I have driven past Tweed more times than I'd like to admit and I never went it. In my mind Tweed…read morewas a store full of tweed fabrics which is not really my thing. My curiosity got the best of me and I finally decided to give it a try and let me tell you Tweed did not disappoint. Tweed is like a home goods boutique selling all of your favorite brands like Scout, Yeti & Lily Pulitzer just to name a few. They also do monogramming (for an additional cost) and custom complimentary gift wrapping. Tweed has easily become my new sanctuary and go-to place for a cute gift, new trinket or handbag. Don't wait as long as I did to treat yourself to Tweed!

Had to pop on here to rave about Magdalena's Botanica, an Esoteric and spiritual supply shop. It's…read morein a great location, inconspicuously tucked into Churchill proper on 25th St. The energy here is impeccable. They have so many different things from herbs to candles to books to tarot decks to crystals, etc etc. High quality items that are priced fairly. I was especially impressed with their wide variety of herbs. I especially loved their house made candles. I purchased some herbs and candles. The owner was there and checked us out. And she even offered to cleanse and dress my jar candle for me for free. Which was such a lovely touch. The staff was so warm and welcoming. Now that I've seen how fantastic this shop is, I am going to be a regular customer. Black owned, LGBT+ safe

The staff are really friendly too and will assist with finding whatever would be most similar to the item you're requesting if they don't have the exact thing you need.

My husband and I stopped by here on our way out of Stumpy's (right across the way) as we were…read morelooking for a candle for my father-in-law who is picky about what he likes. He loved a smell from another candle place but refused to return because how strong the smell was. When we walked in we were greeted and asked what we were looking for. The gentleman that assisted us immediately found a couple candles, which would have been enough, but he also brought us to a table in which they had a new scent. The scent was perfect. They had not yet named it so they were nice enough to print us a custom label. There was also a young man there starting his own line of body butters and scrubs, TMOORE CREATIONS. It was not difficult to support this young entrepreneur as there were a few different scents and we ended up getting the cotton candy scrub. We also made sure to scan their QR to keep updated because the entire experience was great. Oh and I even found out they do candle making parties. If you are looking for a way to get people together for a custome event, think of this.

The wallet was super cool, a full size Aztec design retailing for $14.99, thanks Counts Hallmark! We were given a promotional fortune cookie upon entry, inside was another coupon for in-store discounts! The salesperson was very friendly and hospitable guiding us to various departments. My friend and I then browsed the store (hey, the coupon is how they get you in, but it's a good marketing strategy) and found that this is much more than a greeting card shop. My friend purchased a cute garden flag, they some nice choices. Need a nice gift for someone? This store has a great selection of mugs, stationery, jewelry, figurines, toys, collectibles, candles, scarves, ornaments, gourmet candy and more. It's well stocked with gift bags and wrapping too. (The gift wrap was a little high priced, I usually get mine at the dollar store). Hallmark is well, the hallmark of the greeting card industry. They set their standards high and this store definitely lives up to that name. It has my stamp of approval. The additional items we bought were 20% off with my coupon (this is how we do it!) so we felt satisfied with our visit! The cashier

It's the kind of store where you can easily find something for just about anyone and any occasion. They have a great selection of greeting cards and some of the most unique wrapping paper. Also, we've picked up several Jellycats here for our niece. Prices can run a bit high, but that's part of the charm since many of the items feel thoughtfully curated and aren't the kind of things you'll find everywhere else. The staff is consistently friendly and always greets us when we walk in. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gift, this is the place.

I love the vibe at Wick & Sip. I've gone a couple times and it's always a great time.

They have many jars, fragrances, and beverages to choose from and really have something for everyone. It's a black-owned business and they have a few other locations too. This is the best value I've found for candle making sessions in the area.

It was cool... Having attended a few candle-making classes before at other businesses, it was…read moredifficult not to compare this experience to prior ones. The bar was previously set and unfortunately Wick & Sip didn't fully meet it. More scent variety would have been great. It was also nearly impossible to smell the fragrances from the samples, so you had to reference the full supply bottles to get a worthwhile whiff. Luckily my class was relatively small, but even so, getting the chance to smell certain scents was cumbersome once they were claimed by others (again, you had to use the full bottles because the smaller samples were too faint). I didn't mind the selection of drinks, but please keep in mind that they come with the purchase so don't expect huge portions. Also, both times, the gentleman poured noticeably larger amounts for my guest compared to mine. No big deal given that these aren't top shelf drinks, but it was just weird and seemed intentional. It's downtown so parking can be frustrating, but fortunately I went at the right time and managed to park in front of the establishment. I would definitely go again if invited by someone, but I would first consider other similar businesses if it's an outing that I plan myself or just feel like making candles as a solo activity.

When we were looking for lavender, someone else was kind enough to tell us exactly what table number they were at. The selection is phenomenal, but there were definitely things that could be improved. Nothing the staff on the store level could do about not having safe outlets in the bathroom that are definitely a hazard, but it should be known. And they are so understaffed that the line took so long that I went, found the bathroom, and came back to see absolutely no movement in the line. One thing staff could control though, is putting potted plants between handicap parking spots. If someone had a van with the ramp for a wheelchair, they're screwed with those. So Stranges advertises themselves as handicap accessible, but only to a certain degree. Edited for autocorrect
