Yes, this store is fantastic and they carry some great products that span from kitchen wares to gardening to home decor and even chocolates.  I'd spend a lot of time and money in here if I had either of those things.  However, I still have not gotten over how I was treated when I went in to register for my wedding.  I don't think it was possible for the woman at the desk to be any less helpful.  To have a registry desk and just hand someone a piece of paper to fill out and not explain anything is very poor customer service.  Considering that it was a wedding registry and sales were guaranteed, I would have thought they'd be a little more happy to help me.  I took the sheet from the woman where I had to fill out everything from my name, date, address to the sku's and descriptions of the items I wanted.  I walked around for a bit but got so frustrated that I walked out form and all.

"Breed is All You Need" is the truest statement I've heard all day. I think this will be one of my most favorite sites in which to get lost for hours. This place is like retail goulash - there are Christmas tree decorations next to hardware tools next to Vera Bradley purses next to hot chocolate mix and Godiva chocolate gift boxes.

Head to Breed & Co. for that impossible-to-buy-for person on your list. The staff is friendly and personable...in that way that only family-owned local businesses can be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting...I knew I was in a cool place when I saw an employee dishing up lunch off a stove in the middle of the store! Their candy counter is perfectly positioned for passers-by and they offer cooking classes and a bridal registry. You'll find a charming bit of local flavor with their make-your-own Texas chili kits, decorated margarita glasses, and Longhorn trinkets.

Go here for fun. Go here for necessity. Go here for gifts.
