Super fun store, filled with awesome gift stuff, and cards, and home stuff. Lots of things to make you laugh, things for home, local love stuff. Tons of jewelry--looks local made as well. Staff was fun and friendly. Love seeing these kinds of shops when I visit a new place. It helps you take the pulse on what's hot and hip in a local area. Way dig it. read more

Deco Raleigh is a really cute fun place to shop. One of my best friends recently moved away from Raleigh for work and she is rather homesick. I went there looking for a 'Raleigh' gift to send her. I found just the thing! Her husband proposed at The Art Museum and there were plenty of handmade items featuring parts of the art museum. She said receiving my gift in the mail made her whole day! You will find something for everyone on your list at Deco. read more

Great place to find quirky and cool gifts for friends, and a lot of local, Raleigh-memorabilia types of goods if purchasing as souvenirs or something to celebrate/remember the city by! Slightly hipster style with a Southern twist. read more

Cute little decorations. It's a little pricey but I enjoy looking around. I love their little local corner of the store where you kind find Raleigh/ Durham inspired merch. read more

Seriously--if you can't find a gift for somebody here, you should probably get rid of them. This is a completely quirky wonderful collection of things, from the most beautiful glassware to 3-D printed jewelry to lovely NC T-shirts and caps to Anne Taintor flasks and soaps and perfumes and silly little whatnots. Awesome staff too. Very pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable about the stock without being intrusive. read more

Every time I go to Deco I find something new, and I pretty much have to resist buying everything in sight whenever I walk through the door. If you're looking for a cool gift to get someone (especially something NC related) Deco is the place to go. Shirts, toys, mugs, jewelry, books, and stuffed animals are among the numerous items they carry. They have stuff for people of all ages, and a lot of the items are made locally. Their greeting card selection isn't extensive, but the cards are great. I usually try to buy a few when I'm there just in case they aren't around the next time I come in. I also find myself wanting to play with the children's toys. Definitely going to get a few things from here once some little B's are on the scene. If you can't find a gift for someone (including yourself) at Deco, you probably won't find them one period. read more

I didn't even know about this cute shop until this past weekend at the Sparkscon event in DTR. I went in to browse as I was waiting for my food from the food trucks, which was parked on the same street as Deco. They sell a lot of neat knick knacks from like hand lotions to books to jewelry. I didn't buy anything, but I thoroughly enjoyed looking around! read more

Love the new location! Free easy weekend parking right across the street. The offered me a mimosa when I walked in. Nice! This location is so much bigger which naturally means there is twice as much stuff to pick through! The staff was super friendly. A must do for gift shopping! read more

I LOVED this store. In fact I loved everything inside. The pillows alone are worth a look. I did purchase a locally made T-shirt for $25 and I love the way it fits. I wish I could find more t-shirts that fit the way this one does. Cool ceramics. Lip shit. Housewares. Check it out. read more

I had seen many pictures of their eye catching sign on Instagram and had even passed the store once or twice, but I didn't go into it until yesterday. And man have I been missing out... this store is great and quirky. I immediately was overwhelmed by all of the items and bought several of my friends gifts and will be returning soon to buy myself some of the items too. They have things ranging from home decor, to stationary, to funny socks, to patches and just all sorts of little items. I would definitely recommend it! read more

SUCH a great little shop! Whether you are looking for unique cards and stationery, beautiful jewelry and handbags, or really weird and awesome housewares, you can probably find it, or a bizarrely cool version of it, in this store. The staff is always sweet and friendly, and they offer a frequent shopper program. As a bonus, they regularly bring in new stuff. Where else can you buy a zombie cribbage board, a wineopener shaped like a mustache, a terrarium, and an inappropriate greeting card all in one stop? It's fantastic. read more

I love, love, love this store. It's a little pricey, but that doesn't stop me from stopping by whenever we visit Raleigh. My favorite? Socks!!! They have the BEST socks, so quirky and funny! I always get some for my husband and son when I'm there! Please support this great little store!! read more

