items like chocolate and marmalade. The girl working the counter was friendly and shop very clean and organized. Prices vary for all price points. Parking lot was quite busy, but not too hard to manage.

Beautiful handmade hair clips
Lina L.

Very unique boutique with beautiful, handcrafted goods. There were so many things I absolutely loved! Some of my favorites were: handmade hair clips by Karst, made of cellulose acetate, a material made from wood pulp, and cotton fibers. They were gorgeous and so unique! Earrings made by Kara Yoo, from sustainable materials, were very pretty. My favorite has got to be the most adorable amphora candlestick holders handmade by Erika Christine ceramics. Handmade wood resin block art made in Phoenix by Lana Nguyen were so vibrant! They also carry lots of beautiful unique baby clothing and accessories. Prices are on the higher end, but you're buying very unique items you won't see anywhere else. If you're looking for a beautiful and thoughtful gift, check them out!

Very nice store offering high quality sustainable products. There were a lot of really cool things. The prices were on the high end but you're supporting unique artisans and one of a kind items.

Amazing
Nikole G.

Stopped in today as I was walking to my car. Cool spot! They've got so many artsy/gift things here! Kind of reminds me of a ship in Berkeley Ca. The girl manning the store was beyond gorgeous- and just as nice! I'm a total candle collector, so I had to run out of the shop because I was about to go bananas with the candles! As soon as I have room- I'm headed back!

This shop is really cute! Located in a shopping center with a bunch of other cute shops and nice eateries. We didn't have much time so we only popped into Local Nomad briefly for a quick walk-through. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend checking it out. They sell cards, plants, clothing, accessories, etc. (:

I never wear jewelry, but the earrings here actually moved me to re-pierce my ears  This is one of the pairs I took home.

I can't think of a better bookstore than Changing Hands (both Phoenix and Tempe)…read more This location has a different layout than Tempe and I love that they're both uniquely beautiful. There are so many trinkets and gifts available to sort through. They have a best seller section right at the front which makes it easy to navigate books that are newer as well. The entire store is organized and nothing is hard to find. The staff are mostly behind the register. It's so cool that they're attached to a bar and there's a space behind where you can stay and study/drink.

While in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards, and after going to one store that didn't have…read moreany, they suggested we try Changing Hands. Jackpot--they had exactly what I was looking for! First, I have to mention the book bar inside, First Draft. We didn't actually get a chance to go in, but I absolutely love the convenience of having a bookshop and bar together. And I especially love a good play on words, so if I'd had more time and hadn't had my teenager with me, I definitely would have checked it out! Anyway, I walked in and cut right to the chase, asking an employee where I could find the postcards. They pointed me in the right direction, and I found them immediately. We were on a bit of a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to explore EVERYTHING they had, but I easily could have spent quite a while browsing the books, trinkets, gifts, and all the other fun things throughout the store. Then something caught my eye that I was SO excited about--the mini print vending machine! I had seen these on TikTok before, including ones in San Francisco, so finding one here was a really pleasant surprise. I dug around in my purse and managed to come up with enough quarters to get two prints. I absolutely loved the prints, and they made such a fun and affordable souvenir to bring home. It was one of those unexpected little finds that made the stop even better. My only complaint is that I didn't have more time to explore. I would have loved to browse the store longer and grab a drink at First Draft. Changing Hands is definitely a little gem in the Phoenix area, and I'm glad another store pointed me in their direction!

My daughter started violin lessons with a new teacher and her $80 instrument from Amazon was not…read morecutting it. He sent us to Central Music to rent a smaller, better instrument. We had three choices and price points, and I selected the "student" one which was the least expensive, and wow, this instrument sounds so much better and is in great shape! We were in and out of the shop in 20 minutes. The salesperson helping us was knowledgeable and friendly and we were able to find the accessories we needed as well (shoulder rest sponge and rosin). She's been playing it for 3 months with no issues and it doesn't go out of tune quickly like her cheap one. Billing is automatic and easy, with no mistakes. Such a great experience - we'll definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to the next one!

This is the friendliest music store I've ever been to. The older gentleman, Roy, is very easygoing…read moreand quick to offer help with a smile and advice, and knows where everything is in the store blindfolded, but will let you look on your own if you prefer too. The store is packed with any genre of sheet music and books (and TAB form) for every instrument you can imagine (banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, vocals, guitar, piano, brass instruments, woodwinds, etc all of them). They sell accessories such as guitar strings, tuners, straps, picks, music stands, and some acoustic guitars and banjos as well. Vinyl records and small musical gifts line the walls, it's so fun to explore and each time you visit you'll find something new, as there's so much selection. If there is something they don't have in stock, they will order it for you. The vibe is very relaxed and they are never pushy, you can look around for 30 min alone exploring if you want and just ask if you need anything. Love this place and can't recommend it enough, it's also a vintage store with history dating back to the 1950's so it has such cute charm and decor, it's an experience that online shopping can't give. I now purchase all my sheet music and guitar accessories from Central Music, support local!
