Have you been trying to master the art of manifestation? Are you on the hunt for some crystals to improve your energy? Or do you just want to go to a cute local store with great vibes? If so, Wild Berry is your number one place to stop.
Located in uptown at 15 W High St Wild Berry has been in business since 1971. This bohemian shop’s merchandise ranges from crystals, tarot cards, gag gifts and even vintage posters. With cheap prices for college students (I bought this amethyst for only $4!), Wild Berry is the essential shop for Oxford’s hippies.
The staff at Wild Berry are not only knowledgeable about every product they sell, they’re also exceptionally kind. The last time I visited the shop a staff member greeted me by saying, “Hello! You look like sunshine today!
Wild Berry has also been coined with the title, “The Best Incense In America.” As told on Wild Berry’s official website, “The moment you walk through the door, our aromatic and sensual Wild Berry Incense greets you as a fine bouquet.” With over 90 different fragrances and tons of intricate incense holders, Wild Berry has got your incense needs covered.
As you roam around the cozy store, you will notice that Wild Berry is a maximilist’s eclectic dream. Clothing, jewelry, crystals and so much more seem to burst off the shelves with energy. Sometimes walking into an overflowing store can be a bit overwhelming, so see below for a compiled list of products at Wild Berry for you!
