THIS is what I'm looking for in a local gift shop! In a world where so many makers seem to be…read moremaking projects they found on Pinterest, Center Street Mercantile is full of original goods carefully crafted. First of all, location: Center Street Mercantile is not on Center Street anymore - it's on Block Street in the same shopping center as Little Bread and Dark Star. It's a welcome change, much easier to get to with a better parking situation. parking nearby is paid during weekdays, but it's free nights and evenings. There are coin meters and you can get more than an hour of time with $0.25. Second, the goods: Nice variety here of party food, decorative bowls, jewelry, local carvings... Good hodgepodge of things. You'll pay more here than at a big-box store but the goods are fairly priced. They also have a farm fresh eggs sometimes! Third, the candles: Yes, the candles get their own category. The owner of the store has a collection of candles he has made that are scented like different hot spots in Northwest Arkansas - Majestic Lounge, Common Grounds (RIP), Thorncrown Chapel, the ballpark... and they really capture the scent of each of these places! I would buy the entire collection if I had the money, but I do have four of them. Fourth, the owner: SUPER nice! He's always been super friendly when I am in the store but he doesn't look over your shoulder while you're shopping. He's really knowledgeable about everything in the shop. The store is generally open Tuesday through Saturday, but I was super thrilled it was open on a Sunday for the Christmas season and I definitely spent my money there today. I'm really happy to support this local business.

They also have fun open houses and other events. The store is small but has A LOT of inventory. They have a cute kids area with books and toys and a cookbook/food wall that I love. They also have boutique items, jewelry, gardening, local decor, and a greeting card area. It's a great place for buying unique gifts and they have an online shop too. They do have an email list and rewards, but this place is definitely pricey, so be prepared! Employees are friendly and helpful. They even have an Air BNB cottage in the back. However, they barely have any parking, which is a bummer when they are busy.
