I am not sure how the owner Jackie pulls it off but she does. I have bought Mahjong gifts there but mostly I just like to be there.

The women working there could not have been more friendly and patient with me and my 5 friends. I am the only one in the group that plays mahjong so luckily the shop provided free Apple Cider Margaritas and they were all in! Lots of cute mahjong related things and I dove right in. So sorry I didn't visit on a day that they were actually playing mahjong. That's on Sunday. Real southern hospitality!

Everyone working is so rude and unfriendly. They don't greet you, they don't say thank you and it just doesn't have that cozy neighborly feel like it used to! Even my eight-year-old noticed how cold the staff is ! Their products have done nothing but skyrocket in price as well! Today will be my last visit after the rudeness we experienced at checkout! I'd rather go to Home Depot and buy plants for a third of the price and you can get the organic soil on Amazon for half the price ! At least at Home Depot they are friendly and they smile and you don't feel like they are judging you! :)

It was hard not to want to buy up everything but in the end I settled on a new pottery book. I chatted a bit with the woman behind the counter and she was so welcoming and friendly. This spot is everything I want a shop like this to be.

If you need a specific color of M&Ms for an event such as a wedding shower or party, this is also the place to come. At the counter, you can buy chocolate covered everything- pralines, Oreo cookies, rice krispy treats, truffles, the list goes on and on. They sell weigh-and-pay candy and offer every candy imaginable, including classic favorites and sugar free candy. The candy is expensive- five pieces of pre-movie candy cost over $3. If you want packaged candy to snack on, you're better off at the grocery store or gas station. They carry seasonal candy, so chocolate bunnies are popular right now. Be sure to eat your chocolate bunny head first, so he doesn't watch his body get devoured.

The minute you walk in you are not greeted pleasantly and basically just looked at. There is a nice selection of different things that you could buy, which is better than the stores on either side of them but again anybody that works on any of those stores are just not friendly. I bought myself a nice Charleston magnet for the fridge and that was about it even though there's a nice big selection of different magnets and trinkets and bottles and anything you can imagine that has the name Charleston, South Carolina or Isle of Palms on it . The value is pretty much meh and the magnet I bought that was very cute was about 1099+ tax and all that. I also don't promote some of the stuff that they are selling at the store such as African-American items that deal with slavery or Trump supporting items that I don't believe . If you're looking just to buy something and get out of there check this place out I mean Amazon probably has it for cheaper.
