Here are the types of things you can expect to find at The Cottage Shop: - linens like tea towels, hook rugs and bedspreads - home decor like candles, artwork and Fiestaware - scarves, flip flops and jewelry - drinkware like Tervis, Yeti and decorative wine glasses - Christmas ornaments - stuffed animals and toys for little ones - greeting cards You can also expect a friendly staff! This is a great place to get a gift for someone else or yourself!

Bottom Line: Lots of home decor and stuff for the home at reasonable prices…read more This Home Goods store is located at MP 14.5 in the Outer Banks Mall. It has a large selection of all sorts of stuff for the home like decor, pans, lamps, gadgets, pillows, blankets and bath soaps. They also sell some furniture and rugs. On my most recent visit I was on a quest to walk off my dinner and find a cozy blanket. The store is bright, reasonably clean and has lots of inventory. Shopping here is a bit of a treasure hunt and overall a good time.

Bottom Line: A beautiful home furnishings store with a large showroom…read more I went in here to check out patio furniture but I was immediately mesmerized by the beautiful vignettes of furniture throughout the large showroom. All of the furniture was displayed really well and even if you are not in the market for big pieces, this store has some nice art and home decor. As one can expect, many of the pieces on display are beachy but based on the large room or fabric swatches, I am sure there is plenty of opportunity here for more neutral selections. Also, there were so many wonderful rugs throughout the store as well as a few racks of rug swatches. I really enjoyed looking around this store and the kind staff made my visit even better.

This was such a cool place to visit. Our first time to the Outer Banks during Spring Break and we…read morewere pretty disappointed to find that most stores closed early or were only open on certain days until the summer season starts, which limited our places to shop. We were really excited to see this place open until 6 on Easter Sunday so we rushed over around 2pm to ensure we could walk around and browse. So glad we did! This store is choc-full of unique items, from local artist prints, gems, hand-made pottery, stationery, cards, jewelry, sculptures and art pieces made from repurposed items to garden decor. We can't wait to stop back by when we're in the area.

I also think the name is very cute. Shipwreck is an Outer Banks staple that has been in business for decades. They have tons of sea shells and driftwood. They also have jewelry, ornaments, home decor and toys all inspired by the Outer Banks. For those looking for hermit crabs, they have those too! For vacationers wanting a great beach souvenir shopping experience, Shipwreck is a good place to check out!

Sweet ladies, great artful finds. Some large coral and shells are pricey, but good and rare finds!read more

Bottom Line: A strip mall located at MP 14.5 with some good options for shopping and dining…read more When I think of a mall I think of an enclosed collection of shops but this mall is of the strip mall variety. The Nags Head Mall is not fancy but I do tend to find myself there nearly once a day during my summer vacations. Here are some of my common pit stops: Woo Casa - One of my favorite restaurants on the Outer Banks serving Mexican and Asian fusion. Grits Grill - A reliable stop for an early morning diner-style breakfast Duck Donuts - Always a sweet treat. The Cottage Shop - One of my favorite stores on the Outer Banks featuring high quality beachy decor Ulta - A chain store but I appreciate the convenience of being able to grab some extra pampering products while on vacation Food Lion and the Dollar Tree - Not exciting stops but reliable and practical There is plenty of parking in the mall and stores in addition to those listed above.

There is a ton of inventory and the ornaments are arranged by theme, as shown in some of my pictures. The ornaments are largely the mass produced type that are made in China but I did see a small selection of ornaments which I think are (somewhat) locally made. This store is a great place to shop for ornaments for my "fun" Christmas tree that I string colored lights on and display in my basement rec room. But as far as my "classy" tree with white lights and silver and gold ornaments, I didn't see anything that suited that tree. In addition to ornaments, they have Christmas cards, nutcrackers and other seasonal decor. I left with an avocado ornament that is a great homage to my time in SoCal and perfect for my "fun" tree. The Christmas Mouse is a fun place to browse and to stay cool on a hot summer day.

There's a lot of eye catching pieces, from Fiestaware, to Pyrex, and ruby glass to other glassware and kitchen items. You'll also discover rooms filled to the brim with nostalgic toys and games, dolls and figurine collectibles. One vendor stocks Longaberger, baskets and pottery galore. You'll also find linens, vintage tools, funky crafts, retro clothing, antique jewelry, home goods, artwork, antique furniture, cool lamps, and more! I left with a bag full of cool stuff, some character glasses from the 80's, a bejeweled anchor, some cute metal shelves, a silver sugar bowl with shells, driftwood & an airplane inside, a few books, a mini Barbie, and some garden signs. There was a fabulous gypsy beaded lamp I have my eye on! I just may come back for that piece! This won't be my last trip to this eclectic shop!!
