A super cute little gift shop located downtown, I popped in to look for cards and boy was that the…read moreright choice! Their cards have super modern sentiments from silly sarcasm to sweet sincerity or puns with simplistic but bold designs. I bought my mom a card called Anatomy of a Woman for Mother's Day and she LOVED IT. The card I gave my mom also had wildflowers in the paper itself that could be planted instead of (eventually) being thrown out. I was laughing at their other selections such as divorce party cards! Most of the cards are printed on recycled materials too. Aside from cards the shop carries a lot of hand crafted wood items, glassware, candles, some jewelry, and unique ornaments around the holidays. If you're looking for a "classy" gift I'd recommend Mixed Methods.

A gorgeous little shop right next to Recess coffee in Tippery Hill, Beekind specializes in…read moresustainable and local gifts, particularly their 100% soy wax melts and candles. I previously brought home the Peach Bellini candle and not only does it smell AMAZING, but it lasts so long! If you bring back your finished candle jar they will also give you 10% off your purchase, which is a great incentive for sustainability. They also offer items like a rechargeable lighter, which I'm in LOVE with since it reduces the waste associated with candles (plastic lighters, lighter fluid, matches, etc.). Aside from candles, you can also find various pillows, throws, kitchen utensils, bath bombs, plant accessories, jewelry, and locally made treats... for both humans and pets alike and most are locally sourced brands (e.g., 210 Teas, Syracuse Soapworks, etc.)! This is a great place for gifts, and they even offer recycled wrapping paper! The most charming part of the store, in my opinion, is their variety of bee-themed items. The bee pattern they use on their fabric items is super cute but they also have items like decorative metal bee-shaped wall hooks and, of course, honey. Their wax melts are in honeycomb shapes, as well! If you like to decorate for the holidays, you're in luck, because this shop also offers rotating sustainable seasonal items! Last time I visited, they had picks for Easter, which included items such as painted wooden eggs and ceramic egg trays. Currently they have a gift set for Mother's Day which includes sustainable self-care items from several local brands. Every time I come in there's something new and different! Now my new routine every time I visit Syracuse is to stop by Beekind and grab a latte from Recess next door. One of my favorite places in Syracuse!

Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu. I got the Peep Mallow Latte (so good!). I love Peeps, so the moment I saw it on the board, I ditched my lemonade plans without hesitation. The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.

A Must-Visit in Syracuse!…read more Absolutely loved Salt City Market! I went with a few friends, and we all got something different, which made it such a fun experience. It's a food hall with a variety of stalls offering cuisines from all over the world, so there's truly something for everyone. I went with the Ethiopian food and also picked up a few snacks from the market inside. Beyond the food, I loved the overall atmosphere. There's a community room, plenty of welcoming shared space, and just really great vibes throughout. Even the outdoor area was lovely, especially with the fire pit going on a chilly night! Such a cool, vibrant place to eat, explore different cuisines, and hang out with friends. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're in Syracuse!
