Heres my gift tip for just about every holiday or birthday, a wine related gift from thriftway, card, bag and tissue paper and a nice wine glass or wine bottle holder and then walk next store to the wine store and buy the wine! Everyone loves it every time. Hope this place not only stays around but expands if a store next to it closes down.

In some Dollar Trees, the floors have a yellow, beat-up, hue to them, but in this one the floors pop a bit, which shows that the management is serious about cleanliness.

The views on the other hand are wonderful. The EO logo frames the view of NYC so beautifully. Nice to take a seat and enjoy a sunny day. Found a cute shirt and a nice dress for travel in the sale section at Banana Republic. Got some bathing suits at a store that was going out of business. After shopping, pay your respects at the Staten Island September 11th Memorial. Postcards honors and remembers the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. Look through the wings of the giant sculpture. It frames Ground Zero. Never forget.

I am a huge longtime Warm Vanilla Sugar fan and I could not find it; the personnel explained the line was streamlined and suggested the Vanilla Cafe as a nice substitute. I tried the body lotion and was hooked! Additionally, their Marketing Department keeps turning out unique scents such as their Milk line during the holidays(David Chang, Birthday cake scent). Additionally, beautifully merchandised seasonal displays, currently the Valentines displays are enticing and very pretty. There is also their Semi Annual Clearance sale with products marked down as low as 75%, great time to stock up for you and gifts for friends and family. I use their Lemon scented kitchen soap religiously, my dishes smell so great! As with most retailers, there is a loyalty program and BBW has a nifty one and a nice promotion just for you on your birthday. Very impressed with this location..
