After spending an hour looking around I bought myself a cool ring and standout ornate metal planters for my garden. Also picked up a simple bar of soap that makes my entire bathroom smell amazing after a shower. Their artwork is so eccentric and elegant, it's difficult to choose what you want to take home. Oona and Erick were friendly and exceptional in helping me shop ! Don't pass this place up, so worth the visit.

Though in the last two years I just quickly stepped in to view the adorable, glass Christmas ornaments, there's a lot more. It's one of those cozy stores that carry unique gifts such as socks, tumblers, glassware and more. There's even a wall of pet toys and they're adorable. Some items are pricey. The Christmas ornaments are eye catching. Food ornaments seem to be the trend and Wood's Grove carries a wide variety. Of note: I'm all for supporting small businesses however, I tend to shop at more notable stores whose return policy is beyond store credit. I don't know what their return policy is but when I asked an employee about any sales on Small Business Saturday, her response was " we don't do sales". Excuseeeee me. It was just a question! Despite this, I might be inclined to pop in and buy a gift for my cats--if I remember. Giving 4 stars since the merchandise is attractive. **Update** I made a purchase over the weekend. The store's small space made it difficult to navigate throughout. I found out their return policy is actually store credit. Holiday items aren't returnable. Staff not particularly friendly. I just feel lukewarm about this business.

We ventured over and it's true - I was totally delighted. What a stunning mix of gorgeous items! Housewares, incredible lighting, pillows, some of the most beautiful jewelry I've ever seen, and lots of treasures. I loved all the table-wear and colorful and organic feeling mostly stemless glasses - elegant and practical. It's the kind of place you could stay all day and keep discovering something unique - wow!! The staff were friendly and helpful with just the right amount of interjection.

But it's also a space that highlights artists doing unique and beautiful things (the owner included. She makes many of the things in the shop. Hard to understand someone being good at making so many types of things). It's also a community space; they have regular art classes. I've seen flyers for mini quilting, paper marbling, knitting, and all types of other craft arts. The prices are not outrageous for items that are all handmade. It's worth its own special trip, even if you're not local.

In fact, I recently discovered the shop itself as they hosted an outdoor vinyl sale, inviting other local vendors and collectors to sell directly outside their shop. It was a fantastic event under any circumstances, but in these days in particular felt like an inspired and ideal way to celebrate and embrace a communal NY spirit. I walked away with a nice mug for myself, a couple of surprise early holidays gifts off my list and, of course, some interesting new and used vinyl. And perhaps more importantly, a great day, and a fine new gift buying go-to!

Before I say anything else about this place let me just discuss this: The first thing that I noticed about Berlyn 65 is that the shop smells exquisite! The owner made sure that there is this wonderful aroma as you walk into the place that tantalizes your senses and it made me very content and experience a sense of calm energy. This shop has some real goodies! My eyes were focused on the soft, elegant chair throws! This was so very true that I had to take a picture of the luxurious gray chair throw that is on a chair near the store entrance. The throw comes in a variety of colors and they were valued at $150. The shop decor is delightful which goes with the owner's peaceful energy that I felt was exuded towards me and my coworkers as we looked around Berlyn 65. She was pleasant, kind and displayed wonderful customer service. I will make sure that I return to view all of the great selection of items that are sold at Berlyn 65!
