Accipiter

Funky cool store — unusual lighting. Tons of fun funky stuff. Very cool stuff. Knick knacks all new stuff one of kind unique things. Have things for kids to adults some of the things r a little raunchy
Lots of oohs and ahhs. WRacking brain to think of who to give some of these things to.
Would definitely recommend and definitely go back.

I am not much of a shopper, but when I do want to browse a store, this is one of my favorite stores of all time. This is one of those «did you see this?» «Isn’t this cute?» kinda places, which means it’s especially fun to have someone with you to smile and laugh with.
Over the years I have bought many of their teeny tiny glass animals for my collection. We have also found many whimsical and unique presents, plus fun things for our home.
Today we came home with a set of guitar wooden spoons, a mat for our front step that warns that the dog can’t hold his licker, and the perfect congrats card for my Uncle who finally married his partner after being together for 32 years (his and his blue toothbrushes on the front)
This store is much more than just cute though, there are some pretty cool things for awesome decorating, plus some very nice watches and other jewelry, wind chimes and metal sculptures for the yard… I could go on and on, but it’s a lot more fun discovering in person!

I’ve been shopping here for a long time! I love this fun store with gift items, woodwork and artwork. It’s a great shop for unique gift items.

Accipiter is our number one, go-​to shop for unique and unusual gifts! The shelves are cram-​packed with funny metal sculptures, gag gifts, signs and mugs with punchy messages, hand-​crafted jewelry, gorgeous watches, beautiful treasure boxes & trivets…
And that’s just the front of the store! The «bonus» section towards the back features incredible artisan home décor: lamps, pillows, bowls, clocks and more.
They always have a nice rotation of new items, so we’re bound to find something special.
I should mention that there is a super tempting toy section with some awesome items from yesteryear… The drinking bird, toy robots, whoppee cushions, and the like. Young kids will marvel and want to dig right in. Keep in mind that the shop is very small and some things are very pricey. You may want to have a companion take them for a visit to the Goodberry’s right next door.
Other than that, be prepared to browse for hours!

Unique gift shop in Cameron Village. I enjoy browsing their diverse collection of gifts ranging from humorous or cute to practical or simply lovely. I’ve purchased cute rubber coasters that are perfect for my glass coffee table (no scratches), glass blown duck wine stopper for a waterfowl lover, «atone-​mints» to wipe away sins, and a metal owl to watch over my back porch. Love this store!

Moon flooring did a professional job installing our red oak hardwood floors.
They were on time, courteous, neat and precise. There crew did a beautiful job which we are extremely proud of! We would highly recommend them to any one needing or wanting hardwood floors.

Do you desperately need a pair of squirrel underpants?
If so, this is the place for you! I’ve loved visiting Accipter for the last 12 years or so since I moved to Raleigh. It’s a great place to browse for a million little things, but also has a great selection of handmade and artistic offerings as well. Every year, it’s my go to place for stocking stuffers (ie squirrel tighty whiteys for my brother).
They also always have fun and whimsical ornaments, as well as more expensive, but unique items as well. If you have time and can go when they aren’t too busy, the owner is really neat to talk to– informative and very helpful if you are looking for something, but can’t put your finger on exactly what you want.
This year, I bought flavored straws (strawberry and chocolate) with which to drink milk for my 5 yr old nephews and also ‘the original’ rubber ducky for my 6 month old niece. I think I’ll go back and buy the porcelain handmade mug from Ohio with weird alien figures painted on it for my hipster friend.

Amazing store. Beautiful handmade pieces. Very expensive. I love the star lights they have there. I have only seen them in Asheville. and so I was so excited to see that they carried them. Their metalwork is incredible. The glass pieces and decorative plates are just to die for. I would love to have all of those things! They also have a great assortment of silly items too, and fun gifts for friends. If I had tons of dough– this is where I would buy all of my friends Christmas presents… there are so many classy things in here.
Oh, and I would be throwing out and additional star, but the girl just sat there at the register and said nothing. There seemed to be another guy in there but he was helping someone else and totally focused on them — no greeting to me and I was the only other person in there. and I was actually thinking about buying one of those star lights… so I’ll wait til I go back to Asheville to get one.

