I like to frequent unusual, one of a kind stores. For instance, I love going to the Christopher Park Gallery. I recently found Moonstruck, in Mauldin.
Can anyone suggest any other stores similar to this in the area? Places that have very unusual items you don't tend to find elsewhere? I love going to places like this. A great place to find that unusual gift for someone special, or for yourself.
If you have any places you love please post the name and if you know, their location/address.
The gift shop at the Greenville County Museum of Art, oddly enough, has some cool stuff.
I've not been there, actually, didn't even know there was a MOA here. Will definitely check it out, along with their gift shop!

Thanks Tinabean, always appreciate some rep-love!
I know there must be some interesting places I've not heard about, especially being new to the area. For instance, I found Wilsons 5&10, and while not a shop for everyone, I found myself being thrown back in time. It reminded me of Woolworth's & McCrory's throwing up, or like a tornado hit 30yrs ago and they haven't recovered and were still in a time-warp. Fun and nostalgic.
These are the kind of places I like to find. Not that I'm looking for anything in particular. I go up to Asheville area quite often since beginning my move here, and have found some of my fav places to go up there already (The Tobacco Barn, Screen Door, Amazing Savings,Frugal Decor & More, CinTom's to name a few). Ditto with Hendersonville.
I haven't found too many of those places here, just yet - so here's to discovering new places! I know they're out there, I just need some help in finding some of them. I don't mind driving about an hours drive to find some neat places either, so if they are in a surrounding area, I'm game!
Oh, just thought about another place - The Emporium Gift Shop, nice stuff, and some reasonably priced items. I couldn't remember the name of the place so when I went looking for it, I found this video:
The Emporium in the West end of Greenville, SC is a unique boutique with a wide selection of jewelry, art and clothing - GreenvilleHD.com (http://www.greenvillehd.com/greenville-sc-shopping/the-emporium-of-the-westend/ - broken link)
THESE are the kind of places I look for, cool and unusual! I actually bought one of the kids backpacks, though at the gift store on Trade in Greer, it's the same thing - cute stuff!
Yeah! They have a vid for Christopher Park Gallery too!!!
http://westendcoop.com - I have never been there, but I happened across the store on a weekend when they were closed. Been meaning to stop in when they are open. They may have some unique items.
Liz Daly Designs is interesting. Solo! West End is another interesting shop.
