This is my favorite gift shop on 19th.
Candles, Kitchenware, Trinkets, Bobbles, Knick knacks, Coasters, Trays, Trivets, Frames. All things gift, and not in the cheesy "that's SO fu-un" kind of way. These are more in the classy, yet quirky sort of vein of gifts. Reasonably priced (a boon in the land of gift shops), but unique. By that I mean, nothing is marked up beyond what it's worth, and the candles don't all smell like a Yankee Candle nightmare. Who wants a candle that smells like cheap chocolate or Walmart sugar cookies? Who wants to be the one who gave someone a candle that smells like Pine Sol, I mean, "Christmas Tree?" To save myself, and gift recipient, from that fate, I usually head here to pick up one of the Tyler (as in Texas) Candle Company Candles.
Or a plant holder. Or a knick knack. Or, you get the idea.
