What a great little shop to visit before heading to a movie at Marcus Theaters or heading to dinner…read morewith friends. The shop is jammed pack full of trinkets aplenty. A couple corners are stocked with local items to Syracuse and created here. The items I loved were very funny and sarcastic.... Just my vibe! The shop was clean. The clerks were polite. The price was a little steep but worth it for the joy these gifts would bring someone!

A super cute, funny place to get memorable gifts for all! A little on the pricier side, but…read morehonestly worth the variety that they carry and having access to shop around. They're often switching up their inventory which is great, and they make their own candles (hence the name) super great place to find local favorites, especially for out of state/tourists/relocated loved ones who want a piece of CNY! Very friendly staff, I love how they'll bag up your order if it's a gift!

Ended up parking right in front of the store on our visit to Skaneateles. It was so cute and…read moredecorated for the Fall that it beckoned you in. Loved all of the scents and could have easily bought the store out. Unfortunately for me I could not get downstairs due to healing from a fracture but probably a good thing for my wallet... LOL !!! Looking forward to going back. Prices were reasonable and I left with a bag full of goodies. Looking forward to using them

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. Worth checking out!

We love the seasonal items such as reindeer food my children love picking up during Christmas time. If you have the time an are in the area definitely stop in, so many gift ideas. Another perk is that you can order online and get items shipped! The owners are wonderful ladies and have made their shop so cozy and inviting.

Cute little gift shop with local Ithaca merch. I picked up a magnet, and they also had prints,…read moreshirts, postcards, and other fun items. One unique feature is the upstairs printmaking area where you can choose a plain shirt from a big selection and a design, and they'll stamp it for you. Very cute, artsy, and a bit hip.

Sunny Days truly captures the spirit of Ithaca, just like I've seen mentioned in other reviews. The…read morestore is absolutely adorable, and I love that they have an upstairs and an additional section selling Ithaca-based merch. I visit every so often when I'm in town simply because of how cute it is. I was happy to see they sell some local products, like a hot sauce I previously found at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. Their book selection is also charming - I spotted a bathroom check-in book for guests to fill out, which I thought was such a fun idea. If you're visiting Ithaca and looking for local or homemade goods, Sunny Days is definitely the place to check out! :)

As outlet centers go, this one is OK, but as stores in outlet centers go, this one is great. I…read morethought it was a candy store at first glance, but when I went in, they had all sorts of really great gifts. This place is tailored more for women, but I got all my Christmas shopping done for the girls in my life in August! Candles, bath and body stuff, great cards, cute pet stuff, gourmet food, gifts baskets, and sinful chocolate, this place was great. They also had a really cute cafe as part of the store so after that I went to go have a scone and a latte (both great). I can't wait to come back closer to Christmas when they have even more deals

Well oiled machine here! Staff were attentive and helpful. Wide selection of scents to select from…read moreas well as containers. Sundays there are 2 for 1 mimosas! Products are 1st class; not cheap but worth it! Food not allowed which is understandable with the need for clarity when choosing scents.

If you haven't been to Scents By Design to make your own custom candle yet... what are you waiting…read morefor ?! Well hold on, you can actually make body scrubs and hand soap now too.. I had no idea ! It had been years since I last visited, so I was really excited to go back with my sisters. Staff welcomed us, we got some drinks and had such a fun time sniffing all the endless possibilities we could create. Once we had our fave lists together and sat down to create the scent... I ended up not loving mine. Even with their help and some tweaking, I just wasn't feeling it at all, which was a little disappointing for me. I did end up finding a happy medium in the end.. and honestly I was having such a good time with my family that I didn't let it bother me anyway. BUT when I picked up my candle the next day... I was completely blown away !! The scent had mellowed out and smelled way better than the day before. Like it was basically what I was looking for ! I guess sometimes it's just like that. So if you're not loving what you made... just wait until you pick it up and give it a sniff then. I will definitely be back now that I have my list of favorite smells and cant wait to make another.

Brought my mother here recently to have a pre-Mother's Day shopping trip & was pretty immediately…read moreastonished when I walked in the door and saw the inventory available - as well as organization of the store, decorations, and gardening tools/supplies. I also found the prices to be really reasonable, especially for some of the more uncommon offerings. I found some fairly unique succulents that were priced in the $3.99 - $6.99 range. A friend of mine had also asked me to look out for Thai Constellation Monsteras (becoming less and less rare, as it's the new "fad plant", but still), and I found a couple different sizes... all seemingly in proportional cost to what you'd fine at a big box store, but of higher quality. My mother ended up finding a pretty sizable hibiscus plant that perfectly reasonable in cost as well... and she stocked up on plenty of veggie & herb plants, including some heirloom tomato varieties that are hard to find. All their items are in really wonderful condition - nothing browning/crispy/dying, and I don't think I saw a pest (fungus gnat, etc) or anything the entire time I was in the store. Honestly, everything in the store just appears lovingly cared for. I'll definitely be back on my own, and my mother even said we should make it an annual tradition to visit here before Mother's Day and stock up on plants. Sign me up!
