Joy & Happiness

JOY and HAPPINESS are the central values behind the vision of Wild Bramble. When Melissa Blasi moved to Pella five years ago her brain started churning as her dream of opening a store took shape, with Pella as the perfect location.

So, what is Wild Bramble all about? Well, it’s all about finding your own happy!

“When you are living your best life, it still isn’t always grins and giggles and rainbows and roses. So we thought, what if we could provide a little bit of happiness wherever we go? What if we can share our friendship and happiness with everyone we meet?”, said Kami.

She continued “Pella already is a super happy community. Our goal is to build upon that! We wanted to create a store that has something for everyone. A space where all ages feel welcomed and can find gifts, from little kids to teenagers to parents to moms, dads, guys, dudes, families, and just everyone!”

Candy display

As Wild Bramble took shape Melissa started with their daily dose of happy, soda! Wild Bramble features a “New Fashion” Soda Bar with custom-filtered nugget ice, flavored syrups, purees, and everything you need to take your favorite soda to the next level!

Naturally, the next order of business was candy! Wild Bramble has bulk candy as well as prepackaged options. Fun fact: they even have Penny Candy! You heard that right! Kids 10 years old and under can purchase up to 10 pieces of candy for only 1 penny per piece! Can you say nostalgic?

Wild Bramble: Gifts and Happiness has everything from accessories to special custom pieces to jewelry, cosmetics, cards, all things birthday, fun socks, unique kitchen pieces, and more!

So where did the name Wild Bramble come from? “Blackberry bushes are also known as brambles. They are noxious weeds that are hard to get rid of. They produce sweet berries yet grow a little crazy. And, that’s kind of like me! ” said Melissa.

And finally, we HAVE to talk about the PINK THRONE CHAIR! Melissa knew they wanted a spot in their store that served as a perfect backdrop for unique pictures and a space where people can sit, visit, and have fun.

If you need a smile on your face, don’t hesitate to stop into Wild Bramble and find your happy!
