It's so cute, well stocked and priced, and has amazing gifts for everyone, from the foodie friend to the bearded boyfriend, to the dog mom or dad in your life. You'll be the talk of the holidays when you tick off your gift list at Cocoon! From the silly socks with literary quotes to the immense selection of unique cookbooks, and the gorgeous locally made jewelry, we spent a good half hour browsing around the small but well organized shop. The shopkeeper was pretty low key, which was actually a refreshing change from the folks in stores who follow you around or ask you how you're doing every five seconds. I'm trying to buy a present for my cat, Virginia! Leave me be! I hope to come back here for the slew of fall birthdays and special events in my squad for the inevitable present hunting trip. It's definitely the best place to shop for all my weird pals! :)

Unable to find an alternative, I returned to the shop to find something to take back to our hotel room. I was offered a cheese plate and gratefully accepted. When I came up to pay, I realized that it was on a metal tray. I apologized and told him I needed it to go. "That would have been great to know before" the proprietor said coldly. He said let me ring these people out and I'll put it in a bag. Having already paid, I stood there feeling wretched, looked at the young couple at the register and said "lunch is on me" gave them the tray, and left the shop in tears. I was grieving the loss of a loved one two days ago, and all I needed was courtesy . It was in short supply there.

He apparently didn't hold the same views as the shirt's statement and demanded that she have a conversation about why she would wear that shirt. She kept saying no, and he wouldn't take the rejection. No one else who worked in the store seemed to care either. If you only want customers to enter your store who share your hateful and ignorant views, you should post a sign outside stating such. There is another antique shop within walking distance whose employees are friendly, helpful, will not harass you, and welcome everyone.

Long story short:…read more Back in 2009, I had purchased a Good Cheer Company/Piece of The Puzzle Affirmation bracelet from a shop over on Abbot Kinney (Mystic Journey) and it was on me daily until around 2013 when it finally fell apart. $14 isn't too bad for something that lasted quite long, but the issue at hand was finding another one. I was fortunate enough to get the last one at the same shop that year, but fast forward to late March 2015, this one snapped and I was out of luck. I tried several local 'spiritual shops' and anywhere else I felt may carry such a line. I finally attempted to google almost any kind of name associated with the line, and Maglyn's extensive site was on the first page. I noticed a message board and was pleased to see how quickly they responded to customer's questions and requests. I noticed the message I had left myself a few months prior, but had forgotten to check back; as my bracelet was still in tact. The company had responded with an email address so I followed through to see if there was still any luck...I had struck gold. Realizing this was an actual brick and mortar shop in New York, the most helpful Rachelle and I kept in touch via email up to when she said the shipment had arrived. I called the following day and bought two of the three in their delivery. I sit here today less than a week later with two brand new puzzle bracelets, one going right on after I opened the carefully prepared package. When I make my way back east, I AM taking a road trip specifically up to New Paltz, NY to check out this gem of a shop and to thank Rachelle personally for helping me out with such a personal piece.

This shop on N Front St, off the ever-busy Main St. in New Paltz is mostly targeted at women- although there are some nice masculine and even gender-neutral items (incense, rings and other goods) in their collection that slap with boho-chic funk and style that have a unique touch to give you amazing looks. I particularly loved a puffy, iridescent lilac hand clutch that mentally told me, 'buy me'. Their incense+accessories section is one I didn't want to pass by. I like Nag Champa- but Verde's incense selection and the BOTANICA incense brand these folk carry, isn't one to ignore. The Rainier scent drew me in and bought a box. Great service. Decent prices.
