In honor of #ThankYouThursday where we pen a review for a local fav, The General Store in downtown…read moreOP was the first place my mind headed. This gem of a store has been so clutch over the years for picking up gifts. Some of the people in my life are, um, a little hard to shop for, but when I come in here, I always come away with something great. It's all so well-curated; some gifts are classy, some funny, and many are versatile. It beats the socks off of going into a big box store in a million ways. Being in a charming stretch of a walkable area adds to its appeal, and the staff is always friendly. They also have Pickwick candles which are some of the best in town. These soy candles will last multiple seasons and almost all of them smell amazing. Cheers to this shop, they're doing it right and have saved my bacon every December since they've opened.

1. I'm going to this store for every birthday and Christmas, including my little grand baby who…read moreturns 1 on 12/31. 2. The General Store is a board book extravaganza. Board books every where. While I went there for a Trapp candle leather/tobacco for my son (which smells like leather and tobacco and is really nice) the amount of board books for children is phenomenal. I could easily spend $100 on board books there. And not just regular board books, but interesting topics like the Kansas City board book I bought. 3. Haha the cluster eff towels, cluster eff pencils, Get the eff to sleep book (which I bought). The unique gifts and trinkets are bountiful and wonderful. I laughed out loud plenty of times, including at the Dog in Chairs gift cards. There's plenty of things to see and buy. Thanks to Adam and the Yelp shop local event, The General Store is a must see. Oh I forgot pictures, sorry.

This is a great shop! I believe their main presence is online, but they have a great store in the…read moreWestwood Hills shopping district on the corner of 50th and State Line Road. I was nearby at Hi Hat grabbing coffee and remembered my wife was eyeing some heart cookie cutters for Valentine's Day cookies with the kiddo. They had nice ones here, along with Pickwick candles, pillows, and other nice home decor. The shop owners are all friendly and were helpful as we quickly perused the shop. Love this little corner of Westwood Hills as it is, and having this shop is just another reason to love it.

They will then move to their location in Lenexa, it's name isn't Hawthorne and Ivy, check the Facebook page for updates. This is a great place for clothes, decor and jewelry. They have great, unique Chiefs items, seasonal items, and clothes up to plus sizes. The prices are fantastic and I dare you to not find something you have to have. The owner is wonderful and you will get hooked on her selections. Go before the move and I know you'll want to find the Lenexa site. They might get another location in town but so far, this one will close and the Lenexa location will be it. But hurry, you don't want to miss the great bargains at their closing location sale.

I've gotten candles from here as gifts or for myself. But one of these years, I'm gonna to get their popular Christmas cute mug that they've been selling every year during Christmas time. They go out of stock fast in those mugs for good reason. They have seasonal decorations too which are super cute and the look I like for simple but modern and are excellent quality. When I use up all my candles, it will be time for my next visit to this charming place! If you're at Park Place, I suggest stopping by here and taking a look inside!

I have gone in for birthday cards, agendas, Halloween decor, you name it. They are actually expanding and going into a larger storefront very soon. This is a great business to support local. I also love looking at their website and Instagram to see what they have in stock. I wish they got a bit more decorations for Hanukkah more than a menorah but I have a hard time finding Hanukkah decorations in general. I love this place and will definitely continue to support it.

They have other home goods and odd mixture of stuff. They are disorganized and people are just wandering around the store looking at what is available. If they can get it organized with signage that would make it better and they have the chairs ( a lot of them!) pushed together so it's hard to try some of them out. I would recommend it for reasonable priced chairs for dining room or accent chairs. I think most items are made in China.
