Case in point: Our 3-year-old niece was so happy to have found a piece of sea glass on the beach. She loved it. However, she dropped it and it shattered, leaving her heartbroken. Seeing some children's jewelry on display at Spry Creek, my wife explained the situation and asked if by any chance they had any sea glass to incorporate into a necklace for our niece. The woman said that they did and then took tools out of her bag and began fashioning a special necklace for her right there! The niece loved it and we are forever grateful!

At a time when all other businesses are going cashless, and people are not carrying cash (um,…read morehello, cards, ApplePay etc...), this place accepts nothing but cash. We stopped by with four adults, all needing to get swim stuff for our families, but none of us had cash. So, we went down the street to Timbuck II where we could actually buy stuff. "There is an ATM across the street" yeah, I'm going to get in my car, drive to another shopping center to get cash and drive back just to spend my money. Too much of a hassle. At a time when businesses attempt make transactions as simple and easy for the customer, this place does the opposite. In an attempt to save 1-3 percent in credit card transaction fees, they are actually loosing MUCH MUCH more by loosing customers to other stores that doesn't make spending money such a chore.

This time around I was looking for a straw hat for those day where I could lay on the beach or lounge in the hammock poolside.

Bottom Line: Multiple floors and rooms of shopping delight featuring cotton linens, clothing, home…read moredecor, scented soaps, and lots of other stuff. For starters, I like that The Cotton Gin in Corolla, located in the Timbuck II shopping center, is reminiscent of the flagship store in Jarvisburg. There is definitely something unique and inviting about the big red barn-like building. Back in the day The Cotton Gin had a heavy emphasis on cotton linens but now it is more of a gift store. While most of the store probably appeals to women, I am able to keep my husband busy while I shop. The Cotton Gin sells men's clothing, kitchen supplies, candy and other things that occupies his time while I leisurely stroll the multi-level store. For me, I enjoy taking my time perusing all of the goodies at The Cotton Gin like postcards, art prints, scented soaps, books, souvenirs, home décor, jewelry, Christmas ornaments and such. This is just a handful of examples of the diverse inventory at The Cotton Gin. The Cotton Gin advertises in the Sunny Day magazine so check that out if you are looking for coupons.

Gray's Department Store is one of the nicest clothing stores on the Outer Banks and it has been in business for many decades. The store features mostly clothes for men and women and they sell brands like Tommy Bahama, Olukai, Sperry and Vera Bradley. In addition to beachy clothes and resort ware they have some shoes, handbags and accessories for adults. They also have some items for children like stuffed toys, books and such. Aside from nicer name-brand clothing, they also have some Outer Banks gear. They definitely have a higher quality selection of tshirts, sweatshirts and fleece jackets than any other store. Other items they carry include cards, puzzles and I think even taffy. The store is clean and well organized but a bit picked over in October, as should be expected.

Additionally, it carried sunscreen, lotions, and other health items. I have to say though, the prices weren't that amazing in comparison to some of the other shops nearby. A couple places had two for 10 deals on t-shirts, a wider variety of clothing, more gifts and toys, and other sorts of things to buy at Timbuck II. Regardless, the staff was very nice and friendly, and made pleasant conversation while I was checking out. Additionally, they pointed me to the clearance area in the back, where I was able to find some discount greeting cards. I'd say this place is okay, but definitely explore the other shops nearby!
