Tuscan Table
This store carries some of the prettiest Italian pottery I have ever seen. There are large platters and full place settings. They also carry some furniture. I recently saw a sign outside saying they were now doing furniture restoration and refinishing. The items are all exquisite but extremely expensive. None the less it is a beautiful place to browse
PROS: gorgeous pottery/dishes
CONS: very pricey
Forget Me Not Gifts
This store islocated in a small strip mall by the Fresh market and it has been there for years. The owner is one of the nicest people you want to meet. She remembers her customers and greets everyone with a warm smile. They are always changing their merchandise. I get many holiday and birthday gifts for teachers and girl friends here. They have pottery, purses, food items, statues, jewelry, aby items and more. It is the kind of stuff that you won't see anywhere but in small stores like this. They gift wrap stuff for free and it always looks beautiful. They run great sales as well.
PROS: great for last minute gifts
CONS:
Sanrio Surprises
This store is a little girls dream. I have never seen so many Hello Kitty items in one place. They carry toys, jewelry, pencils, purses, stickers and more. My daughter runs around like it were a candy store. They carry other cute little animal character stuff that I am not familiar with. It isa safe bet that a little girl from 4-9 would love anything from this store. They have items from under 1.00 and up. You can get out cheap if you need too.
PROS: wide price range of items
CONS:
Tumblers N Totes
I went into this store when I was looking for a school bag for my daughter. It is filled with clothes, hats, bags etc that can be customized. They do silk screening or embroidery for schools, teams and comanies. They appeared to have a large selection of items. The man working the store was very friendly and happy to have me browse.
PROS: good for teams/schools etc
CONS:
Bumble Bs Personnalized Gift
This store is small and carriesalittle bit of lots of different stuff that can all be personalized. They have piggy bakks, rocking chairs, door signs. it is cute for personalized baby items after a baby is born. Little girls might like some of the ballet stuff as well. They carry stuff in a variety of price ranges. I have never found the staff very friendly when I have been browsing.
PROS: great baby gifts
CONS: staff not overly friendly
Puzzles and Plush
This storeappeared around the holidays a few years ago and I never thought it would make it. They carry a huge selection of puzzles and some stuffed animals. The puzzles range in size from smallkiddie puzzles to many thousand peices. There were some gorgeous and complicated puzzles. I found them pricey but it appeared that they carried far more puzzles then you might find elsewhere.
PROS: great puzzle selection
CONS: expensive
Mainstreet Art Co
I love to look in this store any chance I get. They have some of the prettiest paintings and glassware I have ever seen. You never know what they will have. I have seen mobils, servingware, pottery and all kinds of different paintings. I have tried to go in the evening a few times while eating in the area and they have not been open. I would go daytime or call if it is an odd hour.
PROS: Beautiful art
CONS: pricey
Swoozie's

The are constantly changing their merchandise so it is good to go often. They customize invitations and stationary as well. The staff is really helpful. Their gift wrapping the the prettiest I have seen anywhere!!
PROS: beautiful/fun home stuff, awesome gift wrapping
CONS: The Forum gets crowded at times
Crystal Blue
When I get into Little Five Points I always have to go into this store and look around. They carry a wide variety of art, jewelry, crystals, wind chimes, mobiles and you name it. They cater to the hippy crowd and younger crowd but I still like looking. I have bought some really pretty candles there before.
PROS: fun stuff
CONS:
Swoozie's
I love this store . You walk inside and it is so colorful and eye appealling. They carry a wide array of custom stationary and invitations as well as cards, seasonal giftsand some home stuff. They have cute stuff for kidsa swell. I have gotten my daughters birthday invitations here for the last three years. They print them very quickly and are comparable in price to similar stores. Its a great place to get gifts for housewarming or hostess gifts.
PROS: huge selection of papers and invitations
CONS:
