One of the best places in Chapel Hill to get gifts for your friends and family! I walked in with no time and was able to quickly find my friend a birthday gift.
Beautiful selection of locally made jewelry and North Carolinian merchandise to get if your stopping through town as a visitor.
I love their parking! Its right in front of the store so all you have to do is walk 5 steps out of your car and you are there!
Fun little shrine in the back of the building to leave messages and take selfies with your friends!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 1, 2015
Super cute gift shop with lots of local NC products as well as random fun items.
You can tell that this shop must only have a couple of buyers because the theme is definitely whimsical. There are fancy candles and some jewelry but also candy, housewares, comical socks and books and clothes and shoes....you name it.
The staff was nice and pretty much left us to our browsing but were available if we had questions. The shop is chockful but there is space to move around and despite the volume of stock.
I wish there was something similar closer to home.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Caroline Z.Chapel Hill, NC28361320Apr 13, 2008
I challenge you, the next time you need a gift...birthday, holiday, whatever, to go to Cameron's and come out empty-handed. Who doesn't need a wind-up nun action figure? Or a plastic, light-up flamingo? Or a giant, fuzzy deer butt to mount on your wall? Or a talking Napoleon Dynamite key chain? You get the picture. With an array of quirky cards and books, stylish picture frames, bags, decorative objects, and more, you can't beat Cameron's for a gift with a sense of humor.
Most importantly - they have an Elvis shrine. Write down your fondest wish and offer it up to the Great Pelvis while you shop.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Mar 6, 2011
Cameron's is pure Chapel Hill.
Quirky. Kitschy. Cool. ...and just plain fun. Cameron's offers pure relief from all of the same ol', same ol' places. It's hard to find anything at Cameron's that may also be found in chain or big box stores - it just isn't that kind of place!
I took my brother to Cameron's during his trip out from the central coast of Cali. He was looking for something different (think eclectic, semi-bizarre) to take home to his sweetie - an avid collector of all things poultry. Cameron's did not disappoint. From the rooster and chicken plushes to the refrigerator magnets and greeting cards, they had it. And speaking of greeting cards, don't go to Cameron's without visiting upstairs. Just don't be in a hurry!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Shaelene L.Clementon, NJ269145296May 15, 2015
Loved it here! The other stores in the area closed around 7 but this place was open latewe were in town for a training and stumbled upon the cute, hipster town of carboro! LOVE! Stop at this store to get something cute for yourself, your loved ones or to put a prayer or wish in the bowl in the back meditation room!

It's the unique gift shop you hope to find in a college town: funny cards, literary t-shirts, handmade jewelry, and free parking.

I was lucky enough to win a gift certificate to Cameron's at Yelp's Pop Culture-Palooza. I finally got it in my hands (thanks, Christina G.!), just in time for the holidays.
I made a trip over to Cameron's which is housed in University Mall. It's at the end near Dillard's. This place is really cool and eclectic. You really could find something in here for everyone on your list. There are books and trinkets, jewelry, hand cream and perfume. Tons of stationery upstairs, and really neat things for the cook in your life. The retro magnets were cracking me up, and I could really spend a long time browsing. Even though it was a little hectic in there with the holiday shoppers, the staff kept it cool and were helpful and friendly.
It's nice to shop local and buy unique gifts that I know my family will not have expected, or be able to return!Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Sara A.Chapel Hill, NC21860Apr 1, 2010
I first found Cameron's (bizarrely located in University Mall, beside... Hungate's) when I was in college and my roommate took me there to look for stuff to decorate our dorm room. This is, hands down, one of the best gift stores I have ever been in. If you want to peruse cool and sometimes locally made jewelry, picture frames, unusual books, eclectic decorations, stuff you never thought you needed, tons of refrigerator magnets and pins, hard to find and hilarious cards and stationery, and more, check this place out. Expect to possibly find profanity, politically polarizing, and some risque items mixed in amongst the kitsch, just as an FYI. You can spend hours in here just looking at the weird stuff they have.
The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but I can't complain too much since it's a local store with hard-to-find cool things. Go give it a looksee.
Oh, and also, take a look at the shrine upstairs. Yes, shrine. I don't know what it is either.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - CJ F.Durham, NC212265Dec 19, 2016
You would be hard pressed to find a store that is more fun than this one. I have bought so many gifts (for me and for others!) here and I have always been able to find just the right thing. T-shirts, cards, toys, novelties, jewelry - you name it - Cameron's has it!

I probably never would have discovered Cameron's if I hadn't received a gift certificate there from a friend. Once I got there, I had the hardest time deciding what to buy.
Cameron's is an eclectic little store - they carry everything from novelty gifts to jewelry made by local artists, plus a small selection of higher-end clothing. They also feature a lot of really cool cards and stationery.
The staff is helpful when approached but generally aloof - not necessarily a bad thing when there are so many interesting things to look at.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
