| - A little pricey and their selection can be slightly sporadic, but overall an excellent place to shop.
Their gift wrap and cards selection is very unique and not the "same old same old" Hallmark and American Greetings items. Just be prepared to pay Papyrus level prices (an extra dollar or two above what you'd grab at Target or a grocery store). Their other "gifting" items like soaps, totes, candles, and knick knacks are a tad pricey but worth a look, especially for someone who has more of an Anthropologie, old-fashioned, artsy, or hipster type taste.
I've purchased three pieces of furniture from this location and overall am very satisfied with the quality for the price I paid (using coupons/sales of course). Putting the larger items together was a pain, but at least you only have to go through all of the hassle once! I have looked at but not purchased their lighting and wall art.
The market/gourmet selection seems to vary with whatever special displays they put up (I can't seem to find several Hawaiian items they had featured earlier in the year), but is always a fun place to get some more unique or international treats. Their pricing on items seems to be around the same as the Asian and gourmet supermarkets I've shopped at, and while they lack the selection and any fresh items, they have excellent customer service! I wholeheartedly recommend the Hawaiian coconut syrup, and I'm not even a big fan of coconut flavors!
They have an excellent Torani syrup selection by the coffee wall, and they sell the pumps for the bottles too!
Note that some items will be found with the seasonal displays and not with their "category." Also, their parking lot can be a little congested at peak shopping times.
With great customer service (they've offered to call me and hold a minor $6 grocery item), a unique selection, and some great sales and coupons if you are patient, Cost Plus World Market is a store I enjoy shopping at.
