Cost Plus World Market

So glad my boyfriend and I found this little hidden gem! We walked in to check out dining chairs because we saw a sale sign on the window. We ended up spending a half hour looking at everything in the store. We found tons of stuff we want to come back and purchase.
They buy stuff from around the world. So if you find something you like, buy it soon because there is a chance they won’t have it again. They have everything from home décor and kitchen utensils to food and jewelry. Lots of random items and food from tons of different countries.
We asked the staff several questions and they were very helpful. So we definitely didn’t have the same experience of not being able to locate staff or managers like other Unilocalers did.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend anyone to check it out. It is on the pricey side, but the stuff is worth it.

Great items and prices but the place is always out of control. You won’t find a manager in the store and on two occasions asked to speak to the Store manager. She was no where to be found. Employees are constantly changing and there is never enough cashiers. If you can tolerate the mismanagement and poor scheduling you will find great deals. Just be prepared to wait in long lines.

Be sure and go here and get exotic chocolate brand, Vosges’ new Wild Ophelia chocolate bars! They are cheaper than the main Vosges brand but the quality is the same. They have here a great hickory chocolate bar and a chocolate beef jerky bar! I prefer the bacon bar more but I was very excited to see this new chocolate series here! I have not seen it anywhere else but I am sure the few and far between of retail Vosges stores have or online but I am just as happy to go here and get them!

When I was a teenager growing up in California, Cost Plus was one of my favorite places to spend idle time. I loved going through the trinkets from all corners of the world, and it probably had more to do with dreaming of visiting exotic places than anything else.
So it was interesting to visit the shop that just opened in Ft. Collins and see it through adult eyes. I can see now that many of the products they offer are mass-​produced reproductions rather than imported products, e.g. decorative cast iron Japanese teapots for just $ 20 rather than the $ 50 or more that you’d spend on an actual import. Still, even the reproductions have their place — I thought about buying an inexpensive nabe pot, and might actually go back for one.
What I found most beguiling, though, was the imported food section. I’m sure I never noticed this section as a teenager — after all, if I wanted Japanese sweets why would I get them at Cost Plus rather than the markets in J-​town? Well, now that the nearest J-​town is 70 miles away, and the local Asian market is not a pleasant shopping experience, it’s nice to have another option for manju, Meiji chocolates, senbei, etc. The selection is haphazard, but there’s stuff from all over the world as well as things I remember from childhood but haven’t seen for years (Toffifay? Fruit Stripe gum?). Right now there are lots of Christmas items from around the world — tins of cookies, marzipan, pannetone, etc. Fun to browse, and to taste.
