Things to do in Athens, Georgia (GA): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

March 3, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

In the sweltering Georgia heat, no place is as cool as Athens. This hip college town is home to the University of Georgia, Pulitzer Prize winning authors and famous rock musicians. Explore the downtown area, where Victorian buildings are filled with an eclectic combination of independent coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques. Named "Live Music Central," Athens' busy music venues are known around the world. Check out The 40 Watt Club, where The B-52s and R.E.M got their start.

Wuxtry Records

Reviewed By Schussboom

This place should be on the national register of historic places. Have been in Wuxtry records many times over the past year and it’s always a pleasant experience. All kinds of new and used vinyl and CDs, even posters. They also offer fair prices on albums you want to sell. They even sell a limited selection of stereo gear and have an assortment of used, vintage stuff next door that they’ll show you on request. They have a sweet Audio Technica turntable and Edifer speaker special we took advantage of that is affordable and an excellent value. The Edifers are great and have enough lower end to fill out a full sound for a small to medium sized room. Helpful, quirky, interesting, resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Wuxtry has been around a long time and it’s perfected the art of being exactly what it should be - an extraordinary experience.

Margo Sterling Silver

Reviewed By emmamF1703JY

This Metaphysical Supply Shop is full of high vibrational products and beings! I can't speak highly enough about it. I lived in this town for three years and was never able to come close to finding a shop, of any kind, that I loved more. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone who loves jewelry, stones, incense, colorful products... the whole shebang!
