I have never had a bad customer service experience - in fact, they regularly go above and beyond, and help customers create gift baskets that look very nice. Handmade items from area artists, like Lis Dunn, as well as, unique items are cost friendly alternatives from big box gifts. My favorite items are: My #1 favorite item is their fragrance free goat's milk and Shea butter lotion. I have a small bottle I'm my purse at all times, as well as at work and home. It's not greasy, has no smell, and is hypoallergenic. Any of the lip balms, but especially the 24K Honey, which cleared up my dry and cracking lips last winter. Any of the reed diffusers it wax melts. My favorite One Love scents are rosemary, lavender, and chocolate. The unique selection of gifts and cards. You can find a greeting card that's more beautiful and has a more sentimental message, than at any Hallmark or American Greetings store.

They have well known brands such as Brighton, Vera Bradley, Life Is Good, Lilly Pulitzer, Michael Aram, and more! I could go on and on but you must see for yourself! If I lived nearby this would be my go-to for special gifts! Definitely something unique for anyone of any age on your list! Every price range too! And they wrap beautifully and complimentary! The store was so well staffed and everyone was helpful! The owner who I met was also very kind and appreciative of our patronage. A must stop for gift giving!

I love sending thank you cards, Valentine's cards, Halloween cards, birthday cards, get well cards,congrats cards, and most of all, I love sending 'just because' cards. Dont' get me wrong, I like hand-made cards as much as the next cat, but no one seems to know me like Fresh Ink (a line carried by most Hallmark's) knows me. Emotionally. Comedically. I would secretely love to meet the team of writers who come up with their witty and ridiculous cards. The last time I went in, I had a panic attack thinking they had limited their Fresh Ink selection, but calmed down when I found the rest on the bottom shelf. Three cards will run you around $8, though that doesn't include their oversized cards, ones with sound and the highly embellished ones. If you're looking for a deal, the back right corner of the store has clearance from 25-90% off. I've found thank you notes, mugs and beautiful photo frames for excellent prices on these wonderful shelves. To round out a pretty awesome store, the staff at this location is always friendly and happy to help me. Everyone loves getting mail.

From the owner: When we began our business in the Spring of 1985, Finials was a lamp shop selling a wide variety of…read morelamps for the home and offering a large selection of replacement lampshades. After two years, we had the opportunity to purchase our present location. It had been a Scandinavian gift shop for a number of years. As we moved into the new location and after extensive remodeling and decorating, we fell more in love with our Swedish heritage. So, we decided to try something very unusual and combined the two businesses. Over the years, we have added on to the property yet with a concern to keep the charm of the original building. Presently, our 13 room ?little red stuga? is filled with a wide variety of Scandinavian gifts. We shop various markets each year as well as going to Scandinavia in order to offer the best selection possible. Now you will see beautiful handcrafted wooden pieces to the very simple smr (butter) knives - from the fine hand blown Orrefors crystal to the replacement glass for the Danish iron candle holders. We carry T-shirts to hand woven sweaters and so much more. Oh yes, we still carry over 2000 lampshades, carry a beautiful collection of lamps and continue to do lamp repair as well as create a custom lamp for you.

I asked for more information about it and none of the 4 associates knew anything about the product they were selling. I walked around for a little while longer and finally inquired about engraving and the associate told me it was $6 for two words. Came back the next day and bought something to get it engraved, the lady said it was $6 a word not $6 for two. I had already paid so I was SOL. Sales associates don't know anything about the store and fail at communicating. Don't waste your time.
