At the Posh Pineapple, I spent nearly an hour debating between quirky pineapple-shaped mugs and a turquoise throw pillow embroidered with palm trees when I went there to get myself something nice. In the end, I chose the mug, and it has become my go-to for morning coffee.
NSB Kitchen and Home Shopping
If you find yourself somewhat of a chef or a lover of gourmet pantry items, check out The Galley. They offer luxury spices and cooking oils that will transform any dish you prepare. From premium olive oil, various salts, and specialty items, you will find many unique pantry items to try.
During one visit, I sampled a truffle-infused olive oil at The Galley and couldn't resist buying a small bottle. Back home, I used it to elevate a simple pasta dinner with friends, and everyone kept asking where I found such a rich flavor. At that point, I had no option but to share my NSB shopping story, and I did so happily.
