Great little gift shop featuring local artists. I purchased a cheese board with unit conversions…read moreand my friends liked it so I went to get one as a gift but they were sold out. That artist wasn't making more items but the owner contacted someone she thought would be able a willing. I upped it to 2 for Christmas gifts and they were only $40 each. I am very happy with how they look and the materials. This place could be a great option if you have an idea and want to connect with someone who can execute it.

My only complaint, which will hurt the business in the long term, and prompted me to give 3 stars instead of 4, is the anti-conservative merchandise sold at the front desk. This is not something I wish to see when buying a gift for my 1 year old. Keep politics out of business. I will never shop there again. This is a well run business, and clearly the owner puts in a lot of effort every day, thus they are deserving of an A-OK rating.

But I finally made it a priority and am so glad I did. This is a must-visit, whether you live in the area or are visiting nearby. Ravenstone is absolutely gorgeous inside, with the friendliest, most knowledgeable staff. It's an oasis in downtown Lynn. And it's bigger than I expected, with the main shop on the first floor and then an upstairs area selling books, a room for magick items, and space for readings. The first floor has an impressive array of crystals/gemstones, candles, jewelry, beauty, bath and body items, and more. The candle collection is lovely and picked up an exquisite vetiver and tonka candle. I also bought the most perfect piece of amethyst. I highly recommend visiting Ravenstone and I cannot wait to return.

That being said, when I first moved to town I checked out Twilight House a couple times. I found a pair of shorts that I liked and after eyeing them a few times, decided to make the purchase. There were no fitting rooms in the store (at least that I could see), so I had to make my best guess with the size. Once at home and trying them on, with the tags still attached, they were too small. I bought them back and went to the front to ask to return them. The young girl working the register wanted to help but owner immediately started saying in a snappy attitude that there were no returns whatsoever. The best they could do was offer me to exchange for a different size, but even then, the fit was still off. At that point, I was so disgusted at their terrible customer service that I didn't want the shorts anymore at all. Funny enough, if you look at their website, they offer refunds for items purchased online. It would be one thing if just a few people had this terrible customer service experience but if you read through their reviews, about 50% of people have noted this to be the case. I know I will never return to Twilight House and will not take friends visiting from out of town there either.
