I was looking for a place close by to purchase some Charleston items for our corporate gift. I…read morestumbled upon Pluff Mud Mercantile while looking for Callie's Hot Biscuit items. They have a good selection of made in Charleston food items: hot sauce, jams, jellies, tea, salt, biscuit mix, cookies, honey, just to name a few. I found the prices to be very reasonable without the arduous drive through downtown to find street or paid for parking. They also have Charleston made tea towels, soaps, lotions, shirts, jewelry, and signage. I also found out they offer soap and candle classes in which you can make your own. I would recommend anyone looking for some great gifts for themselves or others, check this place out. While it may look tiny, they truly have amazing things here.

We had been in the area for a week and had not found a nice little shop like this yet. Everything…read morewe had found were overpriced boutiques with little to no personal touch. This place is off Maybank Highway on Johns Island. The lady who owns and runs the place was very nice and told us a little about her shop and how she has been in the Charleston area for over 50 years with this business. They have a TON of shells and unique gifts ranging from Christmas ornaments, wreaths, nightlights, jewelry, beach decorations and much much more. Everything was moderately priced. They have a lot of handcrafted items and we picked up a few. We asked her how business was and she admitted that it has been really slow and hard the past year or so and that if things do not pick up she will be forced to close after 50 years. If you have a chance to stop by this store, please do and pick something up. It was honestly the best shopping experience we had all week while visiting the area.

I was in town visiting my daughter, and I wanted to buy her a couple of eNewton bracelets. We…read morefound that this boutique carried them so we stopped by. When we entered the store the employees were working on a display of some sort, and they said hello. That was the last we heard from them. We stood in front of the ENewton counter for at least 10 minutes hoping that someone would come unlock the case so that we could try some things on. No one even attempted to help us. There are plenty of places in Charleston to buy these bracelets. The lack of customer service lost them a sale, and we were the only ones in the store! There were three employees and no other customers. I'm sure that one person could have stepped away from the display to help us. What a disappointment.

Every 5-6 weeks she stops in for a refresh of highlights, lowlights, and a touch up on her gorgeous blonde hair. I have to admit I like it too, no matter that she might come home with a little surprise in hand - there is a boutique in the front that carries really cool stuff. You ladies would really like it. And Renee', my wife's stylist, is spot on every time. Sooo, my wife thought I should join her one time, "maybe you could get a pedicure ", she said. I knew what that meant! I let her make me an appointment with Pam, the nail professional, and joined her in her pampering. And oh boy, was I pampered! Aside from all the Hee-Haw about a guy coming into the shop for something other than a gift, I was indulged with a spectacular foot massage, nail trim, calf rub, and yes...great conversation. Best money I've spent in a long time, and I'm going back for more. Thanks y'all!

Part boutique part hair salon, Charmed is all southern hospitality. It's not located in the King ave shopping hub, so I imagine this lil boutique usually only sees locals. But thanks to Yelp, we stumbled in the doors during our girl's weekend in Charleston. I am so glad we did. This gift boutique has the cutest stuff! My bestie and I each got a few things, but my fave things I purchased are two personalized items, and not because they're great items (though they are), but because of the service I received when making my purchase. Charmed does a lot of personalization. Monograms are literally overflowing in the cash wrap section of the store. And when checking out, a lot caught my eye. I was dying to get a finger tip towel with a pineapple monogram embroidered and a flamingo monogrammed door hanger for my mama for Mother's Day. The trouble with personalized items when ya don't live in town is you're not there to pick them up when they're ready. But Charmed was so accommodating. They made it so I received my mama's flamingo in the mail in time for Mother's Day, and even though the finger tip towel is usually provided by the buyer for monogramming, they were understanding that I didn't have one with me given I was traveling and all, so they included it in the price and got one for me to be personalized. And when they dropped it off in the mail? They called me to tell me it was on its way!! THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! I may not live in Charleston, but I am a Charmed shopper for life. I will be back every time I am in town, and if you're close by, I highly recommend you stop in. These ladies will treat you right!
