Love the items in this store. Unique, beautiful creations, each with a story. Bought 2 beautiful suncatchers as gifts and asked for notes about their source to be included. I received items quickly with descriptions included. My go to for perfect gifts

Theresa is so kind, pleasant and friendly! Really made me feel welcomed. The gift store has gifts from all around the world South Africa, Guatemala, Ghana.. just to name a few. On your receipt you’ll see which country it came from!

Absolutely love this shop. Pricey but fair trade so you feel good getting it and supporting it!!. Got a gorgeous singing bowl here for my sister and it’s stunning to look at and listen to. I love everything that carry here too.

I found so many great gifts here! Useful items made all over the world. Great store.

Incredible Enthusiastic Service. Great Selection of worldly gifts, garments, and art. Wide selection of jewelry, books, yard art, and singing bowls.

Loved the place. Unique pieces created by local artists. We did not purchase anything, but its an awesome place to stop by.

Really cute place and every item has a story. The woman who runs it is very friendly and helpful. Only thing to watch out for is if you have an issue being around strong scents youll have a hard time here.

Lots of cool stuffs were sold here. Must Go!

Super cutie shop with a great selection of spiritual books, fine art, and hippie clothing. Most items are handmade and imported from India. Others are locally made here in Charlotte NC.Has a great selection of mindfulness children’s books!!

This store has some nice art pieces. Lots of handmade jewelry and home goods. Big variety. Some of it is a lil pricey but you usually pay more for craftsman ship.

I live in the area & came in to view this store & was told I wasn’t allowed in because I had a cup of water. Wasn’t sure what the big deal was with my water cup but they weren’t polite at all & so i never returned. you could kindly ask someone to throw their drink out but telling me not to come in because of a cup of water came off rude & seemed unnecessary.

Stopped in on a recommendation on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty quiet in the shop but it was even deeper than I first thought and there were people browsing throughout. Seems like a great one stop gift shop especially during the holiday season.

Love this shop & make it a must-stop wh whenever Im in Charlotte.

Explored NoDa the other day and stumbled upon this store. Although I did not purchase anything, it was great to look around and see what they have. Would recommend to check this spot out!

Pura Vida is such a fun store! And Teresa goes out of her way to make sure you find the items you want. Its the perfect gift store! Many of the items are Fair Trade, sustainably produced, etc.

I went here two weeks ago and have been back three times since. It’s a locally owned shop that supports, exhibits, and embraces all cultures. One of the brands they sell is Global Mamas, each item is signed by the woman that handmade it. Everything in the store is so beautiful and thoughtful, from books made from elephant poop to ruby rings. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Go spend your money here. You’ll be so glad you did

I am from out of town and fell in love with this shop! Although the items are a bit pricey, it is worth it because everything is beautifully handmade. The man (possibly the owner) working when I came in was super friendly and asked if I needed any help. He even went out of his way to show me how to use a singing bowl nearby. Beautiful store and kind employees!! Check out this shop if you are looking for diverse and beautiful gift items!

This is the perfect spot to grab a gift for literally everyone on your list, even the hard-to-shop-for ones! One of a kind gifts that almost always have a donation attached to them, the women who work here love to give back. Your money will go to the right place, and youll have a beautifully made trinket for yourself, or anyone else in your life. They have clothing, jewelry, baby toys, candles, dog/cat toys, cook books, an art gallery in the back...just go check it out, you wont be disappointed :)

Lovely shop w very friendly customer service.

Such and amazing little shop, packed full of art from all over the world! And the staff is just as colorful and charming! A must stop if youre in the area and even if your not, worth a drive from anywhere!

I LOVE this place! The owner is a very awake person. Makes it a great experience!!!

Favorite local place to browse and buy unique gifts from around the world for any age, from grandkids to grandmothers. Great variety and always something new to look at. Stop in just to take a look around and go all the way to the back.

This place deserves more than 5 stars they have interesting things I wish I can stay longer and get lots of things.

Really neat spot. Unique items. Friendly staff.

