So... with no homes, and no beyonds, on sale, HOW CAN THEY CALL THEMSELVES HOME AND BEYOND. FALSE ADVERTISING. ONE STAR. This is basically like Bed Bath & Beyond but for the rich people at the very sleepy and friendly mall out in the west suburbs of Minneapolis call the Ridgedale. I only went in here for a couple of minutes because I wasn't really shopping for Bed and Bath and Beyond style HomeGoods, but it seems quaint and a little bit expensive... but then it's in a mall, so your expect that. Very friendly.

Anna's chocolate lab is the sweetest old man. Every piece here is hand selected and curated by an experienced purveyor with good taste and love. You will find the highest quality products and gifts of character that your friends and family will remember and cherish. Spending time and money here is the retail equivalent of a spa. Great local and imported good, often women-owned small businesses that you are supporting. It's expensive because it's great quality.

Don't go there cuz you might buy something I want…read more I bought two Eames vintage chairs, a vintage stainless steel rolling cart so we can put stuff on it (coffee, liquor, food) and roll it around the house. I also bought two vintages designer lights and a couple pieces of glass labware to put cocktails in and put on the rolling cart to roll around the house (see above). I also bought a very cool looking gumball machine where you push down a little lever and a gumball comes out.** **I have put real gumballs and M&M peanuts in this thing and it has yet to spit out a gumball. It's pretty cool, though. OK, these guys have vintage cocktail glasses and shakers (do you see a problem here?) and more labware that I might buy. And a couple great vintage stands from a chemistry lab that has lots of clamps for test tubes. I'm trying to justify this one. My god!! They have two gigantic overhead light fixtures on rolling frames. If you live in one of those hoity-toity warehouses there is no excuse not to buy these. O, VINYL RECORDS YOU PEOPLE. SOUNDTRACK ALERT!! Endless Boogie was playing on their sound system. New favorite band. Ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump (Jaws) they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from about noon on.

(I love supporting small business owners/artists, as I am one myself.) The shop itself is not very large, but there's a decent selection of cute stuff that, for the most part, is thematically congruent with the Minnesota/Minneapolis experience. I couldn't resist a glittery ornament depicting the spoon and cherry statue (if you know, you know!). You'll find things like t-shirts, kitchen towels, wooden spoons/spatulas, chocolate, soaps, wooden art blocks, coasters, puzzles, jewelry, baby clothes, coasters, keychains, postcards, stickers, etc. I am uncertain how much or how often stock changes. Prices were pretty reasonable, considering-- obviously more than cheap junk from China would cost, but also more unique and special!

The pieces they buy are absolutely beautiful and vary from jewelry to home decor to birthday cards. Ten Thousand Villages pays the artists outright, so the artists do not have to worry about the sale of their pieces to be compensated. When you buy any piece, they have listed which country it originated and they'll include more information about the piece and the artists that created them. It is such a wonderful place to buy unique gifts and feel like you're putting your money to good use. They also have an online website and offer gift cards as well! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a meaningful gift for your next occasion!

I still found lots of great ideas! I even bought an old pill bottle and have a list of a few other items I will go back to get, budget willing. My Mom got a peony type flower made out of old sewing patterns! Super cute! Our other fave ideas were old coffee carafes as planters and Ball jars painted metallic! They also have the old-fashioned milk paints for sale or for classes which antique wood nicely. Definitely check this store out!

They have a ton of fun knick-knacks, play good music, and I for one appreciate that they're open about where they stand so I feel good supporting them :) Even so, it really isn't their "entire identity" like SOME people say because I actually looked around for more than 10 seconds at their wide variety of items instead of hyper fixating on the things that could maybe make me have a temper tantrum. Even if I felt like something was being "shoved down my throat" which I really haven't yet because I'm not a baby, the door is actually really easy to find so I could simply leave if needed! So easy!! Just my opinion. Xo (In all seriousness, this place is genuinely my go-to for all gift shopping and they're always so nice, couldn't recommend a place more!

However, shoving political messages in someone's face when they simply want to shop for little knick-knacks is really off-putting and, honestly, disgusting. And making jokes about churches while simultaneously playing rap music with the N-word in it? It feels so contradictory and unnecessary. You can absolutely be open about where you stand politically without making it the entire identity of your company or shoving it down your customers' throats. Just my opinion. Xo
