I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

I really appreciate that while I was leisurely exploring the store nobody followed me around, repeatedly asked me if I needed help, or had their eyes on me as if they were assuming I was going to steal something. The only time I had someone in close proximity to me is when I asked questions about their products; furthermore, they just display excellent customer sercive here. I had found quite a bit of stuff for my mother and niece. The clerk even offered to gift wrap my items into a customized gift baskets tied with a beautiful ribbon free of charge. If you're in town looking for beautiful souviners I highly reccomend Uptown Gifts.

I registered here as a bride in the 1980s and they continue to carry a lovely selection of fine china by Herend, Limoges, Mottahedeh, etc. They have updated to modern trends by also now carrying a wide selection of Juliska and more casual chinas that are more accessible and desired by the modern bride. Only store in Columbia that I am aware of that carries the Croghan's Goldbug collection! They even have the newer palm pieces! They also carry a nice selection of medium priced stylish necklaces and earrings. Huge selection of Herend animals in a variety of sizes. They also have a cute children's boutique that is great for that perfect baby present. Easy parking on the street or in lot at back. Support local business and shop at this wonderful store!
