Need some Holiday earrings? Or Halloween hairpins?…read moreOr glittery anything? This could be the place. While I gather they have regular stores as well, I have only ever been to outlet locations, and then only for something intended for one, perhaps two, times use. They will always hit on that score. Things not terrifically well made, but priced right, ideal for a Halloween costume, a prom shiny moment, a :quick fix" for something else? The staff here are pleasant, and if you take a moment or two you are sure to find whatever you may need.

I can't believe I'm the first to review this great little business, which opened in walking disance…read morethe same year I got an apartment on Elmwood near Summer(2006). I was a regular the 2+ years I lived in that location, picking up jewelry & shea butter and chatting with the super friendly owner. I just revisited it after several years away (I live in Black Rock - like anyone on Yelp doesn't know, har har, and don't get to EV much) and was excited to see that not only was it still there, it's flourishing. Ambiance/service - The store is in the back side corner of a non-descript brick building, sharing a small urban "strip mall" of sorts - with Elmwood Market (formerly DVD Dot), a laundromat and a nail place occupying the street-facing shops. It is small and has that market feel common to small, indie ethnic shops without being dingy, dirty or cramped (a la Manar's, now closed). The space is very clean and much better organized than when they first opened seven years ago. Products - The store focuses on traditional African and African-incluenced clothing and accessories, including jewelry, clothing, hats, home decor, instruments, beauty products (shea butter, black soap), scarves and even fabric to make clothes (sold by the 6 yard piece). On my most recent trip I bought a beautiful cream and aqua stone necklace with silver accents - it has a really quality heft and look, with excellent craftsmanship, and set me back less than $25; it was a small price to pay considering teeny bopper mall chain stores charge $12-20 for similar, less quality necklaces. The store also carries a small assortment of African foods and a variety of less traditional clothing that still fits with the shop's vibe. The store has expanded into the spot next to them, with this shop focusing on handbags and accessories. I did not pop in this side, though the owner offered to open it for me, but I took a long gander through the window and it looked clean, well-organized and full of goodies.

They have such unique gift ideas for kids and adults and many of their items are from local artists. Above and beyond that, they offer free gift wrapping and do an outstanding job. It is the place to go if you are on your way to a party and need a gift last minute, or the place you can get most of your holiday shopping done. The prices are a little more on the expensive side which may not be feasible for some people (and the only reason they have 4 stars instead of 5). They offer a lot of Buffalo-esque items and a bunch of pieces are made by local artists. Next time you are looking for something unique, stop into Everything Elmwood!
