There are so many scents to choose from and you can even combine the two. There are also many containers to choose from and they change out with the seasons. The best part is that you can take your container back and refill at a discount. We will definitely be back.

It was a fabulous bouquet that still has beautiful "legs" several days later. We were both impressed with the variety of colors and flowers contained within the vase, and of course the kindness behind it. But! There was one key downside from this most excellent floral experience - Cats! When the vase arrived, we placed it front and center on the fireplace mantle. A few minutes later, we let the cats in from the garage, and our Boychik cat made a bee line for it and jumped up to have a sniff and a nibble. We then put it on a lower surface, which allowed both cats to enjoy (when we weren't looking), and later knock it all over. On that note, it's been hard to fully enjoy the experience with the vase either in the sink, or hidden behind closed doors at night or when we're gone. And despite of all this feline drama, are we looking forward to the next bouquet (for any reason)? Absolutely!

Visit the truck at Riverside Farmers Market on Saturdays...switches to Sundays in May!

If you're tired of re-purchasing items for a single time use, the Waste Less shop makes it really easy to cut down on bulky packaging and re-using what you have. They even offer donated jars/ bottles so if you forget your own or want to try something, you only pay the cost of the product. I always enjoy going in on Tuesdays for refills on laundry detergent, shampoo, and body wash. (Tuesdays are 10% off for Tap Tuesday). Essential oils can be added for scent. They offers different products types like dry shampoo, sunscreen, deodorant, skincare, tinctures, tea, and some thrifted clothes for women and babies. Waste Less will also put on themed community swap events from time to time which is always very fun and nice to donate with purpose and to try new things for free. Whether you're starting to make the switch to more eco-friendly products or you're looking for more eco-conscious gift ideas, this is the place to go!

I also like their literal zero waste everything. It's a great place to go to get ideas on how to reduce waste and also fond reusable products that aren't always easily sourced. The price is a little high up front but when you think about how often you'll reuse items from the store it starts to make sense and ends up being cheaper in the long run. In addition the staff has always been very helpful and nice.

Really liked the Butterfly selection, but it didn't come with hand soap.. Picked up a few bath gels for our trip in a few days...

The best customer service we've had was provided by the young female worker. She assisted my wife and me with everything and when we came back separately a few days later she remembered us and went above and beyond. Rare to find a Star employee these days who enjoys what they do and are sincere in their approach. She's all that and more. We will visit their Reno Public Market location and plan on having a long love affair with Amour.

Needless to say I went back for another 10 candy bars as I found the bourbon and pecan pie was my favorite and I needed more for myself and others.

But so much more than that. There are unique items you won't find in typical mall locations. My "oooh and ahhh meter" (usually reserved for fireworks) was off the scale. Price range is affordable but they also have the absurdly high end range. When they are not displaying Holiday, they are showing lawn and garden items. This store is a keeper. I love it.
