I stopped in while putting together Christmas boxes for my out-of-town family and was blown away by how easy they made it to shop small in one place. I was able to find all local products without hopping from store to store including honey, candles, baker's chocolate candies, magnets, t-shirts, and so many other amazing Nebraska-made items. Everything is thoughtfully curated, beautifully displayed, and genuinely high quality. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming, and it feels really good knowing that every purchase supports local makers and businesses. It's the perfect one-stop shop for gifts that actually feel meaningful and unique (not just filler items). If you're sending care packages, building gift boxes, or just want to support Omaha-made products, this place is a no-brainer. I'll absolutely be back not just for the holidays, but year-round.

Most of the scents are too sweet for my taste, but I love the Aromatherapy shower gels and foaming soaps. Every few weeks the prices are right and that's the time to strike. Yesterday I had a BOGO offer and wanted to get two shower gels. I had the offer on my phone, and when I got up to the counter I managed to lose the email and it was going to take a couple minutes to find it again (I'm not the most screen-adept user). The cashier saw what happened, and said "It will take forever to get that offer back with our signal. I'll just give it to you." Well done.

Because my wife loves all kinds of smells, soaps, mist sprays, lotions, etc., she always drags me to B&BW during mall visits, so I've slowly becoming accustomed to the nauseating lemon-hibiscus-mimosa-ocean-breeze scents that assault you upon entering. This is kind of huge for me because I can barley stand the candle aisle at Target. Beyond all that, the employees are pleasant although checkout is annoying, especially if there's a line. And definitely go for the sales -- there's always a sale.

Immediately, I was asked my favorite movie, food, and musician. I landed on Macintosh which is a lovely scent, and this is where we get to the fun part. She helped me print out a photo of the Josh Hutcherson Whistle video on the front of the candle without question. We were giggling the whole time. My friend and I both got free room sprays (which ALSO smell great) I love it there so much and my whistle baby candle will live in infamy. Thank you Yankee Candle.

I had the pleasure of being assisted by Elm when I visited Yankee Candle this week. She was…read moreabsolutely wonderful and I can not help but to mention her because she performed above and beyond my expectations. First she assisted me with finding the perfect gift for a coworker. Then, she pointed out the incredible sale (40% off), which encouraged me to load up on more candles for my personal stash. Additionally, she pointed out the amazing savings with the items in the back of the store that were 50% off. Finally at checkout, she registered me for more savings, gave me another coupon to use with my current purchase and loaded my email inbox with even more savings at my future visits. This all was an amazing experience because I love to feel that I'm saving money (LOL). I went in the store with the intentions to spend a certain amount but with her excellent sales skills I spent 4 times as much and I don't feel guilty because of the amazing savings that I got. Of course they have lots of great quality products and an incredible amount of inventory in store. But most of all the customer service was incredible. I will definitely be returning very soon to use my generous savings coupons that I revceived in my email inbox. I look forward to excellent customer experience along with amazing savings very soon.

DO NOT ORDER FROM POTTERY BARN. TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE EXPLAINED IN FULL HERE (It's making me feel…read moremarginally better to blast them and this story all over the internet). I ordered new bedroom furniture in October, to be delivered in November. First the delivery date got pushed back to December. Then February. Then APRIL. I called, they refused to do split delivery and were holding 2 of my items (a nightstand and a dresser) until a bedframe shipped from overseas. Late January rolls around, Bedframe is actually here! Wow yay it's not April yet, later than I initially thought but this is ok! Wrong. We scheduled a delivery time and I took all my old bedroom furniture out of my room and took off work to meet the delivery guy. But no one shows up. Weird? I call Pottery Barn, they say delivery should never have been scheduled because they'll only deliver once an entire order can be delivered, and 1 of our items is missing. Yeah yeah the bedframe I know, but I got a notification that it came in and we could schedule delivery now? Turns out the bedframe is there now - but the nightstand (that has been there since October) is MISSING. What?? PB said they'll do some digging and get back to me. 2 days later.... no one got back to me so I called again. Nice lady tracks the nightstand to a different warehouse and said give us 7-10 days then we'll reschedule your delivery. 10 days pass ...... crickets. I call again. Different nice lady tracks it down and gives me the exact same answer - at a different warehouse, give us 7-10 days. At this point I said no thanks just cancel the order. They said so sorry, we'll give you a discount on your upcoming PBK order (a separate order scheduled to come in March). I said thank you, that's the least you can do. Now it gets worse...... are you ready? Nice PB lady #1 put some notes in my profile about how PBK needs to give us a discount for this whole ordeal. Nice PB lady #2 adds more notes to my profile reiterating yes, these people need a discount. PB lady #2 gives me the phone number for PBK and says call them, they'll get you sorted and make it right. I call...... PBK says sorry, we can't give you a discount. PB is a "separate company" and can't do that. I said ok F you guys, cancel this order too I'm just. They say great, we'll give you a $4K PB credit! I said no, that's unacceptable I want a full refund to my credit card. They say ok we can give you a partial refund, you'll still have to pay the shipping costs (despite the fact that my order hasn't shipped yet). I took this all the way up through multiple managers and never could get my shipping costs refunded. Long story short: I almost spent $10K at this company in a 6 month period. Now they will never get a dime from me. Hope the $400 they kept for my "shipping costs" was worth it for losing a lifetime customer. Don't order from PB or PBK. Don't make the mistakes I did.
