It's a relatively small shop in downtown Princeton. I went shopping specifically for pens. I…read morethought I would be able to buy some pens I found in their online storefront. I was partially successful. In one case I was able to get the pen I wanted, but not the color I wanted (Black). The other pen just wasn't available in-store. i would have been happier if they had fewer novelty type pens and more colors available instead. Overall they managed to get a good variety of things into a small shop, but the selection is broad rather than deep. Staff were pleasant.

I love this little store! The other day I had wall sconces on my mind but, as usual, when you're…read moreactually looking for something, it can be rather hard to find. I wanted sconces that would hold taper candles, not the electric sort that leave you having to hide the trailing cord. So I decide to run to Sweet Magnolia to replace a candle that had recently burnt out completely when, lo and behold!, there is the most gorgeous pair of gold-leafed wall sconces hanging right before my eyes! This is why I love Sweet Magnolia - you can find such elegant pieces here when you least expect it. I also appreciate that their prices don't put a huge dent in your wallet. $58 for the pair? I'll take them! The store also carries the greatest soy candles ever by Aquiesse which last a rather long time and come in several delightful fragrances. They also carry an array of other home goods - Forte teas, place settings, bath and body products, stationery, baby gifts, and jewelry. Definitely a great little shop for finding last minute gifts or a treat for yourself. I've seen similar items at other stores like Anthropologie for twice the price, so why not patronize a local entrepreneur instead?

I applaud the contrarian instincts of any Princeton outpost that specializes in Hot Wheels, toy guns and action figures. Not the playthings of elite academia but certainly provoking a worthy smirk just by being there. Given their inventory, how they pay the rent in this progressive playpen is anyone's guess but needless to say, I'm beyond curious. For that bedeviled tyke who's in desperate need of a plastic AK-47 for show and tell in the gifted language program. Five easy stars.

I was walking around the store searching for an appropriate toy for my 1-yo nephew when I realized…read morethe store employee had left the till and was standing at an awkward distance from me, hovering to make sure I wasn't stealing anything, and following me as I circled the stuffed animals in the corner. For context, I am a 43-yo woman, in town visiting my parents who live in Princeton, and I work as a law professor in DC. I strongly suggest, if you are so worried about theft, that you invest in some cameras, rather than subject your customers to baseless suspicion and harassment. I paid for a toy that I'd already selected for a 4-yo, but I bought less than I would have otherwise, and I will certainly never return.

Had some better quality crystals locked up in a showcase. First time I've seen that. Had some sage and palo alto sprays that were nice that I would LOVE to spray in negative environments lol. They sell sage and Palo Alto as well to burn. They also had dragon blood and frankinsense and Myrrh to burn with sage. Place smelled nice and had zen music on.

Collectible statues and deities. This store holds alot of things you didnt know you needed or wanted. You never know what you will find. I love their oils and they carry the brand I love, although thru the years the prices have gone up drastically they do last. So if you wander by give them a check in yo uwont be disappointed.
