This place is what Claire's WISHES it could be. The sections are color coordinated, the prices are reasonable, and they have friendly, helpful staff. The quality of the products are pretty good as I've had several rings that have oxidized. The purses are cute. The shoes and scarves are super reasonable. It's not tacky or overly ridiculous. It's easy to coordinate outfits with the pieces they have and Charming Charlie's just makes me HAPPY. Take your time in this store. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the pieces. And yes, they do have gift cards so you can bring more friends to become Charlie-addicts.
I've visited several Charming Charlie locations and this one is by far my favorite. The other locations are fine...I think because this is my first, it's the most special. But all the stores are nice and exactly the same. :)