Lovely little shop with an enchanted feeling loved it, played with the Tibetan bowls a bit. Planing on going back to purchase some.

Not much in the way of art, feels more like a tourist trap than an art gallery.

Excellent store with a wide array of different items from other cultures and countries!

There are a lot of unique items here. It was fun browsing all the cool stuff. Its all fair trade as well, which I thought was really cool.

Love this place. So relaxing and filled with so many things to explore. The staff is always courteous and ready to help with questions on their products.

Loved the stuff they have we bought a couple of soy candles and a nice leather passport holder for my daughter for Christmas.. Very friendly and I will go back.

This is one of my favorite stores. A great selection of fair trade items, including clothing, bags, books, jewelry, and much more. I buy jewelry every time because there is always something new and unique. Three rooms of items and so much fun to browse. Hard to find items are available, too. Besutiful colorful baskets. The owner is a delightful person, so willing to let you try on pieces and to tell you about them. This is a dont-miss place in Noda.

Great shop! So much amazing art. Teresa is so nice, extremely helpful and knows her stuff! Next time in Plaza Midwood looking for a special gift, this must be your next stop!

Staff is friendly and helpful. Selection is alright, but like others said, I would consider almost everything in the store more crafts or sustainable works rather than art.Theyre prices are very high compared to other shops of this style. $5 for a rock? $3 for a charm thats smaller and thinner than my thumbnail?Bought a locally made candle here only to find out they charge almost double what youd pay to buy direct. While I understand that upcharge when buying from outside the community (youre paying for middle men, shipping, duties, etc.), you should not be charging that much for a product delivered straight to you from a local producer. Make buying local affordable and therefore sustainable.

I adore this place. Wish I lived closer.

Sweetest lady runs shop! She has all kinds of trinkets and art from local to international. The owner has a kind and empathetic heart and loves to support all people. Def check her out when visiting NoDa!,

Awesome pieces from around the world, lots of handmade iteams. Your inner (or outer) hippie will love this shop in NODA.

Local shopping for fair trade and handmade worldly goods. Great gift & curio shop. Also beautiful ladies casual attire.

My sister took me here to experience the store and I love it because it has alot of spiritual meaning and if you want to change life by reading books and such come here great store

Went here hoping to find some Pura Vida Bracelets. Only had rings and I was considering one until I saw the price. They were charging $25 for a ring that was $12 on the website. I understand that it is sometimes nessesary to upcharge but I think over half is too much. The store has many things from trinkets to clothes but it just isn’t for me.

This is the most magical, spiritually moving place I have ever seen, with a powerful and positive message of love, sharing, helping, and connecting with the world. I could spend the whole day here.

Very beautiful and creative items here...jewelry, trinkets, art, and things for spiritual and yoga practices!

Great local shop. Come check them out, perfect place to find a unique gift.

I dont like the mass produced feeling you get from most of the products. The back room, although small, makes up for it by displaying and selling local art. The owner is super nice and helpful!

Beautiful and adorable stuff from asp over the world. A little pricey, but worth it to know the people who made the products are fairly treated and reimbursed for their work.

My experience was great. The sales associate was informative, kind and helpful.

Terrific service! Wonderful selection . My favorite store in Noda.

This store is full of wonderful pieces of art and great items to buy. The environment is so please upon just walking in and the store owner is beyond amazing!

Amazing art! Beautiful place! Definitely the place to go in NoDa

Neat spot with some cool things.

Amazing selection! Phenomenal customer service!

My daughter loves going to see all the art in NODA.

This is where i get my palo Santo ❤

Totally worth a look around.

What a great shop for gifts for yourself or others!!

Youll find what you seek here for sure.

There is no art in this place, although they call it art. It is mass production crafts from South America. The word art is so loosely used in NoDa. Instead of raising the the standard for art, everyone chooses to lower the bar and call everything art. Dumb it down art.

Beautiful!!! Nice lil shop!!!

Cool funky

Pricey

Self Righteous Establishment. Rude to potential customers. Shop elsewhere.

Great, I found the ones I was looking for and gifts for all my friends
