Nerdy by Nature used to be located in Crossgates Mall, but moved to Troy earlier this year. The…read moredowntown Troy location seems like such a great fit for the vibes of this small business specializing in the metaphysical and unique curiosities. There is a lot to look at in this space, with a nice collection of original artworks as well as items on display (and available for purchase!) from variety of Horror Movies and other productions. There are items for sale from multiple local artists/vendors you may be familiar with (Deanna Campagnola & Opal Hexen, I'm looking at you!) as well as ritual supplies, tarot decks, and crystals. Self proclaimed as "supplying tools to assist you in being your authentic self" and encouraging their community to "Let the weird in," I highly recommend you visit Nerdy by Nature during your next Troy adventure. This is a safe space for all humans and a great spot for gifts and oddities for yourself and your loved ones. I love that Nerdy by Nature also has their own collection of vegan hand & body soaps available in the shop; I left with a beautiful bar featuring sage, lavender & lemongrass that smells divine.

I found displays…read morefrom artists I already love and follow, and was introduced to several new-to-me local artists, too. The customer service was exactly what you'd expect from a small shop like this; the cashiers were happy to let me browse in quiet, and engaged in pleasant conversation about the artists and items I'd chosen during my visit. So much caught my eye while I was browsing - jewelry, stationary, wall hangings, table top art, and so much more. I thought things were very reasonably priced for a handmade vendor market and spent less than $20 on two small gifts for friends. I will definitely be back during my future visits to Troy to see what new treasures await at this boutique.

We did, and I am so glad! This witchy lil' store has a great curated selection of fantasy and sci-fi books for all ages, as well as great gifts (stickers, bracelets, toys, etc.) for the nerds in your life. I asked for some help finding a gift for a former advisee who wrote his dissertation about queer and trans youth reception of middle-grade medievalisms, and the owner was so helpful and sweet! I picked up several things for the gift, and the owner also included several pieces of a lovely tissue paper to wrap them in. Well worth the stop!

Parking is also much easier as the lot is larger and other large chain stores in the same complex are far enough away with their own parking area.
