This shop couldn't be more adorable if it tried!
I give it 5 stars for being a local small business and for promoting other local businesses. That's awesome and I can get behind that.
The soap is $9 for 5 ounces, except the sea salt soaps which are $11. I was told if we bought 3, we get a special deal- $22 I think. We bought one to try out and see how long it lasts, handmade soap is the kind of thing we buy on vacations, so I was excited to try it.
We purchased the lemongrass shea butter and it's nice, if not a little rough, and has a lovely, refreshing fragrance.
This place isn't cheap for a regular, weekly shopping trip, but everything in this store would make an amazing gift!!!
I was amazed at the array of products- jewelry, kitchenware, candles, handmade bags, notebooks, etc. My favorites that I filed away for future gifts were the beautiful bookmarks and the gemstone nightlights. Just gorgeous! My mom and mother in law would LOVE it here!
At the time we stopped in, a Saturday mid afternoon, we were the only customers. There was an event going on near the square, so I'm sure that may have been part of the reason. It may also be because they are slightly hidden at the corner of their parking lot, next to a chiropractors office off Elm and Congress. They are the next lot over from where The Cupboard was and the next street over from Seven Mile Café for reference.
They are open 10-6pm on weekdays, 10-4pm on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. The employee was friendly and let us know more about the business.
Everything in the store is either made by them or a local business owner. I love places with this kind of business practice and though it's not a cheap gift shop, the pricing definitely matches the quality of the products.
They have a loyalty program- you get a point for every product you purchase. Once you get 10 points, you get a free soap!
I think this is a must stop if you need a gift for a birthday, anniversary or celebration! read more
