    I totally heart this place! Very homey, welcoming attitude and really neat things at ridiculously…read morelow prices. I saw a beautiful raku(?) vase and figured it would be way out of my price range, but I couldn't resist carefully lifting it to have a look. It was under $50! I seriously was expecting the sticker to say something like $350, it was THAT gorgeous. They always have special pottery pieces here, and they have some fantastic jewelry. All right alongside a plastic sushi that will crawl across the table when you wind it up, tie-dyed infant onesies, and... chocolate-covered sesame seeds? Weird and great mix of stuff, and the people who work there will tell you the story behind each and every thing they have...who made it, where it came from, etc. Seems like they carry lots of things from emerging artists, which is something I love to support. I get how it got its name... it's impossible to leave there not feeling happy!

    What an adorable store, with so many beautiful things to admire! We stumbled in here on a Saturday…read morenight when almost everything else on this street was closed (around 9:20 pm). We were so excited to find a store that was open and had such interesting items for sale. Tons of local art including pottery, paintings, jewelry, children's clothes, toys, art for your garden, etc. They have something for anyone in this store. I ended up finding and purchasing two small bags of seeds, in which a local woman had spent time gardening and developing unique versions of plants and then collected the seeds to sell. What?! So cool! Not only does the store have the most unique and beautiful items, the woman who owns the store could not be more friendly and sweet! If you're in the area, make sure to stop by this shop!

    One of the things that makes Northampton, well, Northampton, is Essentials. I started shopping at…read moreEssentials almost twenty years ago, and it's been a staple of my quirky life ever since. It's changed hands twice in my awareness, and just keeps getting better and better with age. This is a design-focused, design-heavy shop, and there are things I can pretty much only get AT Essentials; for instance, they've got a cut-to-custom-length ribbon bar, and some of that ribbon is vintage, and my absolute favorite is the hand-dyed silk. Also, they've got the best collection of Tintin and other European character favorites (like Barbapapa and Babar) this side of the pond. Oh, and the staff is wonderful. Knowledgable, friendly, thoughtful, and creative. Over the years, the cast of characters has changed, but it's always top-shelf. One giant boon: they've helped me put together a gift in no time, saving my bacon on numerous occasions! On a typical day, you can find stationery of all kinds, the indier the better; dishware; rubber stamps; intriguing books (think Chronicle); bath goods; bags of all shapes, sizes, and purposes; clothes and scarves; eight million things for kids, from blankies to onesies to stuffed alligators; jewelry; small home goods; special pens; DIY kits; custom furniture; large sheets of beautiful artisan paper; and a ton of things I'm forgetting. And one other thing about Essentials I am not forgetting, but which I saved for last, because it's my favorite. Essentials has an in-house design and print studio. And they also work with a select group of indie designers and printers who create everything from business cards to party invites. Here is where Colette, the current owner, really freaking shines, in my opinion. There was one thing I wanted when it came time to get married. One. Thing. That one thing was letterpress wedding invitations from Essentials. Colette took us from beautiful nebulous idea to flawlessly-executed product without ever breaking a sweat. I don't know if you've ever worked with people who are about to get married, but we are not always the most poised, cool-headed, or unflappable of people; Colette sat us down in the big comfy chairs and made sketches and phone calls, and really made our family feel like we were the only people in the entire world. Go see what I'm talking about - our invitation is probably still hanging in its golden-framed, green-paper-backed glory. Nearly four thousand miles away now, and I'm still bouncing in my chair as I look forward to my next trip to Essentials, whenever it may be.

    I like this store and their merchandise. The prices are high, as the merchandise is of a high…read morequality. However their store policies are not up par with many upscale stores. We received a lovely gift of several girls garments, however we have a male child. The store manager, who did not have the courage to call us, rather made a sales associate do their work, informed us without a receipt we can not get a store credit. So wonderful Essentials, you made some money from this sale, but you lost a lot more revenue from this here shopper.

    Great2bHome Polish Pottery & Unique Gifts - My latest purchase, and I use them every day. What a beautiful way to enjoy meals and snacks any time (but especially in a pandemic).

    A friend of mine recommended this store and I am glad she did. I needed bowls and the great thing…read moreis that with Polish Pottery you mix and match the patterns. The store had an abundance of pieces to choose from. I ended up buying six bowls which turned out to be a welcome addition to the dinner table. They function as a soup, salad or pasta bowl. Just the right size. The store has some incredible merchandise and is definitely a place to keep in mind for gifts for any occasions including for yourself.

    After fifty years of being Polish, I finally discovered I love Polish pottery. I've bought pieces…read morehere and there, and Great2bHome is one of my top two to shop. The pieces here are different from another shop I frequent, and I love that. I'm into the mixed look, not matchy-matchy. Just my thing. I've found gorgeous pieces here that I love to use daily and showcase at special occasions. The ladies in the shop (one is the owner but the other was equally knowledgeable about the pottery) were two of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met. So engaging and happy. Loving to share info and knowledge and time. Just lovely, lovely people. There's not only a good selection in the main shop, there's also a "gently loved pottery" shop through the lot. Lots of good things in there, too, and all in great condition! What a nice way to offer a budget-friendly start to one's collection, or to expand on one currently started. Since the Covid 19 pandemic, I haven't been able to be back in-store, but took advantage of an online sale. I got three gorgeous medium plates (7-8"?), and they were shipped quickly and arrived with nary a chip or crack. Looking forward to adding to my collection over time! Thank you, ladies!!
