Great customer service and knowledge of inventory would recommend to anyone
SQecial has everything from quirky kitsch to incense and books to kitchenware. I don't know how they fit so much stuff into one place! Staff are very helpful and the whole store has such a chill vibe. Definitely check it out on your next trip to Lexington.
I have been shopping there over 40 years the best for incense,books, stones, gems, jewelry
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.
Absolutely a wonderful place to find all sorts of stuff
The best (and only) alternative store in the Bluegrass....great staff and lots of cool gifts.
Always has an amazing selection and friendly, helpful staff. I always stop here when in Lexington.
Amazing place. A must go to for any ally or lgbtq community. And they have books, incense, candles, jewelry, and all sorts or fun cool stuff you can't find anywhere else.
Old school, only found in Lex store. Full of unique gifts you can only find there. Come to visit every time I'm in town.
This place offers a wide selection of books and decorating items that you wouldn't find anywhere else. And it's got a great location.
Best place been going here since I was a kid, never will stop going.
This place is awesome, every section is another cool thing!
Really quirky and a little bit of the hippie culture in the 21st century. Counter culture books, funky jewelry and toys. Everything smells of incense.
This is one of my favorite places in Lexington. It is a collection of the coolest stuff, most of which you won't find anyplace but here. From incense to kooky mugs and socks to odd Japanese candy and some really pretty scarves, jewelry, trinkets, etc... they have it all. We go every year for stocking stuffers and other interesting yule gifts for the folks in our life who appreciate unique.
You should definitely head out to sQuecial if you have no idea what to buy someone because you are sure to find something there.
Great place, wonderful selection but fragrance allergen people be aware they have a huge selection of incense that permeates the store.
sQecial Media is an amazing store with a large variety of mystical items not to mention a very wide array of other misc items. You can find all sorts of items such as crystals, candles, incense, tarot cards, wands, altar cloths, religious statutes, new and used books, herbs, and runes just to name a few examples. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming and willing to assist you any way they can. They are very knowledgeable about any merchandise in the store and seem to be able to answer any question you may have. I honestly love this store and would recommend it to anyone whose looking for mystical items or anyone whose just out searching for an interesting place to look around. Thank you sQecial Media for being absolutely amazing!
Amazing place to get unique gifts that you wouldn't find anywhere else
Unique place. Could visit many times and still find something new
Unfortunately i wasnt able to buy anything but i will definatley be back. The staff was very polite and helpful. They're way cheaper then other places! Definitely recommend
Massive variety, you'll find stuff you didn't know you needed!
I love this little shop really cool trinkets and great incense! Also the staff is great, especially Vaughn!
Cool gift ideas, books, candles and other unique items. Interesting crowd.
Have gone here for years since I was a teen when visiting Lexington (30 years) and it is still as special as it was then. Took my 8yr old daughter and she loved it too.
Love this place. Love it since I was in my 20's and that was dinosaur years ago. Lol
A lot of interesting stuff here. While the appeal is certainly targeted towards hippies it really is a place for everyone! I picked up a couple cool architecture books, and finger hands to go on my motorcycle. But the person I was with was able to get some sage and a amber ring; something I'm not very intrested in, but they sure were!
Good prices for the most part. Also lots of cool stuff. Worth checking out for sure.
I really wish I had a store like this in the town I live in. Even if you don't plan on buying anything it's a great place to look peruse and take in the unique vibe the place gives off.
This store has been here my whole life. It is a Kentucky spot for sure. If you life in lexington you been here for sure. I grew up going to this head shop with my parents who went with there parents. This is best place to find that unique item for the kitchen for cheap. Like a bottle opener or a tea set or a stash box. Even random books weather reading or coloring.
Great little gift shop! Perfect place to get neat stocking stuffers and other creative gifts as well! Coffee mugs, incense, candles, books, journals, and much much more!
An incredible place! Always something new, and unique to find. If you are looking for a gift, you can't go wrong with something from Sqecial. There are interesting things everywhere you look, and something for everyone. I promise this place will put a smile on your face! A must visit.
my family smells every book... just to see if it came from sqecial
One of my favorite shops! Every time I come into town, I go. Always looking to check out their new jewelry!
