“I love Dolce Vita in downtown Asheville! It’s an adorable store with lots of personality! The owner, Robin, is so friendly and has a great eye for eclectic and unique items. She features many local artists as well! It’s one of my favorite stores in downtown Asheville!”
“Don't miss this special little place! Their name says it all...a nonprofit shop that features handmade products made from various villages in multiple countries. Quality and reasonably priced with much attention to detail. It's worth stopping in to browse even if you aren't in the buying mood. Great spot to find a unique gift for someone. Really appreciate that each item has a tag that shares details about the "making" of product. Fun, inviting staff. While they do carry products for children, it might be a bit challenging to shop with children due to the size of shop and various displays. I love that our purchases contribute to making a positive impact and serve as a reminder of a fun day in Ashville.”
“The Bee Charmer is such a vibe. Definitely worth visiting just for the experience, even if you don’t intend to buy anything. Their prices are pretty steep, although they do have lip balms and little trinkets that are affordable. They also have a honey sampling bar, which everyone in our group got a kick out of, highly recommend.”

“The best collection of stims I've ever seen -- and an awesome array of stickers, gifts, and the like. The people are lovely too. Highly recommend stopping by or shopping their online store!”
“In a pinch, I found my new favorite pair of sunglasses at a great price! I live locally, and have been putting off buying new ones for 2 years and nothing really spoke to me or prices would put me off, but I spotted these and knew instantly they were the ones for me. Thank you!!”
“Sanctuary of Stuff is a unique gift shop in Woodfin (north of Asheville). There's a fun vibe, with beautiful pottery, glass, jewelry, clothing, homewares and baby things made by artists, many of them local. Perfect place to find something for that hard-to-buy-for person. The owner was very friendly. We'll definitely be back!”
“Very helpful and nice! They helped us put together a wedding favor gift with exactly what we wanted, even going into the back to pull it all together.
We stop here everytime we’re in Asheville.”
“I’ve been shopping at this delightful store for years and am happy to see them continue to prosper. It’s pretty amazing that for as long as I have been stopping by, the owners are always there - I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other employees! Maybe they’re workaholics and they just truly love what they do… no matter the reason, their passion in finding unique and fun items and their dedication and commitment to the shop is obvious. The displays are well thought out and organized. A small example of what they offer - an amazing greeting card collection (get out of here, Hallmark!), a section for the really little ones, books, mugs, hand towels, jewelry, stationary, fun decor, pins, ETC.! They even have a section for “tiny” things! <3 This store has something for pretty much everyone (young and old), especially the friend who is a little bit different! Take your time so you don’t miss anything! The pricing is very fair and the price point range is great. Speaking of the owners, they don’t hover over you but are there to answer any questions or offer suggestions if needed. WHIST is the perfect name for this store and I challenge you to leave empty handed!”
“Very cool store, extremely friendly staff. Very accepting of all people. I would absolutely come back for the atmosphere and staff alone. Their souvenirs and other things to buy are all awesome!”
“We stopped in this store and the owners were so helpful and sweet. We purchased a cream for my son's eczema (Sunshine Cream) after trying so many various store brand creams without finding any relief. After 3 days of use, his tough spots were already significantly better! We are so glad we stopped in and will continue to order this and other soaps online. Not only natural items, but so effective. Thank you!!”

“We shopped at at the Carriage House during our trip to Biltmore and bought some beautiful gifts. I called back and ordered some more items. The great service and friendliness shown by Nancy made my experience a great one.”
“We popped in because my daughter is a #swiftie and we saw a cute window display of Taylor treasures! We saw so many sweet gifts and such lovely displays. Our favorite part was chatting with Brenda. She was warm and welcoming. We will be back! Thanks.”
“Great boutique to pick up anything Biltmore Estates! Great selections from the whole entire estate! Items from the gallery exhibits to the gift shops! Exceptional wine variety’s to choose from. They do not take any cash-so bring ur cards kids. Lots of apparel and gift ideas. Upstairs area as well. At the entrance of the Estate Gate! So u don’t need to enter Biltmore to shop. Great for the hard to shop for. Wonderfully kind and pleasant staff. They even have confectionery items. Stop by and enjoy! We will always visit for great clearance items in our way home. Convenient to I 40-gasoline and hotels.”

“This store makes me feel the way I did watching Gilmore girls in high school. Cozy, nostalgic, homey, perfect lighting. Sweetest owner and staff and store pups. I want to live here, really.”
“Really glad we stopped here! Lots of souvenirs and artisan crafts which is right up my alley. The store attendant was very helpful and chatty. There was adequate parking which is more than I can say about many of the downtown shops. I loved seeing the local art on display!”
“Visited this shop yesterday. Very friendly staff. Amazing jewelry and artwork. Love the Oils on canvas. Will be back next month. They are always changing up their pieces.”
“Local here. Over the years, I’ve bought a ring from this place at every milestone. I’ve built up a collection that I wear every single day, never take them off. They’ve held up perfectly. I love this place so much!!! The ladies working always remember me and it’s precious! Can’t recommend them enough.”

“As I walked the young lady behind the counter welcomed me in with a smile and right away asked if she can help me find something! They had quite a bit of Asheville souvenirs which I acquired for my grandchildren. As I was checking out the items she asked again if everything was found! ADRIANA was very professional, helpful, sweet, joyful young lady! With her there she made the store much more incredible and enjoyable!”
“Love this store so much! The person working today (7/3 at like 11:30 am) was awesome. We've been here often and he's always the best. I love that there is a store that my kids and I both enjoy! The lunch money is the best and they have great sales. I but all my purses/backpacks from here.”

“Beautiful authentic merchandise. Friendly, informative employees. Leave plenty of time because you'll not want to leave it's so fascinating and intriguing to browse here.”
“Very large selection of tarot cards. Cool tshirts of good quality. Lots of incense. Birthday cards. Keep Asheville Weird!!
After reading the other reviews I have to say I am surprised. I’ve been in the store a couple of times and had only positive chats with the owner. He’s a typical old school New Yorker, like a character out of Seinfeld. I even asked him if I could take a shirt out of the wrapper it was in to check the size and he was totally chill about it. I was there with my father in law before and they were laughing about a bunch of stuff. Maybe the guy has off days but I haven’t seen it and I wouldn’t let the other negative reviews deter you from coming to the shop.”

“Most days, I find myself in need of a trinket. Or in need of a smiling face. Both of these needs are always met upon visit to instant karma. I have never had the honor of being in the presence of such awesome people all in one place. My Mom was always Santa growing up. Always the birthday person. The gift giver. Her gifts always mean something. For the last 5 years, I've been able to be that gift giver for her. Her home is decorated with trinkets and odds n ends from instant. Not to mention the awesome little animal stone carvings that make for a perfect gift to give friends. I can't say enough good things about the business and the people there. Brick and mortar don't make a business, the people you hire do.
You've got some of the greatest humans on earth working there. Along with the coolest trinkets, shirts, costume jewelry, and all of the ingredients to make a tacky home a little bit more spiffy.
It's been an honor as a patron and regular. As someone who's lived in Asheville for generations, an Instant Karma location makes every neighborhood that much better.”
