I was so happy to find this shop just in time to get my granddaughter some great gifts for Christmas. From the cute window display to the wonderful selection of well-made toys inside, this shop is a treasure for Tumwater and Olympia.

This store is wonderful and the reason I want to leave a review today is because a lady who works there was so helpful. Our granddaughter is getting older, she's turning eight, and it's a little harder to make good gift decisions. I wish I knew this woman's name, I don't, but she helped point us to things that are really on the nose. Recommend this store highly. And ask the staff for recommendations.

The…read moreselection is nicely curated and the staff is helpful if you have a question like "what would a kindergartener like?!" I always find something new and interesting and they have a loyalty program, too. Parking is in the lot and can be a little tight but it has never been an issue for me. Sister shop paper luxe (stationary and gift) is great, too!

Wow!!! I was in fairy heaven!!! Lots of variety in their storefront, even more available online…read more This unique store is both a walk in store and their warehouse for shipping. Which is why they have two names: The Fairy Store and can be found @ efairies.com. So if you look online ahead of time, but want to lay your eyes on it first, this is the place to be!!! I found three perfect little friends to take home with me. They just fill my heart with such joy to look at them. Their customer service was amazing. I felt so peaceful and relaxed to be in their building. And they packed my boxes so nicely into my bag with a pretty bow across each one, it was like a little gift to myself when I got home. Absolutely loved it! If you are using GPS to find their store, just know they are in the same shopping center as the movie theater, but not at all in the line up next to it. It's more kiddie corner across the parking lot in a quaint little spot of its own. The store is slightly up the hill across from everything else, so it's easy to miss the first time looking for it. If you love fairies, I highly recommend coming in to check out this store. It's just so delightful and fun!!! And don't forget, twice as much selection offered online!

I've only ordered online, so I don't have any experience with the brick-and-mortar store, but my…read moreonline experience was fabulous. I ordered quite a few fairy garden items, and when I tried to check out, there was an issue with the computer system that was preventing me from completing my order due to a shipping glitch. I left everything in my cart for the night, and before I was even up the next morning I had an email from them explaining they were having shipping issues, and to please let them know if I needed assistance. I was able to call and reach a real, live person (even during Covid closures)! She was so helpful and patient. There were some other computer glitches preventing my order from going through properly, but after a couple phone calls and a few emails, everything got ordered and sent out to me right away. It also happened to be the last day of a promotion, and I know the poor gal was running her feet off trying to straighten out the shipping issue for multiple customers. She was so nice and so friendly, even while trying to handle multiple orders, glitches, and a complete lack of support staff due to covid. Everything I received was even better than I had expected (fairy garden stuff is really just so cute!), and I was so excited to add everything to my garden. Also, as someone who frequents several online fairy garden stores, I can say that eFairies has a very unique selection. Most of the items they carry aren't available anywhere else, and I will absolutely be purchasing more items from them in the near future!

Wow!! So many LEGOs! I visited here with my 13 yr old son, after a recommendation from one of his…read moreteachers, to check out if it's as good as it sounds. My kiddo loves LEGOs and will build any set immediately, when gifted to him. We have a little reward incentive in our home that if he reaches a certain number of points from completing chores, he will get a LEGO set from us. He wanted to stop by here ASAP afterwards lol. Parking is super tight and tricky. Entering the parking lot to get to the front of the store, you have to turn uphill and it's one-way parking so I did not have an easy time figuring out how to exit.. Despite the tiny parking lot, the store itself is amazing! There are sets built and displayed with affordable prices for many of them, definitely cheaper than the official LEGO store. Noticed plenty that were under $200 and great value for the sets you're getting. Of course, there are nicer and bigger sets but you don't have to go big. You can still go home with something you like and come back another time because they offer stamp cards! You get 10% off your next purchase after spending $100 at the store. Obviously not a big discount but hey, something is better than nothing, especially if you plan to return for more LEGOs. We decided upon a moderately sized Mario Cart two-piece set of Boo and Wario in their go-carts which was only about $54. Not bad, imo! The staff was nice and asked if we were looking for anything specific when we entered but let us be when we told them we were just browsing. We got their attention when we were ready to check out. The employee that helped us did strike up friendly conversation with my son, which made our interaction not so awkward, since the store was fairly quiet and almost empty at 3:45PM on a Wednesday. Plenty of legos, good service, great bang for your buck. Only thing to dislike would be the parking lol we will still be back.

Any Lego store it's going to be high on my list regardless of where it's located or how big it is…read more This place holds a special spot in my heart as it's a local shop run by some Fellow lego nerds! The place has a solid selection of new and used sets as well as some really cool custom builds! The iron throne is probably the favorite custom I've ever seen! They've got a good trending to great selection of mini figs including tons of Star Wars and older figurines. I found a number of doctor related ones for the ole collection as well! The sets ranged from some cool older sets that were in original boxes to newer sets that ranged in price from retail to a good deal! I picked up the Great Wall architecture a set for less than anyone online and got to talk legos with some guys is legit hang out with! The stock rotates quickly so if you're in the area, it pays to check in frequent-ish. If you love legos or have kids that enjoy them, this is your spot!

This place is overwhelming with the amount of different types of beads, cord, and other tools necessary to accomplish this task. The staff was very helpful with our questions and helped us decide on the proper needles to use, etc. We went in to buy a few things and $200 later and in about 30-45 minutes we were out. They have public restrooms right as you come in so that's nice if you've traveled a bit to get there. I would definitely return.

You can pick from a few different fonts, they have gold or rose gold engravings, and you can add a little picture too like a cross or a butterfly. It's really fun and the people that work here have been so sweet every time I've come in. Definitely my favorite shop!
