History

The Black Cat Shoppe started after a perceived lack of quirkiness in historic Wilmington's gift shops. The idea was to have a store that appealed the adults and kids alike and that offered an eclectic mix of nostalgic and contemporary gizmos, gadgets, antics, pranks, jests, puzzlers, tomfoolery, souvenirs and anything fun, funny, funky or freaky.

Specialties

The Black Cat Shoppe is a gift store busting at the seams with Randomly Inspired Fun! Here you will find cool kid stuff, pirate booty, zany & unusual nostalgic toys, humorous pop culture novelties, local movie & TV memorabilia (including One Tree Hill & Revolution), magical, mystical wares & much, much more. We also have a live wizard in the store on most Saturdays. The Black Cat Shoppe is kid and family friendly. Located in the old CD Alley, the CD store for both One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek. Here you are welcome to browse, laugh, guffaw and feel like a kid again.

What a weird little fun joint! A lot of cool knickknacks and they even had treats for my dogs! I bought socks and a couple gifts for the kids.
