One of my favorite stores in Downtown Olympia. I love to go and look at all of the different stuff they have and their perfume and lotions are amazing their Oly Girl has been one of my favorites for years. And whenever I need to find a gift for someone no matter the occasion I am always able to find something here.

Eclectic is an understatement in this little gem of a store. Offbeat, unique, and unconventional and even kinky items one will not find in standard shops. Warm and friendly staff who want to guide you find that just right and peachy keen gift. From classic entertainment items to a variety of gotta have quirky socks this should be a downtown stop and shop.

Always fun, lots of great unique novelty things but the best is their scented perfumes, lotions, and soaps. Carry a small portion of Oly goods. A little on the pricy side but what do you expect its a boutique store that has been around for ages. A trip inside never disappoints.

Review №16

If you have multiple chemical sensitivities, either wear a mask or skip it altogether. I wanted to look @ the cool stuff but it was killing me. It was SO strong that wearing a mask wouldnt have helped, as my hair & clothes would have retained it & sent me into further illness.😟

Fun, eclectic store! I was looking for adult Christmas socks with flair. I found instead a wide selection of themed socks, charming to naughty. No Christmas socks. The red, black, and green Sriracha socks nearly came home to Portland with me. My favorite was I miss Obama.

Lauren was extremely patient with me while I debated my formula to make the perfect spray cologne. She was upbeat while she tested several different formulas to get it just right for me. She gave good advice with the smells as well. I definitely felt like I could take my time with zero pressure. Overall a great first experience:)

Fun gifts and souvenirs in a quaint spot in Olympia. Great if you want to find postcards or magnets for your family so they dont think you hate them.

This is such a neat little shop! They have the quirkiest things and a little something for everyone. My favourite thing to buy from them though are their perfume oils. The scents are AMAZING and last forever. Always a favourite place to stop when Im in Olympia!

This store is amazing and the employees are so kind and helpful. When I come in to shop for perfumes Im always mixing, matching, and testing different scents. They are always so helpful and chat with me on their favorites; its always an amazing experience. I can tell they actually enjoy their job and interacting with customers!

Review №27

Ahhhh...the random novelty shop. Ive always loved them, and I worked at one of the best in Seattle back in the day - All That Jazz.Find everything you DONT need at Archibald Sisters - whatever the new, trendy, funny thing is - they will have it. Rainbow cats, unicorns, gags, masks, silly sweaters, Hello Kitty stuff, pins with inappropriate comments...They also carry their own essential oils and can mix things for you.The staff is great - very friendly and laid back. Definitely worth a stop when cruising downtown Olympia!

This shop is a longtime local gem, offering a huge range of delightful & humorous merchandise. From insanely clever greeting cards to refrigerator magnets, pins, books and novelty items. But wait, thats just scratching the surface! Theres unique and beautiful jewelry creations, apparel, art work, and cosmetics, including in-house formulated lotions. They do wonderful gift-wrapping if needed, and have all you need for gussying up your gift items yourself with gift bags and gayly colored tissue. And smart, friendly, talented staff to assist you!

Funny little shop. Reminds me of a PG rated version of Spencers lol. The shop is filled with all sorts of small gifts and items with hilarious memes like this pot holder. They even had candy canes in weird flavors like Mac and Cheese, pizza and dill pickle. Just a fun little store.with lots of knick knacks.

The staff was fun and you are going to want to buy everything in the store. They have gag gift, cute things, nostalgia toys, blind boxes, cute socks and some bath stuff I didnt really check out due to toddler. I went to look and walked out with cat shaped bandaids, a pan flute and a pull string shark. Yeah it is that type of epic place.

For all you Olympians who want the original Oly beer stickers/decals that USED to be at Northwest Snowboards, you can officially get them here. They have the rights to sell their merch. I would give 5 stars if they didnt hike up the prices though. Still happy in was able to pick them up. Cool little shop. Worth checking out.

Great gift shop in Downtown Olympia. This place has been here since at least 35 years or more and continues to create their speciality fragrances, lotions and body washes along with unique gifts for every occasion! My favorite scent is orange vanilla. It was the first parfume my mother bought me and will always bring back memories.

Olympia is my home town and Ive been coming here for YEARS! When I was younger well and now, I love coming in to check out all there lovely novelty gifts. But recently Ive really been enjoying there fragrances. Im currently trying to find a signature fragrance for myself and this store has tiny little sample sized glass vials of every fragrance they carry (they make over 100) for $3.50! Perfect for trying new scents out. They also make lotion, lip balm, conditioner, shampoo, aftershave, shower gels, moisturizing body mist with vitamins and massage oils. I believe you buy ANY of there products in the scents they make. Ps they have a grate section of cards, gift wrap and jewelry. So basically a wonderful and fabulous shop for glamorous fragrances and fun novelty gifts and toys.Ps the most expensive there perfumes get are like $30 for 2oz so its much cheaper then department stores and they smell incredible with long last!
