There are gifts for people who own pets, especially Corgis since the owners have a corgi themselves. The owners are very nice. We ended up getting a painted portrait of a pitbull made by one of the owners and zodiac sign magnets. They have their own free two lane parking spots that is located in front of the metered parking spaces. This is a good gift shop to check out if you're in the area!

A really lovely little shop in Carolina Beach for anyone who is looking to find some unique gifts…read moreor artwork. The thing that makes this place a notch ahead of a standard beach gift shop is the original artwork by one of the owners: Bob Mather. I was lucky enough to visit when Bob himself was working. What a kind, lovely human being. All of Bob's pieces are absolutely wonderful, and because he owns the store, you are able to choose between prints, cards, and other items featuring his work...AND even some of the original pieces. Many are of a beach aesthetic, but there are others that are geared more towards pet lovers. (Dogs, in particular.) You can't really get more "unique" than original artwork, so this place is a great choice if you're looking for something really special at a very reasonable price point. Although the space is relatively small and the parking looks like it could be a little tricky during a busy season, Bungalow by the Sea is absolutely worth visiting. It's a space filled with warmth; curated with care.

We happened to walk by Threve by chance of where we parked and when I walked in, it absolutely took my breath away with how much I connected with their style. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. The brick walls, the modern rustic feel. AHH. And the owners? THE NICEST PEOPLE. The most down to earth, genuinely kind hearted people. It was so refreshing to hear about the items in the store and see how much they loved curating their corner. Yes, some of the pieces are pricey, but that's what you pay for GOOD solid items. It was so worth it. You can buy so many gifts for people in here, stocking stuffers, birthday- anything! We walked away with a beautiful coffee table and dining room table from Hungarian barn wood. Like what!? We spent a lot but we know we'll keep these pieces forever. I can't recommend this enough.

Whatever room you want to furnish or decorate, I'll bet you a nickel, you'll find something here you'll love. Choose from accent furniture, wall art & mirrors, décor, lamps & lighting, seating, kitchen, dining, office, bedroom and outdoor furniture, jewelry, plants, and more. Most of the inventory is high end, but we found a few hard to beat bargains. We spent just $31 and walked out with a set of two pretty wooden serving plates, a coral art wall hanging, and three distressed white picture frames. We were thrilled with the quality and value of our purchases. An interesting feature of their pricing policy is that just about everything had three prices, so the longer something stays in stock, the lower the price drops. Customer service is phenomenal. We had a wonderful chat with owner Jeannie Bethel, who was a real joy as she talked about her store, where the inventory comes from, and about Wilmington in general. We also had a great experience with Sharon Feiler who rang us up, meticulously wrapped our glass purchases, and chit chatted about the store. If we lived nearby, we'd most definitely be regulars.
