I was in the other day and heard conversations between people that I've only dreamed of. The owner is one of the most kind and authentic people I've ever met, not to mention she's a beekeeper and upstanding member of our community. I have yet to take one of the art classes, or meditation classes or host of other classes they offer but that's on my short list of things to do. Here's HIVE. (Where amazing people swarm :) ) Hive is a stationary and gift shop but they also have classes, art collectives, moments of great conversation and one of the coolest atmosphere's in Gastonia. My husband has quickly learned, that any gift for me purchased from Hive is a great idea. He went in last September for an anniversary gift and received the best service from Merryman (owner). You can find all sorts of cool stuff in here and the items are constantly changing. Soaps, books, cards, hand-stamped stationary and custom stationary if you're so inclined. If you're looking for wedding invitations, this is your place. Local honey...it's here too. One of the amazing things I also love about this place, are the window displays. Detailed and beautiful enough to give NYC a run for their money. You must visit, it's AMAZING!! #savethebees

I want to start by saying this is not the first, second, or even third time I've had a poor…read moreexperience at this location. Unfortunately, there seems to be a consistent lack of customer service, consideration, and basic empathy. During my most recent visit, the woman I spoke with...who had glasses and shoulder length hair...was in the middle of making soap, which I understood she couldn't immediately stop. However, when I explained what I was looking for, instead of offering assistance or even a bit of understanding, I felt completely brushed off. This same dismissive attitude has been present every time I've visited. Because of these repeated experiences, I will no longer be a customer, and I won't be recommending this business to anyone...

I revisited this place once in a long time...and I was sad to see that most of the merchandise was…read moregone! There were only a sprinkling of items on sale (like a few T-shirts, sunglasses, and some miscellaneous items), so still a bit to check out. More than retail, it seems the place is now more of an artsy crafty place than a retail store. The entire place looked bigger...more space, since less retail. I thought they should have had some overhead music to fill the empty space, and give it more of a vibe. They still had this bar area, where they served wine (aside from the Jackass Cafe in the back). Still, I love the big, wide, open space that this place has to offer...and its Bohemian vibe. And did I mention their awesome artwork on their walls - both inside and out? I left the store thinking I should partake in their jewelry making on my next visit!

This store is an absolute treasure! Located a short couple of miles north of Statesville, it's hard…read moreto describe exactly what it is. It's a gift shop with locally made and sourced goods, from stickers to jewelry, to cups, clothing, etc. It's an antique store with two smallish rooms in back just stuffed full of antique bric-a-brac. It's a "grocery" store with coolers/freezers containing locally made foods, dairy, eggs, etc. they have a local bakery delivering bread on Fridays and a local dessert Baker bringing cakes etc. They even have an ice cream shop! There's a large wall with jams, jellies and pickles off every variety. At certain times, they have a mini produce market outside. (It pays to watch their social media account.) Of course, the people who work here are super nice and helpful. The prices are, on average, very reasonable. If the parking lot looks full, drive around to the back for more. I highly recommend Southern Charmers for many things. You need to check it out!

It's also a lovely place to get a reasonable "thinking of you" gift for a friend or neighbor. Inventory is contemporary and has a little something for every age: toys for children, rich lotions for adults, Hallmark souvenirs. The staff is kind and everyone there cares about their customers and the quality of the merchandise they offer. If you're into engraving, they can do that too. I love the kitchen towels and pet-themed gifts for those of us whose children have four legs and a tail.
