I love this shop! They always curate the cutest and unique items. I love shopping at Home/Work for gifts for others (and myself). The staff are very helpful but they don’t hover which I appreciate. I also love the pop up events they do as well as fundraisers for local schools/agencies.

I love their selection of gifts—especially their home goods, jewelry, and fun cards! Also the most helpful staff in town who will help you shop or answer questions. I've also used them to create and ship gift boxes to clients and they always do a great job!
