About one year and a half ago I was leaving an appointment and decided to stop in this store I'd…read moreheard advertised on TV. It was close to Christmas so I decided if I found something it would be great for a gift. I barely got noticed in the store and when I finally chose something I went to checkout. The woman was pregnant she made no acknowledgment of me, she put the merch in a box not giving me a bag and shoved the box toward me no thank you, come back and see us nothing. I walked out thought about how rude she was to and wish that I had declined the merchandise. I could tell I was not welcome there and every time I see the commercial I have a bad feeling. I love specialty shops but that one shop I will never shop in again. I felt discriminated against and it didn't matter whether I could afford it or not. I have experienced such negativity from a merchant in some time.

I can see why Cromson Ridge upstairs location is closing! I've been there several times since the…read moreannouncement. At 40%, then 50% off prices still too high. They have tons of merchandise left which should tell them something! Poor quality, high prices don't make a bargain. Outdated food and soaps that no longer smell. Good luck getting rid of all this stuff!!

From serving and hostess wares, seasonal decor, garden goods, clothing ranging from casual tanks and tunics for cheap, to shirts with sayings, to beaded evening gowns for a bit more! Tons of purses and stationary options. Quirky gifts for him, her or new baby! Jewelry, dishes, a wall of just teas and flavored sugars! Yum! They have well known brands such as Brighton, Vera Bradley, Life Is Good, Lilly Pulitzer, Michael Aram, and more! I could go on and on but you must see for yourself! If I lived nearby this would be my go-to for special gifts! Definitely something unique for anyone of any age on your list! Every price range too! And they wrap beautifully and complimentary! The store was so well staffed and everyone was helpful! The owner who I met was also very kind and appreciative of our patronage. A must stop for gift giving!

I'm officially an advocate for the greeting card industry…read more There. I said it. I love sending thank you cards, Valentine's cards, Halloween cards, birthday cards, get well cards,congrats cards, and most of all, I love sending 'just because' cards. Dont' get me wrong, I like hand-made cards as much as the next cat, but no one seems to know me like Fresh Ink (a line carried by most Hallmark's) knows me. Emotionally. Comedically. I would secretely love to meet the team of writers who come up with their witty and ridiculous cards. The last time I went in, I had a panic attack thinking they had limited their Fresh Ink selection, but calmed down when I found the rest on the bottom shelf. Three cards will run you around $8, though that doesn't include their oversized cards, ones with sound and the highly embellished ones. If you're looking for a deal, the back right corner of the store has clearance from 25-90% off. I've found thank you notes, mugs and beautiful photo frames for excellent prices on these wonderful shelves. To round out a pretty awesome store, the staff at this location is always friendly and happy to help me. Everyone loves getting mail. Especially when it's a card with a sombrero-clad chihuahua on the front....
