A place to ho for neat weird things but pretty and fun!
Unique store with a lot of books, gemstones, and gifts.
Such a cool place for unique gifts. I come here a lot to get stuff for my friends and family. It's not very big, but they have a huge variety.
Love this shop.. prices are very reasonable and the employees are helpful; definitely will be returning! Ouija boards will be in stock around the end of this week for anyone who may be interested.
Gotta love this place. Been in Lexington for like 40 years, and it's always stayed the same. Hope it stays for another 40 years.
I LOVE sQecial Media. It is a fun and unique place to shop for gifts for yourself and others. Parking is behind the store on Jersey Street.
Absolutely in love with this store..if ur eclectic like me u will find all ur unsusal needs here!!!
This is an amazing little shop that has a bit of everything. Wiccan supplies plus little odds and ends and gag gifts. Candles and stones and tarot cars.
Friend brought me here while visiting Lexington. Great variety and prices.
Took forever to get anyone to notice us standing by ourselves, and in a store that small it is ultra ridiculous. Then they didn't have what we wanted. They told us that they could order something and get it for us in 2 weeks. No thank you, Amazon can have it to me in 2 days and I don't have to wait for service.
Wow. That was the safest, most comforting retail experience I ve had since the pandemic began. The staff are running an impeccable operation, placing customer and employee health as their first priority. If you run a retail business, go see what they re doing for yourself. It s amazing.
Everything from pipes and hookahs to eclectic gifts greeting cards ect
you could spend hours in there and you find the cutest stuff and you never know what you'llps find
The parking issue is so serious. I love this place, but finding a parking spot is damn near impossible.
Very nice people, great selection of terrot cards, pride stickers, books, jewellery, etc
It is a great place to buy incense, candles and other trinkets. They have a wide variety of tarot cards as well as crystals for those who use crystals for cleansing and healing. They also have a large variety of books from yoga, to spirituality and wicca.
Staff are friendly and laid back. They'll do whatever they can to satisfy you and help you find what you're looking for.
One-of-a-kind items, reasonable pricing, clean-conscience-buying, groovy atmosphere, and kind, attentive service. Homerun.
This store has a lot to offer! I went in to buy a set of tarot cards and was surprised at the variety of their selection. I'll be returning in the near future
A little bit of everything, friendly staff and fair prices. A Lexington tradition.
Unique and awesome bookstore with every incense imaginable.
What a wonderful store! Loved the wide variety of books & zones, as well as delightful new age doodads
Parking was a pain at first, just a heads up for new folks: its directly behind the building. Otherwise it was a nifty little shop, had a pretty good assortment of items.
Wonderful store with amazing vibes. Sadly, some items are rather overpriced. Still one of my favorite places in Lexington
This is my favorite shop in town if you are looking for things you cant find anywhere else. They have the best insense collection!
Amazing customer service, great prices and awesome items always in stock every time I go
You will find something pretty neat here. Guaranteed :)
Well stocked, very helpful staff. Wonderful experience despite COVID precautions. Thank you.
My favorite place to buy stuff in Lexington. Even after moving to Chicago I find myself missing this space.
I love the relaxed atmosphere at sQecial! This is my first stop when I'm looking for a unique gift to give friends and family.
I LOVE this store! So many unique and special gifts. There is something at sQecial for everyone.
Smells great, good environment, generally good people there. Some things are overpriced at a level I couldn't justify but truly, anyone who wants to spend 2 dollars on a pen because it has a little whale at the top of it is gonna do it no matter what. Been going here my whole life.
Friendly staff, chill environment. Has all your bodega paraphernalia; incense, crystals, decor, throw blankets and books.
Love the store and I love to come check out the new products.
Wide selection but it's a bit cramped inside. Reminds me of Crow Haven Corner in Salem, Massachusetts but without the witches.
Cool little shop. I especially like getting stationary here.
I love this place I drive from Louisville to here about 1x a month
Interesting and unique selection of posters, books, jewelry, sculptures, candies, music and much else. Constant rotation of goods makes you want to keep checking it out for new items.
