Update: after speaking management, we nailed down the source of the issue and made a plan for…read morefixing the problem moving forward. I always appreciate when a business takes the personal step to reach out and see how they can make things right. Looking forward to working with them in the future! Look, Communigraphics is a fine local business. My organization has worked with them for a few years ordering branded T-shirt's, polos, and name tags. The quality has always been great and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint is that they don't seem to have a good internal communication structure or complaint resolution system. My organization places our yearly order in January for 11 branded polos. I asked for a quote or order summary and never received one. A few weeks later we asked to add one shirt to the order, because we brought in one additional person. I asked for an updated quote or order summary and never received one. About a month later our order came in- missing the extra shirt. A few more months later our extra shirt came in- but they'd ordered an extra of each shirt. We now have 23 shirts for our 12 members and our extremely small budget is down an additional $350 (because the person who picked up and paid for the order didn't realize the duplication error). This is all okay so far, people make mistakes. I explained what happened to my sales person I'd been working with. She has no idea what I was saying and just left it at "well you can't return branded T-shirt's". I've made it clear that we didn't order these, right? Eventually after 5 or 6 emails, I gave up on her and called the manager. He or she was out, so I had the person at the front desk take a note for them with my number explaining that I had an issue concerning a double charge. A week went by and I called again and had them take another note for any manager to return my call concerning a double charge. I never heard anything back. In the end, we can use the polos next year so it won't be the end of the world. But our budget doesn't carry over- so we've had to cancel other plans because we don't have the funds for it. I could go in and demand to speak to someone in person but I'd had to call off work to make it during their hours. In the end, I'm fine with taking our annual business elsewhere. But quality-wise they were good. Just hope that you don't have a problem because they have no interest in resolving it.

It's hard to go through this place and choose any decorations when you have the time for Christmas, but it's worth coming here and seeing what they got. Plus they have very delicious looking fudge and treats. If you're looking for wonderful Christmas decorations, come here. They have the best I've seen so far.

I loved their selection of South Carolina hats, artworks, household items, clothing, etc. Also, as a philatelist, (one who loves mail) this is one of the few places in Columbia to buy postcards (and they're affordable as well!) They also had a lot of cool Carolina and Clemson merchandise, as well as items that highlight the history of the state of South Carolina. All-in-all, it was a great store, and my only complaint is that it's not its own standalone location! Would highly recommend!

Cotton Mill Exchange is often thought of as the gift shop located within the South Carolina State…read moreMuseum. However, it's really more than that. It doesn't just handle museum related items and souvenirs. Its inventory is related to everything of the entire State of South Carolina. As they state, they've "...explored every corner of the state to bring you the best of South Carolina," and from what I've seen they have done that and then some. It's a really big store and has most everything one can think of that would be South Carolina related and most of the goods are of superior quality, not just cheap Chinese built trinkets. But the best part is the selection. They have everything from jewelry to clothing to home decorator items and the staff is more than willing to assist. It's really one of the better shops I've seen within or a part of any public museum.

Where can you find an authentic taste of Charleston in Augusta? The Surrey Center of course. Okay…read moreit's not a "taste" as in food, but the feel and aesthetics of this store will have you thinking about King Street in downtown CHS. They carry everything you need from stocking the kitchen with fine china to any event you may have on the calendar. Bar trays, wine coolers, honey dippers, sterling silver, and much much more! Handmade products such as soaps and candles are available and then the surprise. They have a floral service as soon as you enter and if you can't find what you're looking for, they can get it for you. It is a great place for gift and personal shopping, but their primary focus is serving as a gift and bridal registry. I wish they had been nearby when I got married. Reward yourself and stop in soon.

What a beautiful experience!!! We drove up from Atlanta to check it out. On our way to the meadery,…read morewe drove through the country and string of small towns and farms. We even drove past a cow having her baby seven minutes from the meadery! We were very much welcomed and greeted by Hilary, who was eager to orient us to the 14 meads on the menu. She talked about which mead we would prefer based on our preferences and palates. She personally poured each tasting and seemed delighted with our reactions, which informed her next choice for us to taste. We had pleasant conversations with the staff and the owner and felt very comfortable in this space. The environment is wonderful, with a great patio for relaxing and enjoying a beautiful day. The mead is excellent, with a range of options from dry to sweet, traditional to creative variations to excite the adventurous palate. They also ship!!! If you are too far to visit the meadery, you can order their mead from total wine, greens, etc.

Augusta Sweet Treats & More is located on Central Avenue. I dropped in with my sister to grab…read moresomething, but we ended up leaving. They didn't have much of a selection. I'm assuming that was because of the time of day. It looked more like a convenience store. They had candy like frooties, twislers, etc. for sale. They also had a few cupcakes and brownies. I have eaten a cupcake before from Augusta Sweet Treats & More at an event called ParTee on the Green and I liked them. However, this visit I didn't get anything. They're located is in the mid-town area and the parking is not great. There are only about 12-15 parking spaces for the 4 businesses that are there. I'll attempt to try them another day.
