Terrific selection of thoughtful gifts, ranging from high-end purses and candles, to jewelry,…read moresnuggly sleepwear, stationery, kitchen swag and cards. Selections for men as well: grooming and soap, flashlight caps, and clever, irreverent socks for everyone. I love coming into this store. It's also a lovely place to get a reasonable "thinking of you" gift for a friend or neighbor. Inventory is contemporary and has a little something for every age: toys for children, rich lotions for adults, Hallmark souvenirs. The staff is kind and everyone there cares about their customers and the quality of the merchandise they offer. If you're into engraving, they can do that too. I love the kitchen towels and pet-themed gifts for those of us whose children have four legs and a tail.

I'd give no stars if that were an option…read more I never got the chance to go to this store. I placed an online order for ornaments that I previously ordered over the summer that have since gone missing since I moved over the summer. I have hunted for these ornaments at Hallmark stores closer to me only to find out that they have not been available. Most of the ornaments were available at this location which was just over an hour's drive from where I live now. I placed my order and received an email that my order was being processed. Some time later, I get another email that my order was "cancelled," but when I open the email, my order was not cancelled. Only one of the ornaments was cancelled because it was actually not available. Total bummer as that was one of the harder ones to find. I wish someone would have called me instead of sending out an email, but maybe that was from the online/corporate side. I have no idea, but at the same time, someone in the store must have seen my order come through and that's how the email came back to me to generate the email, right? That's the only thing that I can determine on my end. Not long after this cancellation email, I get another email letting me know that my order has been fully processed and my order is available for pick up. Great, right? Not so much. As I plan out which day I can drive out to Hickory (I have 2 kids in school that I have to figure out the best day to plan around), I get an email a day or so later letting me know my order has been picked up. Hmmm... well who picked it up? I didn't put anyone else's name down to pick up the ornaments except my name. Surely they would have checked the ID upon pick up, right? I call the store several times and wouldn't you know the phone number gives me a busy signal each time. I call Hallmark.com to try to remedy the situation because I used my reward coupons on this order and I would normally ordered from them online, but some of the ornaments were not available from them. UGH!!!! The lady I spoke to couldn't believe my situation and was immediately helpful. She even tried calling the store a few times and got the same busy signal. (Super annoying.) I don't know who to contact as there are no other phone numbers listed for this store anywhere and if the online store can't get in touch with them either, this is not a good sign. Don't call this store from the phone number listed here. As of December 2021, the number doesn't work. If you place an order online and choose to "pick up" at this store beware that someone else might be able to get your order before you do and you'll be SOL. I've been trying to find these ornaments at other places and it's been pretty tough, but I know I won't try this store again.

What fantastic service. I went in not knowing what to get. The young lady working, Lainie, walked…read moreme through everything I needed and it worked perfectly! May have saved my life actually!! I never do these things & I owe her and the hallmark a lot because of this visit. I even later signed up for the rewards program because she recommended it! I highly recommend this store - especially to men like me who may require assistance in finding the perfect cards and gifts to get for those we love and want to keep in our lives! Thank you Hallmark and thank you Lainie!

Oooooo, Hot Topic, you never cease to shock and amaze me! I LOVE, LOVE the T-shirts at Hot Topic!…read moreMaybe I'm just still a teenager at heart BUT this little quirky spot does it for me! I'll admit I'm typically gift shopping (Christmas or birthdays) for my children when I hit HT but I always find one or two items for myself. I think this store has something for everyone, there's plenty of tops (tees, long sleeve tees, hoodies and even some outerwear) lining the walls but there's also other novelty items like figurines, mugs, cups, jewelry, belts and shoes. If it's a popular television show or movie then there's likely an item in this store that showcases the cast or logo. It's fun just to walk through and look at everything! The store has been operating under reduced occupancy due to COVID19 but this is actually a plus, in my opinion, since the store is quite small and very well stocked. If you're up for a shock or laugh, I encourage you to visit Hot Topic today! Oh, I did quite a bit of online ordering for Christmas this year from Hot Topic and I found something for each of my children as well as my SO! For the anime fans, there was Demon Slayer items and for the D&D and Star Wars fans there were plenty of tees. Definitely scored big this year! The orders arrived quickly and I was very pleased with their online service!

I have purchased so much home decor from this…read morelocation over the years and I will continue to make Kirkland's one of my first stops when I'm looking for high end decorations for my home. I really like the wall art/signs and the throw pillows! However, my most favorite time to shop at Kirkland's is during the three major holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their holiday decor cannot be beat! It doesn't hurt to pursue the after holiday markdown sales, either. Kirkland's is always on trend and will keep interior stylists, like me, coming back for more. Whether you're into modern farmhouse style or shabby chic, Kirkland's has a little something for every household. The smell goods are the best here and the scents draw you in starting right outside the store. Candles and lighting are great here, too and there's plenty to choose from. Staff are always make shopping a pleasure, they're very friendly and courteous! This little joy spot is just right inside the mall entrance on the back side between Belk and JCPenney. After all, there's no place like home especially after you've given it a "plush update" from Kirkland's!