I can't afford to buy anything here but man do I love everything about this store.
Lots of diverse products and a very cool atmosphere. The only downside for me is the heavy incense smell throughout the store. If you have allergies or are just sensitive to strong smells, be forewarned.
Favorite shop on earth I use it so mainly get crystals ,incense ,candles ,etc great store highly recommended
If you re looking for anything alternative or meta in Lexington, sQecial is the spot to stop. The staff are friendly and beyond helpful, willing to scan the bookshelves with you or slow down and have a conversation.
One if the most magical shops in Lexington. What a gem.
This place has unique items. Make sure you check out the whole store because you never know what you may find. My best friend showed me this place love it every time we go there.
Hipster kind of place. They've got a bunch of books, mugs and teapots, smoking pipes and related items, tapestries, random trinkets, incense, origami kits, etc.
This place is legendary. It's great for quirky gifts, books, and great et ceteras.
Lovely and quaint shop for pipes and more. Locally owned, the staff are friendly and helpful, and I love their selection.
Every time I go here the staff is super nice and helpful. It's a very relaxing place with a calming feeling. Highly recommend checking it out if you are interested in books or just looking for little nooks.
The greatest store in Lexington! Love this place and the vibes!
Very safe to shop, taking all precautions and I appreciate it! Excellent unique gifts, been shopping there for decades.
Love to browse this store, I always something to bring home that enhances enjoyment of everyday moments in my life.
Love this place. It has all kinds of awesome stuff.
My favorite place....My mom and dad took me there in 1975, when they first discovered it, so yeah, guess I 'Grew Up' with this place.....Memories. At the time, the owner and her husband operated it, until he passed away, now she runs it with some awesome staff, btw. I've introduced my children to this place, so, yeah, it's a family affair, lol.
Btw, they have a little bit of everything thing, for young and old.... Old School toys, incense, smoking products/supplies, candles, gems, decorative art, jewelry, crystals, room decor, and, well, BOOKS(on any lifestyle. So check them out! Tell them Tanya and Charm(the Crystal Queens....since we buy so much when we go lol) sent you. You won't be disappointed!!
They're located on the top floor, in the 2-story red brick building besides the McDonald's on S. Limestone. They have a small parking lot in back of the building, so DO NOT park in McDonald's parking lot. McDonald's WILL have you towed.
This place is fantastic for unique gifts. You are guaranteed to find some great items in this store!
It's been a while since I've visited KY but i love this shop. It always had what i was looking for, with friendly folk behind the counter, and a wide variety of stuff. That hasn't changed since I've been gone I'm happy to say
I noticed the pride flags in the windows when I grabbed McDonald's and took a picture. As i rounded the corner one of the workers told me they had a sale to commemorate National Coming Out Day (everything 20% off!) The environment was amazing and they all had their own stories to tell! They showed me anything I was looking for! The only downside was definitely the closeness of everything. However, they used their space surprisingly well for a store of random gizmos and gadgets. Definitely will return!
Lots of items to look at and a great place to buy gifts for everyone... And a gift or two for yourself
The closest thing to a new age or metaphysical store I have found in Lexington. Extremely open minded people, a wide variety of products catering to all religions and spiritual beliefs, as well as a friendly and helpful staff. Give them lots of love!
UNIQUE stationary, postcards, books, candles, incense, jewelry, statues and novelties galore.
A lot of variaty,it is a great store for anything from incents,novilties,and more.It has a nice atmo and great service
Sqecial is a quintessential Lexington shop. You'll never find a shop as unique as this. They have a special little something for the weirdo in your life.
Love the stuff. Love the people. Love to go home with that sQecial smell.
Absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for years, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The store is always organized and well stocked. Great place.
Great selection for everything worldly and spiritual you can want from a local place. The workers are very friendly and courteous. Smells great!
The employees are nice and helpful and the items they carry are fun to shop through. In particular, their jewelry always catches my eye.
I love this place. I already wanna go back for rings and a book.
Lots of cool things here! Pretty much everything you can imagine and some things you can't. Don't come if your'e on a budget tho.
Today was my first time visiting and I will definitely be back!
Such an interesting store with a wide variety of gifts/books
One of my favorite stores! I love this place so much !!
