Oh, and the décor is very nice! I personally really like the Earl Grey Spring & Mulberry date-sweetened chocolate. Of course, the packaging is so pretty it's hard to separate that from the taste and texture, too .... The honeys here are like none other I've had before! The absolute cutest little honey bears I've ever seen! There's one raw honey in a glass jar that's the only chewy honey I've ever tasted -- what a treat to eat a spoonful of that plain, direct from the jar, mmm! (I didn't just eat it for the taste or texture, though -- I started to eat it because I'd read about the great health benefits of honey!) I really really enjoy the smokiness of the Russian Caravan. Plus, it's fun to research, read and find out about such things as how this rather unique tea flavour came about -- that it was the result of actual campfire smoke flavouring the tea in the first place while travelling across Russia way-back-when that is now encapsulated in this oh-so-tasty tea! Tea is a really great gateway to learning about various cultures and world history! Maybe it's his-tea-ry! Persian Rose Garden tea is splendid -- mellow and rich, smooth, calming (I'm not saying it's medicinally calming, but rather that it's evocative of a certain atmosphere that may make you feel a certain way if you tune into it.) Turmeric ginger is very nice, too .... Overall, aesthetically beautiful, palate-pleasing place! Highly recommended!

They definitely have a large selection, but I would like to see more products with people of darker hues on the bottles. I purchased a bracelet and decided to return. I was told I couldn't because of the spiritual nature, which makes perfect sense. Needless to say, I kept the item and purchased more. I will definitely return again.

I was…read morenot prepared for such a huge selection of unique and hard to find things as well as More day today items. The prices seem to be reasonable as well. , I would only hesitate to get five stars because many items did not have marked prices like the votive candles. And even though my friend and I were the only people in the store, no one ever greeted us or asked if we needed any help. And there were two people behind the counter. Not a huge deal and I enjoyed my visit nonetheless!

Ladies...you need to treat yourself…read more Three body oils and a candle later, now I'm obsessed. It just got here. I literally just received the shipment after taking a shower. We all know as a woman that the best time to apply oils is after a shower. The Vanilla Chardonnay is different in the best way possible. There's nothing cloyingly sweet or overbearing about it. It smells a little like cough medicine in the bottle but woody fruit on your skin. Like oak and berries had a baby. Jasmine Black Sea smells luxurious without being overbearing or tacky ::cough::OPIUM::cough:: The anise shines and even though the description doesn't have anything remotely salt/marine about it...it's there. It's the combination because even with the fruit and warm notes there's still an element of freshness. The Fig Oud & Amber smells like something you'd wear to a gathering for your coven. Sophisticated coven. Upscale coven. Coven that runs the Upper East Side or the swankiest hotels. Jasmine Black Sea is my absolute favorite, followed by Fig Oud & Amber, then Vanilla Chardonnay. The Mountain Pine & Cashmere candle smells heavenly and it's only been under the warmer for about 30 minutes. Would I purchase from here again? YES. YES. YES. *****UPDATE: the oils lasted through a long walk outside, a workout, and dinner with drinks. Came home and took a shower, did NOT reapply, woke up and I still smell good. Skin literally feels like butter and even my car smells nice. I'm hooked.

As you go inside you see all these amazing things inside . Some apparel, Miniature religion statues and other figurines. They have mugs stuffed animals stationary and other gift items for all occasions. Sometimes carying boxes of chocolates and more. In the back ig the store they have hallmark cards for all ocassions. But firvfuture reference they should carry DVD Movies od all the hallmark movies that we see everyday on TV the hallmark movie channel . This is a great place to get together when getting something special for families on all occasions and holidays and more. It has a friendly and community oriented atmosphere. But I wish they wouldn't make their jib applications so difficult to fill out . I wish they make it easier so people can get jobs there . There are only three locations left . Olney , Rockville, And Germantown , Maryland. We have to support these stores while they still exist before they are gone forever . These stores are dying because of too much internet access stuff instead if goung in person ro support . Hallmark stores are becoming endangered almist like animals tgat sre disappearing from existance .

Did you ever have a friend that you have trouble finding the perfect birthday card for? Well, I do…read moreand ever year I wander through the aisles looking for the perfect card. Hallmark, by far, has the best selection of greeting cards. I have a huge thank you to Shanti. She patiently helped me find just the right card. It was perfect. Shanti was so nice and patient. We looked at a Lot of cards. But, we finally found a Quill card. That is artwork made with string. I feel a little dumb, because I didn't take a picture of the card, before I sent it. But, it was beautiful with butterflies and flowers on the cover. Thank you, Shanti. If you need a special card or gift, I highly recommend this Hallmark store. The prices are a little higher, but you get well made and unique items.
