"Chic Housewares and Gifts on Cass Avenue The light-filled retail space that is Nora on Cass Avenue is a haven of good design, unusual gifts, and all manner of tempting delights you didn't know you needed. The site claims Nora is a collection of "Scandinavian housewares, Japanese pottery, Detroit jewelry, and more." While all those are good, it's the "more" that really tempted me to stay for a long time perusing and wondering and dreaming. I walked out with just a postcard, showing a photograph of Andy Warhol in front of the city's Renaissance Building. Significant to me because Warhol is one of my favorite artists and Detroit has now left a mark on me that was wholly unexpected. Though I easily could have purchased a nightstand carafe set, a gemstone and metal necklace, or even a set of striped dishes that would never have fit in my carry-on suitcase! Nora, like Hugh next door, should be very high on your shopping list for Detroit. Stay tuned to their websites, as each store sometimes opens the door that connects them to open at the same time for special events. Now that would be a true "Can't Miss!"

Great little gift shop with beautiful options, something for everyone! Beautiful hand-dipped candles from Denmark, felted decor and gifts, cute little onesies for the baby, awesome cards and hand carved wood items. Definitely, if you're in the area stop in! You're sure to see something you're interested in.

Nora Detroit is one of my favorite shops in all of Detroit. If you’re ever looking for something amazing to add to your home or want an awesome, unique gift for someone, this is the place! Nora also makes an effort to support local artists and artisans, which I also love. The staff is also incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.

What a beautiful neighboor boutique! I wander into Nora while walking down Cass Ave. It is a mix of jewlery and homewares. I found the items to all be stylish some a little modern for my taste but also found some great gift items. The employees were super hepful and helped me find a braclet and earnings that really suited my style.

Very cute shop in Detroit. Lovely unique items especially if you need to find a gift for someone and don’t know what to buy. I got a really great cookbook there with Detroit chefs. Very friendly. Fun place to stop.

Beautifully curated gift shop. Full of unique jewelry pieces and home furnishings as well as some cute kid stuff. Reminds me of a mini museum store. I want to buy everything in here since everything is so modern and pretty (Check out those mobiles!) but most of it is out of my price range. Don't fret though as there are definitely some pieces scattered around that are more affordable ie. some beautiful glass vases for $28 or pretty Marimekko journals for under $10. Definitely worth a stop in if in the Midtown area. If you're in a shopping mood, go ahead and check out Hugh next door and City Bird, Nest, and Shinola a block away. This is a great shopping area if you're looking to buy some gifts for friends or yourself.
