Indulge yourself with little pleasures.

The Scene
Aptly named this corner store in Andersonville filled with pampering products for the body and home; the store greets shoppers with a clean, soapy fragrance. Sunlight pours through the large front windows, and the walls are lined with stocked shelves. You'll need a couple of trips around to take everything in.

The Goods
Owner Robert Lang describes Surrender as a "contemporary urban general store." Splurgeworthy items for your body include soaps for every mood in every color, scent and size (about $2-$16). You'll also find body lotions, shower gels and shampoo. Aura Essence aromatherapy candles contain eight percent essential oils, while hand-painted taper candles from South Africa make unique gifts. Amid the sweet scents are savory gourmet foods--chips, salsas, bread-dipping oils, mustards, spices, salad dressings and more. There are also interior decorating accessories like vases, lamps, pillows, clocks and arty pieces.
