Coda

I freaking love this place! It’s my go-​to for unique gifts or just to walk around and soak up the surroundings. The staff is super friendly too.

I swung by here back in December to pick up a gift for a friend and to browse with my partner last month. There’s so many odds and ends to choose from there has to be SOMETHING in this store for that special someone. If you’re crazy about candles, there’s a ton to choose from. Each time I’ve visited the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgable, and willing to chat.

This is my favorite gift shop on 19^th.
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.
