Wholly Craft

My favorite local handmade store! They have such unique and fun items and all handmade! I try to do most of my gift shopping here as much as I can. Support local!

Well, let me start out by saying that this place has really nice and crafty things for sale. But it’s really overpriced. I understand it’s all natural and stuff but $ 17 for one lipstick? Really? They have really cute baby clothes and offer sewing lessons so my overall rate is ⁴⁄₅

This was my first visit to the new Wholly Craft location. The larger space is packed with crafted goods made from local artisans and some not so local. (But as far as I know, everything is from the US)
There is so much eyecandy here it’s a little overwhelming initially. They have something for everyone: baby goods, children’s toys and clothing, adult clothing, accessories, bath/​spa goods, art prints, home goods, and more.
BUT! My favorite part of this place might be the Supply Closet located in the back of the store. It’s a crafter’s trade station. Have some unwanted craft supplies? Drop it off here and exchange it for whatever supplies you’d like to take. Have nothing to donate, but want to obtain some craft goods? No prob, just pay whatever you think the supplies are worth. Have stuff to donate, but don’t want to take anything? They are happy to take supplies off of your hands too. Just awesome. I scored tons of supplies for my very handcrafted wedding here.

This is my new favorite spot! They sell witchlab beard oil, which made my day because it’s my husband’s favorite beard oil! I also found a great rosewater vegan toner and this incredible exfoliating soap that my husband wants more of, so it looks like I’ll be making another trip soon. I think next time I will be checking out their jewelry :)

Need a unique gift with some local flavor? Wholly Craft is your spot. I stopped in to load up on new baby cards for friends, and they satisfied that need. So many cute ones! Many hilarious, none lame.
We also left with another gift for a graduating friend moving elsewhere to remember his Ohio days. I spied several other gifties for both men and women in my life for which I shall return. Good stuff for kids and adults alike!
I think they also have workshops if you want to take a crafty class.
I’ve heard rumor of their «Supply Closet» before — apparently you can bring in old craft supplies and donate, and take whatever you want from the same area. A search on their website to confirm revealed little information other than a blank headline of «Supply Closet» as of the date of this review. But if that’s something that excites you, you should call and ask!
We asked for some help with «wrapping» the graduation gift. They were able to hook us up with their cute store paper bag fluffed with tissue paper — from old patterns! They say they get the old patterns donated in amounts that will never be utilized, and I think this is the cutest use. Going in my memory bank for future parties and gifts.
One confusing point — there’s a ton of Rifle Paper products in here. Don’t get me wrong, I love Rifle — but, kind of confusing because it’s not a local company and pretty widely available?

The newer location of Wholly Craft is awesome and I can’t get enough of this store. Every time I go, I find something I just HAVE TO HAVE and I have bought a lot of beloved gifts and trinkets here. They have all kinds of local goodies, from bath products, art, clothes, stationary, jewelry, pottery, and even crocheted mounted animal heads. I also kind of can’t wait to have kids just so I can shop the onesie rack they have there with Ohio themed baby clothes (but please don’t tell my boyfriend I said that because he doesn’t need a freak out). I haven’t been able to make it to a crafting class here yet, but I was able to go to an awesome Pinterest Party they had here last Friday and it was an absolute great time. For $ 10, they had 3 stations set up and we got to make spring crafts. They had all the supplies and instructions prepared and the staff were also really helpful showing us how to make certain things. They even had Pinterest-​y snacks that were really cute. It was a unique and cheap way to spend a Friday night and it was even BYOB, so my friends and I split a bottle of wine while we crafted. It was awesome and I hope they put on more parties like that. I love that this store is minutes from my apartment in Clintonville and I love being able to shop locally for interesting gifts.

That wooshing noise you hear every so often is the sound of my wallet disgorging its contents at Wholly Craft. Wholly Craft is mostly not a craft store. A crafty store, yes, and cleverly designed to ensure I make grabby hands at nearly everything they have for sale. Here you can find all manner of locally crafted items, from bags and kitchen textiles to jewelry and magnets. They also sell fun things like nightlights with shadows of murderous animals and felted ribbons which declare the wearer «Amazeballs.» Locally-​themed prints and t-​shirts, along with cards of many flavors. So many things to browse, so many things to pine for! There is a small workshop in the back, and they host small parties and groups (Stitch and Bitch, anyone?). Everyone here is nice to the utmost and smile understandingly as you turn over all of your money to them, helpless to resist…

I love this place has so many unique items I got the prettiest scarf and hair decorations!

I’ve finally made it to the new location! Hours are expanded and so has the shop. There’s room to walk around and dozens of people can be in the space without bumping into each other.
The items are well placed. Little jewelry items are near the counter. One wall has lots of t-​shirts and cards. Everywhere you look there’s something new to see but it’s not cluttered.
The bigger space allows for multiples of each item type so you have more of a choice than before.
As usual, the staff is friendly and helpful.

I LOVE THIS STORE.
Wholly Craft is the perfect spot to grab a gift for any occasion. There are so many awesome, local products in one place! They offer everything from clothing to bath products to artwork. My favorite part of the store is the card wall. They have a huge variety of witty, unique cards.
Unique is a great way to describe most of the items in this store. I mean, where else can you buy a Rachel Maddow candle? A Notorious B.I.G birthday card? An Albert Einstein magnet?
Whether you are looking for a birthday gift for a friend, a local holiday gift, or a little something for yourself, this is your store.
