I love this little store! The other day I had wall sconces on my mind but, as usual, when you're…read moreactually looking for something, it can be rather hard to find. I wanted sconces that would hold taper candles, not the electric sort that leave you having to hide the trailing cord. So I decide to run to Sweet Magnolia to replace a candle that had recently burnt out completely when, lo and behold!, there is the most gorgeous pair of gold-leafed wall sconces hanging right before my eyes! This is why I love Sweet Magnolia - you can find such elegant pieces here when you least expect it. I also appreciate that their prices don't put a huge dent in your wallet. $58 for the pair? I'll take them! The store also carries the greatest soy candles ever by Aquiesse which last a rather long time and come in several delightful fragrances. They also carry an array of other home goods - Forte teas, place settings, bath and body products, stationery, baby gifts, and jewelry. Definitely a great little shop for finding last minute gifts or a treat for yourself. I've seen similar items at other stores like Anthropologie for twice the price, so why not patronize a local entrepreneur instead?

The owner is super friendly, is willing to walk you through ideas, willing to give her opinion, she was awesome. You can also bring your own clothing and have her attach the patch herself.

Coats, scarfs, tanks, patches, stickers and bags this is the spot. Not to mention the owner was so nice and friendly. I went in for patches and there were so many to choose from. I left a few behind that I wlll definitely go back for. Great place to make a custom piece for a gift for yourself or someone else.

I was just in this store. The price tag on an item I purchased was $22.99, but I was charged…read more$29.99. I realized this AFTER I purchased this item. Something felt off with the total so I reviewed my receipt immediately upon exiting the store and I caught the error. I immediately went back in and showed the cashier my receipt and the price tag on the item and requested I be charged what was marked on the price tag. The cashier went and checked with someone in the back whom I assume was a manager of sorts. I was told that the prices were put on earlier today and that the "new" employee must have marked it wrong so they would not honor the price tag. I am so confused and shocked. I cannot believe a company would pass along their admitted error to the consumer? Not to mention, a violation of the weights and measurements regulations in PA, and throwing their new employee under the bus to boot? Terrible, short-sighted business practice. I am local to Bryn Mawr with 4 young children, and this was my go to for children's gifts for all occasions. I will never shop here again.

Yes I know there is plenty online but I'm pretty old skool when it comes to toys, I like it better shopping in a brick and mortar stores. I found it amusing to touch the toy before buying them. After promised my little girl her toys, I went yelping. Didn't find anything nice until scrolling thru pages. Lucky Duck toys stands out the most, especially with the playhouse that was in store. The moment we enter Lucky Ducks, we were welcome warmly, the ladies at the cashier were super friendly. My daughter couldn't decide what she wants so we were at each aisle over and over again lol. You know the best part? Bet every parent experience this. The ladies that worked there, didn't have any annoying look or smirks or anything like that. I would definitely go back there. P.s. No private parking, there are meter street parking. The in store playhouse is closed bc of the pandemic.

Their store houses different handmade items such as smoked dresses, afghans and oven mitts. 90% of the items are for infant/toddlers. It is a great place to buy a baby gift for a newborn. They also have a line of hand painted ornaments that have different Philly views such as Valley Green and the Liberty Bell. Again, great gifts. The best thing about this place are the owners themselves. They are so sweet and friendly. Stop in and say hi and support their small local boutique. And tell them I sent you!

I stopped by here on Friday night for their Ladies Night Out event that was advertised on Instagram. The admission was pre-paid online and was about $17. Checking in once I arrived was easy. I provided my name, received a wristband and was free to roam around and shop. The businesses inside sell beautiful and personalized gifts that you can't really find anywhere else (except maybe Etsy). There's also an area in the back with cookies, cakes, pies, sourdough bread and more. For the event specifically, they had a few tables set up with small bites. Soft pretzel nuggets, cookies, chips and salsa/corn dip, and quesadillas to name a few. You were entitled to one drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, with your ticket, too. I ordered a pineapple margarita and it was delicious! I wasn't looking for specific gifts since I already had everything I needed for Mother's Day. I ended up purchasing two cake pops (one Funfetti and one lemon) and a decorated sugar cookie shaped like a flower. The cake pops weren't eaten until yesterday and held up nicely. They were flavorful. Everything is reasonably priced, too. There is an abundance of Philadelphia sports teams merch which would be perfect for your baseball, football, basketball and hockey lovers. Additionally, I got my aura photo taken by Inner Light Aura. The photographer, Brinlee, explained the different chakras and why the colors in my photo were what they were. I had a combination of blue, violet, magenta, tan and white. At the checkout register, I was given a card that they sign and date every time you come in to shop. You get a discount after 10(?) visits, which is really nice. I highly recommend The Shops on Mill if you're looking for special and carefully curated gifts!

Also, the people are so friendly and happy to help with any and all your needs. This place is a little more on the pricier side but the quality of these homemade goodies is a hundred percent worth the hype.
