    I get in this store and easily spend too much money, buying things that I didn't even know that I needed. There is such an eclectic assortment of guilty pleasures from which to choose! There are the typical basketry of all sizes and shapes, candles, soaps, knickknacks and novelties, but also some very unique food, coffees, teas, condiments, spices, and groceries. I found some sugar-free syrups that I have been ordering online and having to pay shipping! There was a large cooking section with a gadget for any need. This is certainly the place to find the perfect gift for anyone or any occasion. I was super impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the store and with the associates. When the line for checkout began to get greater than 3 deep, an extra associate was quickly called to the registers. Every associate with whom I interacted was super nice and helpful. The store is located in the Shelbyville Road Plaza so parking is plentiful. The World Market Website states that the goods sold are handmade from around the world. That is likely true for many of the items, but I did see a great deal of mass-produced items too. I'm sure that I will return whenever I have a 'hankering' to redecorate or have gift-giving needs!

    Visiting family in a neighboring city and decided to check this place out. I found many interesting buys for myself and family. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. They have unique furniture, dry goods and items from around the world. Something to peek everyone's interest. This place is definitely worth stopping in.

    Quite an eclectic mix of home goods from food and spices to furniture, clothing and kitchen paraphernalia. If you take the time to browse the pristine isles you will find some great deals. My wife and I purchased discounted low carb coffee flavorings, olive oil and a cold brew coffee apparatus. The staff were prompt, courteous and observed all COVID mandated guidelines. The store is located in a busy mall area off of Shelbyville road in the St. Matthews area of Louisville. Getting into and out of this destination is a challenge but worth it.

    Cost Plus is a bit of a guilty pleasure when it comes to buying unique items and food items. Despite being located in a very over crowded shopping plaza, this is just a nice place to come and browse all the aisles. COVID precautions are in full effect and there is even curbside delivery that is offered during this time. My favorite spot to browse is the food item sections. I love the candies and chocolates native to where they are coming from. I was highly satisfied with my choice of a lemon drizzle Kit Kat. The trinkets are also another plus to this awesome store. The items are very unique and all the gadgets are fun to check out and attempt to use. If in the area, I definitely recommend checking it out and browsing.

    The hardest part of visiting Word Market...is getting out without maxing out my credit card! The thing I hate about this particular World Market is it's location. I mean, naturally, a store like this will be near the mall(s) in any given city or town. But Shelbyville Road is a mess. I hate driving out there. This last weekend the right hand lane on that side of the street was moving slower than the people walking on the sidewalk! But....such is the nature of the beast! Everything here is just so cute! There are unique and lovely furniture pieces, fun art, rugs and pillows and kitchenware. Oh my! There are also fun and interesting food stuffs from unfamiliar places! And there is a small attached wine and beer store. I love looking for something new to try. It is a joy to walk around and explore and decorate my home in my head. Somethings are affordably priced and somethings are still pretty pricey. But I do really think there is something for everyone here. The store is clean and well organized and you can certainly find what you are looking for (and many things you aren't looking for but suddenly want!) I will absolutely be back. And I will gladly take one of everything, thank you!

    I love this place! I especially love their kitchen collection. There is always something new to discover in this store, even for my overstuffed foodie kitchen. Today I found this ridiculous-yet-useful Pizza Scissor Server. Yes, it is a huge pair of scissors that has a server attached to them. You can slice and serve with one swoop. You must check out my picture to see its silly ingenuity. Then there is the Mugly: ugly sweater for your mugs. I also found this pomegranate seeder. Has anyone ever found a good way to separate the jewels from a pomegranate without sacrificing lots of juice? World Market has the answer! And if you need a paella pan, this is also the place. World Market also has a collection of beautiful handmade jewelry that looks like they came straight out of pages of Sundance Catalog...but at a fraction of the cost...like 10%. (I understand that Sundance says they pay their artisans a fair wage...but I have trouble believing the huge difference.) I practiced self control and only bought 2 pairs of earrings...this time. World Market also has a vast world foods section plus coffee and teas. If you are making a gourmet basket as a gift, this is the best place for it. I am also a fan of their furniture. The selection is not unlike that of Pier 1. But I am a bigger fan of WM than Pier 1. It is just so much brighter and less claustrophobic in here.

    Packaging was excellent and extremely secure.

