“E.C. Pops is an absolute must-stop! You guys, from the moment we walked in, Lance and the whole team made us feel like old friends. We’re visiting from Nebraska, and they went out of their way to share Baltimore’s history, point us toward amazing food, and recommend the best places to explore. The shop itself is full of unique and beautiful pieces that honestly capture the fun of Baltimore, but what makes it truly special is how kind and welcoming everyone is. Such a fun, memorable stop, we can’t wait to come back again!! ???”

“My husband and I visited this adorable shop during our “babymoon” to Bel Air. We found some adorable things to take home to include in our baby girls nursery ? the items were beautiful (artwork, baby book, and doll) but the highlight was the kind shop owner and staff! They were incredible kind to my husband who had found a special “treasure” in another store and they celebrated the finding with him— a healing moment hard to explain in a review but suffice to say it was a kindness beyond expectations. Thank you for a beautiful shop experience!”
“Been there three times in the last two weeks. Amazing selection of items for everyone on your list. Beautiful cards, stationary and wrapping paper. Love the jigsaw puzzles we got there. Amazing self care items and candles. Lovely assortment of baby products and beauty accessories. Absolutely LOVE my.large Baltimore tote bag!”
“I came here for the first time and loved the selection of cute items! I loved their selection of cute baby items in particular. It’s always nice to support local businesses like this one. The person who helped me (I think they were the owner?) was super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back!”
“The absolute best gift shop of any kind, anywhere in at least the continental US. I feel pretty confident about that. Anyway amazing, magical, mystical, surprising, and for purchase (that last being the only real differentiator between the gift shop and the museum itself). Run, don't walk and all that.”
“a wonderful, beautiful store. Educate you what’s happening around the world and inspires you..
It must come in and see of all the unique and beautiful items that they sell.”
“This store is more than the sum of its parts. I went in today, not needing anything in particular. I ended up having a nourishing conversation and leaving with some Dream Lion incense. I almost second-guessed myself on the incense, because it was a little pricey, but I'm home in my study with some lit now and I think it's the best I've ever bought, its transcendentally good and it gives me faith in the quality of Tortuga's stock list in general!”

“My wife and I love this store. It us tucked away just outside downtown Bel Air. They have great home decor items with a country feel. The staff is pleasant and willing to help. They also are one of few retailers in Bel Air that sell Vera Bradley.”
“We got some pączki from this charming shop today. They are excellent! We'll definitely come back for the packaged foods and ceramics or crystal or other home items.”
“Mary is an amazing person. Everything she stocks, from clothing to jewelry to almost anything you're looking for, is mindfully sourced from artisans around the world and around the corner. A great store and a great owner.”
“Every single item at this store is curated with a focus on quality craftsmanship and artistry. The owner took the time to walk through her inventory and helped me pick out the perfect gift for a bridal shower.”
“The cutest store! They have so many amazing unique home finds. Perfect place to find gifts for friends and family that they will actually love. Very friendly and helpful staff! Could down hours looking through everything!”

“My wife and I went here for the first time back in January of this year and found a beautiful, colorful and handmade/painted clock (picture of clock hanging in our house attached) by an artist from Massachusetts! Because someone else purchased the one she had in her shop the same day we were there in early January, we had to wait until she got a new one in and it came in Monday of this week. We went to pick it up today. We just love it! The owner of the store couldn't have been nicer thru the whole purchase of the clock. Her shop also has many other unique and artistic items for sale including another clock like the one we just purchased. We will be back!”
“I am a vendor and maker at both the White Marsh store and the new holiday pop-up in Annapolis, and I truly can’t say enough positive things. I offer a higher price-point product, and when I wasn’t meeting my sales goals, Danielle provided more ideas and guidance than I can count in turn my sales almost doubled. The store is beautifully organized, the staff is incredibly friendly and kind, and my work has been featured on their Instagram page.
Funny enough, I accidentally applied to Makers of Maryland, but decided to take a chance and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made for my business. I truly can’t express how much Makers of Maryland, and Danielle specifically, has changed both my business and the impact it has had on my life.”
“I went to The Gift Shop on their opening morning, and could not be happier with how cute, fun, and perfect this shop is! The owners were also super giving and sweet and gave the first 50 shoppers a swag bag, as well as free drinks and snacks. The colors of the store are fun and vibrant, and as usual, the clothes for purchase are stylish, the accessories are wonderful and hilarious, and the quality of everything is great. I cannot wait to regularly shop here for myself and others!”
“Great Gift Shop at Harford Mall!
Always stocked full of Unique Merchandise & Fun Gifts!
Staff is always there to help and offer their friendly assistance!
Well worth checking out!”
“I stopped by today, 2/3/2025 around 5:20 to pick up some thank you gifts for my coworkers. There was a young man and lady working and they were both incredibly helpful and kind. They went above and beyond for my order and I am so grateful for them! I’m bummed I did not catch their names to give them their credit, but I would recommend this location to anyone!! If you were the workers who helped with my order, thank you so much!”
“Great experience! The staff was friendly and helpful, the fruit was fresh, and the chocolate-covered strawberries were delicious. Everything looked beautiful and was ready on time. Highly recommend!”