What a cute one of a kind small shop with such variety. I purchased NC shot glasses - love all the NC stuff they sell plus such fun thoughtful gifts for pretty much anyone on your list. We did call and got a time to shop a short time later, that sure helped on a Saturday. Definitely will be back for some more fun gifts for friends and family. read more

This place has everything. Seriously. It's a bit overwhelming. It's colorful, filled with local crafts, and some items you might find in a museum gift shop. Puzzles, candles, maps, and prints. It was pretty busy, but I was able to get the help I needed. I purchased the cutest sticker books for a friend's son, stocked up on cards, and found a cool pair of earrings by a local maker. Really friendly staff, and they gift wrapped too! read more

My go-to store for birthday gifts, cards for all occasions, and any other trinkets and locally-made items! Love the staff, very unique products! Love that it's so close to my job and home - Deco will always be my favorite DTR store! read more

Reminds me a lot of Cameron's, my fave local gift shop; but much smaller. Still, the place is jam-packed with gift ideas from funny novelties and books, jewelry and scarves, to small housewares and home decor items, plus a kids section in the back. Also, a pretty collection of silk ribbon and boxed card sets to get the finishing touches on the gift you're giving. That said, the owner told us the day we were there that they do complimentary gift wrap as well! Items that are locally made are well-labeled so you can quickly ID stuff that supports hometown artisans. read more

Deco Raleigh reminds me of a privately owned Spencer's from the flair and attitude of the products and their imbued taglines. They have a unique range of essentials from atomic cocktail shakers to designer business card holders. Their prices are reasonable and I could spend hours here browsing around. I ended up getting a present for our office Secret Santa and it went over very well, fulfilling a running inside joke. A humble shopper could stop in to shop for any occasion! If you are in the downtown area, make sure to stop in- you'll get plenty of personality and view a few things you've never seen before. read more

This is a cute little shop that sports both quirky and handmade goods -- almost like a local Urban Outfitters, but less corporatey. Products range from snarky cards to cool, incognito tampon holders (yes, I said tampon). Prices are in the cheap to expensive range, depending on the type of goods, so be sure to check the tag when you're browsing. My neatest discovery was the Boylan Bottling Co. glasses made from the actual bottles -- a perfect gift for a faraway friend who previously resided on Boylan Avenue (she LOVED it)! read more

A cluttered shop of all the coolest things you never knew you needed (probably because you don't need them, but who can resist a coffee cup that reveals a tiny squirrel at the bottom?!?). Great place to buy quirky gifts for your friends (or yourself). read more

It nice to have another cute shop in downtown Raleigh besides Father and son :D. This place is a hipsters delight all the fashionable papers, pens, nick nacks, and lighter your little black rimmed glasses can handle. The owner (who I believe to be at least) is so sweet and kind despite her resistance in allowing me to buy this amazing green chair that is in her shop ( I completely understand though I could never let it go). The prices are very reasonable perfects for that special someone you've been looking for the right something for. read more

This is a really cute store! Hidden treasure in Raleigh. They had a lot of pride merch which was nice. They also have an awesome collection of buttons. If you're into nifty little gadgets, with super friendly staff, this is the place for you! read more

Deco is an adorable little shop! They have gifts for everyone and when I have trouble picking something out the staff is more then happy to help give me ideas! read more

Adorable little store in downtown Raleigh! I am glad I finally made it in. I could spend hours looking at all the quirky, hilarious, fun items here! The customer service was very good too. This is the perfect place to pick up a funny greeting card, some Raleigh themed items, candles, trinkets, gadgets, etc. I can't wait to go back and stock up for the holidays! read more

I just stopped by Deco for the second time this afternoon. They had a ton of new, fun items in the store. And to top it off, I met the owner, Pam. What a sweetheart! You can tell Pam is very committed to shopping locally, which I love. I'll be back! read more

This is a really fun gift store with a lot of unique items. They have Fishs Eddy stuff which I love. It's so nice to see fun stores popping up in downtown Raleigh! read more

