Good Things is a gem and always a must-stop for me when I'm bopping around White Bear Lake! Every…read moretime I pop in, I find something new--whether it's cookbooks, cards, puzzles, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothing....you name it. The selection here feels endless in the best way. Allow yourself some time because the store is pretty big. I especially love coming here when I need a gift or something Minnesota-based as they always have unique, MN-feeling items that hit the mark. It's the kind of boutique where you can happily wander and browse for A WHILE. I haven't had much interaction with staff beyond checkout, and I've noticed they don't typically come out onto the floor--at least not during my last couple of Thursday visits during Marketfest. That said, checkout has always been smooth. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good browse through a thoughtfully selected mix of finds! Also, highly suggest joining the rewards program and checking out the clearance section while you're here... there could be some great deals tucked away!

We stopped in to the Good Things store while visiting White Bear Lake on Monday morning. This is an…read moreamazing store! I would definitely call this a "must see" boutique. There are 3 parts to this store and you owe it to yourself to experience them all! I started in the style area, which is the clothing part of the store. This is an upscale women's apparel store, with habitat, Liverpool, Johnny Was, and many other upscale brands. All of it is beautifully curated and displayed. You will have fun browsing the racks. The sales associates were super helpful and knew exactly how to interact with people--making customers feel welcome, but not pressured to buy. Downstairs, there is an amazing sales area. Don't miss this gem! Bargains galore and beautiful things! I'm sure it changes regularly. Then stop at the cafe and have a coffee, pastry, or freshly baked cookie. All the treats look and smell delicious. The staff was very sweet and service was prompt. After that, continue shopping at the Good Things gift shop. This is a top notch gift shop the likes of which I rarely see. It is brimming with themed displays for almost every interest or occasion. If you can't find a gift here, you may never find it! Seriously. You can wander in this shop for an entire morning and still not see everything. I hope you stop by Good Things. It's a fabulous shop. Locally owned. Go there for your next gift.

When I travel, I usually try and find the first quilt shop. Especially since I am traveling to the…read moreMidwest from California, I want selection and ideas. I love going into quilt stores and getting my creative juices flowing. Not only was the owner extremely polite and professional, she pointed out things that I could do with the specific fabric I had chosen. One of the things I had chosen was a panel of fabric. At that point, I have never quilted with a whole panel, so I had asked her, "Well, what could I do with a panel?" She said, "Anything you want really!" Then she proceeded to show me 6 or 7 different quilt patterns that use decorative borders for panel items. After she had shown me the quilt patterns, she suggested that I cut into the fabric and that there are so many more things I can do with it, if I was more comfortable with that quilting approach. She assured me that anything I make from it would come out great. One of the larger print fabrics I'd purchased had giant dinosaurs on it and she suggested I make pillow cases. Again, let me reiterate that I truly love when someone gets my creative energy flowing and that is exactly what she did. She gave me so many ideas and I'm working through them all. She even showed me something I could do, if I didn't want to use the instructions for the quilted book fabric, that I could cut the squares out and make sure they match the following pages and sew them into a quilt. She totally got me thinking out of the box and into so many different realms. Upon leaving, I'm now counting all of the wonderful things I can do with the yardage purchased. I can't wait to get home to my sewing machine and get going on these projects. I would recommend this shop to anyone in the area and within an hour drive. I would take the classes offered and feel that this was an incredible ambiance for creative energy to flow. It is also particularly great that there is so much space and room in the quilt shop. You see that each of the walls and nooks is adorned with beautiful quilts and you start going through each one, wondering how long it would take you to do.

I cannot recommend White Bear Lake Jewelers enough, especially their master jeweler, Ben. I wanted…read moreto upgrade my center stone, but because my ring has a unique two-sided tension mount, multiple other jewelers told me it was impossible without destroying the ring. Ben was the only one who found a way. He removed the original tension setting entirely to create a blank canvas, then molded and recreated a brand-new tension setting from scratch specifically designed for my new stone. He managed to do this while keeping the rest of my original ring exactly the same. The result is so seamless that it doesn't look like a modification; it looks like the ring was originally designed this way from day one. Because my ring is over 20 years old with numerous side diamonds, Ben performed a full inspection and caught several issues I hadn't noticed. He secured loose stones and corrected a faulty previous repair, fine-tuning the piece until it was objectively a brand-new ring. Ben was also a great partner in sourcing my diamond. I was very particular about the specific grading specs I wanted, which made it challenging to stay within my budget. He navigated the search and found the perfect stone. If you have a complex vision or a sentimental piece that needs expert care, go see Ben. He exceeded all my expectations.

They treat everyone like good friends and it's a big reason why I keep coming back. They have a huge selection of products as well as plenty of promotions and deals that make shopping there a breeze.

Buyer beware! This shop sells VERY expired Vapes (ELFBAR brand) without making it clear to the…read morecustomer they are expired. On Jan 9, I purchased 4 ELFBAR vapes and discovered later they were 18 months and 28 months EXPIRED. I called the shop, spoke to a female who identified herself as the Manager, and I requested a refund. I also pointed out that in the State of MN "Vape shops are NOT allowed to sell expired vapes". She refused to issue me a refund, and then went on to say they WERE allowed to sell expired vapes as long as they tell the customer they're expired, and the customer agrees to purchase an expired product. I told her they certainly did NOT advise me these were expired, nor were they displayed with any signage within the display case indicating these were OLD and expired. This is clearly a case where the business knows they're engaged in deceptive practices and even when challenged, they're unwilling to do the right thing or even back down from defending their deception. Buyer beware.

My eye ware provider couldn't help so I checked local jewelry stores. Most local jewelry stores couldn't help. One wanted $75 for this "rush job". Joel B Sherburne Jewelery was fantastic. They realized my situation and understood that I need my glasses. I dropped them off for a few hours and they charged me $30 - much less than a new pair of glasses. The repair was excellent and the service was top notch!!! It's hard to find quality service but they exceeded my expectations.

When covid came about, we missed out on over a year of shopping and supporting our favorite place to shop. Please support small businesses. This is a awesome place to shop, and they have soooo many things to choose from, most of which is hand-made. Furniture, signs, candles (just tried 1803 candles) and love the smell, jewelry, you name it. They always have a awesome selection of seasonal like fall, Christmas, Easter etc. when that holiday comes around. Sweet little stores/shops are hard to find, and there is something for everyone's taste. Jeff and Carrie are the real deal. Nice, hardworking people. If your looking for nice wood cabinets, made from real wood, not mdf, this is the place to go. We just bought our second one, and love it. Keep it local. I wish I could go there every week and shop!! : )
