GoodThings

We stopped in to the Good Things store while visiting White Bear Lake on Monday morning. This is an amazing store! I would definitely call this a "must see" boutique.There are 3 parts to this store and you owe it to yourself to experience them all! I started in the style area, which is the clothing part of the store. This is an upscale women's apparel store, with habitat, Liverpool, Johnny Was, and many other upscale brands. All of it is beautifully curated and displayed. You will have fun browsing the racks. The sales associates were super helpful and knew exactly how to interact with people--making customers feel welcome, but not pressured to buy.Downstairs, there is an amazing sales area. Don't miss this gem! Bargains galore and beautiful things! I'm sure it changes regularly.Then stop at the cafe and have a coffee, pastry, or freshly baked cookie. All the treats look and smell delicious. The staff was very sweet and service was prompt.After that, continue shopping at the Good Things gift shop. This is a top notch gift shop the likes of which I rarely see. It is brimming with themed displays for almost every interest or occasion. If you can't find a gift here, you may never find it! Seriously.You can wander in this shop for an entire morning and still not see everything. I hope you stop by Good Things. It's a fabulous shop. Locally owned. Go there for your next gift.

This is a great gift shop to browse for specific Minnesota-esque items. Lots of fun cooking paraphernalia and great gift ideas. I've also seen their booth at the Minnesota state fair and they always have the cutest things. They'll be back this fall at the MSF. They also had a great selection of stud earrings. I bought some socks that were so cute and 70% off! Woo hoo!

I love this gift shop and it's always a go-to each holiday season and this is because you can find a gift for all here. And if you can't you haven't looked close enough! There is Christmastime goods like towels, candles puzzles, plates and ornaments. There is a section for garden, toys, candies, cooking stuff like gadgets, utensils and cookbooks. You can find things for entertaining, like fancy glasses and cheese plates. Things for the bathroom and quirky humor and for the bicycle, wine or sports enthusiast. Love it! Only downside at this time during a pandemic is they said on the door they limit capacity, but they don't there was well over 40 people in the store when I came. No one is "policing" so don't make that claim if no one is monitoring.

This is the cutest little shop in White Bear, I love that they have a little something for just about anyone you can think of that is dear to your heart. The prices are affordable for what you're getting. The gifts are extremely creative and scream "I thought of you". If you're looking for a meaningful, yet witty gift you've met your match

A great place to buy gifts, especially for yourself. They have the largest variety of the Thymes brand for cologne, lotions, etc. The holiday stuff is out and you will be lured for sure. I bought a Halloween kitchen towel. They have retro candy, but the fruit stripe bubblegum, the thrill is gone. Adorable baby clothes at outlandish prices as in any boutique, that you'll buy anyway. They have a whole piggy and pork section. The stand out was bacon flavored popcorn and I immediately think of Samuel, the baconator and pick one up. Most things are so kitschy, and I love them all. All I can think of is the Paul Revere and the Raiders song Good Thing, and it definitely applies.

Goodthings is essentially Patina but in the WBL. That being said, it's great. You can pretty much find a gift for anyone there without wasting a ton of time searching multiple stores. Definitely a good place to visit if you've got some gifts to purchase for a wide variety of women/children . . . even some men if they enjoy beer paraphernalia.

I've been going to Good Things religiously for years.Everything in the store is unique, but the store's style mainly caters to classy ladies who've got a few bucks to spend however they like.Each section of the boutique revolves around a certain part of your home- from Boss Lady and Miso Pretty bath products to trendy hand painted martini glasses to artsy stationary. The inventory is always changing but remains constant in that if you see something you like, you'll be able to pick it up again a few months later if need be.If I could afford it, I'd furnish my entire home with items from this store.The one thing I dislike about living in DC is that they don't have a Good Thing's!

My first time to the good things cafe. I was greeted by a very nice employee cleaning the floor who quickly took my order for donuts and homemade croissants. Then it went downhill fast!! I told the grumpy bigger blond lady that her employee did a great job, negative response, no friendliness, nothing. I don't know why she's so miserable in life, but Good Things, cmon!!! Get rid of that staunchest manager in White Bear Lake!!! Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye......

Go elsewhere. Assistant Manager at WBL store is not friendly or helpful. Can find a lot of their inventory at other local stores. For a small business, you'd think they'd step it up. I'll be taking my business to other local small businesses.

This is the place to go to find the most unique gifts for your favorite friends! From cutting boards in the shape of Minnesota, funny dish towels, or gummy bears filled with Bourbon, and everything in between, Good Things has all of it along with an amazing location in the heart of White Bear Lake.