Great gifty shop :) I go there a lot. They have an awesome selection of NC/Raleigh shirts, nick-nacks for any occasion and a great friendly staff! I could buy the whole store. Downside? It's tiny and cramped, but with an awesome selection and lots of customers, what would you expect? read more

So many fun things in this store! Even if you don't buy anything, it's still fun just to walk around. The staff is inviting and extremely helpful. read more

I don't usually come here with an item in mind. Sometimes I come when I need nothing, just to see what they have and buy for a future gift. I love the neighborhood candles for the Raleigh city districts. They have a good paper/card selection, as well. And some cute baby/toddler gifts that are a little different than your typical. Eclectic and different with a local feel. read more

Fantastic store for browsing - with a collection of unique raleigh-themed gifts. It's a mix of funky modern museum gift shop wares and sweet items by local artists. Very colorful. read more

I can tell you exactly why I love this place. It's an eclectic mix of local and unique items. You can find a variety of gifts you won't find anywhere. Personally I use this store to by cards for correspondence. I can find stuff most people do my have. However they also have kitchen items, clothing and gifts. I found a guest book for your bed once. People have to sign in. The staff is always super accommodating. It's also always positive to shop local. read more

It had funny quirky things but it's just not my kind of store. If you are looking for a funny gift for someone you can probably find it here. They also have candles and soaps and cards but I didn't think it was anything special. read more

Deco is one of my favorite stores. It's absolutely perfect for gifts, quirky items, and local wares. I love being able to support local artists and encourage retail activity downtown. The store is a bit full but I think that just means they should expand! They're also opening a home goods store I am beyond excited about. read more

Great downtown shop filled with quirky gifts for kids of all ages. Great spot to find postcards as well.

This place is wonderful! Great place to pick up local trinkets, cool jewelry, and unique gifts. I always find something I like. I'm a big fan of their greeting card section, I can't stop by without getting a new one for my collection. 100% would recommend for all your gifting needs, especially if you're a gifter that likes to pick up a little something for themselves too! read more

I was recently in Raleigh for my first time on business. I stopped by Deco to buy a gift for my wife and children. Hannah was super helpful with picking out the ideal gifts. Your store is awesome and so is Hannah! Too bad I can't bring Hannah back to New York with me in my pocket, but I'm not sure she'd fit haha. read more

This store had the cutest one of a kind merchandise. Bought some wonderful birthday presents for my BFFs. I will be back next year when we return for the Raleigh 70.3. read more

Really fun place to shop! Lots of fun and unique items. Old posters etc. My husband even like it which is unusual. Highly recommend. Items a little pricy but it is local so I'm ok to help support. read more

Really great store for finding gifts for people. The only problem is that you will not be able to get out of there without something for yourself! Owner is great and kudos to her for opening this store in DTR. read more

Awesome little shop, been walking by this store for a few days and decided to stop in, cool little gifts, and candies too

Nice stuff but extremely overpriced. The kind of things you will buy people for christmas but really has no true meaning so it will just end up in a closet or box for decade before considering taking it to Goodwill. I found the staff rather rude. Mostly because I was wearing a backpack, I was asked to leave my bag at the desk. There was no please in the conversation. Simply, "would you mind leaving that bag at the front desk?", in a darted fashion. I am a student traveler, new to the area and my experience in Raleigh felt somewhat ruined by this. My bag is my life. In the moment, I was going to abide by leaving my bag at the desk, given that I was already in the shop for 3 to 4 minutes along with that sense of someone hovering around you, like a fly with a ton of eyes. But suddenly it occurred to me. I am am a minority, not your typical average folk to be wondering around the so called area. But I forgot to mention my fellow student and companion who was also perusing the store with me. He is common folk and his name is Kevin. With a saddened face, I left the store half pissed and half defeated. I waited outside for Kevin for a solid 5 minutes. Now given that Kevin has a 'twice the size' backpack then I do, and was in the store for 8 minutes total, as he comes out, with a smirk on his face, says "that was unfair". I simply ask "did they ask you to leave your bag at the front desk?". "No", replied Kevin. We both knew why and we will leave it as that. read more
