Gem Thrift

Love this place.. This is the only real thrift store around with low prices like thrift stores should be . Today's thrift stores are trying to have prices like front store prices brand new!. Also the best customer service too .

Cute place but super tiny. I found a cute vase for my flowers here! If you love digging for treasures this may be a place but I am not sure if the selection is big enough for what you could be looking for. Overall, adorable neighborhood thrift store! :)

Local small family business. Huge variety of goods. Always updating because the prices are so reasonable that the owner has a frequent turnover of goods. If you see something you like, buy it now or the next customer will. The shop also has small selection of local neighborhood artists that have co-signed their arts and crafts with G,E.M. A fun place to browse for unexpected treasures. The owner is following all pandemic recommendations - requiring masks, hand sanitizer on hand, and limiting the number of customers at a time. Worth your time to sit on the porch, enjoy the sun, visit with neighbors (at a safe distance) and wait your turn.P.S. They are a THRIFT STORE! They do not sell gems. G.E.M. stands for Green Earth Matters. Protecting the Earth by not continuing to always buy new. The owners believe in re-cycling & re-using. Using goods over & over until they wear out. Pay it forward.

Amazing items for cheap that will allow you to recycle and conserve in your community.

I love this place. The idea behind it is so important - keeping stuff out of the landfill. The prices are so reasonable, it's almost like a more convenient version of a Buy Nothing Group. They also feature a few consignment items like handmade crafts from people in the neighborhood, and records from a long time collector, which feels good to support as well. Not only are all the items in the shop given a second chance, but so too is the historic house the shop is located in -- ask the owner about how it was moved from the original location and the customer who stopped by who was born in it--just the kind of community honoring and building I can get behind! So far I've rehomed an antique candle holder, a 60s Soul record in perfect condition, a really nice set of iron fireplace tools, a wee vintage deer figurine for my friend who collects them, some vintage Christmas wrapping paper, and an Avon toucan pin. I can't wait to peruse some more and take a box of things to donate to the cause as well. So glad this shop has come to my neighborhood!

fun little second hand item shop. the pricing wasn't too shabby either. & the customer service there was fantastic. the two workers were very friendly. they didn't have what i was looking for but i did get some custom placemats that were all in good condition. definitely a spot i would come back to again.

Tara was so friendly and I liked her philosophy of re-purposing old items to save them from the landfill.Her prices are reasonable and I bring all my charitable donations to Gem to help her cause.

Tiny shop but packed with goodies. You have to do some digging but the items I got were amazing and the prices were unbelievable.

This is literally the best thrift shop I've been to in years, maybe decades. Pretty basic things, but great prices and warm and lovely owner. I'll be back every chance I get!

In town for a few days and looked up best thrift stores. This got good reviews and I see why. Clothing was a dollar and they had lots of things for all genders. Household items, records, and more! Highly recommend
