Gift Shops
“Kind Goods is a gem in the area and has everything you could ever want or need when shopping for a treat for yourself, a gift for pretty much any occasion (host gift, holiday, birthday, just-because, etc) and for all of the people in your life. Kind Goods is more than a shop - the owner, Michelle, is exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and spoiler alert… KIND! She goes out of her way to get to know her patrons on a personal level, remembers little details so well that she can curate the perfect gift for them. That alone is more than enough to make me feel good about giving the shop my business, but on top of it, she sells goods that are thoughtfully crafted, fair trade, sustainable, made locally or in small batches AND she makes sure her staff are well taken care of. It’s rare to find any one of those things these days but you can truly find all of that here. If I ever need a pick-me-up, even just walking through the shop makes me feel lighter because it’s so gorgeous but it doesn’t hurt to stumble upon your new favorite mug, candle, blanket, art print, etc. either! ?”
“I love this crystal shop! Every time I stop in there is something new and beautiful to buy. I especially like the crystal bracelets with smaller diameter beads than I usually see in other stores.”
“Elsie Kaye hosted a mini bachelorette evening for our group of five. We chose the glass bead class. It was an awesome learning experience, and Holly was able to walk us through the process in a very user friendly way. I enjoyed myself enough that I would contemplate another class. Additionally, we were able to bring food in and have a bite in her shop before our class. She went above and beyond my expectations setting up a table with a sign and balloons for our bride. I would highly recommend this experience.”
“This is more than a yarn store, even though that's why I was there. They have an excellent collection of yarns to choose from, well organized by weight and color, though it can be a little frustrating if you're trying to locate multiple colors of the same yarn. However the staff makes up for this with how friendly and helpful they are. They have good recommendations as well.In addition to yarns, they have a collection of locally made goods. They have some home sewn items as well as local jellies, jams, and preserves. There are always a selection of baking mixes as well. There is a lot to choose from, giving the whole place a country craft vibe.There are classes, workshops, and knit-alongs offered, as well as a program that offers badges for skill completion, which is a fun tie back to scouting days. The whole vibe is welcoming and enjoyable.This also may not matter to some, but I've had some challenges being of a more alternative appearance in shops in the past because of my piercings, tattoos, and less conventional fashion. Perhaps it's the lack of constantlu wearing knit goods... Mostly this comes in the form of people expecting I know nothing about crafting, but it gets under my skin because I've been knitting for over 15 years, though I don't keep much of what I make or only use it with historic dress. However, here I've been given a good reception, and while there have been questions about my experience, it's never an assumption, and generally it's with the express purpose of guiding me towards selections that would meet my needs, or to suggest ideas for new techniques or tools that would appeal to my skill level. It's a refreshing change.”
“I've experienced multiple Reiki sessions with Hannah, and I consistently leave each session with a harmonious blend of relaxation and renewed energy. Dealing with sleep issues has been a challenge for me, but I've discovered that Reiki has been instrumental in helping me maintain a more consistent sleep schedule. The atmosphere at Ashland REIKI & Wellness Center is serene, creating an inviting and beautifully appointed space. Their gift shop offers a diverse range of wellness products, crystals, and gifts. I look forward to returning for more rejuvenating Reiki sessions and some delightful shopping!”
“The lovely staff and owner meet you with best smile and friendly welcome. I cannot believe how many local artists are featured there. Candles/Candies /pottery/ mosaics/jewelry.I highly recommend this gallery!”
“The Paper Store is great if one is a woman shopping, or a man gift shopping for his wife, mother, or girlfriend. There are some greeting cards and some nice stationary for men, plus some calendars that might be of interest to men, but 95% of the merchandise offered is of interest mainly to women.”
“I love The Paper Store! Greatest lines of products for all occasions or just for yourself! Attentive happy staff. I've never left their stores without some kind of laughs and a smile on my face!”
“This is a store to go in with no expectations. You'll see things you might not see elsewhere. You might get disappointed at not finding what you want. Also, don't go in expecting low pricing. But it's a great place to window shop.”
“They had all the family Christmas cards I needed plus a few extra small gifts. I realize stores are short handed but my clerk was a little grinchy. Other than that good experience”
“Pleasant staff, they make sure they give order status and time frames. Place is very clean and follows Covid protocols which is essential still today! Great location and great variety of options for baskets and arrangements.”
