Love this shop! Local foods, t-shirts, soaps, etc. I could miss a flight roaming this shop!read more

Great shop with local goodies and items made by local artists…read more I had a lot of time to spend because my flight was delayed. This shop had the best items because they are made in North Carolina. I got snacks from NC and ceramics made by NC artists as souvenirs. The other shops carry things that says the city names but made in China. That's why I prefer this shop.

If you're looking for fun, pretty or just cute, paper for party invitations, or announcements for a…read moregraduation, a wedding or baby shower, or just want your own personalized stationery, journal, or stamp, Cute Buttons would be a good place to check out. If you aren't looking for paper supplies, but instead want some offbeat or whimsical gifts, then you might find it here. Some items are made by local arts-and-crafts creative people using ordinary items like bottle caps made into magnets or scrapbook pages made into picture frames. They even carry some soap and lotion made with honey from North Carolina hives. The t-shirts are funky and modern and not at all like you find in the mass retail shops. Overall, a nice local store to get a not-so-ordinary gift or create your own personalized stationery reflective of the real you.

Elizabeth calls itself a home and garden store, but it's a store you stop by when you have your…read moregarden essentials from other places and want to add extras in the way of decorative items. Most things seem too nice for outdoors, so perhaps they're more for an indoor garden room. Either that or I totally misunderstand the garden part of home and garden. It is a good store to find a nice gift, with the small statues of every kind, clocks, mirrors, pictures, wrought-iron wall ornaments, and even some personal items, like jewelry, scarves and handbags. In the back room is the most beautiful log cabin dollhouse that I've seen in some time. Elizabeth's is a relaxed store, where they've kept the feel of the house. There are two small rooms on the first floor and a larger room with the larger items, upstairs. Despite the limited space, there's still a light feel. In my visits to Elizabeth's there's been something new to see. Certain things are moved to another area, displayed in a different way, giving it a fresh look. The owners seem to have a great deal of retail experience that shows in how they treat their customers and in their down-to-earth attitude -- especially noticeable during the holiday rush shortly after they opened.

Well, a chocolate lover and a box of chocolates are basically magnets.. so when I spotted Chocolate…read moreSmiles, resisting was never really an option. They have a huge variety of chocolates, from dark to sweet, fruity ones to even alcohol-infused chocolates YUM!! I got a few alcohol truffles and some dark chocolates and couldn't even wait a day to finish them. The owner is super sweet and took her time explaining all the different chocolates they have. She even gave me a free dark chocolate truffle to try. Also great for gifting. Chocolate lovers, definitely check this place out!

Kilwin's makes the BEST caramel apples!!! I have at least three per week lol. The caramel apple…read morewith peanuts is my go to but the turtle apple is equally as good. I cheated with a different location and was disappointed to say the least. I am forever a customer of Kilwin's in Cary, NC. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away and a little caramel doesn't hurt. Customer care is always great! They are courteous and always ready to greet me.

Stopped by this ice cream place to check out their flavors. They got tons!!! I couldn't decide…read moreafter tasting few flavors.

Medium and large were even bigger. At this location, the small scoop on top of my cone was NOT worth the price. It was very disappointing. This should be a max of $3.
