For the Undecided Shopper

Posted by Laura Thomson on April 23, 2007 - 5:26 PM in

Need a gift or something to spice up your home but have no idea what you want? Try Eclectics of the South in Fury Ferry Station. It's designed almost like an exclusive craft show, with little rooms and displays from different designers. There's a little bit of everything, including food, accessories, baby gear, decorative items, etc. etc. I noted several ideas for wedding or baby christening gifts, just in time for that busy spring and summer season.

I was a little concerned that the prices would be way out of my league when the first item I saw was a Georgia Bulldog bench for $350, but I expect for many true fans out there that's not much to pay. (If there's a store here that doesn't carry Georgia Bulldogs items, I haven't seen it.) But as I wandered around, I noticed that there seemed to be a good range of prices, including some items around $15 and nice pewter and pottery serving pieces (hint to my husband for our upcoming anniversary) for anywere from $25 to $65.

This is not the store for those who want to walk in, see something right away, buy it, and walk out (my sister). You have to truly like an eclectic shopping experience, but it's worth the time.
