What a fun and eclectic store! I stopped in to see what kinds of things t

This is a small but fun store with cool merchandise. I browsed the Lollia line of fragrances and while I thought the items smelled nice, I mentioned to the staff member chatting with me that I usually prefer a more masculine fragrance. She showed me the Tokyomilk Dark line that’s from the same creators but more my speed. She then spent several minutes showing me the perfumes I might like and spritzing samples for me. She was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable but I didn’t feel any pressure to buy a fragrance then and there, which is good since I’m supposed to Christmas shopping for others not myself!
I did decide to take home a bottle of Poo-​Pourri since I’d just seen it on QVC a few days ago. Google it, it’ll take too much time to explain here! They placed my bottle in a festive bag. Great to know that when I return to buy gifts here, I won’t have to worry about going somewhere else for a gift bag or wrapping paper.
I really like the unique greeting cards and jewelry the store sells. I will be back as we get closer to Christmas!

So, I was in a panic for my wife’s birthday. Long story short, I remembered how much my wife loved this shop, so I gave them a call. While I sped up the interstate towards Frederick in Friday rush hour traffic, the owner consulted with me about what she liked, and arranged for it to be laid out when I got there. While I got there before closing, her assistant had already assured me that they wouldn’t close until I arrived. I ended up not only with a Waxing Poetic necklace and chain along with a charm (both of which my wife wears DAILY and tells me almost weekly that she loves loves loves), but also picked up a stylish bag for Christmas.
In short, fantastic service and great merchandise; why are you still reading this review and not in the car headed over there? (And for the person below who wishes they had a website, they do now, as well as a FB page. It doesn’t get any easier.)

I have lived in Frederick for most of my life, and for some reason I had never been in here until this week. The store has a variety of kitchen and beauty products, as well as some beautiful jewelry. They carry Lollia fragrances and hand cremes that smell fantastic (so fresh and clean!) and look beautiful to give as a gift. For those who are fans of the sassy housewife motif, they have a variety of housewares, such as wine glasses and kitchen towels, with witty sayings. I hope to return to purchase a piece of the Waxing Poetic jewelry. The charms are gorgeous with a vintage wax seal look! To top it all off, the service here is wonderful. Every customer is greeted with a friendly welcome, but no one is breathing down your neck to make a purchase. I purchased a gift, and the woman at the counter packaged it for me beautifully (I didn’t even have to ask!). I certainly recommend this stop, if you are planning a shopping trip to downtown Frederick.

I wish they had their own website! Sassy merchandise! Fun gifts! Riotious greeting cards! Lots of unique scents!

I really really liked this store! There are a lot of gift shops in Frederick but this one had a lot that the others didn’t.
Funny things for the home: magnets, plates, glasses, napkins… They had funny stationary and greeting cards. They also had a nice selection of jewelry that I hadn’t seen at any other store.
Like I said there are a ton of gift stores in Frederick but this is probably one of my favorites.
