Funny enough my husband wanted to go to The Cotton Gin to shop for Vineyard Vines clothing. I had planned to sit the shopping trip out but next thing I know I'm checking out at Cotton Gin with a new puzzle, bracelet, Christmas ornament, candy and bag. Just when I didn't think I needed anything I managed to find a variety of things at Cotton Gin. As indicated by this anecdote, The Cotton Gin sells a variety of stuff and it's fun to wander through the various rooms of the two level store. Although I most commonly come away with beachy souvenirs it is worth noting that they have high end cotton products like towels, quilts, and such. The Cotton Gin has various locations and the Nags Head store is located at the 14 Mile Post across from the Outer Banks Mall.

Here, enjoy this gift" Well upon wandering with my boyfriend's mom (An OBX local) she recommended we wander into Urban Cottage. She knows my love for home furnishings and high end pieces and figured this would be my thing. And it totally was. Some of the most gorgeous pieces I have come across and they all were so whimsical and effortless. Such a great store. Their candle stick holders and chandeliers were to die for. If i had some extra chump change, I would definitely make some hefty purchases here. Dabbling in some other things like textiles, holiday decor, children's goodies, and pillows/throws, this tiny store packs a hefty punch. Looking forward to coming back here on my next visit.
