If you've never been, this little shop on the corner of Elm and McGee in Greensboro is a great spot to pick up unique, and fun gifts for anyone in your list for any occasion! They offer a great variety of locally crafted gifts, including wall decor, yard art, puzzles, books, journals, soaps, quirky dish towels and so much more, all at decent prices considering they're not mass produced item. The staff is also friendly, and able to make recommendations if you need help picking things out read more

I enjoyed my visit at the store. Everything is so colorful and unique. They have a great selection of candles and stationary. My daughter found a very cute book that allows her to journal her artwork for a year. The clothing was very pretty. I thought the dresses in the back were a good deal. It was very busy. The cashier took a moment to ask if we were doing ok. It was thoughtful of her and I appreciated the good customer service. We carefully walked through the whole store and there wasn't a table that we didn't like. If you are looking to think outside the box for a gift, this is definitely a location that you need to visit. read more

I love going into this store. They have unique items and great gift ideas. Always a pleasant visit read more

Very cute shop with some vibrant smelling candles and cute gifts of all kids! Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon during my lunch break to browse and pass some time. They have a children's section in the back which was a pleasant surprise, and I purchased a cool finger puppet book for my little one. I was also happy to see the work of some local designers in the shop. Didn't give five stars because I didn't see any works of black artists (which is important to me) and because some of the items were pricier than my liking. I'd go back for birthday cards and desk trinkets. Oh and Voluspa candles! read more

Super cute little store! One of our fav Maileg retailers we've found since we started growing our collection. They had a great assortment of the brand and the lady at the checkout counter was very friendly with both myself and my toddler :) read more

Just Be - Maileg Princess Mouse - Accessories Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I love a good old gift store that has unusual and modern gifts. Went here today and purchased several Christmas gifts. They have a small amount of ladies clothing, candles, clocks, jewelry, prints, a large Maileg children's section and dammit I'm in love with those little mice! read more

This is a great local business located in downtown Greensboro. The parking can be challenging but turn it into an opportunity to explore downtown Greensboro. Catherine and her staff consistently provide stellar customer service. She has a great selection of merchandise that are great for gifts or to keep for yourself. All her items are high quality and reasonably priced. Check out this cool LOCAL business! read more

#SuperHubs and I happened upon this cute, little place last year before quarantine. I really like shopping local, so I was thrilled to find this place chocked full of items, art, jewelry, and pottery from local artists, craftsmen, & designers. The pottery mugs, handmade, leather-beaded jewelry, and hand-crafted natural soaps are my go-to spots in the store, but I also enjoy browsing through the racks of clothes. The hand-painted prints are so beautiful and reminds me that NC is full of talented artists! They even host creative workshops, though I'm not sure if these have continued since quarantine. The place is always clean and organized. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to their artisans and are always masked for our safety. Prices are reasonable for supporting local artists. Located in downtown Greensboro, right across from Natty Greene's. Go by, shop local, support NC! read more

Super cute boutique filled with gifts and decor from the local area. Clothing, candles, homemade ornaments and jewelry are all throughout the store and there is something for everyone. Parking is a little sketchy and hard to find close by, but it's worth a stop. read more

This is one of my favorite shops of all time! I love supporting local and fair trade as much as I can. Just Be has so many unique items in every category from jewelry, clothing, stationary, kids gifts, home items and so much more. When you shop here you are not only supporting a local business you are also helping people all around the world with supporting fair trade. Just Be makes it so easy to find a great gift for anyone for the holidays or any occasion. This is one of those shops you can go in multiple times and find new items each time. As for COVID precautions Just Be requires all guests to wear masks and has hand sanitizer available. I have also visited when they were keeping a count of how many guests are shopping to help with social distancing. On top of that they even sell a variety of different mask styles, colors and patterns that are locally made. Definitely stop by any time you are in downtown Greensboro! read more

I love this store! Whenever I have someone visiting we always make a trip over to browse Just Be. This store can lean towards the pricier side but it is understandable because everything is fair trade and made by individual artists. This is the perfect place to buy a gift because of the one of a kind nature and the variety of all things here. I love browsing through the card selection. Since the cards are made by artists and not one of the big chains you can ensure your card will be original, especially for things like wedding or baby showers where the same card often shows up multiple times. They always have a nice jewelry selection as well, I recently picked up a great set of bangles. They do close around six on weekdays which can make getting there after work a bit hard, so be sure to check their hours before you head on over. read more