    I've always enjoyed World Market. The store is very neatly organized without feeling over crowded with stuff, stuff, and too much stuff. In other words, I always feel like I can take my time strolling the store and not feel like I've missed anything that I might want to add to the purchase balance. I especially enjoy their wine selection and food section. WM got me attached to an organic wine that they no longer carry. Oh well...that's alright. Each new wine I've tried I've enjoyed and that's because their staff have always been confidently knowledgeable of their "around the world" selection. I ask a question and their answer always rolls off their tongue without hesitation. From taste to finish to heaviness to comparisons based on my preferences. They promote great sales for members where if you buy 4 bottles of wine you get 20% off. That turned out to be a free bottle for me. I've not tried any of the wines - the sales lady recommended all of them based on my taste preference. Risky approach, but based on my previous experience (from Atlanta to Houston) with having positive outcomes / recommendations I'm willing to take the chance. Foods, spices, teas, coffees, and candy are always a joy to peruse. You can easily find familiars and newbies. And believe me when I say it's highly likely you'll be satisfied with trying a newbie. I purchased Lemon Snap cookies (nicely displayed next to Ginger Snaps) the other day and oh boy...they are really, really tasty. I'd also like to add the quality packaging. The packaging is thick and tightly sealed to help keep my lemon cookies fresh. The purpose of my visit was to purchase a laptop table. I searched online high and low and finally came across WM. Of all places I visited online WM had the widest selection. It was greatly priced with a 10% discount. It had to be assembled, which took me approximately 30 minutes. It was not a difficult task, but I did have to unassemble and then reassemble because I didn't do a couple of things correctly, even with me reading and following the directions. I should have known myself better, as I usually do better if I read the instructions backwards. In other words, seeing how the end product looks and working my way to the beginning is how I roll sometimes. I'm happily satisfied with my purchase. The table is very sturdy, solid, and guess what??....it doesn't wobble! It's got great weight to it, so it feels far from cheap. Have fun checking out carefully selected great products from around the world!

    Bought the Zoe rug blue Persian. Looks perfect with my sofas! So super soft!! Everyone comments on the texture! Feels like velvet! Even my dog loves it!

    Fun idea to share with during a holiday party.

    I like visiting this place during holidays. It's such a cute store, with lots of little ideas for gifts or a sweet tooth. They have a little of everything such as International inspirations, candy treats, kitchen gadgets, holiday decorations, coffee/tea, clothing, alcohol beverages, great gift ideas, essential body oils/soaps/lotions, and furniture. This time I left with several of items I wasn't expecting to buy. A mini box of fresh honeycomb was to hard to resist. I just had to try for the first time. Some rose facial mist and natural bar soaps were a must. They smelled so good I couldn't resist. Last, I don't think you can leave this place without grabbing a German inspired treat. This place is so much fun even if you are just window shopping. Great place to pick up some holiday decoration ideas too.

    I ran into this store by accident and after visiting, here's what I understand. Ballard Designs is…read morea company owned by Williams Sonoma, and has a similar feel to it as Pottery Barn. This is the first outlet in Louisville and was originally announced as a temporary location; however, it must be doing well enough to have stayed in place. It took over the space vacated by the now bankrupt Steinmart. There is nothing fancy about this spot. It very much feels like a dumping site for furniture and is organized by type/room. It is a land of rejected, broken pieces. The signage attempts to excite you - 50% off or more - but then you flip the tag to find out it is still outrageously overpriced on top of being broken. The facility is large, and most workers were either at the front desk or helping people wedge items into their trucks. I appreciated watching the quiet nature of the staff today as a customer carried on a conversation with the customer service team via her cell phone. She was a lot to handle and you could tell they didn't want to escalate the situation. Apparently this spot has a following. Bring a large pocketbook ... and duct tape.

    This is a Ballard Designs outlet- shoppers can score great furniture/decor at a great discount!…read more While shopping, I found a rug for my son's nursery at 80% off the listed price.

    I was helping my friend who is blind shop for a dress for an event. Neither of us had ever been to…read moreMagnolia & Fig before. My first and only complaint about the place was that it was hard for me to find. It sits on the corner with a couple of other buildings and it's a very busy area and their signage was not clear to me so I passed it a couple of times before realizing exactly where it was. It wasn't immediately apparent that there was parking in the back either. Once we figured that out, it's all good from there. Magnolia & Fig provides a light and pleasant space to shop for clothing, accessories, and other knickknacks. We were greeted warmly by the attendant, and she gives us the option to browse or asked us if we were looking for something specific. Once we told her what my friend was looking for and her size, the attendant got right to work, pulling dresses for her to try from the racks. We were brought eight or 10 different dresses to try in a small but nicely decorated fitting area. The two employees worked together to bring us outfits to try, giving us space and time to try each one, but giving opinions and thoughts, when asked to. They were very kind patient and efficient. They were sensitive to the needs of my friend as related to her disability without talking down to her or making her feel out of place. It was a very positive experience and we found the perfect dress for my friend's event. In the store, you will find lots of ladies clothing options in addition to some jewelry, hats, shoes and even pretty things for the home. I think my friend paid about $150 for the gorgeous dress and the earrings that she purchased. We would both recommend Magnolia & Fig for a fun boutique experience and a nice selection of clothing to choose from.

It's organized perfectly. Magnolia & Fig carries some unique brands of clothing, accessories & home decor. I chose a gorgeous summer dress, two bracelets and a necklace for my daughter. They have an awesome website to shop online and offer private shopping appointments. They're open Wednesday-Sunday. Check out their sales rack as well. I saw some great deals on cute dresses. I will definitely be going back & checking out more clothes & jewelry.
