Cute shop. Lots to look at. However if you’re actually coming here to get gift souvenirs you’re dropping at least a benji. Easily. If the prices were a little more reasonable it would be 5 stars for me.

Just attended the ribbon cutting for their new location - the store is very spacious and beautiful! Has lots of items to decorate your home, many sections are styled by color. They have a good selection of books and a children’s section in the back with a kids tent set up for them to play in. This is the best shop to go to when shopping for a gift - you will definitely find something unique and trendy!

Stumbled upon Deco Raleigh while walking around downtown with my family today. The store has a lot of unique gifts and North Carolina specific gifts. Whether youre looking for t-shirts, posters, pictures, cards, bumper stickers, hand towels, cups, mugs, etc., youll find it in Deco Raleigh.One of the items that caught my eye was a map of Raleigh that had building locations instead of streets. Very unique perspective of the city.Prices seemed to be a little higher than I would have expected, but maybe its standard for downtown Raleigh.Id definitely go back into Deco Raleigh. Especially if I was looking for something a little different for a gift.

It is always a treat shopping at Deco. And, their gift cards are always so appreciated. I love supporting this amazing, locally owned business. I enjoyed a shopping trip with my teenage son this weekend and we both had a great time. We found cool and fun things like puzzles, posters and books. I didnt know Ramen post-its were a thing. Now I do, and they are on my list of must-haves. The jewelry and Holly Aiken bags are so cool and stylish. Oh, and the safety protocols at Deco make me feel so comfortable. I have not been shopping anywhere else during the pandemic. GO TO DECO

Deco on Salisbury Street in Raleigh is a cool store with many different and unique items. This is a great place to get gifts for just about anyone on you list. I was impressed with the selection of items that they had on display. I was able to find multiple gift items and almost got a couple of more items that I put down at the last minute. The staff here is laid back and cool and friendly. Great shopping experience here.

I know Covid is happening, but just went by the open sign is up, but the door is locked and the other is blocked by a desk. They was no one there to help. There was one couple inside but I couldnt figure out how to get to be a customer. Frustrating.

Deco is awesome. It features tons of local crafts as well as items from national brands. If I had to sum it up, I would say it is like a high end Spencers Gifts - with class. Thats really doesnt do it justice, though. Whether you are looking for a last-minute card, housewarming gift, something for a tyke, or a Holly Aiken bag, this is the place to go. Seriously, whenever I am at a loss for a gift, it is the first place I think about.

Well stocked, unique and funny, some really cool handmade gifts. Things for all ages, from books, toys, games and even your pets. Its really an amazing spot for shopping for Anyone. So glad I found it.

Review №32

I was so happy when i realized Deco had moved and expanded instead of just disappearing from their former location downtown. I love sending handwritten letters and the card selection here is great for fellow fans of epistolary arts. Even better, this store is supporting local artists and crafters by selling their creative wares. I really love some of the earrings here and find them reasonably priced. Yes, there is expensive stuff in the store that i would never buy, but different people have different tastes, and its nice to see a variety of unique and colorful items to please the variety of people drawn to fun and funky housewares, decor, and accessories. Staff is friendly and helpful, as well.

A cute place to find neat stuff for the house or a fun gift. I think a lot of the items in store (not all) are made locally. The prices range from reasonable to high. Just depends who made it.

Adorable little shop with all kinds of treasures! the prices were pretty reasonable for most things. the staff wasnt super friendly, but I like shopping alone so that didnt bother me much. lots of local and hand crafted items which I loved! it would be a great place to shop for birthday gifts. they also had an awesome selection of baby items! parking wasnt terrible considering we stopped on a weekend, it might be a bit more tricky on a weekday.

DECO is an amazing store and my go-to for whenever I need a gift of any sort. It is very eclectic. There is a huge selection of local, raleigh- and NC-based goods. They have a variety of sections in the store so there is something for everyone: Baby, Greeting Cards, Jewelry, T-shirts, Kitchen, Gag/Humor and everything in between. If you think youll be a repeat customer, be sure to get in their system so you can get special discounts when you shop! Awesome staff is a bonus.

If youre looking for a souvenir of your trip to Raleigh, this is the best place to find one. Lots of art prints, decor and knick-knacks that feature or are made in NC.

I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I was looking for a gift shop and search results had this place listed. It was a gift shop, but they were outrageously overpriced for an abundance of below average merchandise! Do yourself a favor a price check items that can be sold elsewhere, example: books, games, toys and even some home decor and kitchen novelties. We were interested in a book, searched for it on Amazon and found from another seller. It was literally 1/2 the price!!! As for the handmade items, to each their own, but there was plenty that looked like it came from a 1st grade art class but had Mona Lisa pricing. Be forewarned if you have a sensitive sniffer. Some of the candles and spa-like items actually smelled like they were sitting there since the 1970s and had an offensive dank musty smell. The only thing I left with was a headache and queasy stomach.

Updated to respond: Interesting response. You should check your inventory again, because the pillow with Raleigh imagery on it was absolutely $199, of this I am sure. I dont have multiple accounts nor am I making multiple 1 star reviews, and it speaks a lot a out you that this is your first reaction to a few 1 star reviews. When you run an overpriced store, complaints about price are to be expected and thats what Im seeing. Im not angry at all, but I am disappointed in the prices you charge in the location youre at. You should move to Cameron Village or North Hills where this sort of thing is more expected.I just read your responses to the other 1 star reviews. Sorry, but those are ridiculous responses and yes you are wrong. Perhaps you should take accountability for the fact that you run an extremely overpriced store instead of blaming all the 1 star reviews on one person posting under multiple usernames. Thats quite an accusation. Do you really think it so far outside the realm of possiblity that more than 1 person finds your overpriced store....overpriced? Really?Pointlessly expensive. Stores like this are annoying. A $200 pillow that was mass produced using a printing machine. Any reasonable store would sell it for $40 or 50. It was like that all over the store. What a waste of a prime downtown location which could attract all kinds of foot traffic and pedestrian traffic that downtown Raleigh so desperately needs...stores like this absolutely ruin downtown, seriously.

Lots of cool Raleigh/local stuff here. Maybe a little over priced - I found a lot of the items in here for a cheaper price at other local shops nearby. Definitely worth a stop, just maybe not a special trip.

Review №81

Expensive for what? Because rent downtown is expensive? There are cheaper lands in the city. Poor excuse and poor use of downtown location for VERY overpriced souvenirs and trinkets. Do not waste your time unless you are rich and dont know what to do with your money. It was a t shirt in there for like $45

This is THE top shop for gifts of all kind. Have a friend who misses NC? Theres a sticker/cheap/expensive/unique gift for them. Did a friend just have a baby and you need a highbrow book? Theyve got that, too! Super friendly staff and just about anything you could ever want in a gift shop. The only thing you have to worry about it spending too much on the adorable stock, including a huge rack of locally-inspired (think biking and maps) tees.
