If I could give Wrapper's Delight 6 stars, I would! My office building brought in Natasha (who was…read moreso friendly and professional) to offer free gift wrapping services this week, and my experience couldn't have been better. I dropped off my gifts and labeled who they were for, picked from a wide variety of beautiful (and very high quality) papers and ribbons, then a few hours later Natasha texted me with the attached pictures letting me know my gifts were ready for pickup. She even included perfect little gift tags for me to fill out myself! Truly such a genius service - Wrapper's Delight has made my holiday season much better!

Convenience factor- they will wrap your purchases for Christmas or birthday gifts.. complimentary!…read more I recently bought my niece and nephew gifts from here. I was delighted to find a big selection of STEM games/activities, hot wheels, dress up gowns, and sports equipment. The staff are very helpful and will hold items for you at the register while you look around for more. It is a magical store for any kiddo. It is a little pricier than other options but I love to support local when I can and I also love seeing the look on my kids face when they are in a proper toy store!

Wiloe is one of those rare shops that feels curated, not stocked…read more The space leans colorful and a little unexpected--in the best way. It's a refreshing shift from the typical neutral gift shops, and everything feels intentionally chosen. You'll find a mix of home pieces, small gifts, and items that actually feel different. The card wall is a standout--funny, a little irreverent, and far more interesting than the usual options. It's an easy stop for a last-minute gift that still feels thoughtful. And then there's the back "closet"--filled with adult toys and cheeky gifts, done in a way that feels playful, not tacky. It's a fun nod to the building's past life as a massage parlor (wink, wink), and adds a layer of personality you don't see in most shops. They also host after-hours Mahjong nights, which is such a unique touch--small groups can play and shop in a more private setting, which fits the neighborhood vibe perfectly. That's what makes Wiloe work--it doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's still well-curated and intentional. It fits the neighborhood perfectly.

Well curated, local shop that has plenty of unique items for yourself or for gifts. I was able to…read morespeak with the 2 owners, who were very friendly and helpful when I asked if they carried something kind of specific (local cat toys). Sounds like they're always sourcing new vendors and unique items to sell, so you'll find something new each time you visit!

While I'm familiar with the Blakeney Shopping Center, I made my way into Creative by Nature for the…read morefirst time last week. I was a little apprehensive, even though i live and breathe design oriented stores. Just walking in made my adrenaline flow! I saw brands that i know and love and an eclectic bunch of accessories and "chotchkies" that make the store stand out from everyone else! The owners are brilliant with their buying and merchandising expertise and I'm now in love! The store fits in perfectly with the Blakeney vibe and demographic and I hope they grow and prosper for many years to come. What a pleasure it was to see such a beautiful shop and meet and work with some of the friendliest and most welcoming staff. I will be back, for sure!!!!

I have been collecting art for many years now and have never experienced the ineptitude and…read moreunprofessionalism that l have had with this so-called gallery full stop! I purchased a very expensive painting from them and l still haven't received it due to their inexperience! Firstly, their very young employee Emma took it upon herself to send the painting via UPS Saturday delivery! She never once asked me if this was okay and the shipping fees were absolutely astronomical! I use a business address for shipping and Saturday delivery isn't even possible! ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE CUSTOMER FIRST BEFORE MAKING SUCH BIG DECISIONS! I requested a refund for the shipping charges, but Emma refused! Young Emma kept promising me that she had followed up with UPS to reschedule delivery, but sadly, l had to keep following up with her as she never followed up with me directly! I kept tracking the package and there were even more hiccups! The package was never placed on the delivery truck for the supposed rescheduled delivery of yesterday. Today l wait and wait, At 4:37 p.m. l tracked the package again only to find that the wrong address is on the shipping label! Where is my painting? I will never know and will file a dispute with my cc company. Just a warning to please avoid SOCO at all costs for anything of value!

We were here this morning to spend time at Not Just Coffee but once the coffee was done, we popped…read moreacross to the gallery side to check it out. I thought the art was really interesting and some of the pieces I would actually put in my home. Not all of them, but there were some nice ones. It's a lovely space and they have good art. Worth a stop especially if you need a coffee! [Review 12569 overall, 2361 of 2019.]

This is one of the recommended gift shops that came up on a list of must-dos in NoDa if you're…read morevisiting. Located near some other unique gift shops and a spiritual wellness shop, this location specializes in local art and craft goods from the NC area that make for a unique assortment of gifts. The owner welcomed us and was friendly, offering to answer any questions we may have. For the most part I perused the shop and read some of the small placards sharing more information on the artist/creator and their work. I like that these were present near the artist/creator's work as it was fun to read more about them and their inspirations. Prices were a broad range to suit all budgets. While nothing caught my eye, I would consider coming back here if I was shopping for a unique gift.

I love that they carry a wide range of artists with very different styles. Ruby's has jewelry, candles, plants, paintings, shirts, etc. You can find something for anyone here. It is a great spot for some "Charlotte- specific" items as well like paintings of the city or shirts related to the city. Highly recommend stopping by to look around!

We just finished lunch at Emmets Social Table and decided to stop in. It's a very nice shop with lots of unique gifts and supplies for entertaining. There are items for kids, teens and adults. It's very clean and well set up for just cruising and shopping. The lady at the register was very nice and friendly and said they had done some creative things to manage through COVID. If you are looking for unusual and unique, you need to check this place out and support your local business.
