4 Biltmore Ave, Asheville“What a wonderful store! The owner, Kelly, and her staff are super helpful and knowledgeable. Also, if you are looking for interior design assistance, Kelly, is nothing short of magical!”
11AM - 6PM
21 Battery Park Ave STE 101, Asheville“The best collection of stims I've ever seen -- and an awesome array of stickers, gifts, and the like. The people are lovely too. Highly recommend stopping by or shopping their online store!”
“The Bee Charmer is such a vibe. Definitely worth visiting just for the experience, even if you don’t intend to buy anything. Their prices are pretty steep, although they do have lip balms and little trinkets that are affordable. They also have a honey sampling bar, which everyone in our group got a kick out of, highly recommend.”
9AM - 9PM
35 Wall St, Asheville“This is more than a souvenir shop. It's a perfect spot for postcards and little souvenirs for your travels and folks back home. But they also have lovely clothing in the back. Plus t-shirts and caps. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, convenient location for walking downtown. I stop here regularly when I stay in Asheville.”
“WOW, I am blown away by the products!! As a die hard Lush fan from before they came to the US, I can honestly say this has me converted! I bought gifts for myself and my BIL and I was blown away at the quality, how my skin feels and the lingering scent! It's subtle yet present even after my shower. You have a customer for life!!”
“I’ve been shopping at this delightful store for years and am happy to see them continue to prosper. It’s pretty amazing that for as long as I have been stopping by, the owners are always there - I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other employees! Maybe they’re workaholics and they just truly love what they do… no matter the reason, their passion in finding unique and fun items and their dedication and commitment to the shop is obvious. The displays are well thought out and organized. A small example of what they offer - an amazing greeting card collection (get out of here, Hallmark!), a section for the really little ones, books, mugs, hand towels, jewelry, stationary, fun decor, pins, ETC.! They even have a section for “tiny” things! <3 This store has something for pretty much everyone (young and old), especially the friend who is a little bit different! Take your time so you don’t miss anything! The pricing is very fair and the price point range is great. Speaking of the owners, they don’t hover over you but are there to answer any questions or offer suggestions if needed. WHIST is the perfect name for this store and I challenge you to leave empty handed!”
“Kinda pricey. Used to have the best largest collection of bumper stickers. Great service. The jar with the least incense sticks on the middle shelf to the right side is the best scent, but I can't remember what it's called. Will be coming back for the Glow in the dark mushrooms”
“Don't miss this special little place! Their name says it all...a nonprofit shop that features handmade products made from various villages in multiple countries. Quality and reasonably priced with much attention to detail. It's worth stopping in to browse even if you aren't in the buying mood. Great spot to find a unique gift for someone. Really appreciate that each item has a tag that shares details about the "making" of product. Fun, inviting staff. While they do carry products for children, it might be a bit challenging to shop with children due to the size of shop and various displays. I love that our purchases contribute to making a positive impact and serve as a reminder of a fun day in Ashville.”
“Sanctuary of Stuff is a unique gift shop in Woodfin (north of Asheville). There's a fun vibe, with beautiful pottery, glass, jewelry, clothing, homewares and baby things made by artists, many of them local. Perfect place to find something for that hard-to-buy-for person. The owner was very friendly. We'll definitely be back!”

43 Rankin Ave, Asheville“Very helpful and nice! They helped us put together a wedding favor gift with exactly what we wanted, even going into the back to pull it all together.
We stop here everytime we’re in Asheville.”
“Very cool store, extremely friendly staff. Very accepting of all people. I would absolutely come back for the atmosphere and staff alone. Their souvenirs and other things to buy are all awesome!”

1 Lodge St, Asheville“We shopped at at the Carriage House during our trip to Biltmore and bought some beautiful gifts. I called back and ordered some more items. The great service and friendliness shown by Nancy made my experience a great one.”
“We popped in because my daughter is a #swiftie and we saw a cute window display of Taylor treasures! We saw so many sweet gifts and such lovely displays. Our favorite part was chatting with Brenda. She was warm and welcoming. We will be back! Thanks.”
“Great boutique to pick up anything Biltmore Estates! Great selections from the whole entire estate! Items from the gallery exhibits to the gift shops! Exceptional wine variety’s to choose from. They do not take any cash-so bring ur cards kids. Lots of apparel and gift ideas. Upstairs area as well. At the entrance of the Estate Gate! So u don’t need to enter Biltmore to shop. Great for the hard to shop for. Wonderfully kind and pleasant staff. They even have confectionery items. Stop by and enjoy! We will always visit for great clearance items in our way home. Convenient to I 40-gasoline and hotels.”
“Local here. Over the years, I’ve bought a ring from this place at every milestone. I’ve built up a collection that I wear every single day, never take them off. They’ve held up perfectly. I love this place so much!!! The ladies working always remember me and it’s precious! Can’t recommend them enough.”
“Love this store so much! The person working today (7/3 at like 11:30 am) was awesome. We've been here often and he's always the best. I love that there is a store that my kids and I both enjoy! The lunch money is the best and they have great sales. I but all my purses/backpacks from here.”
“Went yesterday for the first time. My mom, son and myself had so much fun here. They have multiple different themes and tons of adorable, unique items. Customer service was excellent, everything was clean and easy to see.”

11AM - 7PM
61 N Lexington Ave, Asheville“Very large selection of tarot cards. Cool tshirts of good quality. Lots of incense. Birthday cards. Keep Asheville Weird!!
After reading the other reviews I have to say I am surprised. I’ve been in the store a couple of times and had only positive chats with the owner. He’s a typical old school New Yorker, like a character out of Seinfeld. I even asked him if I could take a shirt out of the wrapper it was in to check the size and he was totally chill about it. I was there with my father in law before and they were laughing about a bunch of stuff. Maybe the guy has off days but I haven’t seen it and I wouldn’t let the other negative reviews deter you from coming to the shop.”
“Very pleased with the dessert board purchased & their customer service was great too! Everything was delicious & it was a HUGE hit with everyone in the bridal party ?”
“I love Dolce Vita in downtown Asheville! It’s an adorable store with lots of personality! The owner, Robin, is so friendly and has a great eye for eclectic and unique items. She features many local artists as well! It’s one of my favorite stores in downtown Asheville!”