I absolutely adore this little boutique. It's in a convenient location in downtown Greensboro. They have so many different, fun, local gift options! The items range from Greensboro clothing/magnets, candles, jewelry, pottery, gifts for children, tea accessories and a lot more. I enjoy popping into this place every few months to get special unique gifts that you can't get at any other store. The workers are super nice and always willing to help you out if you are looking for something specific. Love this place! The prices are reasonable as well. read more

Nothing. I got nothing. Literally, I'm a sucker for girly shops and I simply could not be drawn to anything in this store. They have a decent sale section. They have jewelry. Whimsical art pieces, functional pottery, smelly candles, colorful stationery and it's floor to ceiling full of eye popping you-name-it. Sigh. But I have to admit that it's all something that I have seen before. Same old same old Letter journals. I could pick up a P book or letter B book and chandelier earrings just about anywhere. Sorry to be so harsh but despite the flair I couldn't find anything fresh. On a positive note, the merchandising and placement displays were really fun and inviting. read more

Great store that features handmade items from local vendors/artists, as well as non-local items. Warning: you need at least 40 minutes to be able to look at all the treasures in this store! Before moving to Greensboro, I lived in Burlington and would take visitors to Just Be in Alamance Crossing because I love the store and there is something for everyone (not just women)! Now that I live in Greensboro on the same street as Just Be here, I love going in and perusing, not necessarily with something in mind, but the store inspires me and makes me happy. I always shop here for Mother's day gifts and when I am at a loss for a gift for someone, this is my first stop. Best purchase to date: NC mug ($36 but worth every penny). I have gifted this mug as well. I follow Just Be on instagram, which helps me stay updated on their inventory/sales/events/giveaways. Also, I am looking forward to shopping their new Rifle Paper Co items that recently arrived. Although I do my best to support local vendors/artists, I love Rifle Paper Co and would rather buy it from my local Just Be than a non-local store. Bottom line: you can't go wrong with Just Be! They have beautiful, useful items for all ages. read more

Cute store. We decided to stop by and just browse. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but was open to buying whatever if I saw something I wanted. The lady at the register who I assume was the owner was very friendly. I love that they have Rifle paper company items. They also have lots of different things such as jewelry, bath stuff, mugs, and home stuff. Store was organized and the setting was cute. read more

This is a fantastic local shop with something for everyone, from jewelry to journals, candles to clothing. The owner is super friendly and nice. We ended up chatting with her about our Carolina travels, and she had so many great insights about the area. Her pride for Greensboro is so evident, too. She enthusiastically told us that over 60 local artists and craft makers sell their stuff at her store, and everything else is fairly traded or made in the USA. If you have a chance, stop in and see what pekes your interest. read more

Fabulous store with a eclectic array of handmade and ethical goods. I could of spent so much money in this store but I had to control myself! Everything from beautiful jewelry to adorable tops and unique gifts. read more

This cute store calls to you from the sidewalk with a little mounted birdhouse spouting a steady stream of bubbles. The inside is just as fresh... lots of beautiful displays, mostly jewelry, some candles, cards, and scents. And a handful of frocks. A couple of furniture items for sale, along with housewares. And a back room with kids clothes and locally made stuffed toys. Didn't find anything I couldn't live without today, but would stop again to browse or gift-give. read more

Beautiful little shop chock full of goodies that are (for the most part) reasonably priced and it smells so good in there! Friendly service to boot. Lots of creative items from jewelry and lotions to art work and housewares. Love the bubbles flowing from the birdhouse on the outside of the building too. Fun! read more

From the moment I walked by Just Be and saw the bird house on the wall outside that produced a stream of bubbles, I was in love. But then I've been a little bit in love with Greensboro since I drove in last night...and I'm not sure why. Just Be is beautiful. If you like higher-end without being ridiculously expensive jewelry, cards, ceramics, candles, handbags -you name it - you will spend your money here. The store is beautifully merchandised, and items are displayed artfully, making beautiful things look even better. As I told Renee, the incredibly friendly manager, just when I thought I'd seen everything, another wonderful display or item popped up, and I probably wanted to buy it too. The back of the store has a very cool table space where classes are held...I'm guessing in jewelry making or the collage/mixed media art that I saw throughout the store as well. I saw some high-quality brands of fine art crafts that I've seen in other boutiques (lines of cards and such) and even an extensive display of work from a Maryland watercolor artist and illustrator, of bonesigharts.com. Of course I had to buy something from her! This is the kind of place where you can always find the perfect pair of earrings for your sister or your best friend - and something for yourself besides (can't deprive ourselves. Please!) If you're passing through downtown Greensboro, stop in to Just Be. Stand outside and watch the bubbles for awhile - it's fun - and then go on down the street to Calhoun's Specialties for a cup of coffee and a chat with Mike the owner. I'm totally talking myself into moving here. read more

