Unicorn — Local services in Woodstock

Quite the variety & quality! The great thing about this gift shop is the multitude of items + the knowledge the owners carry about them. Enticed to stop in when I saw an antique amethyst ring displayed in the window; I’m glad I did! The male business owner was occupied with a customer when I walked in but still greeted me. I started looking at the various jewelry collections to the back right of the shop and was stunned at the quality and uniqueness. My eye was immediately drawn to a type of jewelry I had never seen before. Once the shop owner was finished ringing out his customer, he immediately came over to me, kindly asked what I was looking for, and informed me that the jewelry I liked so much and hadn't seen before was 2,000 years old Roman glass that had been buried in The Holy Land. I was looking for a Cross, and he pointed out a few. I appreciated how knowledgeable he was about the jewelry they carried! I selected a beautiful piece and checked out. The female business owner was kind and gracious, too, while I was paying for my item. When I revisit Woodstock, this will be the one shop I make sure to stop by. I’d love to know if you can order online. I certainly would, but it would be a bummer not to have the informative convo on the...

I loved the store and had a grand time with my daughter looking at greeting cards and seeing such fun items. When we enter the store there was a hand sanitizing station and I used it and nothing came out. I made a quick attempt to get to the back of the store to let the woman on duty know. She quickly and in an irate voice asked if I use the hand sanitizer. I responded that nothing was coming out of the hand sanitizer station and I was coming to let her know. She thanked me profusely and refilled the container. I felt a nervousness and found myself repeating that I tried to use the hand sanitizer. My defensiveness felt odd and I knew that it was because the employee was being rude to people as they came in. I figured that it was because of COVID-19. I went about my business enjoying myself. There was a photo-mobile and my head bumped into it and same store employee told me that my head hit it and I responded, “yes, I know. I was replacing the boxed mobile l’d taken off the shelf to examine.” This young lady was certainly overwrought and while it caused some tension, I focused on enjoying the items in the store. My daughter let me know if she was ready to go and I had to admit that I was too.The merchandise is what made the...

Came in with a mask on, was told to put hand sanitizer on as soon as I arrived-no hello, how are you. Put hand sanitizer on and walked to card area. Was then told I needed to rub my hands together better before touching cards. Was turned off by this, and the employee’s tone, but did what she said and continued to look at cards. She then remarked to another employee that, “It’s like telling people to put on pants,” loud enough for me to hear-which was what she wanted. At that point, I walked calmly and quietly out and was totally put off by this woman’s power trip. Reading other reviews, it seems the rude tone wasn’t just an off day. Wouldn’t recommend Woodstock in general during covid, there’s a very weird and arrogant vibe...
