We happened to walk by Threve by chance of where we parked and when I walked in, it absolutely took my breath away with how much I connected with their style. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. The brick walls, the modern rustic feel. AHH. And the owners? THE NICEST PEOPLE. The most down to earth, genuinely kind hearted people. It was so refreshing to hear about the items in the store and see how much they loved curating their corner. Yes, some of the pieces are pricey, but that's what you pay for GOOD solid items. It was so worth it. You can buy so many gifts for people in here, stocking stuffers, birthday- anything! We walked away with a beautiful coffee table and dining room table from Hungarian barn wood. Like what!? We spent a lot but we know we'll keep these pieces forever. I can't recommend this enough.

Threve is one of the most beautiful stores in downtown Wilmy for decor and home inspiration…read more Full of farmhouse tableware and an assortment of other goodies, I love to go here and find unique knick-knacks for my home. Price-wise, it's on the spendier side so definitely come prepared to break the bank a bit when you fall in love with their wares.

My friend bought a cute Pelican (which we unfortunately found elsewhere for $14 less.) but all-in-all, I didn't think the prices here were bad at all. HIGHLY recommend!

You might pass this shop, not thinking it is open. We did. But people park around back. The shop is…read morefilled with art, crafts, vintage stuff and fun junk. They even carry locally found megalodon teeth! We spent an hour exploring every nook and cranny of interesting decor, art and antiques. The clerk was friendly and super accommodating. She showed us every shark tooth in the case. They carry a lot of coastal themed decor and much of it is locally inspired and crafted. I even saw some hand crocheted animals. Prices are reasonable. They are currently decorated for Christmas and carry a lot of vintage and locally crafted ornaments. There is plenty of parking and a ramp for handicapped access. This is a great place to find gifts, home decor and shop local.

This is a kitschy local artist shop in a nice shopping center. I was brought in by a local friend…read morewho is particularly art savvy and interested. There is everything from handmade jewelry to figures, paintings, pottery, photography printed large, t-shirts, sports team logo emblazoned memorabilia and catnip toys for your cat. That's just a smattering of what they have. This being art, you can imagine the prices range broadly depending on what you're wanting. Larger items can be several hundred dollars while I saw smaller items down to just a few bucks. Staff was friendly and helpful. The store itself is in what used to be an old bar/restaurant. It has an almost rustic feel to it, although I don't believe the building is truly all that old. If you find yourself in this area you should give it a look.

Booked a "Paint Your Pet" session with my husband and our friends. The entire process was seamless…read more- I booked online and emailed a few photos of our dogs to the email address provided on the booking page. I received an email response confirming the photos were received. We showed up about 10 minutes before our event was scheduled, and were greeted by our expert painter and shown the canvas with photos of our dogs. We were given paint colors for our background (whatever we chose) and the appropriate base colors for our dogs. What initially seemed like an intimidating process turned out to be a lot of fun and was surprisingly easy - we think our photos turned out to look amazingly like our pets! As a bonus, our instructor was AMAZING and we really enjoyed her company and were grateful for her reassurances throughout the evening. We will definitely be coming back to do more of these events!

There are gifts for people who own pets, especially Corgis since the owners have a corgi themselves. The owners are very nice. We ended up getting a painted portrait of a pitbull made by one of the owners and zodiac sign magnets. They have their own free two lane parking spots that is located in front of the metered parking spaces. This is a good gift shop to check out if you're in the area!

A really lovely little shop in Carolina Beach for anyone who is looking to find some unique gifts…read moreor artwork. The thing that makes this place a notch ahead of a standard beach gift shop is the original artwork by one of the owners: Bob Mather. I was lucky enough to visit when Bob himself was working. What a kind, lovely human being. All of Bob's pieces are absolutely wonderful, and because he owns the store, you are able to choose between prints, cards, and other items featuring his work...AND even some of the original pieces. Many are of a beach aesthetic, but there are others that are geared more towards pet lovers. (Dogs, in particular.) You can't really get more "unique" than original artwork, so this place is a great choice if you're looking for something really special at a very reasonable price point. Although the space is relatively small and the parking looks like it could be a little tricky during a busy season, Bungalow by the Sea is absolutely worth visiting. It's a space filled with warmth; curated with care.

Very odd name for this place. It would lead you to believe this store sells pottery. There *Might*…read morebe some pottery in this place but I honestly think this store has EVERYTHING. Let's start off by saying: This. Place. Is. Huge!!! I mean, my friend told me "just wait to see how big it is" and let me tell you, I was BLOWN AWAY by how far back this place goes. Wow. Prices here are GREAT and there are additional sales (ex 40% off picture frames, 25% off distressed furniture, 50% off napkins and placemats, etc.) So much to look at. Plan to spend and hour plus. Randomly, found a Texas Longhorns ornament to take home with me.

But other than that, it's a neat place to check out.
