This is such a fun spot in La Encantada! I love their variety of gifts, focus on community and fun pop up events. I've enjoyed their cards and stickers especially, they have some great and unique desert themed ones that just make things feel more personalized when sending. They also offer a huge selection of local made products and vendors, from candles to local salts/chocolates/popcorn/treats to hand towels and home goods. I've purchased from Creative Kind and also started frequenting some of the local vendors they carry too because Ive loved their products so much! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming too. So glad this shop is here!

I love Creative Kind! They have an amazing selection of local, curated items and offer super fun workshops. This is my first stop when gift shopping, regardless of the occasion, because there is something great for everyone in this store. I also love that they host pop up markets in the space and invite in other makers. I've discovered some great new products and artists here and always have the best time at workshops (I didn't take pictures, but the cocktail, charcuterie and dried flower arrangement one has been my favorite.) They also offer private events, which I've stumbled upon a few times and always seem lovely. Hilari has the best taste and is always so friendly when I stop in. It's been lovely getting to know her and see this shop grow and thrive over the past few years.

Love going to Creative Kind in La Encantada to find gifts for just about any occasion. They have a really great selection of stationary goods, self-care, stickers, personal accessories, and home decor. I suggest getting on their email list to be aware of any discounts or crafting events they have coming up. We've been to many of their workshops and have had a blast meeting new people and artists. The only hard part about shopping here is trying to stop myself from getting more things than were originally on my list!

I have gone to two different workshops at Creative Kind and had a blast at both of them. Melissa is incredibly helpful and fun, and getting to know the other people in the class is great too. I'm always checking for their next workshop! Definitely recommend.

I was so impressed with the products at Creative Kind! I went in for the first time to shop for gifts to send to my sister for her birthday and had so many tough decisions because I wanted to get nearly everything in the shop. My sister loved her gifts! The availability of locally and hand made items is a refreshing change from the mostly big box stores in the area and you’ll find items there that you can’t find online or at corporate retailers. I also love that they offer classes for unique crafts, I hope to get involved in that soon. Thanks Creative Kind!

We are finally back to promoting our business at conferences and trade shows and I wanted to offer somthing different at our booth instead of the ususal swag. Our customers include museums, universities and historical societies, and they love the AZ/western items like the green cacti notepads, the small AZ scented candles, the cactus key chains and of course the Stickers!!! Thanks Creative Kind for making our small biz stand out generating lots of buzz at the conferences!

Shopping experience was A+ - adorable merch, pleasant atmosphere, friendly but not overbearing shopkeeper. The workshop was exactly what I hoped, and then some. Organized, supplies were plentiful and ample, fellow participants were fun, and Hilari is a great instructor. Great value! I'm excited to return for more. When we scream #shoplocal, this is the epitome. Thanks for being here!

Let me introduce you to the cutest store at La Encantada. They have the cutest accessories a girl could ask for. I purchased a blue hat with a super cute desert design. I get so many compliments on it! They even sell clay polymer earrings which are my favorite especially from Sigfus! They now have a location in Phoenix. This place is great if you're in search of a gift for someone or just want to treat yo' self.

I LOVE this store for cards and gifts! The employees are incredibly sweet and kind. Every card and gift I have purchased here have been met with incredible thanks and "Where DID you get that?" I then send them to the website for Creative Kind! LOVE this store!

What a breath of fresh air in such an expensive and for me at least, unaffordable shopping mall. I like to window shop but this little shop is so cute and inviting I always have to go in to see what new local and Arizona themed treasures they have. It's not just stickers and journals (which, are to die for!) but also postcards, kitchen items (unique mixers like prickly pear!), and art projects to starts. There are so many options for inexpensive but cute AZ gifts. If I did Christmas stockings I would load up on goodies here! There is something for everyone whether something for you or a gift for a lucky individual. On a final note they also do custom gift boxes for all occasions and all different types of people (think chefs, artists, kids.. etc).

This store is amazing! Featuring the best products from locally owned artists, you are sure to find plenty of gifts for friends, family and yourself (and I always love to support women-owned businesses)! I also did the floral arrangement workshop and Hillary was informative, playful and efficient. I left with a beautiful arrangement and the knowledge to create plenty more in the future. I can't wait to do another workshop with them!

I really appreciated how much they adhered to pandemic safety environments. I didn't go shopping much in the past year, but they created a safe space for when I had to pick up gifts for friends. There was always someone to greet you, provide suggestions and the team members were doing customer counts (for room capacity) every 10 minutes. Each experience seems like it was bespoke to me. Also, I really found their mission statement to be a spark of joy. I was chatting with an associate (or manager, i couldn't tell. Everyone was so attentive), and she was so passionate about how the company wanted to spread joy in any way they could. Especially given the world's current conditions. They offer classes virtually and have been very innovative.
