Stumbled across this boutique while walking past it as my friend and I were waiting for our movie…read moreat the Parkway Theater. It was a fun little impromptu shopping for us. There's a lot of fun gift ideas, but I will say the main items are geared towards children or women. I did find a shampoo bar I've been wanting, but was also browsing their cook books and candles. I found a new shop to consider when buying gifts for my two sisters. ‍ The staff were welcoming and nice and they talked up some of their chocolates at the checkout area. My friend purchased me a small chocolate that we enjoyed in the theater - they were right! Very good.

Visited 14 Hill Boutique mid-afternoon on Saturday after a movie at Parkway Theater. Let's just say…read moreit was a first-time score visit. I snagged a seasonal ornament at 50% off and browsed for about an hour (could've easily stayed longer, but the rest of the day was calling). Such a cute boutique with tons of goodies! I absolutely loved ALL the jewelry. It's about a 30-minute drive from where I live, but it's definitely worth the trip, and hey, maybe I'll catch a movie too. The real icing on the cake was Julie. She was so pleasant and engaging and truly made me feel welcome. Great customer service is rare these days, and she nailed it-thank you, Julie! If you're in the area or looking for a fun little field trip, this place is a must. Everything is beautifully arranged: jewelry, candles, stationary & clothing, purses, and toys for kiddos. I'd say prices are normal for a boutique and the quality of everything is great. Plus, lots of unique finds. Side note- I was so zoned here that I completely forget to take photos.

Adorable shop! I feel so happy whenever I can come here. I just learned CorAzoN is dog friendly, so…read morethat's a huge plus and I totally look forward to bringing my pooch here soon. I also learned that the previous owner of Bibelot helped train a lot of the employees here, Goodthings along with Patina which totally makes sense as each of these stores have similar decorating and energy but varying products. CorAzoN sells all the things you never knew you needed. Today I purchased two ballpoint pens, a pet squishy toy, and an adult giant sticker book with over 1,000 stickers. I'm also grateful for the conversion I had with the staff member as I learned a couple of new facts. Enjoy exploring and maybe conversing!

I've bought more than 30 bumper stickers over the years, plus sturdy t-shirts, magnets and buttons to support all of my favorite causes and beliefs! My car is covered in bumper stickers, but I'm always on the look-out for more and Northern Sun is such a great source for these! Great service. Bulk pricing is helpful but even full-price at $3 the bumper stickers are a great deal! Quick shipping. Super high quality bumper stickers that get through Chicago winters intact!

Once again a friend posted a photo of a shirt on Facebook and once again I found it irresistible…read more Here it is: http://www.northernsun.com/Shakespeare-TShirt-(8254).html I ordered it 3 days ago and today it arrived, packaged securely (VERY securely) in one of those little USPS Priority Mail boxes. It took a box cutter to cut the tape and a screwdriver to pry up the end of the box, but despite their efforts I got the shirt out of there! I look forward to wearing it, particularly when we go to Ashland in August. With the shirt they included a catalog and they have a plethora of clever designs. In addition to t-shirts they sell bumper stickers and buttons, magnets and posters, many w/ left-leaning liberal slogans and ideas. Those that aren't left-leaning are of more general interest. Still clever. They have categories ranging from the environment to politics to pets and other non-humans to native, aging and miscellaneous to spirituality and religion. Not to mention science, music and popular culture. Their slogan is "products for progressives since 1979". My kinda place. Check them out and see what calls to you. Priority shipping was $5.95. Shirt and printing quality were good. I'd buy from them again.

(I love supporting small business owners/artists, as I am one myself.) The shop itself is not very large, but there's a decent selection of cute stuff that, for the most part, is thematically congruent with the Minnesota/Minneapolis experience. I couldn't resist a glittery ornament depicting the spoon and cherry statue (if you know, you know!). You'll find things like t-shirts, kitchen towels, wooden spoons/spatulas, chocolate, soaps, wooden art blocks, coasters, puzzles, jewelry, baby clothes, coasters, keychains, postcards, stickers, etc. I am uncertain how much or how often stock changes. Prices were pretty reasonable, considering-- obviously more than cheap junk from China would cost, but also more unique and special!

Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to anywhere! Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" my daughter wore my old jacket from 1979 (in picture) . The nice staff were very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us. This is a must visit if you're ever in Minneapolis set aside some time it's worth every minute!

There is also a coffee & tea section with offerings I haven't seen before that I'm excited to try (I got some of the coffee & haven't tried it yet).
