Upon walking into the shop, it felt like home. We were immediately greeted by the owner of the…read moreshop, and both of the other employees offered assistance as well in a friendly, well-informed, no-pressure way. The selection of goods is unique, the price is very fair for the items they keep in stock. They have everything from crystals to smudge sticks to body products, a lovely selection of books, some tarot items, other eclectic and interesting curiosities and gift options... and a very cool array of non-alcoholic wines, canned beverages with mushrooms and CBD. They just opened a tea room upstairs which has lots of extra books and a couch that made me want to sit and buy a beverage and read for hours (I can't wait to see what it evolves into). My only regret is that I didn't have more money to spend; it's definitely a 'please just take my money, I want to give it to you' type of place. I highly encourage anyone who has the chance to stop in to do it - even if you just pop in to browse at first, you'll get a warm welcome and such a lovely experience that you'll definitely want to buy something (even the smallest purchase can help local businesses so much). What an amazing place. I look forward to going back as often as I can.

"I'm selling candles, sister." -- Once Upon a Time, Season 1, Episode 14…read more What a cute little shop along Main Street in Highlands, NC. My friends and I walked in to look around during our New Years trip to the area and enjoyed perusing the store. It's small, but packs quite a bit of merchandise and quite the variety as well. I'm not sure if the store has a true theme as there was everything from candles to gift cards to jewelry to some religious themed kid's books - but everything was very nice and mostly well-priced. I will say that the battling scents of all the candles and potpourri-type items they had in the store gave me a bit of a headache (combined with the heat on full-blast), but the staff was super friendly and asked if they could help me with anything. They seemed quite excited to have just received their first review on Yelp and were talking about it while I was looking at items at the front counter (gave me and my friends a smile). I was quite excited to find glass nail files (not an easy find) which were hand-painted - also very reasonably priced. I bought myself a couple and was on my way. Making a mental note for the next time I am in the area as these are great for gifts as well. They also had some earrings that I had my eye on - very nicely crafted. Definitely one of the top stores to spend your money in along Main Street - worth a stop!

The best gift shop in Highlands! "We want everyone who walks in the door to be happy," says owner…read morePenny Chambless, "whether they buy something or not." The music sets the mood, and it ranges from toe-tapping bluegrass to old-timey hymns, all instrumentals using mountain dulcimers and the like. Shoppers begin to smile and reminisce, and memories of older, simpler times often cause a story to be shared. Penny patiently listens to everybody's stories; she says that's what makes her day. She has good merchandise, nothing too expensive, because she knows times are hard. Personal service is her forte, a box, gift wrap, a little extra tissue please. Funny cards cause laughter to erupt and joy seems to spread through the store. There are lots of bears, cute metal signs, bird houses, candles, garden flags, angels galore, journals and note pads, jewelry, and ,"you know, things my regular customers keep coming back for." And come back they do. Over and over they say, "This is my favorite store. We always come to Mountain Heritage when we come to Highlands, and we always find something we like!"

Its also a great place to nab souvenirs for tourists like myself.

I had already gotten my souvenirs a few years ago but it's always no girl can have too many coffee mugs...I got mine in tie dye silicone....I think their prices are very competitive for the quality of items that they offer.
