Today we came across Northern Star and my 14 year old was like a kid in the candy store. To earrings, clothing, jewerly, beads, sage, and incense to name a few things there. She can home with some gauge earrings, and a scorpion necklace. We will definitely be back. We would rather buy her earrings from a local source and not big box store. Thanks for an amazing selection!

I was glad to see it still operating twenty years after I left Corvallis. I'm not fond of being overly watched whilst shopping- which is why I give 4 stars. The worker assisted me promptly when I inquired about jewelry. I love this place and am glad it still exists.

There was definitely a strong scent in the air from the various candles and smelly items (good smelly...!) but it further helped to emphasize the Christmassy theme.

I bought a backpack here and they sewed my son's name on it. It was ready the next day, which was much faster than I expected. It's a cute store with a nice variety of gifts. I think I'll go back next time I need a special baby shower present - lots of cute stuff.

I am incredibly impressed with Occasions. I had to order a plaque for an awards ceremony and Colin…read morewas very straightforward, efficient, and pleasant in taking the order and preparing it. It was ready on time and looked exactly as advertised. The price was fair and clear. But what really blew me away is that 18 months later, when I lost the original receipt and needed a replacement to file a reimbursement (this situation reveals something about my general level of organization), Colin emailed me one within one minute of my asking for it. This is as good as it gets in terms of personal attention and turnaround... they were able to immediately and perfectly compensate for my screwup in losing the receipt. This shop really lives up to a very high standard of personal service.

They had a lot of nice touches like a blind date with a bookshelf, color coded tape in the romance section that indicated how "spicy" a book was, and cute stationary and cards. The blind date with the books were so cute, 25$ each but they come with stickers and would be such a good gift for someone. The books were also reasonably priced and they had some discount shelves. I will definitely be coming back here.

I've never had anything but the friendliest, most courteous, and most helpful service at this store. Even when something's gone wrong (such as a new person not knowing how to do a certain function at the register), the staff has been apologetic and attentive. All in all, I feel like my business is really appreciated. It's easily my go-to place for anything I need on short notice, and many other things as well -- including more than a few impulse purchases! The only reasons I've ever had for going somewhere else for something is if JoAnn is out of something (or doesn't carry it in the first place), or if someplace online has such a good price that even with shipping it's significantly cheaper. Even when that happens, it's not really a complaint against this store; it's just the nature of business. And this JoAnn store will have my business for the foreseeable future.
