I was in need of a $25 gift for a brunch on Saturday and had been procrastinating. I had some time…read moreon my lunch break to go to Chick A D's and it was the best decision I could have made! The minute I walked through the door I was greeted by a friendly employee. She asked how she could help and I told her what my pricepoint was and that I was open to anything. She told me all the Christmas merchandise was 25% off. They have some really cute Christmas stuff (home decor, pajamas, etc.) I told her I wasn't picky. She asked me if I liked Volcano candles? I said YES. They had the three holiday candles to choose from. The green sparkle candle is alpine pine, the gold sparkly candle in pumpkin, and the red sparkle is the original Volcano scent. I love the original and red is my favorite color, so I was sold! With tax it came to $27. I have paid $40 for a Volcano candle at other local shops. This was a steal, and they had it gift wrapped and waiting for me at the checkout while I browsed around! Seriously wonderful customer service. I should note, this was not my first visit. My first visit I was exchanging a charm my friend got for my when my dog passed away. The staff was so encouraging and sympathetic that day. I just can't say enough about how great the service is! Oh, and they have an awesome selection of baby items. I was checking out the Jellycat stuffed animals and the Mudpie onesies. Good prices on those and great selection. I will be back for gifts or for my new little one!

I was told I only had 24 hours to come in and pay. It wasn't classified as a clearance but rang up as one. I was told that it couldn't be retuned due to this. The bag was handed to me closed. I would have liked to have been shown the item and even thanked for the purchase. Hopefully it fits because the price was good.

This shop is amazing for garden and outdoor lovers - and that doesn't mean you have to have a green…read morethumb and enjoy growing things, just appreciate creating a relaxing, pretty spot to be. You'll find a large variety of each item you'd expect to see (as compared to the patio section of your typical retail store) such as planters, bird feeders, rain gauges, stone figures, water features, artwork, etc. They also carry several items for memorial pieces - stones, benches, chimes. A few live plants are available but this isn't a large focus of the shop. While I think most pieces look like quality items, I struggled with the pricing. The options weren't different enough to convince me to spend the extra dollars, especially when it'll be outside in the elements and may not last several years.

Secret Garden is such an adorable garden/home decor shop!!…read more When you live in a tiny apartment like me you're not really into home decor, but I still love to look through it and see what I can find! Secret Garden offers even more than that too - gifts, soaps, baby stuff...all kinds of cute items! The women who work here are super sweet! Two of them came up to me offering help, also mentioning the store was having a 'birthday party' the following day with cake and wine for customers. This is a great place to browse if you love home decor, especially for outdoors!

I came to Taste of Kentucky to buy postcards. There are very few places locally that sell them so…read morethis has been my go to location. I'll be factual that each postcard , the standard 4" x 6" size, cost $1. There is no discount for larger purchases and to be frank I never questioned it in the past . I would just pick out a dozen cards and pay the price. I roamed the store for cute KY items I could enclose in some greeting cards and decided everything was a little over priced or didn't suit my fancy. I left thinking I would recommend this store to out of town guests that wanted Kentucky memorabilia. After leaving Taste of Kentucky I went next door to the Hallmark Store to pick up some greeting cards. Upon check out to buy my chosen cards I asked if they had any postcards. They accommodated me immediately by bringing a stack to the front counter. There were many of the same postcards but a few different choices. Since I was standing at the cash register I asked how much their postcards were. Most were 30 cents and the highest price one was 79 cents. I stocked up with an additional 18 cards. Sorry Taste of Kentucky you have lost me and my recommendation to others as the place to buy postcards. Even when I'm at a tourist location on the Atlantic coast beaches or in San Francisco, CA postcards standardly are far less expensive than Taste of Kentucky prices. You need to rethink your price or lose customers.

It strikes a good balance of having plenty to look at, but not becoming overwhelming. The items for Thanksgiving and Christmas were nicely included in the shop's current offerings and matched the rest of the decor perfectly. It sounds simple but I think stores that can do this really understand who they are, and have an eye to make it happen. In the back of the store is a small workshop. They will soon be decorating trays, teaching how to apply transfers and stamping holiday bags. If you enjoy these opportunities for creativity, follow their social media pages for updates. The coolest item that caught our eye was a vinyl rug. You can select from a variety of designs and it's easy to mop clean. We're intrigued - it would be great for our foyer where muddy shoes come through.

I saw a top advertised online. They would only allow the purchase to be made by phone or in-person. I ordered by phone. It was packaged for me when I arrived. I was encouraged to take it in the bag "to keep it flat." When I arrived home, I noticed a damaged area on the front of the top (sold as a "vintage t-shirt"). I returned it but was provided with an excuse about why it would be damaged. I was also only given the open of a store credit. With a purchase of almost $100, I would have liked a credit card refund. When questioned, I was told, "That's just how we have always done it." The store employee followed up by asking if I needed a particular product that they sell. No apology at all. In all honesty, I wouldn't have returned to this store without the credit. So there's that.

We were at a D56 signing event and purchased a ton of houses, one of which we were told to come back and get later, for it was a retired display. I forgot...this was 4 - FOUR - years ago. Popped in this past December to pick up a Snowman house that my daughter wanted, and sure enough, they remembered me, mask and all. They brought out my house, faded receipt, just waiting on us. That's honest business. For that alone I will always shop with this group. Again, staff is friendly and knows their product. I have referred countless folks to them and will continue to do so.

I'd describe this store as a boutique catering to women with clothing, jewelry and home decor; however, they do offer children's items and a small area with men's personal items. I was excited to see various Duke Cannon soaps. My husband loves this brand and I grabbed one to save for Father's Day. Another area made for anyone is the kitchen area with decor and food items, including hot jellies and seasonings. For me I picked up a small jar of honey to go with cheese and crackers. I also snagged a glass marked "The Good Shit" which I'm keeping for my best friend. He'll appreciate the humor and having his special glass during happy hour. I experienced friendly service and watched others get the same. I shared my email and phone number for specials and promotions. I loved that they offer gift wrapping, regardless of the items size or price. I'd picked out 3 small gifts and that look nicely put together. This is a great perk!
