Away With Words

We just moved back to the area from New England and our first stop was Sluys. It was Halloween and we couldn't help but notice the clever "Redrum" display in this shop's window. So when family came to visit in December we went back. We had SO much fun in this shop. Mostly searching through buckets of rubber duckies. The owner was very friendly and helpful and treated us amazingly well. Thank you! We cannot wait to come back and get serious about some book shopping!

Five stars! I looove this bookstore! I was there last week with my nephew. It has a really nice, relaxing vibe. John was working and he was an absolute delight to talk to. I’d never been to Poulsbo and he was so knowledgeable about the area. I live in Seattle but would go back to Poulsbo just to go to this bookstore again!

Such a cute book store with an amazing owner! So friendly and kind, I came on vacation and will definitely return when I come back.

Cutest bookshop ever! Love their decor and atmosphere. Locally owned and operated. Owners are very inviting and helpful. Highly enjoyed my Royal Wedding Cake tea. I will be a frequent visitor now.

Lovely store in a lovely town! The owners brother attending the store and was extremely knowledgeable about the products, engaging, and gave great recommendations for places to eat and things to see while visiting. I loved the "blind date with a book section"! Such a fun idea if you're not sure what you're looking for and ready for a literary adventure.

I have exclusively purchased bath bombs from lush until I found this place. Their bath bombs are pleasantly fragrance and very cleverly named for any occasion. The fizz factor is a 10/10. I will not be going anywhere else not to mention the amazing books and other great surprises in every corner. I highly recommend. The perfect location for total self care.

My new favorite bookstore! Gotta love a place where you can buy healthy handmade soaps and a new delightful read to go along with it! Not to mention the delightful, friendly staff who offer up great book recommendations! I will make it a point to visit this place every time I come to Poulsbo (and will come to Poulsbo just to visit this place 😉).

I love everything about this bookstore. The vast majority of the books feature strong female leads, and the bath products are DIVINE. The owner is personable and fun to talk to, and makes excellent book recommendations! My husband got me the quarterly book box for Christmas and I'm in love! It's honestly a good thing I don't live in Poulsbo or I'd spend all my money here.

If you want a fun & cute bookstore with a “treat yourself vibe” then this is definitely the place. Grab a local coffee and pop in. The owners are down to Earth, genuine people which makes the experience all the better. Definitely visiting again.

Love the staff they are happy to see you. Beautiful display and I almost always find something I "need" thanks ladies

Love love love this place!!! It’s so quaint and beautiful and I love the ambiance that this place has. The owner (and all of the staff) are absolute angels and always super sweet whenever I’ve had an interaction with them. I usually buy mainly apothecary items or earrings and candles but they have an awesome book selection too!!! I love all of their scrubs and bath bombs and they always have such cool and interesting items especially near the holidays. Definitely a place I would recommend if visiting downtown Poulsbo.

This charming local bookstore is a must visit when you are in the Poulsbo area. You’ll find books for all ages and interests here as well as an amazing selection of homemade bath bombs, salts, lotions, and soaps. What more could you ask for in a bookstore? How about an incredibly welcoming staff that treats you like family every time you walk through the door. 5/5, this place is easily one of our top favorite stores to visit when we are in the area.

Love this shop! My sister turned me onto it and I am so happy she did. I recently moved across the country and decided to try ordering some of the "fragrance mist" It smells lovely and is in a nice glass bottle. The bottle came carefully packed with a sweet hand written note and sample of a matching lotion. I was surprised it came so fast since I ordered it during quarantine. I am so happy I ordered and I will definitely be back when I am in town!

A shop filled with locally made soaps, bath bombs and skin care! A wonderful book selection and amazing gift items! What else could you want?? I love this shop so much! Not just because of the great treasures you can find but because it is owned and operated by extraordinary women.

If i could give this review 6 stars, I would! I love everything about this shop - great owners and employees, very impressive line up of hand-made bath and body products (try the Bestseller Lotion, I guarantee you'll love it!) and my favorite part is the selection of books. They strive to keep a fun, eclectic variety of books for the real book-nerds!

A very special gift shop! The young man who helped us was friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable and attentive.

What a gem in downtown Poulsbo! This shop is geared toward women (and those who love them!). It's all about good reading, good self-care products, and the best bath bombs ever! They have a really fun assortment of gifts, whether it's a little something for yourself or someone else. If you're looking for a great read, tell them what you like, and they will point you in the direction of a perfect book for you. Elise and her team are so welcoming. Don't miss this sweet, unique shop the next time you're in beautiful downtown Poulsbo! If you can't make it there, they have a website, FB page and IG.

Such a lovely store. Soap, bath fizzers, books, stickers, and pins! You can tell she really loves what she does. This shop was great to step into on our walk.

Everyone who works here is amazing! Their products are unique and wonderful and the selection of books versus products is perfect. And now they have intimate toys too! Love it. Inclusive, cool and just a gem in the heart of Poulsbo.

Great bath bombs! We let our kids pick out bath bombs, 5 for 25. They smell great. The person working in the store was very nice. Lots of nice bath stuff here.
