When I think of Cuyahoga Collective, I think of a more upscale version of Cleveland and Ohio themed merchandise. From beautiful art to clothing and home decor, for me, this is the pinnacle of a Cleveland themed store. They carry unique themes of local pride amongst the merchandise. For example, as of December 2020 they have a super cute Parks collection portraying nature gems. You can even find coffee, cigars and jewelry. They are always changing their merchandise out and always have sales online and in their immaculately organized store. Seriously, this place just makes me so happy! I'm always drawn to their art though, which is modern, sleek and makes reference to Cleveland history. As a boater, I've loved buying different nautical themed items here. From "Don't Give Up The Ship" mugs and stickers to sailing art prints, I've bought several lovely gifts here for other boaters and sailors in my life. You can always count on the Cuyahoga Collective for a beautiful, classy and well-presented gift that celebrates local while supporting local! They will not disappoint you!

I recommend you take time out of your day wherever you are To come by on Madison Avenue stop in and visit this place. They have a ton of prints from local cities around Cleveland, decorating ideas and anything you can think of. It's also just a really cool set up as far as a lot of different local things you can buy and view.

What a wonderful Annual pop-up shop!!…read more This shop is open during the holidays in December so it is perfect for doing Christmas shopping. December 2025 was the first time that I attended and even knew about this shop. I'm so glad that I got to visit this store. If you are reading this review in early or mid-2026, be sure to bookmark this page to remind yourself to visit in December 2026. There are so many gift items to purchase from candles, cutting boards, cards, coffee, etc. I browsed for a while but ended up not buying anything as I had to get back to my apartment to host my Vision board event. Customer service was awesome. I'll be sure to come early in the Christmas season in 2026 to buy something. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 59/365 total reviews in 2025 - 840 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 December 2025

Flower Child is a thrift store in Lakewood. The store is currently having a closing sale (70% off…read moreeverything). They will be opening in a new space in November 2025. In its current state, Flower Child is walking into a retro basement that has decades of treasure! LAYOUT/INVENTORY: The store has two levels with multiple rooms of treasure. Both levels have similar merchandise - home goods, kitchen tools, some furniture, abundance of accessories, clothing, vinyls, and some interesting international decor. Just when you think you ran out of rooms, there are more rooms of treasure to browse. I especially loved the basement. Every room is a treasure hunt! If you wear petite sizes, this is a treasure trove of vintage clothing. You'll find tees, dresses, sweaters, and pants. The clothing is casual and functional. Check out all the clothing rooms on the main level and basement. VALUE: The discounts on merchandise of 70% is a great value. However, the initial prices are quite high considering the quality. Some of the clothing and items are very well loved. I don't see myself paying full prices for the items to be extremely honest. SERVICE: The staff was very nice to customers during checkout. There was a lot of excitement about the upcoming store move. They staff was always very busy. Personally, I wanted to ask about the pricing for a folk pin I was eyeing. There was no one to ask so I eventually gave up. I'm sure the service is more attentive during the regular days. PARKING: I was surprised to find a pretty large parking lot at the back of the building considering the location is in Lakewood. Amazing if you're carrying home a lot of treasure. I would recommend Flower Child to guests who enjoy digging for treasure. You definitely need maybe an hour to focus on each room without getting overwhelmed. I look forward to checking out the layout of a new store!

Wild Iris Home is the hidden gem in Olde Avon Village. It feels like I constantly ask friends…read morewhether they heard of Wild Iris, and they don't know what I'm talking about. Time to tell the world after visiting Wild Iris a few times now! AMBIANCE: Wild Iris is a two-story building that features multi-room shopping on the first floor and event space on the second floor. Both spaces are tastefully staged. You can really picture how the items would look in your own home and get new decoration ideas. The store is comprised of multiple rooms with an assortment of home decor. There is no particular separate theme (such as housewares in one room). There is a kids room, but other than that every nook has home decor, clothing, skincare, jewelry, housewares, and more. It's fun to walk around the space and look for treasures. The event space is available for rental for events and photoshoots. During my last visits there for shopping and entrepreneurial events, the event space had industrial chic look and plush couches. The space was very presentable for a professional yet stylish setting. There were plenty of spaces to sit down and network. I'm not confident whether this space is decorated for the holiday for your photoshoots or events, check with the venue. INVENTORY: The inventory looks refined and expensive. Yet there are plenty of finds under $40 for gifting or self-splurging. The store has seasonal gifts for every occasion. The store currently has ample Christmas inventory - decorative pillows, Christmas ornaments, faux gingerbreads, Christmas China, deer decor, and more. I'll be returning to shop for two cool things I've seen and reflected on. One, Christmas ornament for White Elephant exchange. Two, paper Christmas decor ($30 something). The latter is a very cute set that will work for my decor. I have a cat, and he loves to take down and nibble on decorations hence paper trees. SERVICE: The service is always friendly. I always get greeted with a friendly attitude. PARKING: Olde Avon Village has ample parking, multiple parking lots. It is a little challenging to find the entrance to the plaza, watch signage closely. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: You can make a day out of your visit to Olde Avon Village and Wild Iris. There are plenty of places to eat and entrain! I recommend Tree House Gallery and Tea Room, or Chez Michel for a warm beverage and lunch. Both are in the same plaza and within walking distance. I recommend visiting Wild Iris for decorating your own home or gifting. You can get gifts for multiple people on your list at this store. The store really has one-of-a-kind and gorgeous items!

Although I have found some gems here in years past. However, the owner does not convey good customer service or friendliness. Nor a good attitude. There was a frame that fell off the shelf because of how it was poorly displayed. Even though it wasn't my fault, I paid full price for the item's breakage ( without being asked to) and left ample money for the glass repair so there should not have been the attitude. I even bought a small item. This didn't placate her. She was more than rude about an accident that was clearly the vendors fault for poor merchandising and display practices. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I would not ever frequent the shop again because of this persons open hostility. She needs anger management classes.

I visited Sweet Lorain thrift store in mid-August 2026 from the recommendation of my Russian friend…read moreto try to sell my mom's fancy old hats (hats to wear to a party, a horse race, a British high tea event, etc). The owner, Redwin, stated that he couldn't buy my mom's hats because he prefers much older hats and he already has a 7,000 collection of hats (WOW!) which is fair, so I wasn't mad about it. Not every store can accept items to sell. I saw the store's hat collection and it's a LARGE collection. TOO MUCH INVENTORY (in my opinion) -- Everything is crammed in this store. I browsed around the store before I left and I was amazed as to how much inventory is in here. I even commented on the inventory and the owner stated that he has no real method of keeping track of everything which is a bit concerning. While the owner is really nice, the store is too packed with MANY items. The experience walking in feels a bit overwhelming especially because some parts of the store are not neat. It is even hard to walk through the store as some of the spaces between racks are tight. I'm sorry to say but this store looks like a junk yard with some very old and used items. MY PURCHASE -- I bought a white cotton hat plus earrings. The hat cost around $25 and the earrings were around $14. I realized later that these were slightly overpriced. When I got home, I noticed a stain on my hat and I also noticed that one piece of the earring is a bit flimsy (loose). I'll try to remove the stain off of my cotton hat but it looks pretty permanent which isn't ideal but it is a nice hat. The store sells clothing (tops, pants, jackets, dresses, sweaters), cups/mugs, hats, and other random things. Many items don't look new so I'm assuming some are used items. I prefer an organized store where the racks are not overflowing with items and where items aren't very old (some look like used items) so I probably won't be back. If you like thrift and vintage stores then feel free to visit Sweet Lorain at your own leisure. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 178/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1019 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 August 2026
