Craftex - The Coolest Store in Houston Tucked onto a side…read morestreet in Bellaire, just off of Bellaire Boulevard near Hillcroft, is the amazing Craftex. I discovered the place through my friend, Greg Buchold. I had been admiring a Mardi Gras mask and wreath that he had put on his door and he told me about the place. I went looking for Mardi Gras stuff but was blown away by the extensive collection of cookbooks and design books that they sell, all discounted from retail list prices. But there was much much more. Just when I think I've seen everything there is to see in Houston, something new pops up on my radar. Check out the photos.

Of course Ross is the go to place for many apparel, shoes, household and automotive needs, but it's…read morealso a great place tonsave money on finds that may cost a little more elsewhere. I found a pair of Converse for $36, which are another shoe store would cost me over $60! Sometimes they are bursting at the seams with cool stuff, and other times maybe not so much, so it just depends. Selections may vary from store to store. But value is always there. Service may not always be the best, so lower your expectations there and you'll be just fine!

To be located in a plaza with other brand stores, I was disappointed at paltry the selections were…read moreat this Ross location. Granted I primarily shop for candles, home goods and specialty food items, the shelves in those sections were bare and I didn't see any food items any where. I assumed better inventory based on the location (and competing retailers alone).

We always end up looking at the painting and artwork section because every HomeGoods has a different selection for those. Service is great because whenever we ask anyone for help, they're very efficient and quick. Value is generally really great at HomeGoods. We got a gigantic gold mirror for our house for like $300 and it's normally $800-$1000 online.

Then ask me to find another one. Excuse me!!! No greeting, no thanks for shopping. Next to her, another counter help broke the register's mirror. What's going on? The store was not even busy at 1pm on Saturday. I picked up so many items from the floor and cleared the path, the back area floor mat, and the area where employees are going in and out. Everything was on the floor. They keep walking over it. It's sure a management issue: they aren't walking or training their employees. What a disappointment from the "Home Goods" workers at this location. The only reason we went there was that it's a bigger store than the Galleria store, which is close to our home. Totally not recommend this location till they work on their management.

They also have the cutest accessories for little girls for only a dollar (bows, necklaces, bags)! And there's amazing stuff in the home decor section for more than reasonable prices. Crosses, wind chimes, huge Texas stars, and various signs to decorate the home! Oh and they also have cute masquerade masks!

Due to Tiktok I was obsessed with Maison Bergers and wanted one. (I have two now!) I saw that…read moreBering's carried them and the scents, so I went to check it out. I wanted to know what the scents were like so I spent some time checking them out. This was my first time in their store. Everyone was some what friendly. Some were great and others were really not engaged and standoffish. The store is definitely expensive. I saw a few things I wanted and will be coming back for later. I was able to find a great Maison Berger (this was the last one and was the display) and since it was my first time I got 10% off. The lady in the gifts/candle section was able to help me with my purchase and decent experience. Might go back to check out new scents and purchase a couple for family.

You can get cleaning products, keys made, children's clothing, books, toys, accessories, fine chocolates, order invitations/stationary, buy plasticware; plates, silverware, napkins, cookware, glasses, etc etc etc On this occasion I stopped in for a few specific items that I needed for the dinner party I was hosting. I sincerely wished that I had gotten the name of the wonderful man, who was working at Bering's and who immediately began helping me find what I needed to buy. He literally walked me around, asking others who also worked there, where to find these items. Of course we ended up in the right section with a multitude of selections which I truly appreciated. I found what I needed and I was a very happy customer! This person's excellent professional service was extremely appreciated. Next time I'm at Bering's I will try to find him, so I can edit this review and add his name so he gets recognized for his over-the-top service!!!

I go here for children's clothes, although, I can't say that I've bought anything for myself. I love it because I always find Red Sox apparel and I've seen tons of other sports teams clothing items for pennies on the dollar. Get on their mailing list and you'll find they have half off days and all kindsof specials. I happen to be there on one of the days when they were holding a special and the parking lot was mobbed. I had to wait for a spot, and I finally got one! If you haven't been to a value Village, I say you just go look around. It's pretty fun and you never know what you are going to find.

The name was Value Village when I signed up...their name is Value World now but I never changed the name in my phone. So the cashier immediately pointed that out..that my phone said Value Village and not Value World..trying to say its two different places. Which its not...only a name change. I didn't argue...I left everything. Wasted an hour of my day trying to meet the criteria for this coupon and they didn't even honor it. I know the real reason why.

They sell their baggu items at retail price, so I grabbed a laptop sleeve that I've been eyeing for a while.

The store was a bit on the pricier side, but it's also just a fun experience to look around. The worker that I talked to was super nice, attentive, and helpful!
