The Black Cat Shoppe is a quirky, magical, and fun locally owned gift shop in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. It is a unique family destination and shopping experience, filled with a fun, funny, and eclectic collection of products. The store offers everything from souvenirs, funky socks, incense, funny signs, jewelry, crystals, games, and gag gifts to playful and colorful artwork. It is designed to inspire and awe customers with its one-of-a-kind shelves and music. The shop serves as a nice little epicenter of the community, with fliers for other local experiences. It is also known for its personal touch and excellent customer service. For television fans, the store is a step back into the 90s, featuring a huge homage to *One Tree Hill* and other shows filmed locally. It was the record store for *Dawson's Creek* and the CD store for *One Tree Hill*. Furthermore, The Black Cat Shoppe is home to the Ghost Walk of Old Wilmington. This combination of unique gifts, pop culture history, and community spirit makes it a delightful and perfect stop for anyone looking for something different, fun for the whole family, and a truly memorable visit.
This is such a fun store. From the pirates chest for the kids to the hilarious magnets and dish towels. Very friendly staff and helpful. They give suggestions on things to do in the area. But if you have have time, make sure to take their “Guided Ghost Tour “ that was so much fun definitely worth checking out!

I had a ghost tour on 9/27 from Steven Wood. The tour was amazing and the storytelling was so informative. I love how Steven incorporated a bunch of history within the ghost stories. It was also very entertaining when he asked for volunteers to act out a duel. Very fun and spooky, highly recommend!!
