“Delicious maple cremees! Their chocolate soft serve is like none other. The shop has jams, syrup, hot sauce and everything maple!! Oh, and the donut bowl? I'll be getting one next time!”
“This store has the most unique and perfect gift for any occasion! They have really lovely cards, jewellery, and housewares. Penny is helpful and kind and will help you find the perfect gift! This is a must stop for sure!”
“The VT Gift Emporium is a great place to browse items created by local artists and vendors. A newly renovated building with plenty of free parking leads to a nice showroom full of items from maple syrup to custom tables, and all things in between. You never know what you'll find in here, as it has a way of changing a little bit each time I come in to shop.”

120 Main St, Brattleboro“There are so few places in Brattleboro I even like--much less love--and I have to be really motivated to bother with a review. But, Brilliance is deserving! My dad has taken his watches in for repair for years. I've always made it my go-to when I needed some new sterling silver, or some interesting decor. But, my last visit was the clincher. My mom has Alzheimer's, and dad stepped on her favorite eyeglasses. We tried several other pairs, but she kept taking them off and we knew he would step on one of those. She bough them at the evil empire in Hinsdale. I first sent a friend in to go to the eyeglass place to see if they could fix them. The answer was, "No. They're too old to be under warranty." So, I PHONED the evil empire, offering to PAY for the repair. Again, a resounding, "No." And she suggested I visit an optician.I called Dr. Cotter's office and a very friendly person suggested I bring them in. When I got there, I was treated with derision, and directed to a (horrible, as it happens) local jeweler.Then, I realized...Brilliance!!!!Not only was I treated with as much warmth and welcome as I've come to expect, but I was also gifted a ridiculously expedient turnaround time with...fully repaired glasses! I actually cried when I picked them up. Not just because of the repair, but also. the generosity of spirit and care with which I was and am treated.Brilliance is the kind of store that makes you remember you have a choice of where to do business. And, that proprietors have a choice as to whether or not to treat customers like cherished guests. Brilliance is BRILLIANT!!!! Thank you--ALL of you!”
“This is the nice place. They have a nice selection of Christmas things as well as spices and other country home stuff. It was kind of fun to walk through and see all the different things. And it's next year just to kind of sit out and outside on.”
