I like that it is literally a general store, you know, like in the old days, where you went to one small shop for all of your needs. The store has everything from collectibles and souvenirs to arts & craft items, children's toys & games, novelty items, gifts, clothing, candles, holiday decor, yard decor, and so on. They carry a wide selection of treats, including old-fashioned candy like flavored candy sticks, modern candy bars, sodas, fudge, and ice cream. OMFudge!! Some of the best ever! You can also get pickles, jams, and salsas. I always like picking up a few of these items to take home as well as to send to family on the East Coast. The ice cream is a wonderful treat on a hot summer day in Gruene. The ice cream area, kind of like an old school counter set up is adorbs. Everything here just makes me feel like I'm in an old cowboy movie. It gets pretty busy during peak times but I have to say the staff are fast & friendly and don't make customers feel rushed.

I called to ask about shipping time. For the standard shipping cost, it appeared I would receive the item in time, but FF offered to call me back after placing the order to discuss a faster option (not an expedited service). Well, they did, they had an option for another carrier, and even offered to absorb the cost difference. I got the item a day earlier than estimated with the original carrier. The item is also quite fragile, but it was packed very well and arrived undamaged. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and will definitely be looking here first for my freaky items!

The endless amounts of gag gifts and costumes can keep me here for hours. The staff is very friendly and has always treated me and my kiddo like family. One of the owners shared a story with my boy, who shares his fascination with all things chicken. That was what originally caught my boys attention since they had shirts with chickens on them. They have all sorts of unique shirts here and it's become a routine to stop by and check out what cool new gear they've received. Recently, we checked out their masks, and I've never seen such a selection of clown and dark creature disguises. I have to say this is definitely a hidden gem that has to be explored whenever out this way and no matter what time of the year for us. I always leave with something unique and unforgettable.

Fickle Pickles which has been around since 1980 is one of my favorite things about New Braunfels…read more In fact, prior to relocating from the east coast, I'd shop there twice a year. Now I'd say it's once a month or every other depending on when our pickle supply runs low. My boyfriend's family is in the area and this is always part of our shopping in downtown NB. Honestly, I can't believe I've never reviewed it before. I'm almost positive I have. But, I digress. I have two sisters who visit and one more than the other. She loves Fickle Pickles more than I do. Most especially the brine (the PERFECT chicken marinade). Had to do some replenishing today (5/9/26) and that's gonna make my sister full of FOMO. I'm pretty sure the amazing woman working today remembers the antics between me and my sister during our visits. Lol. She was gracious enough to snap a pic of me with a jar of brine...you know, to make my sister really jealous. Haha. Fear not, her birthday is in July and I'll be having FP ship her a goody box. The pickles are absolutely hands down the best I've ever had. Sweet and crunchy. My boyfriend lives and breathes for that spice! I love that they come in three sizes. This extremely popular small business has a few locations and the flavor and taste never waiver. This shop also carries household items like cutting boards, towels, decorative items (new and vintage), chachkies, etc. Can't beat free samples either. Perfect Pickle Popping goodness!! Until next month, Fickle Pickles.

How could you resist walking into a stored name Fickle Pickle? I could not. Love the…read morename...Fickle Pickles as the name implies is focused on pickles and not a ton of varieties (original and spicey). According to the store manager, the pickles are produced in Boerne, TX and delivered to New Braunfels, TX. Thus, pickles are their primary thang! Yesterday, I was happy to learn that this shop specialized in their signature sweet, crunchy, spicy pickles. This family-owned business apparently has a Texas pickles recipe that dates back decades. The shop itself is charming and filled with items with the cutest sayings. I openly laughed out loud when I read several of the inscriptions. Shelves are lined with pickle jars in different sizes. The store manager was the quintessential warm, knowledgeable, and Texas friendly person with a genteel manner. She offered samples, which put me in the yes category to buy pickles. The pickles for the small jar were $7.95 and $13.95 for the larger jar...more than you would pay at a grocery store for pickles. I purchased to small jar. Let's talk about them their pickles...the pickles strike a unique balance...starting slightly sweet, followed by a vinegary taste, and finishing with a gentle heat. According to the manager, that's why they are called fickle pickles because they do not know exactly what they want to be. You can choose between the original and a spicier version. It was a memorable stop in this cute little country town.
