The shop was already closed for the day but an emergency number was listed which I called and left a message. To my surprise, I actually received a call back from a very kind lady who took my information and spoke to me about what I wanted. She asked me to call the shop the next morning which I did and spoke to another kind and helpful lady. I was traveling from FL to attend the funeral and felt comfortable giving a budget price then asking them to use their judgement in creating something nice for me. When I arrived at the funeral, our flowers were the centerpiece of the guest table. They were absolutely gorgeous and far exceeded my expectations. Can't say enough good things about my experience with Carol's Corner and the ladies who so kindly took care of me.

There was no other staff around, so I just walked straight into the garden and looked around.

I was in the hurry so I didn't check with staff but I'll definitely come back.

So many of our privately owned bookstores are struggling right now, so we all need to reach out and give them as much support as we possibly can. EyeSeeMe, fortunately has a special niche in the market. It has an extensive inventory of books written for and supporting the children of our African American community. Through their success, they now provide and offer books for high school student and adults as well. Today, I attended a virtual book reading co-sponsored by EyeSeeMe and was totally inspired. Before attending the event I shopped the store and picked up a couple of the books being read. Now that the event is over, I cannot wait to give them to a co-workers son. In fact, in the future, I will be doing a lot of gift shopping here for those hard to buy for friends on my list. It will be easy to find something for them here and it will be inspiring. I cannot encourage you enough, please shop local and please support black owned businesses, too. It makes our community stronger. When: February 20, 2021 Why: Virtual Book Reading Event

I realize you have a captive audience but really, do you have to punch the weary traveler in the face just because they have the misfortune to have a delayed flight or are just looking for something to read while waiting to board? A copy of a New Yorker magazine and a candy bar, with tax was $9.54. Really? Holy crap. i'm in the wrong business. Avoid / bring your own stuff. This is ridiculous.

Gifts for all types of occasions - housewarming, bride, baby, yourself! They actually have a large selection for clothes, outside of typical personalization or gifts. I was pleasantly surprised with the large selection! I worked with Margy who was super patient and helpful with all my questions and ideas for personalization. She helped me find the correct item, size, use the dressing room, etc. She went above and beyond in terms of customer service! The wait time was 5 business days to personalize which is very reasonable. I got the call my items were ready on the 3rd business day. I imagine the wait time might vary! They are willing to personalize outside items if they can. I was disappointed but understood that stuffed animals I brought could not be personalized because they were not flat. Similarly, the tricky thing is knowing what can be personalized and how as a customer. Some things are clear or there's samples but lots of items especially for stuffed animals, I wasn't sure. Items turned out as expected and perfectly! They also offer free gift wrap which was nicely done. Convenient location for me as well. I'm excited to come back for future gift needs - and for things for myself :)

I brought in a sweatshirt to be embroidered. I thought it was unnecessarily expensive. Some shops in the mall can do custom embroidery in an hour for about half the price but I try to support local businesses. Then when I picked up my item I felt like the embroidery looked awkward. Maybe I just picked a bad font but it is a cursive and it didn't flow. I'd be willing to give the shop another chance but I'm hesitant to recommend the embroidery. If you're just looking for gift ideas this place is very fun.
