The moment I walked in, I found myself giggling and smiling from ear to ear! I laughed so hard that…read morea customer stopped me to ask what treasure I had found- they had to see what I was laughing over. ;D The Doodling Bug is the cutest little boutique filled with locally-made items. They had everything from t-shirts to pillows, hair pins to home decor. I walked away with the best smelling glycerine soap and body cream made with Honey and Sweet Tea! Definitely plan on being back the next time I visit North Carolina!

Doodling is what I do when I'm in a boring meeting. Others doodle to pay attention. In both…read morecases, some of those doodles are more creative than other doodles. I guess that's where the name "The Doodling Bug" makes sense. The Doodling Bug is a tiny shop of creative, tangible doodles by NC locals. The home decor things like hand painted signs are equal parts funny and serious; the t-shirts celebrate NC; the hand-knit hats, scarves, slippers and baby sweaters, are cute and soft. There's a limited selection of jewelry, a nice change of pace from other like stores; and the body lotions and scrubs are in not-so-common scents. The chalkboard, which I didn't see right away buried as it was amongst all the other wall art, is a nice gift for celebrating doodling -- classic style. The Doodling Bug is a good stop if finding a gift from local creative people is a gift preference for you.

I just want to give a quick shoutout to this store! Me and my sisters went there about 2 weeks ago…read moreto get permanent bracelets which we absolutely LOVE. The service was amazing and the quality that you get is incredible. I also purchased a necklace that unfortunately broke within a few hours and I couldn't drive back because I was from out of town and flying back to Boston the next day. I called the store and April ( who was wonderful) helped me. She shipped me a brand new one to Boston and no extra charge. I'm wearing the necklace now and I'm absolutely in love. When I am ever back in that area, I will definitely go back !

My sister and I had made an appointment to get matching permanent jewelry as we recently celebrated…read morea birthday and wanted to commemorate the occasion with something special. We drove from Durham for the appointment and unfortunately, upon entry, were received with abysmal service and (lack of) interaction with the staff. No one greeted us in or even acknowledged our existence until one lady finally stated, "you my 3 o'clock?" As she proceeded to keep walking into the back before we could respond. She later returned and sat at the jewelry station staring down at her phone and continued to ignore us. Needless to say we left immediately. It's really disappointing, especially when you want to support a local business and do something special with your twin.

I love that they have staples and closet basics, as well are some more eccentric pieces and accessories. They even have a reward program!

I arrived at 4:15 pm and the store was closed. Not only had I wasted a trip, I couldn't give the gift I purchased because the recipient was going out of town on Saturday. When I went in today I was told they were closed for the holiday and I said I came in Friday, which she then told me they were closed Friday. That's actually impossible because the receipt says July 3, 2026 and pick up 1:45. They're happy to take your money but don't stay true to their hours. There was no mention of closing early, no sign on the window/door. Just be careful because the only refund they offer is a store credit! Had they contacted me, I might have been able to make it up there by 2pm. Unfortunately this is just BAD customer service.

The two instructors were so kind and patient with us, and showed us with a practice piece how to get the hang of metal stamping. We then could pick out a bigger piece to be our "real" piece, and we were allowed to take our time and make our ornaments with various fonts and symbols. They have a ton of options in terms of different metal pieces we can make as well as an almost endless supply of stamping characters, and it's so fun to be able to make something like this for loved ones! They're perfectly imperfect. Value wise, the class is incredibly affordable and I'm sure I'll be back in the future to make more pieces. The store itself is really cute and has a lot of fun trinkets!
