“We loved this place. I should have taken more pictures though. They have so many cool stuff. We bought some Tshirts and a cool plate. The staff was very friendly and they even suggested some places for us to explore later”

“Last week I purchased an 84” colorful orb wind spinner on the Last Straw boutique’s website. I was extremely pleased to find this item because it is nearly sold out nationwide. I actually found it using AI.
My only problem was that I bought it on July 3rd and that I needed it delivered to Albuquerque NM from the boutique’s location in Blowing Rock NC by or before July 9th.
The website offers free shipping. However given that my purchase was made the day before a holiday weekend and the package is fairly large and that it would be sent by UPS or USPS ground the likelihood that I would get it in time was not great.
Fortunately, for me I was able to reach one of the owners Ms. Robertson and explained my dilemma. She in turn advised me that she was going to have their GM and her son Brock call me and that she was confident that he could help me.
Her prediction came true because he called me shortly afterwards and bent over backwards to arrange expedited shipping for me, for which I was more than glad to pay the difference. Today is July 6th and I received the package today in perfect condition.
I am so pleased with this unbelievable online shopping experience, the quality of the item and the superior customer service.
Based on this, I highly recommend this business to anyone, like me who likes to support deserving small businesses with great merchandise and unmatched customer focus.”
“Beautiful store! So well-curated and really special pieces. Many choices made in the US, and not just typical gift shop items. Nice range of price points and we had a welcoming experience. This store was a highlight of Blowing Rock shopping for us!”
“They are clean, and great gifts all around,very respectful people and smiling having us come all the way from Virginia....thanks for having us....we really enjoyed it”
“This was a great Unique Boutique that we stopped in while visiting the area. They had some really nice things to check out in there as well as some beautifully crafted pottery. I found a really nice anniversary gift for my wife here. I highly recommend stopping in and checking this place out if you're in the area. The staff is super friendly and really deserve your business.”
“The Brass Exchange is my favorite store in Blowing Rock. I was there shopping on Wednesday and I fell down the last three steps on the stairs. The two workers there were quick to help me and provided first aid. There was a couple shopping and they helped me get up and get myself collected. I appreciate them all helping me and it was in no way the store’s fault. There are still some nice people in this world.”
“Great place for unique gifts and local art at reasonable prices. I was really impressed with the selection and surprised to see such reasonable prices in a town that looks so upscale. Don’t skip it! Just wish they had paper bags instead of plastic.”
“This store is what little kids dreams are made of. So wonderful to be able to go in a toy shop and have little ones explore. Brought such big smiles to everyone’s faces. The person running the shop was very friendly and I read some old reviews that must’ve had an employee who’s left Shop. Definitely give this place a try and support.”
“Super cute shop with all kinds of little things you had no idea you needed. I went in to browse and left with a coffee cup but could’ve left with so much more. The two gentleman working were very friendly, which isn’t always the case in touristy places. Definitely check them out when you are exploring Blowing Rock.”
