How could this store have been here 34 years and I had missed it? This is a unique jewel for a…read moreMother/Daughter shopping: reminded me of Smiths that was next door to Western grocery so many years in MtnBrook Village. "Fun Stuff" is not what I expected. They do have a few toys, a little candy and some cute clothes for kids, but it's mostly special fun stuff for adults. This is the perfect place for a very cool wedding gift! A huge monogrammed cutting board with initials on one side and the couples portrait on the other was pretty reasonable! Monogrammed towels in a million color threads, monogrammed water pitchers, glasses, stationary, and lucite napkin holders, heirloom monogrammed scrap books or baby books, serving trays, snack bowls of various woods, college or sorority items, a few ladies coverups, seasonal decor and more to choose from! I ended up with a darling gold ice scoop & towels with our 3 initials! Friendly service tops it off! I'm returning for my favorite unique gift under $30: a tea towel with a copy of a fave family recipe, in Grandma's own handwriting! So here comes "Nana Kathy's Bourbon Sweet Potatoes" made famous!

Actually, just stopped in here to see what they had in case I'm back in the area with my wife. This…read moretype of store (outside curb appeal) looked like a place she would really enjoy. Confirmed, first step inside and it was exactly the type of home décor store she likes. All sorts of things --- really so much stuff packed into this store, but not cluttered, just really good use of space. Really cool feature, they offer monogramming, engraving and vinyl services, so if you are looking for a gift for somebody (or something for you) and you want to personalize it, they have the ability to make that happen for you. Prices seemed to be good and on par with other home décor stores. The store is split kind of into two halves - to the right is home stuff - to the left is kids stuff - clothes, toys, etc. Staff was really friendly and helpful checking on me a couple times while I was in the store to make sure I didn't need anything. Great little shop in Vestavia Hills, check them out!

The staff was super warm and welcoming! They had a complimentary gift wrapping service that was…read moreperfect for the holiday season. I will definitely come back in the future!

They carry the cutest children's and baby clothing in top brands, jewelry that is always on trend, candles, etc.... It is sometimes hard finding cute clothes for little boys, but they have so many options. I also love that you can purchase something and get it wrapped within minutes. I truly can't say enough good things about this store!

Beautiful gifts here. Books, candles, glassware, Christmas decorations, kids/baby things, art. I…read moreloved looking at the gorgeous Christmas things. They had several placemat/nameplate things for table settings that I thought were really sharp. I imagine the bread and butter of the sales here is the unique, brightly colored glassware. It's not cheap, but it is gorgeous. I do wonder if a'mano accepts wedding registries. If you're looking for a very fancy gift for somebody with great taste, this is the spot. They even sell mahjong sets. The coffee table books are gorgeous. I'll have to check back after the holidays, I'm curious about what their normal inventory looks like.

I enjoy coming to this plant store to window shop muse on the possibilities and find just what I…read morewant. I like the ferns, Japanese maples and fruit trees. Ferns are great plants they take minimal care and maintenance and have so many variaties. So too with the Japanese maples. I guess I like low maintenance plants. I saw for the first time lemon, lime, and orange trees. Impulse almost got the better of me. But I have made a decision to return and pick up some blueberry bushes.

My husband and I like to go to the gardens to walk and then stop by the store to look around. The other day, we bought a "hard to find" type of fern and it was reasonably priced. This place is a lot more than a plant shop and you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting things they have for sale. Let me say, however, bring your wallet because they can be pricey. Also be careful if you have kids with you because the shop can be crowded and things can easily be broken. The positives are that the shop layout is beautiful and the decorators took a lot of time to make it visibly appealing to the customers. And, the staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable about plants.

This is despite confirming via telephone the day before that my money would be returned with the receipt and same card. I will never purchase in this store again and will also tell my friends to not shop in this store. Never felt so swindled by a retailer.
