Such a cute shop! I love gift stores so I know if I lived in this area, I would come here often…read more I stopped by to look at what religious items they had before my nieces communion but didn't see anything great stuck out to me to purchase but I loved looking at everything. They had great party platters and fun napkins, mugs, wine glasses, cards, decorations for your home, purses, jewelry and more. I think their main seller is their Alex and Ani collection. I looked at their collection and they had some great items if you were looking to purchase a bracelet. The staff was super friendly. There were three people out on the floor working and all of them greeted me and let me know they can help me out if I needed it and when I said I didn't they left me alone and that was perfect. I will generally ask for help and I don't need someone to follow me around to help. The price points were all over the place which is awesome because it means more people can afford to shop here. There were some items in the $15 range and I some things near $100 so whatever you are looking to spend, there will be something here for you. Overall, I was very happy with my time in here even if I didn't buy anything this time around. I know that I will stop by when I am in town in the future and I will also suggest coming here to others.

This is my go to place to buy cards for special events and holidays. They are the most elegant,…read moreartistic, and fancy cards I have ever seen. Of course they are pricey, but artwork always is pricey. The messages inside the cards are often brief and sweet. It is the artfully designed card that sets these apart from other card stores. The store offers numerous pretty gift wrap options. They sell a variety of gifts such as cute little books, some clearly for the over 21 crowd. The cards are buy three get the fourth one free so I always buy four cards at a time. They often have cards for the holidays far enough in advance so that it recently was possible to buy St. Patrick's Day, Easter and Mother's Day cards all at the same time. The Sushi Happy Birthday card is my favorite!

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Linda, owner and operator of Metro Home Style…read more Here are just a few: - My pup Sam and I are always greeted with a warm hello and welcomed conversation on each visit. Sam's treated with dog treats and I am treated with coffee, and when she hosts her annual Spring Open Houses-- much more! A meatball bar, cheese, crackers, wine, exotic cocktail mixes, and more are there for customer's pickings as we shop around for all the spring things. I picked up a meaningful painting from an artist in Brooklyn! And, the first 10-20 people in receive a "goodie gift" on the way out. This year, it was a single tulip in a beautiful glass vase. - Loads of awesome items from local coffee + salts to jewelry, candles, home decor, stationery, and so much more! Every season offers new products. I look forward to the Christmas ornament selections every year! - Feeling a true sense of community, as neighbors. You'll love your visit, I'm confident, as much as I do every single time!

BoxLunch, a pop culture gift store with a cause, has brought its pop culture apparel and licensed…read moremerchandise to Destiny USA. BoxLunch offers a selection of the world's most popular licensed shirts, accessories, collectibles, beauty, home goods and gift and novelty merchandise for pop culture enthusiasts. With every $10 spent on its pop culture-themed product offering of apparel, accessories, home goods, gift and novelty, and collectibles, BoxLunch will help provide a meal secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks. As a 90s kid and self professed nerd, BoxLunch is like an oasis for me. There is so much pop culture influenced merchandise, it's almost overload. Some of my favorite shows and movies have tons of merchandise sold here, and a lot of it is stuff you can't find anywhere else. I'm also a Funko Pop collector, and they have a huge selection of Pops to choose from, including plenty of store exclusives. They have a membership program you can join and regularly receive coupons for (usually pretty good ones too), and as I said before, they donate meals to charity as well. They also ask to round up your change on your order, with the difference also going to charity. One of my biggest issues is, they have a ton of awesome shirts, but they just don't make big enough sizes for me. I'ma big guy, so it's an issue I have a lot, but they have such awesome pop culture influenced shirts here, it can be pretty disappointing. Some of their stuff can be a tad pricey, but they constantly put stuff on clearance and if you join the membership program, you'll pretty much always have BoxLunch Money to spend. All their employees are always helpful and happy. If you're a pop culture addict, you'll either love this place, or hate it for taking all your money.

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.

Every item we carry in our gift shop is handpicked with our customers in mind. We strive to provide our loyal shoppers with something new, affordable, and distinctive. We find the beauty in artwork created by several talented local artists such as pottery, hand-painted black and white checked items, stained glass, knitted sweaters, hand-sewn home décor, and recycled/repurposed wood items. We work closely with them in much of their design to accommodate the needs of our customers and friends.

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.
