Bottom Line: A gorgeous store with lots of gifts, accessories and such…read more While shopping Main Street I came across Legacy Collective and although I was feeling hot and a bit worn out I could not resist going inside. Their window display was super charming and it drew me. Inside I found lots of goodies like accessories, stationary, jewelry, candles, home decor and such all nicely displayed. The store had a bit of a warm, natural feel to it and perhaps that is because of the plants. The items that caught my eye the most were some sturdy barrettes, a pair of lovely hoop earrings and a "crazy plant lady" sticker. Lititiz has a lot of great specialty shops but I think this is my favorite!

The gift shop is a "must see" before or after you visit the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. We purchased…read moreour lunch tickets and visited the gift shop while waiting for our other guest. Sign up for the free shopper card. You earn points in the gift shop and restaurant. A cashier told me that you get more "bang for your buck" if you spend the credit earned in the gift shop. The gift shop is huge. There are two entrances. Make a plan to meet your family before you go downstairs. We had spotty cell service and could only text in the gift shop. There are so many items available. This is a perfect place to Christmas shop and buy gifts for everyone. Every category and price point is covered. I bought charms for $1 with names and inspirational words. There were toys, games, doll houses & furniture, clocks, sayings, clothes, sports items covering the surrounding states/teams, slippers, T-shirts and many things for pet lovers. There was a beautiful quilt area with hand crafted blankets, covers, place mats and so much more. From giant light house statues to tiny smooth gem rocks, this place has you covered! This is one of the best places to get a unique treasure or gift.

This is a very nice store with lots of home decor items, but the prices are EXORBITANT!read more

You can make your own bracelets right there, you can shop for supplies (beads, charms, wire, etc.), and you can buy already made jewelry. The staff was wonderful! Friendly and helpful. The selection was incredible! I LOVE the beads I bought here and have not found anything similar elsewhere. (Can y'all ship to me? ) A really great spot for learning more, browsing and shopping, etc. Had a great experience here and left with an awesome haul of beads and charms. If I lived in Lancaster, I'd be here weekly, if not daily.

Another unique and special shop in downtown Lancaster. They have toys and kids products you just…read morewon't find at your typical big box store. The shop is large with plenty of play areas for kids. My own kids spent hours here and didn't want to leave. We have so many toys. And I'm not one to buy any more since I feel like my kids just have too many! But I couldn't help but get a few things here since the inventory is just so unique. They have such great educational toys and things I've never seen before in any other store. One toy in particular that stood out was a marble maze constructed of large blocks that was manufactured in Germany. The quality is high and the service is helpful. We all walked away just having the best time here.

After 1 min. or less of testing the owner lady came and snatched the tricycle away. She did not say a word, just came and took it right out of my daughter's arms. I was super offended.

They have everything that you can think of from t-shirts to keychains. Car magnets, do they even make bumper stickers anymore? Magnets, sweatshirts, and many more items that I cannot remember everything to be exact. I have become one of those people that ends up buying magnets whenever I visit a place. My fridge hates me a bit because of it, but it's all good. Every time I go to the fridge, I can take a trip down memory lane. I grabbed myself a magnet and then headed to the keychain section. My keychain for my work keys had bit the dust and I needed a new one, thought why not get one from here since it will be kind of a conversation starter. Staff here were super pleasant and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. I asked where else would be good to visit since I was in the area and they were like an encyclopedia of information.

So many finds in this store. I am a big fan of the locally-handmade candles sold here. The scents last, even when the candle has burned down. The candles have super fun names too. These candles make such great gifts...even though I end up keeping them for myself! This store sells artistic teaspoons. I bought a set for my mom at Christmas & she got teary eyed, she loves cooking with them. I added a photo so you can see how special they are. The staff is ridiculously friendly & helpful. Everytime I enter the store, I am welcomed & always end up having a nice conversation w/the crew. I much prefer supporting local small businesses over purchasing gifts online or at a corporate mall. I recommend this small business & urge everyone to shop small. Keep being creative Calkins!!
