We have a Painted Tree in South Florida that will be opening soon. I wanted to check this out so…read morethat I would have an idea what to expect when ours opens. It's almost like the antique malls where people rent stalls and sell their wares, except that everything is new. There are craft items, collectibles, clothing, candles, socks and so much more! They even had a stall selling Glamorous Wash Laundry Detergent. I like the High Maintenance and Diva scents and use it for my bedding. I love the way that it makes them smell! If you find something that you like, just bring it up to the register at the front of the store and they'll ring you up. I hope that our Painted Tree is just as cool as this was!

Pros: Wide variety of goods from various vendors with their own stalls. Well lit, not noisy. Most…read moreof the goods seemed to be of decent quality. Cons: The stalls are not arranged in any kind of order, so you have to walk the entire store. Some of the aisles felt a bit tight. Biggest con and why I will not go back: 2 day return policy and a 14 day exchange policy, which is not noted anywhere that I noticed. Not a helpful policy for Christmas gifts, as I learned the hard way.

The store is clean, well organized, and has a huge selection, making it easy to find inspiration for any project. Staff is welcoming and friendly. I also love the frequent sales! So whether you're decorating your home or starting a new craft, it's definitely worth a visit! There is something for everyone! They are closed on Sundays so plan your visit accordingly.

I had a great experience until got to the cash register. The cashier said hi..only because she…read morehad to. I asked if they offered a military discount and she snapped NO. As I was leaving the register I could hear that her demeanor changed with the next customer. Love the store...the other employees were all very nice. I will be back but I will not be going to Kim's register.

We are all entitled to our own opinions right? Well... here is mines:…read more Parking: 4 Location: 5 Customer Service: 2 Facility decor/cleanliness: 5 One of the cleanest toy stores I've ever been in... but then again it was small in size. There wasn't much to choose from but they did have some neat pieces. We were never greeted by an employee... we shopped around and none of the workers asked us if we needed help. They were all young kids and they were huddled up behind the counter (horse playing and flirting is what i saw). After about 5 minutes of walking around looking we left. Nice store, its in one of the areas HOTTEST malls! 2 Stars for Toy Mania!

I was shopping with two friends in the mall when the toy store caught our eyes. We went in not…read morereally searching for anything and found puzzles among many strange toys. The place is definitely more targeted towards kids rather than 3 friends in their early 20s. Even so, you might find something cool. While my friends checked out their puzzle selection, I had my eyes set on their watercolor painting supplies. After pondering about it for a bit, I got the the watercolor set ($14) that comes with paint, paintbrushes, and a watercolor pad to paint on. I loved the purchase and I think it's a great beginner kit! Also, there is complimentary gift wrap with any purchase by the cashier register.

They have a great card selection and each card is only 99 cents. I love that each card was in plastic wrap with its envelope.

I'm a sucker for Anthropologie even if I can't afford most of the clothing! When you walk in…read moreeverything is really curated so beautifully! I love browsing all the housewares items. Perfect spot to grab a gift from cookbooks, fancy mugs, aprons, to barware they really do have a little bit of everything. The last time I was in I picked up a few greeting cards, great for wedding showers when the bride gets a whole bunch of Hallmark repeats. Oh and the candles! Man do they have some nice candles, seemingly an endless amount of options. On to the cloths! Now sometimes I think the prices are warranted, but sometimes they seem a bit nuts. They have a decent clearance section and do occasionally have some storewide sales to look out for. The employees are always friendly and they have a great location at South Point, basically in the middle of everything. I can't help but stop in every time I'm walking by!

I used to go to this Barnes & Noble a lot to chill and devour books while enjoying coffee from…read moreStarbucks, but my most recent visit was one of the most disappointing bookstore-venturing experiences I've had. First of all, the cafe was too packed; they seemed to have change the seating arrangements, and there's not enough seats to accommodate more customers. Compared to the Barnes & Noble in Cary, this location lacked seats outside of the cafe area, so most of the people who want to just sit and read a book are left with no option but to find an open seat in the cafe area or in one of the uncomfortable "benches" in front of the magazine stand. Another annoying change: the restrooms now require a code to enter (probably to avoid unpleasant guests from trashing the toilets, which is understandable). When I asked an old guy at the customer service for the code, he wrote it down for me but the lack of friendliness and helpfulness of the employees make this shop devoid of the kind of warmth you find in other bookstores. None of them asked for what I was looking for or greeted me when I passed. As for the overall value books, it's the same story for every Barnes & Noble: I just don't see a smart reason to purchase books here over purchasing books on Amazon because of prices here are significantly higher compared to buying online. I ended up leaving right away. This location should learn from the Barnes & Noble in Cary when it comes to overall ambiance and customer service.

I specifically go for the B&N classic and special editions but it is nice they have a cafe. I noticed their bathroom is locked and can only be unlocked by a code on the bottom of a receipt which isn't super classy.

In this case recently, the Hello Kitty wrapping paper caught my eye. Super cute and super useful during the holidays. My recipients loved it. They had a bunch of other cute stuff but most everything else was geared toward budget conscious people. I'll say it's by far not a one stop shop for shopping but it's always nice to pop in to see what they have.
