I'm living temporarily in Jersey city and needed to get some birthday gifts for two very different…read morepeople. I stopped in here and found so many good finds for both of them and price range was decent for both a "nicer" gift and some stocking stuffer type gifts. From candles, candy, socks, self-care goodies, mini treasures, jewelry, clothes... there's definitely something for everyone. The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

PERFECT GIFTS for Every Need! I literally cannot with how…read moreamazing this store is and how awesome their staff is! I had to quickly grab a housewarming gift for a first visit to a dear friends new house (while my grumbly husband waiting in the car). I knew the perfectly curated store ALWAYS has an impressive array of custom scented candles on their back wall (replete in an artful gift box with box of matches = PERFECT!) So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ... Thank You Kanibal & Co.! #Lifesavers

I absolutely love this store. They have beautiful furniture. In comparison to homegoods, this is…read morehas way more indoor and outdoor furniture and big lighting fixtures and rugs. This is really the store to go to for main furnishings, not just decorative. But they do have incredible holiday/seasonal decorations. If you certainly do the heavy lifting and bring the large items home yourself but they also contract out to a third party that you can arrange for pick up and delivery too. This store has beautiful mirrors and wall art too. It's easier to find multiple pieces of things here, unlike homegoods where you'll find only one. So things like matching chairs, wall art, mirrors, lamps that you need multiples of, this is where to go.

It took over ye old Toys R Us location in Carle Place so you know the ceilings are high. For such a big place, the aisles could have been wider, especially considering they opened during the pandemic where we all need s p a c e. However, they have a lot of great things and if the checkout line wasn't long (everyone is so excited about this new place so they were all here), I probably would have chucked a few things in the basket to check out. Granted I just made an expensive laptop purchase so I'm grateful I didn't check out things here to give my wallet a little breather. It's definitely one of the go-to places I will check when needing homewares.

I'll admit, I was nervous to leave NYC's shopping scene behind when I made the move to JC. I was considering living in Hoboken for a while, and Washington St has a ton of really great boutiques. Jersey City? Not so much. There are bars and restaurants as far as the eye can see, but when a gal needs some new clothes a new tapas joint popping up every week just aint gunna cut it. Tia's place is everything that it needs to be. Price points are very reasonable, think similar to Forever 21 or H&M. The clothing selection is stylish and trendy, and if I buy a shirt that goes out of style next season but I get a few good wears out of it I won't feel that bad. They are all stocked up for summer and there was a bountiful selection of maxi dresses and light and flowy chiffon tops when I was in the other day. Tons of cute costume jewelry and tote bags as well. I was hoping that they would have jean shorts but to my dismay there were none. I didn't have my wallet on me but I'll be in again ASAP to buy some cute summer staples.

Necklaces are hanging on tree stands, lingerie is draped on pink chaises, and it just feels like a huge 2 story closet filled with Tory Burch, Rampage, Max and Cleo, Hale Bob, and lots of other designers.

I can totally see it as my go-to when I need to stock up on Voluspa candles for myself or as a gift! They carry a small, well curated selection of edible items as well.

It makes sense that I'd gravitate toward crystals and dreamcatchers; regardless of their genuine healing properties, I can wholly buy into the power of placebo effect. That said, my frugal Asian immigrant upbringing absolutely recoils at the idea of spending hard-earned income on rocks, no matter how pretty they are or how much they're touted to improve one's spiritual well-being. Over the past few years, I've been experimenting with adding in some accessories to my wardrobe. During a visit to Philly earlier this year, I accidentally shattered a cheap hematite ring I'd picked up as a souvenir from Shasta Caverns, and I've been keeping an eye out for a replacement. I spotted a bowl of similar rings -- except they were rainbow-y! -- at the cashier counter here and couldn't resist picking one up. I love how inclusive this shop is: they proudly support Native/Indigenous artists and they're queer-friendly, too. I walked out of this shop sporting warm fuzzies... and some shiny fabulously gay finger bling, to boot.
