Present Time: Five Must-Visit Canton Shops for Every Style

Plant Et Art

For more than three decades, Plant Et Art has served the Canton area as a quirky, familiar spot for one-of-a-kind gifts. From statement rings to gemstones like amethyst, citrine and mookaite, this eclectic shop offers unique buys. In its laid-back, positive environment, find pleather journals with Tarot card designs, Oracle cards, posters from Studio B in Copley, vintage books, tapestries, mouth-blown Canadian glass and more. Don’t forget to grab a pack of incense — the Wild Berry line has been hand-dipped in Oxford, Ohio, since the ‘70s.

Bird’s Nest Boutique & Decor Oakwood

This chic boutique, from a mother-daughter team, offers fashionable clothing picks, trendy home design elements and unique gift options in a stylish, curated environment. Pick up a coordinating sweatshirt and pants set in a rich brown color, and pair it with an animal-print vest for a patterned pop. Slip on a cross-body leather handbag, in colors such as teal, gray and mustard. Take home a whitewashed sign proclaiming “All You Need is Love,” or wrap up a pair of knobbed teardrop hoop earrings and an all-natural soy candle as the perfect birthday gift for your bestie.

Charlotte & Main

Give back while you shop at Charlotte & Main. This resale and repurpose retail shop offers vintage frames, home decorations, furniture, holiday decor and more — and all proceeds go toward the Marlin and Minnie Snyder Foundation, a Stark County organization that supports children aging out of the foster care system, military veterans and women leaving shelters. Find the ideal place for a retro, flowered cage lamp, or gift a new-to-you set of blue-and-white China. Choose from a wealth of furniture, including a breezy wicker bench, and stylize your bookshelves with a stack of vintage tomes.
