I went in on 12.20.25 and the lovely owner and her fabulous assistant were at the check-out and the assistant asked to go out to meet our cocker spaniel which melted my heart right away! The store is immaculate and smells heavenly. You're guaranteed to find something you didn't realize you needed! So thankful to have this type of specialty gift shop in our community!

Staff were pleasant and the layout made it fun to meander the store and take in all the neat items available. Best of all, it didn't seem overpriced and I was happy with the purchase of a cute baby blanket for my son. They also had gift wrapping available. Would recommend for your next birthday, wedding, or anniversary gift shopping. Great options for baby/kid clothes for family pictures and such.

The selection of jewelry is stunning and most of it was reasonably priced. I always buy a Christmas ornament here as well since my tree is covered in "vacation" ornaments. The only thing I was disappointed in was the price on some of the clothing...I found a hoodie that I really liked but I wasn't in the mood to spend $50 on it. I did buy my husband a really cute cool dri shirt with a map of Topsail on it for $32 though! I would recommend checking this place out.

Photography by 3Spade7Star @3Spade7Star_photography…read moreJanuary 25, 2026 - Sunday The Black Cat Shoppe was on my to go see list in Wilmington to see if I could get on a historical tour in a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, they don't have historical tours but they do have tours on foot and it was not feasible for me to do after having a surgery on my hip & leg - still healing. So I browsed the store for a long period and had the most fun with using the coin operated crystal vending machine. For two quarters you can get one to three crystals with a turn of the knob on the machine. I was lucky to get three crystals several times. You don't know how many or what kind of crystals you will get, yet it is fun, and the crystals make a great gift to give to people. I got a lot of green aventurine crystals and crystals I usually would not select like dalmation jasper & a dull moonstone. It was a steal since most crystals are $1-3 each for the sizes I received of these crystals. Alyssa was very engaging and stellar in providing me information and generating more sales effortlessly - just by answering all my questions and showing me different rings stocked inside the ring display. She was delightful, memorable, and helped me select the perfect rings to wear on my index and third finger. I got 3 rings for $24.99. Other items I purchased was: money attraction incense & oudh resin in a glass bottle for incense, unique oracle cards with funny yes & no answers, stickers, a pamphlet detailing all the places where television series and movies were filmed at in Wilmington, North Carolina, and post cards. The postcards were only $1. I should have bought a book there that I thought I already had. The book is The Ghosts of Old Wilmington by John Hirchak. The book is signed by the writer. I had two ghost books about Wilmington but it was not that one. Yet it is another reason I should go back to The Black Cat Shoppe. I plan to come back here and go on their tours later in the future. This is a place I plan to visit again the next time I come to Wilmington, North Carolina.

Not only did I have a cordial conversation with the owner, but I was personally invited to an upcoming special event open house. There are several boutique shops in the region, but I've found none other than Fancy Flamingo that carries Angie brand clothing items, a brand I have sought out for decades and usually could only find in specialty shops in the Asheville and Savannah areas. I was thrilled to find three items that I fell in love with, and two were on sale, so my money went far. Even the full priced item I purchased was a great value as it was very reasonably priced for this area. The friendly service, aesthetic appeal, and wide selection of clothing brands that I recognize and love will bring me back quite often. I have made up my mind that there's no need for me to visit big box discount stores for quality items at reasonable prices. I am convinced that I can pop in to this boutique in my own neighborhood and find exactly what I want and have a pleasant shopping experience.
