Can't praise enough how CUTE this store is and what a wonderful selection it has! Incredible warm and cozy wooden place where each candle, souvenir, and gift is crafted by locals for locals.
My first impression was - what a warm environment. I saw one owner working in the front, wishing a great day to an employee, while the other was carefully helping a customer select a gift. I judge a business based on how they treat people including their own workers so this business immediately got at A in my book.
I was impressed by all the high-quality choices they offered. Not only are these products local, but they're also carefully designed and crafted in any case. There were wood carvings, ceramics, beeswax lotions, designer candles, original artwork, NJ-shaped pasta, DELICIOUS peanut butter from Cape May, and so much more - all made in NJ!
I was looking for a NJ-themed gift for my friend's sister who lives in Seattle, whom we'll visit soon. As per usual, I was browsing on Etsy for custom soaps, but the company I liked wouldn't arrive on time for our trip. And guess what?! I saw the same vendor's soaps here! I was so happy I could get them as the same price as online without waiting for delivery & shipping fees. When I was checking out, the owner told me all about the vendor and how they're raising money for their daughter's future. By the way he spoke about his products, it seems the store has a strong friendship with each vendor, making the store feel like a community project - similar in this way to the Montclair General Store, another great local artisan shop.
I wanted to leave this store a nice review because I felt like this was a local business that really cares and they deserve 5 stars!
Also....Funny story... I entered a totally different store down the road thinking it was Just Jersey but after being very disappointed by their gift options, their employee told me I was in the wrong store and pointed me towards the actual Just Jersey! So glad I walked the extra block because the wrong store had me so...
Read moreA very unique store with everything NJ. The people who work there are always very nice and helpful. I needed a NJ tea towel for a friend who lives outside the country and this store had multiple ones to choose from! The one thing I wish they'd carry is a tomato sauce, I believe it's called New Jersey or Jersey something, I just don't remember the name, but the sauce is absolutely delicious and made in NJ. I don't consistently find it in the stores, so I grab as much as I can when I do see it. Just Jersey is worth taking a stroll through. There's artwork, clothes, purses, pillows, kitchen things and...
Read moreLOVE this cute store! Handy tip: bring any friends or family from out of town for a unique local handcrafted souvenir or use for Christmas or birthday gifts. I like to buy something local for friends and family that live out of state. This is the perfect place for that. Also, fun fact: great selection of bow-ties that I used mult. times for my sons school dances.Enjoyed the Jersey shaped wooden cutting board and jewelry. Also, purchased Jersey gifts for my college kids who went to school out of state so they can "represent"...
