They stock an impressive array of candles, and the nice guy behind the counter told us that was how the owner started the business! The candles were so successful, they expanded to more unique and interesting items! I love the burlap cutlery bags, and purchased 3 sets! I also picked up a pair of super boho silver and leather earrings that I've gotten tons of compliments on since I've worn them endlessly! I also love the assortment of teas and picked up a couple pouches for my tea time! My friends and I enjoyed the humorous tea towels, cute signs, and and inspiring artwork! We were impressed with the aesthetically designed displays and loved spending time roosting in this nest! If you are in the Staunton area, take a gander! The prices aren't "cheep", but the quality is totally worth it!

Daffodils lined the white picket fence as well as the perimeter of the building. I loved the flagstone walkway and we knew we were in for a treat. With grounds this immaculate, there's bound to be a gorgeous shop inside! Ohhhh, we were right! I just kind of stopped in my tracks when we opened the door and took it all in. It was beautifully appointed and displayed with care and attention to details. Every table, every shelf was meticulously arranged with unique gifts and décor. Much of the inventory is modern and new, while other pieces are fabulous antiques. This is not your run of the mill shop, for the wares are carefully selected to spark joy and evoke creativity. One of my fav pieces were the carved graphite writing implements. I purchased several of these cool "pencils" which were really works of art in themselves! A whole area is dedicated to gourmet foods, spices and teas. Another section features bar ware, and yet another delicious candles! Old knives, coins, fishing gear, vintage tools, beer mugs and cigars are some of the items you will see in this unique shop. We left with our hands full and our heads filled with decorating ideas! The place is a bit pricey, but money ebbs and flows, go for it!

We bought the "spicy" honey, birthday cards, antique and new lures and a children's book. Glad we noticed this gem in Afton and highly recommend you stop in.

We recently road-tripped our way from Buffalo NY down to WV for no better reason than to visit a…read morenew place together. We stayed in Bridgeport WV, about a half hour from Weston WV, where Appalachian Oddities is located. Weston WV has many paranormal ties, including a huge historical asylum that dovetails with civil war history, too. So a mystic shop like Appalachian Oddities fits right in here in Weston. When we first walked in, we actually weren't sure if it was a shop or a museum, as the entry vestibule is staged so well as an undead parlor, haha. But we were soon warmly greeted by the shop owner, and welcomed inside to take a look around. Appalachian Oddities is inside a repurposed house that still has much of the original footprint and charm. So each area of the store is in a different room of the house, with lots of peculiar gifts to explore in each space. I ended up purchasing a couple gifts here, one a prayer-style candle for my horror-movie-loving brother that had a Freddy Krueger design on it. I also purchased a necklace for my daughter that had a lovely etched wood raven pendant. Our twelve-year old son went to town here with his Christmas money, and bought a board game called "Pandemic", and a local artist print of a painting of the Joker, Jauqiun Phoenix's rendition. As it turns out, the asylum in Weston is a short-listed film location for the next Joker movie. In addition to the shop, Appalachian Oddities has an escape room attraction. We did not participate in the escape room when we were there, but did see a family going in, and could overhear the screams, scares, and fun coming out of the escape room. I overheard the cost was $25 per person, and the people going through seemed to be having a great time well worth the cost. My husband spent some time chatting with the very friendly owner, who also runs a paranormal enthusiast group out of their meeting space in the back of the store. The group ghost hunts together in the area, and have had some intriguing close encounters! If you live in this area and are interested in paranormal sightings, definitely check out this group. If you are visiting Weston WV for the asylum tour or any of the other area attractions related to the mysterious unknown, (i.e., ghosts, aliens, cryptids, etc.), Appalachian Oddities is a great gift shop stop! Even if ghouls aren't your thing, it is still fun to stop in for a peek at the paranormal.

There's also a pretty nice selection of cute hippie-ish jewelry too. There's also some items that seem a little counter to the eco/environmentally-friendly theme that the store seems to be cultivating. For example some mass produced wallet-type items and fast fashion gloves. They're cute, but felt a little out of place with the natural body products, pot paraphernalia, and bulk spices/herbs. Overall, we like this shop and almost always pop in when we're in the Davis/Thomas/Oakland area for outdoor sports.
