St. Johnsbury, VT

Ysbrydoliaeth - Curiosity Chop / Magasin de curiosités is a gift shop for people curious to try something new or get re-acquainted with something familiar. We have a selection of products from Argentina, Brittany, Japan, France, and Wales as well as specialty and artisan merchandise from around the United States.

The emphasis at Ysbrydoliaeth is on quality and conscience. Many of our items come from companies and makers with strong social action and social justice policies endeavoring to help the world become a better and kinder place.

Come for a visit and enjoy our selection of home fragrance products and health and beauty lines such as Caswell-Massey, Margot Elena, Michel, Myddfai and Thymes. Our curated lines also include the NEK's own Aunt Sadie's Candles and hand-poured Dickens Candles.

Other gifts include hand-made Welsh love spoons and woolen products from Melin y Graig, the last water-powered woolen mill in Wales, Robesonia redware from Pennsylvania, and Kutani from the Musubi Kiln in Japan. You're also bound to find a few gifts for people who are little cheeky and like a laugh.

Our Food Department showcases teas, coffees and other comestibles from specialty and national purveyors from our source countries including Argentine chocolate, Welsh tea and cakes, and coffees roasted in various parts of the world including Glengettie, Mauch Chunk Coffee, Café du Monde, and Taylors of Harrogate.

Ysbrydoliaeth (pronounced uh-sprid-OH-ly-eye-th) means "inspiration" in Welsh. The root of the word, ysbryd, comes from Latin espiritus and likewise means "spirit" or "ghost," and so in addition to our products to enjoy from the everyday world, our range of merchandise also features a touch of the otherworldly with a small selection of tarot cards, books on Celtic paganism and Pennsylvania German folklore.

After reading this, we hope you're curious now and will stop by. And, once you do, we hope you'll become a regular visitor to our store!
