I personally would not be so harsh about this store. It is not 5 stars but I think for the effort…read moreit makes, it deserves 4. We were dining at cowfish and decided to take a walk around the area after our meal. We discovered this store but it was closed, it was around 8:30PM. We thought the glass display of the store was so beautiful that the next day I decided to make a personal trip back here to check it out. I think this store sort of resembles a typical gift shop at an airport. You have your stationaries, UNC gear, glass ornaments and different souveniors. The owners seems very friendly and helpful. The inside is a tad dark but really nothing too noticeable, I think the lighting is darker because the whole store has glass panel walls so it gets plenty of sunlight. I ended up purchasing one of the glass ornaments because I thought it was quite special. Overall, this store is not a hidden gem, but it does serves its purpose and live behind its name as a gift shop well.

I wasn't greeted when I entered. I was in thanked for my purchase not even a smile. Came on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy .This was the first time that I've seen it open since I've been through the area. The hours supposed to be limited. The prices are a little steep. All three drink mixes they were $12 for being there around four dollars each drink mix you can get a whole pack for $12 on Amazon. They do not print receipts and ask for your phone number or email. I hope their system or secure information can be hacked. Hope if you share you do not get a bunch of spam texts and emails just to get a text receipt. Hope your shopping experience ends better than mine.

My husband and I were lucky to score a street spot nearby. The store is rather small with individual rooms so he opted for fresh air while I enjoyed shopping the unique finds.

The staff were friendly and this was a fun store to visit.

They carry a great assortment of jewelry, small gifts, pet items, home goods, and other fun finds. I especially appreciate that they are genuinely dog-friendly.

That kind of welcoming atmosphere makes a difference to me and is one of the reasons I'm happy to support this local business. Also be sure to visit their sister boutique, Betty by Moxie, nearby on Thomas Avenue for women's apparel, children's clothing, toys, and gifts.