A very interesting store, customer service was good staff was friendly, I'd like to say it's reasonably priced. A nice veriety of incense and crystals and minerals and such. Lots of books and small little things. Singing bowls, sweet gift wrap, and jewelry.
Love this store!!! If you haven't been, you are missing out!
Amazing selection of unique items and super friendly staff.
Lovely little head shop next to campus with a nice selection of pipes and glass. Intense selection of incense and candles. Trinkets, toys and threads are a tad on the pricey side, but this is definitely worth a trip, before you trip, for you hipster hippies.
A true gem in Lexington. Sqecial continues to delight and amaze. I am now going with my college aged kids after enjoying it while I was at UK.
I had heard from the guy at White Willow Emporium the sQuecial media had a nice selection of healing crystals. So I went to sQuecial and was disappointed. The crystals were all behind glass where they couldn't resonate and the lady behind the counter called them 'rocks'. They are only rocks when you are projecting them in the air at your enemy, jk lol. But seriously, if you want better prices, better selection and people who are more intuitive or in tune with life, head to White Willow Emporium. I had such a relaxing experience and felt the calming influence at White Willow Emporium
Easily my favorite shop in all of Lexington. It has a wide variety of books and knick knacks, not to mention crystals, incense, and personal care products. It's a bit pricey on some of their products, while others are a steal. Definitely the place to go to relax and find your inner peace.
Even in a global pandemic sQecial is still the best thing in Lexington, safe and well staffed
Been going here since my early teens. Still the best place for eclectic tastes and all forms of things not mundane.
Take time to browse this local shop and you'll find something fun for yourself or a gift for a friend. The staff is very nice and helpful, even to those of us who are frustratingly indecisive.
Don't take all your money with you. You will spend it. This place has it all.
very helpful choosing new healing stones. patient. kinds. affordable.
Love the vibe of this place and the selection of unique items.
They have loads of stuff that hippies might like. They have stuff that not hippies might like too.
A Lexington institution for all the right reasons. It's a must visit in Lexington.
Super quirky with a lot of neat trinkets, highly recommend.
it was cute little store and the people are very nice. The only thing is that I bought some white sage. They had a whole thing of it and I didn t know it was white cuz no label. I soon found out it s sacred to indigenous people and can bring bad luck if your not or weren t gifted it. I wish they had have told me or had a disclaimer. Btw lavender sage is okay to use.
Cool, quiet lil place with alot of good books and some cool knick knacks!
Excellent source of information! Great organized book selection and knowledgeable staff.
Most COVID precautions I've encountered from a retail establishment! As always- pleasant associates & wonderful selection of merchandise! I love this unique, tucked away gem.
Love it! Every time i come here it's like I'm stepping back in time itself. I love the smell and the atmosphere of it, the people are always friendly and chill and work with you to get you exactly what your looking for. If your the "Hispster" type or one who likes to practice in certain arts, this is place for you. And even if your not, stop in anyway! No judgment is ever cast here and all are very welcome.
I looooove this shop. Staff is always helpful, they have everything you need from metaphysical, paganism, wiccan, and so much more. By far my favorite place in Lexington and beats Botany Bay by a long shot.
If you're looking for a gift for someone, this place is a must. So many lovely mugs, books, incense, statues, and purses/bags. The book selection, particularly the art and pagan sections are excellent. I like to come here at least once a week and always leave with something nice.
A whole lot of magic in a quirky little place.
Where my soul likes to shop.
If you're looking for a quirky gift or just something slightly obscure but insanely cool, this is the place to look.
Love the ambiance. Great place to find interesting stuff.
Great location to find whatever eccentric or spiritual or just unorthodox product you want and need. Nice library of interesting books, natural care products, incense, trinkets, and more. I frequent this location any time I get the chance. The only downside is that the location is the second floor of a repurposed house and it gets very crowded during certain hours.
Love love love! Such a calming atmosphere. The staff is fantastic. So much great merchandise. I always buy incense when I go! They have something for everyone.
