I shop here regularly and truly enjoy the experience. The Village Store is part of our quaint Main Street area not to be overlooked. You can shop for housewares, local foods, boutique clothing and jewelry, toys, Lake Life and Lake Norman local gifty items, like tshirts, pillows, tea towels, etc. There is so much to look at here, and trust me, you will find something you love! The staff there is very friendly and the store is so well stocked. The prices are very fair compared to other boutique style stores, but I'd say the Village Store has the biggest selection of home and gift items in the Lake area. They have begun putting out their fall decor, and they really have some beautiful displays during the Christmas season. I really enjoy shopping here.

They have a lot of unique items here, too, encouraging lengthy browsing. I was able to find a perfect gift for Christmas, and continue to visit this store every time I'm in Davidson. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, too. I only wish they were open later on Saturday night (like 7 or 8pm) so we could visit after dinner, rather than having to go before. Definitely check this place out of you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else!

Great place to check out while in the area!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, with sincere smiles, free S'mores, and free cups of hot cocoa. The Grinch is in residence for two more nights and waiting to take photos with you. (Also free.) Decor is mostly seasonal and saw lots of interesting re-do ideas for my home and office. The GIANT bells were amazing and totally cool. There were also a good amount of items that would make great gifts for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries: sports team themed items; useful kitchen items; pet-themed wall decor (prints, pictures, etc.) A lot of unexpected goodies here.

I visited Uncommon Sense yesterday because I wanted to support a local business. The store is very…read morecute and offers unique items you won't find at larger retailers, which is exactly the type of business I enjoy supporting. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. One of the most concerning things I witnessed was Connie interacting with another customer's young son. After asking his age, she began speaking to him in exaggerated baby talk and repeatedly making comments about the way he spoke, including telling his mother, "You let your son talk like this?" She continued making comments about how he would talk when he started school. She carried on to the point that the child became visibly uncomfortable and eventually moved behind his mother, peeking around her while Connie continued addressing him. As a parent, it was very difficult to watch. You have no idea whether a child may have a speech difference, developmental disability, autism, anxiety, or simply be uncomfortable speaking to a stranger. There is no reason to belittle or embarrass a child this way. Unfortunately, my own daughters, ages 14 and 17, were also repeatedly followed and questioned by Connie while simply browsing. Every time they picked something up, they were asked if they were buying it and told it could be held behind the counter. They were simply shopping and looking at items while I was browsing on the other side of the store. Connie also repeatedly commented on the basketball players on their shirts and asked questions that came across as very condescending. At one point, I was told she physically placed her hand on my daughter's hand while she was putting an item back and said, "Here, I can help you with that." My daughter did not need assistance. What made the entire experience even more awkward was watching Connie walk around the store and interact as though she were another customer or patron while simultaneously monitoring my daughters. It created an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. We purchased the few items and now as I learned more I wish I would have never supported this place I addressed my concerns before leaving, she acted oblivious!!!! I came into this store specifically wanting to support a local business. Instead, I left feeling extremely uncomfortable and disappointed by the way both my daughters and another young child were treated. Every customer--especially children and teenagers--deserves to feel welcome, respected, and treated with dignity.
