This store merely copies other downtown Rome Ga businesses by intentionally carrying the exact same products.

This small business is located in Rome, Georgia, which is a small town. Generally here in Rome, small businesses and entrepreneurs go out of their way to support and respect one another. However, this particular one goes out of their way to acquire the same vendors and products as their neighboring small businesses. I'm not even sure what their angle is, are they kitchenware, bath and body, home and garden, specialty foods, small gifts? The answer is yes, they are everything. And any new business that comes to Rome, you can bet Living and Giving will mimic and become that business as well.The buyers for this business can be seen in neighboring retail stores with clipboards taking notes and photos for up to hours at a time. Then, magically, a few months later they are carrying the same products as their neighboring retail stores. But fear not, there is always a harmless misunderstanding of an explanation.Retail is competitive in nature, there is no denying that, and sometimes products are limited. Some duplication is inevitable, and every small business in Rome is aware of this fact. Generally, everyone supports one another and does their best to avoid "stepping in someone else's lane". As a buyer for a downtown Rome, Ga business, I can attest to the active avoidance of picking up a product that is a fellow store's "thing". This business however, has intentionally and repeatedly engaged in direct competition with fellow local businesses for at least the last 10 years, and it has never been a misunderstanding or a harmless act.

The best place in Rome to get any kind of gift for someone or something nice for yourself! With a wedding on the way, I've found the perfect gifts here for wedding shower hosts with their engrave-able cheese and cutting boards. Everyone in the store is SO nice and helpful and really wants to help make sure you find the perfect thing, with good prices, and great service!

As my sister, Jodi Wong, shared we love this space! Lisa was welcoming and gracious. The newlyweds loved their gift. It was Asian inspired AND from Rome, the bride's college town. We enjoyed our brief visit and hope to return soon.

Absolutely delightful store! Lisa was so helpful. She helped my sister and I pick out a wonderful wedding gift and a few other selections. She wrapped them beautifully. Excellent customer service. On top of that, she directed us to a fabulous place for lunch and a local shoe store - a true local ambassador!!
