| - I've been to Ten Thousand Village stores in other cities, but this location has the friendliest service. The employees here are quick (but not in the scarily overeager way) to greet you, and are more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
The prices at Ten Thousand Villages are really good. When my mother came here with me, she kept looking at the prices, and saying, "Not bad. I'd pay double at X, or Y." I spend a lot of time in the jewelry section--lots of dangly, funky jewelry, if you or someone you know likes that stuff. I find a lot of good gifts for women here, whether it's jewelry, handbags, or cute houseware stuff. I think the selection for men's gifts is more limited, but then again, it depends on the recipient. They also have a neat little children's section, and a section with musical instruments. Knowing that all these--many very affordable--goods are fair trade is a major bonus.
