I was recently looking for a specific gift and the person at the counter was nice enough to scan around the store and point some things out for me. They also do an AMAZING job of gift wrapping -- removing price tags and sprucing up the shopping bag with tissue and ribbon. They have all sorts of cute things like glassware, paper products, art, books, candles, home decor, and tons of knick knacks. Anytime I want to get someone a cute and classy gift that doesn't necessarily break the bank, I come here. Highly recommend stopping in!

I've recently been perusing their online shop and gifting friends with newborns Maryland-themed onesies and such. The selection in the shop is thoughtful and unparalleled. Plus, their staff is meticulous and very quick with assembling the gift orders. I highly recommend Best Day Ever if you are in search of a unique gift to make someone feel special.

Confession.. I'm horrible at gift giving! But, this has been the best day ever! Stumble upon this…read morecute little gift shop on my journey to find food. There is a gift for everyone and I mean everyone. Dog parents, this store is for you! They had cute dog accessories for your four legged babies and a little something for the dog moms and dads. I picked up a few things for my great niece and nephew as well. Great quality and personalize gifts for every occasion. Getting married?? It's something in here for you too! Cute accessories for the bride to be and her bride gang. This wonderful boutique is a life saver with their cute, funny, quirky, and thoughtful gifts!

Kitschy home decor for every season and holiday, fun cocktail items to stock your home bar, soaps, lotions, and candles from local vendors, eclectic cards to perfectly address every occasion, and many more items. Found Studio screams Baltimore wrapped up in a pretty turquoise building. They offer a decent value for some of these rare items sold here only in Baltimore. And all of the women running the shop are always so pleasant every time I stop in. I tend to make Found Studio my first stop whenever I'm in need of the perfect birthday gift for a friend. You could literally roam around this store finding different goodies at every turn. Pro tip, follow them on IG so you can keep an eye out when they have random sales.

The space in Hartford Road has been open for a year, but I just found it! There is a mushroom curated wall, and I lost my mind. I often feel like the boutique's here all sell the same things but Found Studio Shop is unique and you can tell BELOVED in the Hamilton community. Annie Howe, the paper cut artist also has a permanent residency here. The price point is from mid to high as it's an excellently curated store with higher end items. If you need to do any shopping, I would come here. It's a perfect place for gifts and cards. So so glad this place exists!

They have such cute stuff though! If you are into fun prints (especially mushrooms) they will have something up your alley. If you like flowy, comfy clothes, or maybe something that shows some skin, they have it! The staff is always nice, will set aside a dressing room for you and give you feedback on the clothes. Everything in the front of the store is usually kind of pricey but wait a month or two and it will find its way to the back of the store and be very affordable!

The store has lots of stuff to choose from. Don't know why the reviews were bad and only a few. This spot as better stuff than the airport and to be honest I haven't seen a lot of place here that sell Baltimore souvenirs, that doesn't have the Ravens on it . As a Steeler fan I would never buy THAT stuff. But Baltimore by itself is cool, I even like the state flag en the crabby crab. Check it out yourself when you are in the neighborhood.

I love folk art . . . so creative, earthy, edgy. And this shop is full of that, and a lotta quirk! Lots of affordable art from folk artists. Tons of cool postcards you might not be able to find anywhere else. Weird old photos to buy. Bizarro clowns. Chair socks (who knew those existed), vintage halloween masks (I wanted to buy them all), journals, very cool books. A lot of social justice stuff, which I appreciate. I know I'm safe here. The staff (including the owner who helps out around the place himself) were so cool and nice! I bought a ton of weird and delightful greeting cards, postcards, and a few other fun things. And I bought a couple fortunes from Zoltar, the famous fortune teller from BIG. This is a place I would shop at frequently, outside of museum patronage.

I ALMOST missed this treasure trove. There is a lot to take in, so take your time. There were a ton of items I would have considered if I didn't come with specific goals in mind. There were a variety of cards that were beautiful, funny, original or a combination of those things. The owner is very helpful and listening to her interact with a regular was very heart warming. The jewelry selection is BEAUTIFUL. The rings are in point, sweet necklaces and some earrings that had me tempted to put some holes in my lobes. Right now the vibe feel very holiday, but I'm interest to come back and take a peek during another season. Will update when I do!

My son and daughter always "hint" at how much they would like certain things. It also features a well curated selection of adult books including the most recent releases on Reese's Book Club (that is why it is dangerous for my wife). During my last visit, I found the staff particularly helpful. My wife had sent me the cover of two books she wanted. No explanation about genre. I took the covers to one of the employees and she looked them up and had them in my hands in less than five minutes. Price wise I would say Snug Books fits in with the other independent book stores in Baltimore. Ultimately you will pay more than Amazon but, in my humble opinion, the benefits of buying local are worth the extra bucks. Oh, almost forgot. Why is Snug Books dangerous for me?
