    Part of the Ornament Room
    Morgan M.

    I have been coming to Wit's End for years - the place has really evolved over time - originally it was just your average gift shop, but now they have transformed into a very high-end gift shop. The store is broken up into different rooms/sections, there is the card section filled with many different handmade cards; there is the jewelry section with various designers like Pandora, Kendra Scott, Swarovski, and even some costume jewelry, etc.; another room has designer clothes, shoes and handbags - there are entire Vera Bradley, Brighton, and Jack Rogers sections among those; to finish out the first floor there is an area with candles, different serving dips / sauces, and chocolates. The second floor has more of the home decorations and they always rotate for each season, well besides the Christmas Ornament room - I believe that is up year round and is filled with all the collectible ornaments you could ever want. Additionally upstairs there is a children's toy section, a pet section, a celebration section, a sign section and more. Finally in the "basement" there are more decorations and then a wine / serving section with many different glasses and plates and crystal. Basically this place has it all - if you are ever in need of a gift (and willing to spend a little more money) then this is the place for you. I love going back to NY and coming here during the holiday season as the place is decorated top to bottom so fantastically. And the pieces you find here you won't be able to find any place else in the Capital Region. Rating on the Morgan Scale: Overall Experience: 10/10 Food Price: 6/10 (based on the dips / chocolates) Drink Price: N/A

    Um, how have I never been here before? When I drove up to it, it reminded me of a theme park with the grand display of ginormous nutcrackers and other festivities of the season. There are so many twists and turns throughout I'm afraid I may have missed something. Jewelry and candy and candles and loads of Christmas bulbs and unique pieces for the home to clothing and the list just goes on and on. What a beautiful store! I read the comments about the staff. I noticed a lot of staff being helpful and attentive. I didn't find them stalkerish at all. In fact they were friendly and helpful and available and worked great as a team upon checkout. I bought a lot of stuff and they put my purchases in nice boxes and bagged everything up neatly. I love this place! I can't wait to go again.

    Be sure to look up!

    This was my first visit to Wit's End and it definitely met my retail therapy need! So many rooms to visit and filled with whimsy. The ladies who work there were all so friendly and encouraged me to come back when the store is decked out for the holidays and the trees are lit up with lights. I'll be back!!

    I would imagine shoplifting could be an issue in a store set up like this.

I need to go back soon and get some treats for my family. Great place to go for holiday treats as they always have something festive for the next holiday. I hope they are open for many, many years to come! Cannot say enough good things about this wonderful shop. I would much rather support a local business first. Small business is very important to the economy and I appreciate all of the hard work these amazing people put in to build their business and keeping it active everyday, especially in these trying pandemic times. It can be scary to even go in stores but this one feels very safe to me. I saw their name on the Grubhub app, too! Would love to try chocolate delivery!! Will have to check that out. :-)

While I was in Mechanicville very recently, I decided to check out Park Avenue Confectionary to pick up a box of gourmet truffles for MOI- I heart truffles! I deserve a nice treat every now and then. This little chocolate and confectionary shop stocks homemade chocolates and candies including chocolate bars (white, milk chocolate, dark, etc), lollipops, special themes (molded chocolates), bagged chocolate covered candies, chocolate covered pretzels, dgift boxes, and baskets. They also carry sugar free varieties too. The prices here are very fair: $9.95/lb for chocolates and $14.95/lb for truffles. I've been to other chocolate shops near my home,, some of which charge almost double. The owner was very accomodating in helping me to customize and choose an assortment of truffles (24 pieces/12 oz box). There were around 20 choices of truffles to choose from, and I was pointing out what I wanted from outside the glass case. This was like choosing what kinds of donuts I wanted for an assortment (give me one glazed, two jelly, three cruellers, etc), you get the idea. The total came out to just under $14 with tax. I brought the box of truffles into work for ME to indulge on while I was crunching numbers and calculations at my desk (my coworkers are on their New Year's diet, hehe). Each of the truffles tasted very fresh and had a nice hard shell outside with creamy and rich ganache inside. The hazelnut was my favorite. The truffles went well with my daily cup of Starbucks Coffee. It took me the whole week to finish the box, munching on a few pieces each day. What a sweet week! Major credit cards accepted (including AMEX). CLOSED on Sundays

    Capital Sawmill Service - Portable Woodmizer Band Sawmill, cuts 36" logs to a slab width of 24"

    This is a great service. I hired Capital Sawmill to mill some lumber after the derecho that hit…read moreour area downed a cherry tree on my property. The wood was too beautiful to just cut up for firewood. The service is pricey so do your math beforehand to determine whether the value of the resulting lumber is worth your investment. For me, the cost was worth it because cherry is a premium wood and I plan to use it inside my home for trim, flooring, etc. Stephen is the owner and came to my site initially to assess my job. Then a few days later, two employees, Alex and Allen showed up with the sawmill on a trailer towed by a truck. Allen is the sawmill operator and I was impressed by his efficiency and skill with the machine. He surpassed my expectations of getting much usable lumber from the logs while minimizing waste. Alex is more of the go-to guy, stacking the lumber in my barn, keeping the site cleaned up, etc. They removed all the waste and were very good about stacking the lumber where I wanted in my barn. Remember that most wood takes at least a year to slowly air dry before working with it. Alex stacked the boards with little sticks between the layers. The sticks are called "stickers" and the process of stacking is called "stickering." After it was all stickered, I brushed polyurethane on the edges to seal them to prevent splits during the drying process. The cost of their portable sawmill service is $200 per hour, with a minimum of four hours. Beware that this includes their travel time, set up on your property, packing up and returning back to their place of business in Nassau. I live relatively close and got about three hours of actual sawmill time for $800 plus tax. If you have the ability to deliver logs and pick up the milled lumber from their business, the economics would work a little bit better in your favor. Another point to remember is that rough cut lumber is not finished lumber. The band saw in the portable sawmill cuts to approximately one-inch thickness (or greater). There are slight ridges in the wood. After drying, my milled cherry boards will need to be planed and then sanded in whatever project I decided to use them. These days, "live edge" tables, mantels and other furniture is popular. Capital Sawmill can cut slabs from your wood for these kinds of projects. Initially I told them I only wanted boards. But when I saw some of the beautiful knot patterns and bark in the outer pieces that were cut from my logs, I decided to keep these also. Alex stacked them along with my straight-cut lumber. Possibly I'll used them in other projects. In summary, these guys like wood and know what they are doing. Allen is very skilled with the sawmill. Alex is also an interesting guy. What does a sawmill employee do in his spare time? He carves wood, of course, lol. At one point, he took out his cell phone and showed me some beautiful wood carvings, including one of an intricate owl that he created for his mom.
