A gorgeous little shop right next to Recess coffee in Tippery Hill, Beekind specializes in…read moresustainable and local gifts, particularly their 100% soy wax melts and candles. I previously brought home the Peach Bellini candle and not only does it smell AMAZING, but it lasts so long! If you bring back your finished candle jar they will also give you 10% off your purchase, which is a great incentive for sustainability. They also offer items like a rechargeable lighter, which I'm in LOVE with since it reduces the waste associated with candles (plastic lighters, lighter fluid, matches, etc.). Aside from candles, you can also find various pillows, throws, kitchen utensils, bath bombs, plant accessories, jewelry, and locally made treats... for both humans and pets alike and most are locally sourced brands (e.g., 210 Teas, Syracuse Soapworks, etc.)! This is a great place for gifts, and they even offer recycled wrapping paper! The most charming part of the store, in my opinion, is their variety of bee-themed items. The bee pattern they use on their fabric items is super cute but they also have items like decorative metal bee-shaped wall hooks and, of course, honey. Their wax melts are in honeycomb shapes, as well! If you like to decorate for the holidays, you're in luck, because this shop also offers rotating sustainable seasonal items! Last time I visited, they had picks for Easter, which included items such as painted wooden eggs and ceramic egg trays. Currently they have a gift set for Mother's Day which includes sustainable self-care items from several local brands. Every time I come in there's something new and different! Now my new routine every time I visit Syracuse is to stop by Beekind and grab a latte from Recess next door. One of my favorite places in Syracuse!

One of my favorite local gift shops, still consistently great. I recently bought a car diffuser and…read moreit brought me so much joy for months. Also did a reed diffuser for my apartment and of course some candles. They curate such a lovely selection of artisan gifts that changes throughout the seasons, and the owners are so friendly.

Prices vary depending on the item type, but the goal of offering woman-made products explains some of the markups. Employees aren't pushy about sales which is quite appreciated in such a small store space. It can be difficult to navigate with a lot of customers, so make sure to see how full it is when you head inside. (Part of the reason for the clutter is the addition of a large Seneca Falls/Wonderful Life merchandise section, unfortunately.)

It caters to an affluent client with the means to afforded higher priced clothing. You've gotta know that going in. The ladies who work there are fantastic. They style each piece with a keen eye toward elegance and edgy. I might sleep in the boots I got today. If only I had unlimited funds! Thank you for being here, Jet Black!

But, I can never forget about Jet Black because I get an emails from them about twice a week !! I can probably remove myself from the mailing list but that would require me to open up the email and spend sometime figuring it out- No Thanks....Delete ! The Vince dress I bought it great, I wear it all of the time... probably the most affordable brand they carry at Jet Black. I don't know who their customer is because Syracuse isn't really the most affluent area... at all. And the clothing isn't really appropriate for the everyday life of a Syracuse student. I'm sure SU students keep them in business though with buying a key item now and then ( probably from the sale rack ) because SU students are the only ones who can afford it; well, their parents can afford it.

The staff treated them both wonderfully for the 90 minutes or so they were in the shop. It's alleged that Jeff W. is partial owner, so I know the staff knows their stuff, but having them treat my elderly mother and client so well demonstrates the level these guys play at. 100% better than Larger than Life. This shop is for the "true believers" and "Constant Readers," not just the "Big Bang Theory" popular kids. I even hear Jeff W. has lifted the ban on mentioning who Luke's father is, so as soon as he changes his stance on the Babadook I might consider returning! Thanks, Funky Town! Waylou, indeed.

They know ALOT about the designers they carry and are able to tell you about any changes that could be made to the dress by the designer (amazing!!).
