    Very cool place. I have been by here often, but never stopped in, even when I lived in German Village- on Kossuth, actually. Just never seemed like my kind of place. And you know, maybe it isn't. But it is a great place. Lots of handmade art, much of it local, all of it from the US (well, North America, since there are a few Canadian things.) Jewelry, pottery, candles, stained glass, notecards, clocks, switchplates, and on and on. It's in an old house, and every room is filled with interesting items. Not overstuffed, though- it's all carefully arranged and displayed, and a visit is a very relaxing time, with soft music and a mellow tone. I came looking for gifts for my wife, daughter, and mom, for Valentine's Day and more. Loads of potential choices here. There's a room of just kid's stuff, which I will have to keep secret from Baby K so she doesn't insist on getting a(nother) princess dress. Great service. I was offered tea or coffee when I came in, and had quiet offers of help, and just friendly greetings once in awhile from various staff. It's expensive. But, it's good stuff. I'll be back.

    It was fun (and cool - thank you!!) walking around this little shop selling homemade/handmade gifts. The shop dog was extremely well-behaved. The pottery was unique. Beautiful wood spoons and knives; earrings, candles, knickknacks, greeting cards... And two chairs to sit outside in the shade for 'the husbands,' lol.

    I randomly ventured over to this adorable gift boutique after having lunch one afternoon and I'm so glad I did! It's located in the beautiful Columbus neighborhood of German Village and is an old home built right along the red brick roads. It was like I opened the door and stepped into a movie. The sun was out and shining brightly in through the windows of the sunroom and the various hanging glass and jars, etc. twinkled in every color of the rainbow. I instantly got excited and was so pumped I had a few minutes to look around. After walking through all the various rooms of the house turned business, I found the cutest card ever! Locally made in Ohio, I had to have it! The moment I saw it I knew who I was going to send it to. Seriously, this place had the best cards in almost every nook and cranny in the place. I also discovered the most amazing handmade jewelry, artwork, unique gifts, and so much more. It was like finding hidden treasure every time you turned the corner. I even found the funniest animal clocks! An entire wall full of various cat and dog clocks, wagging tails and all. I couldn't help but smile. I may have to go back and get one or put it on my Christmas list for this year. They're just so fun! Oh yeah! I also want to point out how friendly the staff was. I was offered a beverage while I browsed and the ladies there for the afternoon were happy to answer any questions I had. That was surely the icing on the cake! Now that I know about this hidden gem, I will certainly make the time to visit again. I look forward to discovering something new each time I do and I know I'll be back whenever I'm in need of a cool gift. Everything here is really special, there's no doubt about it.

    Amazing little place to buy hand crafted stuff in the german town.Best part is you'll be immediately greeted and offered complimentary Tea/ Coffee and bites. They got some really cool stuff but felt they were little expensive but when its is handcrafted to perfection you can't really complain. STAFF IS VERY ATTENTIVE AND FRIENDLY.

    Fun unique finds all handmade from Ohio and other states. Upstairs is a children's room with a table to color and play with spinning tops. Upon entering this air conditioned place, you are offered complimentary coffee, tea, or water.

    My mom, daughter and I came in here the other day and we were immediately greeted by a nice woman asking if she could get us tea or coffee while we looked around; we declined but were surprised by the nice gesture since you normally don't hear that in shops. She noticed my daughter and told us to check around upstairs where there was a little kid's area. The items in this store are beautifully made and some are a little pricey, but this store is cute for one of a kind gifts! We went upstairs where we browsed dress up costumes, stuffed animals, and they had a little kid's table for kids to color on paper with crayons! My mom found a mother's day gift for her that she wants from my brother and I. It's called a "pic stick" and you can hang it up with pictures of your family on the magnetic stem. Very helpful staff and I can't wait to get this gift for my mom!

    Helen Winnemore's might have boring name, but it serves as a great place to buy gifts in German Village. The store's two floors are filled with the sort of handmade items that make you think, "how did they do this?!" The inventory isn't always as hip as one might like -- oh well. There is still a lot to dig at Helen's. Here are a few of their items: -Hand-blown glass ornaments -Unconventional toys and kids' items (maps!) -Carved wood utensils -Handmade greeting cards -Bags -Drawers and drawers of jewelry There is a lot more here -- five rooms on the lower level alone. Set aside some time and check it out. Be sure to enjoy some of their complimentary coffee and tea. It's a neat perk.

The German Village location is calm, inviting, and just fun to walk through. I love looking at all the different plants, gifts, and accouterments (fun I got to use that word in a review). East Market in Olde Towne East is still open and both are probably equal distance for me so great to have another option. Service is great at both locations, and this one makes it easy to take your time, look around and explore. Don't forget to ask questions. The staff are always super helpful. I'll definitely be back and love supporting this business.

Now there's a lot more room for their abundance of plants, gifts, and little knickknacks you never thought you needed, but you do! One of the owners was there to greet me and he was so friendly. I picked up a beautiful plant, & he gave me some great tips on how to keep it healthy and vibrant. He seemed very knowledgeable about everything in his store! I didn't have very much time to do alot of shopping today, but will definitely be back during the holidays. FYI - there's some free parking out back in the lot, & street parking as well in the front. Please come in and support the LGBTQ small business community. Always be proud of diversity and inclusiveness when it comes to our economy and patronage!

Loved stopping in to browse and see what find I might need. The owner has announced the closure of the shop so make sure to seeing by for some additional savings. Stop by if you can and support this local business while you can. Online announcement: After much reflection, it's time to announce that our shop is closing. This year has been tough, and despite hoping things would improve, we've reached a point where both the shop and I need a break. I'm beyond grateful for the incredible support over the last five years, both in-store and online. To show my appreciation, we're kicking off a 'closing sale' this Saturday with 40% off storewide (excluding A.J.Soseby The Scent Collection). Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Excited for what's next! Keep following us for an exciting '25. We have so much more coming. -A.J. SOSEBY

But while shopping…read morein Clintonville today I saw the High st store and we went in to see what it was all about. We were greeted by a knowledgeable gal who told us that location had been open three weeks. It is a very narrow shop but so exciting to see. Your eye takes in so much. I'm not sure how to describe what they have so I am relying on their own description. Cleaning in style. A collection of home, kitchen and found objects. Lots of wonderful candles. I needed a push broom so that is what I brought home. I intend to visit the Parsons store tomorrow because I like to shop local. They have limited hours but visit either shop if you can. You won't be disappointed.