Love love love this little shop. Sarah Margaret, the owner is friendly and has a good eye for local as well as fair trade goods. It's my go to for gifts. A good selection of jewelry, items for the home, and so much is made by local artists. I rarely leave empty handed. read more

Love this place for my miscellaneous needs for aromas on the home. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is quite calm.

This is such a quaint little shop full of locally made jewelry, soap, art, postcards, and more. I love the location (across the street from M'Coul's pub) & the shop assistant was very pleasant. I found 2 really cool necklaces here. I would recommend everyone visit! read more

I went here looking for local items. Karla total me there is a shelf up front as she stood behind counter without her mask (not that I cared but some people do, she eventually put it on). The shelf had maybe five different types of items. I tried to make conversation about what I was looking for and she was short. I said I haven't be able to find local post cards in Greensboro do you perhaps know where..., she snapped there is one at counter. I saw a few items in store that had North Carolina on them but I didn't feel like Karla would be interested in giving me any info she knew. I decided on the post cards. I got two then she said to buy three or something else because total was under $5. I get merchants pay fee to use cards. I usually just ask them to round up to the threshold, specially when it's just a few cents like in this case. But I was just so taken back at the whole experience and her tone that I just left. read more

This is a great local store with unique gift items. I can always find something here that is a perfect gift, and I can always find something I just have to have myself! read more

Absolutely love this place! Tons of unique and lovely jewelry, decor and accessories.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this store yet! I love this place. I first visited Just Be on a whim. The birdhouse bubble blower was adorable and had me following it's stream into this quaint corner shop. When you enter, you feel a little lighter. Happier, even. Definitely helps that the staff is very friendly and can give you details on the products sold. It's bright, airy, and smells amazing. It's laid out pretty well, yet there's so much that catches your attention. I'm a sucker for anything that smells good, so I was instantly drawn to the candles and incense. There's a pretty small collection of both, but enough to give you sastifying options. I believe everything sold here is fair trade. Clothing, jewelry, bags/purses, journals, wall art, pottery, soaps, lotions, you're likely to find a nice one-of-a-kind gift for a loved one. It's pricey, but you're paying for quality, and showing support to the locals. They close early during the week, but open later on the weekends. I also believe they have different events go on, like once a month. An artist may come in and paint, something of that sort. There is an email newsletter you can sign up for to get accurate details. read more

In writing a review for Scuppernong it occurred to me that I have not shared my thoughts on this gem of a gift shop. Why.... I do not know since I cross their threshold once every four to five weeks. Just Be provides any and everything we ladies need when in the market for special little gifts for friends, family, coworkers, etc. This is my definite go-to for all gifts being shared with my friends. Holidays, birthdays, etc. You will find handmade art from jewelry to beautiful quilts, pottery, candles, baby gifts and so much more. The inventory is so unique and special. Stationary, journals, books of inspiration, lotions......I could go on for quite a while. For those looking for that special one of a kind "something" this is the perfect quaint and inviting store. read more

This is a beautiful store cram packed with treasures and one of a kind artistic functional items for every style and occasion. What I love most about it is that everything is priced very reasonably. I will say it has way more things of interest to women then men and it's SO hard to find gifts for men so it would be nice to see more of that. Overall it's a fantastic local store you MUST see! read more

What a sweet store!! There are so many items to look at and enjoy, from pottery to jewelry, stationery to clothing, children's gifts to candles. The staff is friendly and helpful. Downtown Greensboro has a gem in Just Be. read more

Sarah-Margaret has done a great job with this store. always friendly- always something that I didn't know that I needed! Definitely worth a stop in.... will get your creative juices flowing :) read more

Super cute little shop with local goods and all sorts of cute gifts. Many handmade things like jewlery, art, and candles, mostly girly things. My only negative is that its a little bit pricey. I'll still return for gifts and cute NC/GSO themed items. read more
