I love their home decor options and they are very reasonably priced! Every item I have purchased so far has been just as as described and well packaged.

I can't believe no one has taken the time to rate Alternatives, they have been in Gainesville FL for what seems like forever and I never go in there without finding just what I was looking for, even when I didn't know what it was until I walked in!!! The staff are friendly and helpful, I only wish I was a zillionaire so I could buy EVERYTHING. The prices are good too. Now that I live in New Smyrna Beach, I still do my shopping at Alternatives when I visit. Best Wishes for the holidays! Flora MacColl

Alternatives is a really cool store. It has a interesting range of fair trade products ranging from clothes, dishes, and decor to Sweetwater Coffee and chocolates. My favorite thing though is the incense and all natural solid perfumes they carry. They are the only place in town that I have found Japanese incense, which i like for it's some what lighter scent!
