Good Things is a gem and always a must-stop for me when I'm bopping around White Bear Lake! Every…read moretime I pop in, I find something new--whether it's cookbooks, cards, puzzles, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothing....you name it. The selection here feels endless in the best way. Allow yourself some time because the store is pretty big. I especially love coming here when I need a gift or something Minnesota-based as they always have unique, MN-feeling items that hit the mark. It's the kind of boutique where you can happily wander and browse for A WHILE. I haven't had much interaction with staff beyond checkout, and I've noticed they don't typically come out onto the floor--at least not during my last couple of Thursday visits during Marketfest. That said, checkout has always been smooth. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good browse through a thoughtfully selected mix of finds! Also, highly suggest joining the rewards program and checking out the clearance section while you're here... there could be some great deals tucked away!

We stopped in to the Good Things store while visiting White Bear Lake on Monday morning. This is an…read moreamazing store! I would definitely call this a "must see" boutique. There are 3 parts to this store and you owe it to yourself to experience them all! I started in the style area, which is the clothing part of the store. This is an upscale women's apparel store, with habitat, Liverpool, Johnny Was, and many other upscale brands. All of it is beautifully curated and displayed. You will have fun browsing the racks. The sales associates were super helpful and knew exactly how to interact with people--making customers feel welcome, but not pressured to buy. Downstairs, there is an amazing sales area. Don't miss this gem! Bargains galore and beautiful things! I'm sure it changes regularly. Then stop at the cafe and have a coffee, pastry, or freshly baked cookie. All the treats look and smell delicious. The staff was very sweet and service was prompt. After that, continue shopping at the Good Things gift shop. This is a top notch gift shop the likes of which I rarely see. It is brimming with themed displays for almost every interest or occasion. If you can't find a gift here, you may never find it! Seriously. You can wander in this shop for an entire morning and still not see everything. I hope you stop by Good Things. It's a fabulous shop. Locally owned. Go there for your next gift.

There was a cozy area dedicated to books which I can quite enjoy staying in for a while, and the one staff member I've met there is really nice. However, considering its size, it can't keep me entertained for a while. I can only wander around for so long and I'm personally not too interested in a lot of the stuff there aside from the small area of books. Overall I think it's a nice small spot to chill for a bit if you're bored, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

It's an all kids clothing boutique and everything is incredibly unique and adorable. The owner is really friendly, great with kids (I had my 4 year old) and welcoming. The best part is the clothes are very reasonably priced. I will 100% be shopping here again.

They have clothing that fits real woman's bodies and also short length for those of us that come in fun sized packages.

I think this place is absolutely marvelous darling!

The clothes are outdated and the store is a hot mess, but I saw a cute black and white scarf in the window that I wanted to inquire about. Long story short I did not buy the scarf after rude treatment of me and another shopper. We both walked out comparing notes on how awful the experience was. I predict this store will be closed in a matter of months if not weeks. Pathetic.
