Everything for the plant lovers! Plan to spend at least an hour here to browse and see everything. Get inspired by their staged plants and soil provided to plant your own. It’s a little pricey but doesn’t cost to look around. Coffee shop on site and ...
Groovy Plants Ranch
Great addition to German Village! The same Plant Gays we all know and love at East Market. Perfect little shop FILLED with amazing novelties and plants. No doubt it is impossible to leave empty handed. Support local!
The plant gays
HSAM is a seemingly endless oasis of nostalgia & memorabilia! The strip mall it’s in appears quite desolate, but do not judge a book by its cover. I highly recommend eating before going because it’s enormous & you will be there for hours if y...
Heritage Square Antique Mall
Such a fun experience on an overcast January afternoon! The staff were really welcoming and kind. Being able to pick out our flowers and vases allowed us to be as creative as we wanted, and we could ask for as much help as we needed during the proces...
Blossom Flower Bar
Truly one of my favorite shops, and shopping experiences in Columbus! Always changing inventory, great service and terrific value. I never leave empty handed.
Collective Home Supply Co.
I LOVE all the candles I’ve gotten from here! I ordered four of them (Luke’s Dinner, Autumn in Avonlea, Lallybroch, and Sassenach Bride). They’re incredible! I use them on my candle warmer to make them last longer, and I’ve gotten several days worth ...
The Bibliophile Candle Co.
The store has 32 rooms filled with books, and it feels endless in the best way. The ambience is cozy and welcoming, making it easy to get lost in browsing and exploring. I felt like I could spend my entire life here reading and still never finish. In...
The Book Loft of German Village
This is my new favorite antique shop! The market is filled with beautiful things in each room. Everything is very clean and organized. One of the things we noticed after we left was that it doesn’t smell like dust and old people. Usually after visiti...
Magpie Market
What a great place! Want a vintage Chanel bag, a chandelier, a piano, vintage or antique artwork, a super lux handmade rug, vintage or antique jewelry, ANYTHING? Chances are you'll find it here. Rotating stock, of course but that's the fun of it. Pri...
Grandview Mercantile
My first time visiting Prologue was an overall enjoyable experience. It's a small, cozy, well-curated indie shop with a lot to offer for book lovers. Though the space is on the smaller side compared to other places I’ve visited, the selection is broa...
Prologue Bookshop
We had a wonderful experience making our own candle for the first time! Great and wide selection of scents and vase colors. They make sure that we loved our creation. It was a very nice experience! We loved it.
Vella & Co. Candle Studio
Ceramics in the Short North! It was great to see a wide mix of ceramics with work by great contemporary artists! I loved the work by Marsha Mack, very playful and smart, and Corey Mahoney, a chair that must be seen and experienced.
Adamah Ceramics
Two businesses in one visit, coffee and tea together with books! The owners are so nice and the space was flooded with light ... which is so helpful when book browsing. (Also picked up a perfect birthday card for a friend's upcoming birthday!)
Little Gay Bookstore
Neat little place. A little kitschy? Perhaps... But it's a good place to stop to see what smaller Ohio companies are making. I've found all kinds of cool random stuff here. Wines, soaps, honey, spices, handmade leather-bound journals, etc.
Celebrate Local
All the admiration for the traditional hand made, art and atrasan, beautiful and wonder products! This kind of shops should be more popular in order to keep the value of hands of wisdom
Helen Winnemore's Art & Gifts
I am OBSESSED with Wild Cat. It's truly my favorite place in Columbus to find cute gifts or things for myself. Very unique and always changing inventory. The stickers I got are great quality and so cute. The staff are always happy to see you and supe...
Wild Cat Gift & Party
This place is amazing. Purchasing laundry soap in bulk is so much cheaper and greener. We reuse old packaging and get it refilled. We have used laundry detergent for 3 months and the clothes are very clean. The powered dishwasher soap is great and ch...
REWASH Refillery
Here to sprinkle some positivity confetti for Natterdoodles! I’ve been a fan of Natterdoodles’ work for years! I have several of their art pieces. I’ve ordered accessories for me and my friends. And just this week I ordered a mystery box and gifted a...
NatterDoodle
So many cute little knick knacks and some high end clothes for affordable prices. A lot of cool neat stuff here! The employee working was so helpful and gave us a lot of tips for things to do in the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
Tigertree
This is such a hidden gem. From the unassuming exterior to the vast expensive space inside with extra rooms in a hallway that leads you to the back. You can find unique gifts or little things for yourself on your journey. I had to buy a candle and a ...
