Cedar Chest

Cedar Chest, in Thornes Marketplace, is one of my favorite stores, of all time. This department store has been around forever! The great thing about Cedar Chest, is that it’s never behind the times. Their stock is always changing and always on trend.
I know this is going to sound weird, but they have awesome shower curtains. When I got my first place, I drove over an hour, just so that I could buy my shower curtain from this store. I actually ended up buying two that day (along with a bagful of other things). I visit a couple of times every year, and I never leave empty handed.
The first floor has a great toy area; offering unique toys, that you won’t find in the bigger stores. You’ll also find bath products, linens, women’s sleepwear, jewelry and scarves on the first floor.
There are so many cute things, that can be put together, for that special woman in your life!
On the second level, you’ll find an assortment of cards, stationery & books.
There is a garden section, kitchen items, rugs, shower curtains (!) and other bath items.
Don’t go here expecting a Macy’s shopping experience. This is a small, but unique department store. This is the type of store that people remember fondly, and always return to. Great products and great people! I hope that this store stays open for many more years.

Last time I was here I bought a bubble bath, and some things for my niece. I came here this time with my sister, just to look around. I ended up buying things a few different times because things kept catching my eyes, and my sister, the impulse shopper, wanted to see everything. I wasn’t out of the bubble bath I have from last time, but got another one because I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to come back. We also bought a few lip balms, two shower bombs, which I am excited to try, a few pretty soaps, a book that was a spoof on goodnight moon, a shower curtain, and a scarf. I actually wasn’t going to get the scarf but I went back in after dinner and got it. The clinique counter was busy earlier in the day, but after dinner it was way less crowded, and a we each bought ourselves a lipstick. My only suggestions are that they have some way to shop online on their website, and have a wider selection of leggings, and get some sweatpants too.

One year later and they still have the attitude! (Think no smiles, no «can I help you?» The general feel is that they’re doing you a favor by ringing up your purchases.) Oh well. I still like their stuff.

We were interested in the shop based on the dinosaurs in the window. Our son is a Dino fanatic! The shop is two stories and the bottom floor has everything from candles to toys, the second had more toys, rugs, kitchen gadgets, frames… There was a bunch of little cute things all over. I was pretty amazed. You can buy something for anyone here. I am totally bringing my son here the next time we are in town.

I really love Cedar Chest. It’s a fun place to browse around and look at all of the interesting home goods and other items, as well as a go-​to shop for a quick yet unique gift. While the prices are often a bit higher than what I would pay elsewhere at a «big box» type store, this is understandable considering this is a privately owned, independent business in the middle of Noho. That said, there are some reasonably priced items in every category in the shop, from kitchen gear to bathroom accessories to personal accessories. I recommended this shop to friends and family and tend to take people here if they’re visiting from out of town and want to shop.

People here are pretty snoody. I went to check out and the cashier couldn’t bother to say hello or ask how i was doing, or even if I found what I was looking for. Sadly, more a commentary on America today more than this location. Overall nice stuff but pretty overpriced nick nacks. I got a steel bear face that was a bottle opener, pretty cool but I am not sure I have a reason to go back again. I was interested in a chimes set but at $ 80, never going to happen.

This adorable little shop is a great place to look for gifts for adults or children, or to pick up a little something for yourself. Housewares, jewelry, higher-​end beauty products, kids books/​toys, and more. I got a makeup bag made out of beautiful purple brocade fabric for myself and a Grow Your Own Bug-​eating Plant kit for a friend’s son. Prices are on the higher end, but still affordable.

I love the Cedar Chest! Wonderful array of bath and body products, candles, bedding, bathroom décor… as well as books, kitchen/​garden supplies as well as toys and stuffed animals. The staff is polite and helpful. My go to shop for that occasional shopping itch.

I LOVE this place for cards and gifts! I found a really nice photo album in here once for a friend and she loved it! They also have a very unique collection of greeting cards, home décor, nifty body washes and lotions, etc. Some of their things are expensive but they are very beautiful! They have very nice Christmas decorations during the season. I would definitely shop here again for gifts.

A pleasant shop with a wide array of nice things I don’t need but wouldn’t mind having.
A shop to keep in mind when you need a gift for someone and you have no idea what to get.
