We were trying to find a gift shop to help commemorate our trip to Raleigh. It turned out to be a…read moredifficult feat. I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

Gingham and Posh is a magnificent store! I have adored every gift basket Elizabeth and her…read morefabulous staff have ever made. We have purchased gift baskets for birthday presents, get well baskets, gifts for wedding guests and party favors. The gift baskets from Gingham and Posh are always the favorite of every party!

Do you not really cook and yet want guests to compliment your 'cooking' when entertaining?…read more Be like me, and come here to pick up only the best curated cheeseball and cracker mixes, popcorn and nut mixes, and cocktail mixers...because no one needs to know how easy it was on you. Also they sometimes sample out a mean rum punch, y'all, and I want the recipe. Meanwhile, you end up browsing the plethora of goods, from floor to high ceiling, and your teen thanks you for her new buttery soft socks and you come home looking fabulous in a faux fur poncho you never knew you needed. They even carry oil paintings from local artists, one of which is now a delightful addition to our holiday decor. I also noticed a nice university gear section - we just have to figure out what side we're on. Whether you're for Pack, Heels, or Devils, there is a particularly posh selection of college gifts here. I like their people too. They'll hold all your stuff for you when you came for one thing but keep browsing and picking up more. The owner is like that classy auntie who's more fun than you and knows where to get all the good stuff, so you don't have to. And they gift wrap! Bottom line: This store makes me happy. Go visit and sample the spicy crackers.

My friend and I visited this store for the first time while passing through Raleigh. I decided to…read moretake a picture of the inside to show my mother, as I thought she would like the store and recommend her coming. I'm not sure if she was the owner, but an older lady walked up and asked if she could help which I responded no, that I was just shopping. She proceeded to ask if we were "shopping or just taking pictures", then walked off. They had a lot of cute things, but I did not want to give them my money at that point. The attitude and comment was unnecessary.

We had some time to kill and were looking for a non-chain coffee spot. This one was close by and…read morehad great reviews. So we decided to give them a try. We had a little difficulty finding it. GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

I decided to try this out for a quick coffee stop while in town for a conference. The service was…read morefriendly and quick! I tried the breakfast bagel bites, which were soft and warm. I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

Quirky, fun and maybe a like vulgar but that's the fun!…read more Great little shop filled to the ceiling with local gifts. Great option for someone who is hard to shop for. Funny signs or female empowerment and I am ALL for that! Parking is out front but it is limited.

If you're looking for quirky, unique gifts, this should be your first stop, especially if you want…read moreto support local small business. They have a little bit of everything...Taylor Swift themed items, lots of cards made by artists, candles, soap, CAT gift items, baby gifts, and more. I don't think you'll find a lot of what they have in a Target, so your purchase will definitely be a fun one. I will say they are fairly pricey, so just be prepared for that.

Was out antique shopping & stopped in. They did have some antique but kinda like mixed with a…read moreboutique style store. Had a lot to look at. I myself brought a few things home with me. Friendly service! Stuff in all price ranges.

What a great local gem!…read more We love supporting local businesses and this place has numerous local vendors - very similar to Cotton Company in downtown WF. A mix of antiques, signs, crafts, a lot of candles and a small bit of clothing. We bought a vintage magazine - fascinating to read about life in 1940. The lady who was working there was extremely helpful and friendly. There are a few buildings to go in - you'll find chalk painted furniture as well as paints, more antiques, local bbq sauces/T-shirt's, and more. Definitely a spot to grab a unique gift for someone! Prices were very reasonable, too! Conveniently located off Durant, right near the railroad tracks - a little hard to see as it's way back off the Durant but look for the big banner posted out front.

It always pains me to leave a two-star review, but I was disappointed with Triangle Treasures. The…read moreshop is a wonderful idea -- a gift store filled with items hand crafted by local artisans. But it's slimly stocked, and I felt did a poor job of showcasing local talent. I frequent our area's craft fairs, and expected to see the kind of variety and quality I see from the vendors there. TT offers some jewelry, one table of soaps and lotions, lots of baby and children's clothes, baskets. I really-really hoped this would be more like Parts & Labour in Austin -- we could really use a hip boutique to showcase lots of local designers in one place.

After stopping by for a browse, I thought to myself... for a craft store, why so much jewelry?…read more There were some metalwork figures, some expensive carved up baseball bats (of your favorite team), but other woodwork (aside from simple toys) was very sparse. There was way too much jewelry for a crafty guy to be looking at. My daughter thought it was cool, but I left feeling like I had wasted my time checking out a craft store that seemed to be about 80% jewelry 10% tin and 10% other varieties. I wish I had the time to make and consign items for this store, but alas, I rarely have the time to enjoy my woodworking hobby as it is, much less to stress over whether or not I could keep up with any demand for production. Maybe there are too many guys like me out there in the same boat.

Nice local art store. I especially appreciated the self-published books from local writers…read more I really love the vibe of this section of downtown Raleigh and this store just adds to it! I will visit again.

Where can you go to shop and support a local business, local artists and pet a cute puppy? The…read moreanswer is Munjo Munjo! Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Raleigh (next to The Raleigh Times) this corner, spot that has turned over quite often over the years, seems to finally have a shop that is sticking. The owners are locals and always have Munjo, their Pomeranian [**I think**] dog in the shop. He's a scavenger for food! But if he doesn't catch your interest, I know some of the diverse local art will! From jewelry, stickers, pins, clothing [t-shirts/sweatshirts], mugs...the list goes on. I've purchased items for myself and others at Munjo Munjo over the years. A great option for gifts or a little local Raleigh!

I bought an expensive small LED light. I charged it overnight per directions. When I turned it on,…read moreit flickered on and off. I tried a couple of times, and it finally worked. My daughter came by, and I tried to show it to her. Neither of us could get the switch to work. My husband dropped it off less than 24 hours from the time of purchase. The light switched on at the store, so she refused to refund us for the faulty light. My husband finally got her to give us a store credit. I was going to give it two stars but because the store has lovely items, some staff are helpful, and I've made several purchases, I put three. I like to support local shops, but I don't like to give my business to people who don't value their customers.

The owner is older and very friendly; she even invited a kid in a stroller into the store and…read morehanded him a stuffed bear to entertain himself with. Since I figured the kid was probably more of a hazard to the breakables than me, I ventured in behind. This place is shelved to the gills. There was a sale going on the day I went, so women were digging through piles of embroidered napkins and other things I don't yet have a use for. Some beautiful table-top and glassware to be sure, but mostly I felt like I had to be careful not to knock over any of the pretties with my purse. The one thing I felt safe enough to finger was the shelf of pastel-colored wallets, change purses, and passport covers. A nice store for those whose income and lifestyle allow for it.