Wow, it is a whole store full of «shiny objects»! This place is antithetical to the entire concept of decluttering and simplifying, but that is what makes it so much fun. Accipiter is packed with things that one does not need, but upon catching sight of these shiny pretty things, one definitely wants. Yes, one does. In need of an out– of– the– ordinary gift idea? Go here. They can help.

Accipiter is a fun little store full of lots of unique stuff. I almost always stop in when I’m in Cameron Village but must say that I have rarely made a purchase there. It’s full of really interesting things that you don’t really need that cost a lot of money! They have some of the most beautiful and interesting lighting that I have ever seen and we are about to be in the market for some pendants, so Accipiter is definitely high on my list of spots to shop for them.

This is my go to place when I need a gift or card. Their selection of inventory is unique, stylish, and sometimes laugh out loud funny! The owners, Pat and Sandy are friendly and helpful. One of my favorite stores in Raleigh!

Great place to go and get a unique gift. Prices were ok, and they had some really interesting stuff. It was a little cramped in there, but you gotta fit in all that stuff. I will definitely visit again.

Accipiter is probably my favorite store to check out whenever I am at Cameron Village. It is one of those stores where you may not end up buying anything, but you will truly enjoy your time checking everything out. As others have said, the store has a little bit of everything when it comes to artsy items and random gifts. Whether you want a laugh or you want to admire some really cool art, take a moment to check out this store. This is also the perfect place to get a unique gift for that hard to shop for person.

Really neat artsy eclectic store with gift for just about anyone or any room of the house. They are pricey items, tho, so only shop here for the discriminating tastes you have on your list.
If I had the money, I could easily drop a few thousand dollars here shopping for friends and family.

Whenever I am at a loss for a birthday/​Christmas/​general gift Accipiter is always the first place I end up. They have a really nice mix of «nice» gifts like jewelry and figurines as well as some great «gag» gifts. Last year I bought one friend some Jesus band-​aids, another a catapult that actually shot toy cats, and bought a nice planter for my stepmother in the same trip. At that time they were doing free gift wrapping (a definite plus when you’re buying things last minute).
If you’re in the market for some unique lighting fixtures or lawn decorations this is a great place for those too. They have some pretty awesome (yet also pretty pricey) options.

Someday when I build my dream house, I will have all the lighting done by Accipiter. The coolest lighting fixtures on the planet, which are all displayed toward the back of the store, leaving the front populated with even more coolness. Handcrafted cutting boards, pottery, truly unique home décor, cool artwork. One of my favorite places in Raleigh.

I got my friend a lamp here as a housewarming gift, and was blown away by the selection. The sales person helping me was great at offering suggestions based on my price range, and I found exactly what I was looking for. The prices are a little high, but not unreasonable, and they even gift wrapped the lamp for me.

I could spend hours in this store; it has a random assortment of the coolest stuff for your pad or for gifts. Fun statues for your front yard, the most amazing selection of glass lamp shades, polka-​dot wine and martini glasses, silly items for your office, or for newlyweds, itty-​itty-​bitty miniature glass animals, etc. The lamp shades really are the big draw for me. (I know that sounds weird, but seriously, you need to see these!) They have all shapes, all sizes, and can help you buy the setting to hang, wire, and install them. So you can make your selection as original as you are — get three of a kind, or mix and match, or hang random singletons throughout your house like they’ve done in the store.

Accipiter is located in the heart of Cameron Village and some of their stuff (and price tags!) definitely show it. Full of kitschy, cute, trendy, pointless stuff, it is definitely fun to browse around in and wonder if there was any way you COULD possibly work in $ 40 glass wine corks and coasters into your life.
They also sell furniture and I like that part a lot. It has lots of clean, modern lines, which I really like.
I give it three stars, because it’s full of awesome stuff but I’m a poor college student and can’t possibly hope to afford any of it yet.
