Jewelry, decorations, household stuff, fandom stuff, art, tumbler accessories, fidget toys, dvd's, clothing items, and so much more. The shop cat also let me pet him. So sweet. This place is adorable and the staff were super nice. I'll have to come back again when I've got a little more free time.

Am a little partial to local bookstores and my star rating reflects so compared to this…read moreestablishment's avg star. So, to sum it up - the place is cozy cramped, but organized chaotically, and am here for it. They have popular books from contemporary authors although limited in titles. They have plenty of classic novels and a wide range of specialty topics. Books are both new and used. Price is retail but you can have that instant gratification vs waiting for package ordered from online. When searching for a specific author or title, don't be afraid to look through the stacked books on the floor. Two level bookstore but most of popular interest are on the main level. Parking in rear.

I walked out with a moonstone ring (that is super high quality and I haven't taken off since I bought it), an adorable amethyst bracelet that was on sale, and a geode for my husband to crack open and see what's inside. Plus a lot of other little crystals for the house. I could spend hours in here reading and collecting all the things I want! They were also super helpful, telling us where to find certain gems, and finding me the perfect ring. They have a lot of really cool items on sale/affordable as well. Definitely worth a trip in, especially if you're a crystal girly!

Since then, I have gained more knowledge and consulted with many geologists, and other businesses that supply crystals, gem, and rocks; and I've learned that STLRocks, does NOT ROCK! Unfortunately after many encounter, lately I have come to understand the owners are in it for profit only, don't have the knowledge needed to help customers. When asked about quality, sources or even just the properties of an item they got very defensive. They sell lab heat treated quartz and amethyst as other crystals while still calling them "natural." Educate yourself before buying anything. They are business people, out to make money with lack of transparency on their products. They are very evasive when asked too many questions.

My mom bought a few as gifts for my brother in Wisconsin (St.Louis Born!) We plan to make a trip back before Christmas to get some St.Louis items as presents. The service was the best too!

I walked into this shop feeling hollowed out, carrying a weight I hadn't been able to set down all…read moreday, and I genuinely don't think I realized how close to the edge I was until Barbara met me there with quiet, steady kindness. She didn't ask invasive questions or try to fix anything she simply listened, noticed, and spoke to me like a real human being who mattered in that moment. Her presence slowed everything down. In a space filled with small, beautiful objects, she helped me feel anchored again, like I could breathe and stay. I left with more than purchases. I left grounded, steadier, and reminded that sometimes the smallest interactions can keep someone going. Barbara has a rare gift for holding space, and this shop is infinitely better because of her.

However, on the day I visited, I just wanted to change this up. Very well curated collection right as you walk in the door. The only reason I didn't end up with a huge pile of books from the first table was that I was limiting myself to 3 books max. Well, for the day anyway. Nicely organized and a joy to just walk around and look. Well worth the extra effort of getting around the construction to check them out.

The Novel Neighbor is a great spot to shop, browse, and find gifts…read more The store has several different areas and little nooks. I was in the children's section looking for a book for a five-year-old and there was a family with their kids' reading books while they shopped, it was so sweet. I didn't stop after I found a book, I had to look around at all the cute other stuff they carry beyond books. A St. Louis section, candles, puzzles, games. Because it was the Holiday season they had check-out downstairs. I pulled a sucker and got to choose a book wrapped in brown paper, so it was a surprise. Also got a wooden key ornament to hang on the tree, so fun. Don't forget to browse the Romance side of the store, lots of goodies there as well.

What a comfy book store with lots of great finds!…read more Came here on a weekday afternoon to browse some books for something new and to get a few books from my TBR list. The space inside feels older, it has characters & that bookstore feel you can't explain. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the store was! They did a really good job of organizing books so it wasn't hard to find what I was looking for and in addition to it was easy to browse I ended up spending over an hour just looking around. The downstairs area also has a used book area which I love because it makes them more affordable which helping someone explore an older book for the first time. Anytime I'm in the area I'll be popping in to see what's new (or used) and grab a few books. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to surf through hard copies of books to pick what's right for them. They also had a section of items you can gift as well!

The moment I walked in I was approached by a woman doing a petition. She asked me to sign after…read moreverbally giving me info. I told her I'd like to read about it before I sign and she kind of looked at me like I'm crazy and said "I like to be more informed before I make a decision." She told me no one else had to think about it and I told her I did. That was weird and uncomfortable, especially when she turned from me and asked my wife. She gave the same answer. Selection is pretty broad but the store is very political and it's obvious. They have a sign that said "everyone is welcome, except ICE.", Black Lives Matter, gay pride, and anything that is demeaning to republicans. It's honestly distracting and disappointing. Someone who may not have the same beliefs may not feel comfortable walking around with fascist stickers, and everything that is demeaning towards "the right". Value is good and as I said before the selection is quite broad. There were a lot of pro-gay books which you never really see anywhere else. There are also all kinds of self help books and everything else you might expect. Overall I do recommend this place, but I can see how a large majority of people would feel really out of place here. That aside, it's a really nice establishment with very friendly staff. Not so crazy about the woman in the front pressuring me to sign her petition. I'm sure she meant well though.

What a lovely experience. From being greeted by the perfectly posed Royalty (his highness is an…read moreorange cat that might... might let you pet him) to his owner, the lovely Goddess in question, the entire store was a delight. The store is well-organized and very sharply presented. At first you think, "there is not much here," but if you ask for something you need, the proprietor has you covered. I picked up the Fresh Vibes spray which has been a wonderful way to end my day. Every purchase is packed and presented with love, care, and of course magic. The shop's owner is happy to share her knowledge about how to use the products as well. When we are next in the area, we will return!
