Four Hands Outlet is right next door to my gym. I have passed by this furniture store a thousands…read moretimes and never ventured in. At least a couple of times throughout the year this furniture store has a tent sale. I may glance into the tent if the furniture is clear visible. In full transparency, I did not know what the durability or longevity of furniture would be purchased at outlet. For clothing at an outlet, the hem could be off, button missing or another small imperfection. One would expect furniture to be durable and long lasting. Four Hands Outlet carries medium grade furniture. It appears to be foundational type furniture. There were a number of tables, chairs and sofa to peruse in the store. I will likely pop by when the tent is fully stocked. It is important to note that Four Hands Outlet has earned a number of Yelp awards. The sales representative shared her knowledge of what was going to be included in the sale, although her knowledge was limited. The furniture ranges from low to medium price range.

When I inquired more specifically, I learned that those were not "the Dubai chocolates." I appreciate the sales associate's honesty. They have a plethora of wall hangings. It is quite impressive the sayings they have on some of their wall hangings. If you are looking for some unique hearts for Valentine's day, Sugarboo is your go to place. The staff is southern hospitality friendly. They welcome any questions and if you are looking for something specifically, they will let you know exactly where it is in the store. This store is very affordable. Importantly, it has unique items that you will not find in every store you frequent.

From pillows to placemats to notepads to candles to sweaters and shirts and comforters and pet items. Oh my! This store has so many fun products that are great gift giving ideas at reasonable prices. I visited from California on a work trip and super bummed I didn't bring a bigger suitcase because I would've bought so many gifts to give. I believe this store is female owned, and have store locations throughout the south. Their staff is sweet and accommodating, and every gift comes with a beautiful gift wrapping that's complementary. They have plenty of parking as they are part of a mall and there is tons of parking stalls. Can't wait to come back and visit this store on my next work trip. It will definitely be on my list of things to do when I visit Austin, Texas and in the mood for shopping.

When I saw that this was right around the corner from the hotel I was staying at, I made sure to carve out at least 90 minutes to walk through the store and touch every single thing. The staff was friendly and helpful and answered all the questions I had. I personally wasn't offered a beverage, but I did hear them offering beverages to people as they entered. If I had been thirsty, I would have been brave and asked for a beverage myself. The store is beautifully designed and laid out, the furniture. The high quality I always expected it to be. The colors beautiful and bright. This really was just a dream come true for me to be able to browse through the store of my design fantasies.

Did you know that World Market moved from the Gateway shopping center the Arboretum Shopping Center…read morenear Michaels (Austin, TX)? I did not until recently. World Market is an eclectic store with global style, offering a variety of items from home furnishings and kitchen items to international foods and drinks. I have found woven baskets from Ghana and Christmas ornaments from Kazakhstan. You can go in and be immediately overwhelmed or bask in the delight of all your findings. World Market is my go-to for chocolate covered tea biscuits, certain types of jams and wines from around the world. The store's ambiance often feels like an open market luring you to different parts of the store. If you are looking for a unique gift, this is the store you. Today I was looking for green tea for a friend...not any type of green tea. I was specifically looking for white hibiscus and peach green tea. Score! I found ample amount of this tea with a plethora of other similar teas. The cashier was so kind to point precisely to the part of the store where I could find all their teas. World Market is a great place to shop for unique items especially gifts. I am more than thrilled with the new location as it is even closer to home.

Now, the real star: the gluten-free baked goods. We tried four different things, cookies included, and honestly? I was stunned. The flavor, the softness, the balance, nothing felt like a "gluten-free compromise." It tasted like the real deal, maybe even better. Not overly sweet, not dry, not crumbly, just genuinely delicious pastries that happen to be gluten-free. I don't know what magic they're working in that kitchen, but this is easily the best gluten-free bakery I've come across. A must-visit, no question.

Every piece in the store appears to be intentionally curated. Maaribu melds a home and gift shop with an in house café and bakery, creating an experience that's both relaxing and memorable. According to Mable, my server, Maaribu is a combination of the word Marfa (Texas town that has the Prada store) and Malibu. The brand is often described as combining Marfa's creative spirit, Malibu's laid back lifestyle, and clean Scandinavian design. The shop portion of Maaribu is beautifully styled, featuring furniture, décor, books, and gifts that have a modern flare. All the items are easy to peruse and get drawn in. The use of color is playful and engaging. Maaribu's key highlight is its café and bakery. The in house café has an assortment of coffee, wellness beverages, and dedicated gluten free baked goods. I bought a Rose honey latte, which was divine along with a multi-layer pastry. Mable said customers enjoy the quality and flavor of the pastries...scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites are frequent favorites. Importantly, the café is reported to be fully gluten free, which makes it a standout destination for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, without sacrificing taste or variety. The outdoor seating and patio area add to the charm, making Maaribu a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on a nice Austin morning. After years in Austin, I finally discovered Maaribu--a modern, eclectic coffee shop and store. Every item is thoughtfully curated, blending a home-and-gift shop with a café and bakery for a relaxing experience.
