Wiloe is one of those rare shops that feels curated, not stocked…read more The space leans colorful and a little unexpected--in the best way. It's a refreshing shift from the typical neutral gift shops, and everything feels intentionally chosen. You'll find a mix of home pieces, small gifts, and items that actually feel different. The card wall is a standout--funny, a little irreverent, and far more interesting than the usual options. It's an easy stop for a last-minute gift that still feels thoughtful. And then there's the back "closet"--filled with adult toys and cheeky gifts, done in a way that feels playful, not tacky. It's a fun nod to the building's past life as a massage parlor (wink, wink), and adds a layer of personality you don't see in most shops. They also host after-hours Mahjong nights, which is such a unique touch--small groups can play and shop in a more private setting, which fits the neighborhood vibe perfectly. That's what makes Wiloe work--it doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's still well-curated and intentional. It fits the neighborhood perfectly.

Well curated, local shop that has plenty of unique items for yourself or for gifts. I was able to…read morespeak with the 2 owners, who were very friendly and helpful when I asked if they carried something kind of specific (local cat toys). Sounds like they're always sourcing new vendors and unique items to sell, so you'll find something new each time you visit!

The store is clean and organized in a way that is easy to navigate. All beads were clearly labeled with price. They had almost any color, or material you would want in beads. They also had sections of charms and pendants. You could really make anything- necklaces, earrings, bracelets, even keychains! There is a lot to choose from, I was a little overwhelmed at first but the staff is AMAZING. They were very well staffed and were very willing to help. There were already made pieces around the store, or they were able to look at inspo pictures and find beads/pieces that matched. Once you pick out your pieces, they give you a board to lay it out, and string to bead it on, then they take care of putting the clasp on and finishing it. They have tall tables to work at so you can stand while you work, or sit in a stool. You can drop in anytime they are open, but they are only open until 4:00 during the week. We scheduled a private party which they do after hours, is $20 a person not including jewelry, and you need a minimum of 8 people. We also brought our own drinks and snacks. As far as pricing, everything is very clearly labeled, then it was an addition $5 to put the chain and clasp on. My necklace was $40 total and most pieces made by our group ranged from $30-$60 for the most part. I will definitely be back!!

They also offer kits for everyone from beginners to experts, and have classes to help needle-pointers improve their skills. Busy store with adequate staffing. Located in the Park Towne Village mall on Woodlawn, it is easy to reach and provides loads of parking. As to value, bring your wallet. They sell a nice selection of quality products, but prices don't seem very competitive as everything seemed very expensive. Before you go, suggest you take a look on-line to get an idea of what is a good price.

I have debated writing this review for awhile now as I keep giving them multiple second changes in…read morehopes my experience improves. Which sadly it has not. I have always felt unwelcome at the store. You would think that with the recent needlepoint boom hitting the younger generation they would embrace and be more welcoming. Half the time they don't even greet me when I walk into the store then rarely offer to help. When I ask for help, it seems to be a burden. My last straw was when they were rude to someone else who was brand new to needlepoint (which can be overwhelming). Don't waste your money here. Especially if you are new and looking to learn. There are several needlepoint stores in the area that I would highly recommend over Po's

I don't find many bookstores that have a horror section so I was glad to see they had one. Service is great and the selection of overall items is good too. Big plus for having good parking!
