When was the last time you went shopping and the owner made you coffee and talked to you in detail about his products, where they were made, how they were made, what makes them special? This is my experience every time I visit Indigo Traders (or Indigo Bath across the street).
The towels are incredible, try one. The olive oil is the best I've ever had, better than any I tried while in Italy. The shawls are so colorful and beautiful I just want to buy them all, wrap myself in them, and be happy and warm forever.
Try this place. Go ahead.
Pros: Unique and hard to find worldly gifts
Cons: Can't fit the entire store in my studio apartment.
