    This is a very adorable shop and will be a perfect choice if you are looking for a gift shop in NYC. The candles smell amazing. They also have a wide selection of kids toys and books. Highly recommend a visit.

    Cute little shop with lots of Brooklyn swag (cups, stickers, coasters, tops, etc). There's also a lot of other little items that would be perfect as a gift for someone. I didn't buy anything while I was here because it was a bit pricey. There was also sooo much stuff that I felt a bit overwhelmed. Check it out if you need a quick and unique gift for someone last minute.

    From the cards to gifts to the always timely store window -- this is the best gift shop in the neighborhood.

While…read moreon a trip to New York I popped in looking for some New York-based gift ideas for my sister. The woman behind the counter was very helpful in trying to assist me with finding something, and she even suggested some other stationary stores in the area too. I could tell she really cared about my shopping experience, and she was very knowledgeable. Well, despite her recommendations, I returned to Yours Truly days later and purchased some things from there. It just had more of what I was looking for, and I was more than happy to give the woman the business. Overall, it's a great stationary store to check out whilst in Brooklyn!

Their heaviest area of product seems to be greeting cards and wrapping paper along with pens, paper, post-its and other desk-type stationery. Staff is kind and product quality seems fine, although you will pay for that quality--that quirky card or small swatch of bespoke wrapping paper will be in the $7-10 range. Felt like the kind of shop I would normally adore, but I keep stopping in and leaving with nothing. It is incredibly niche for people interested in special or unique or bespoke products--and I do love them for that, it feels like the Brooklyn way, and I love that we have these bespoke shops for some people. This one is just a smidge too fancy and impractical and pricey for me.

Buyer BEWARE These people lie to your face and in their responses and the service in this place is just plain terrible then if you complain they want to involve police just like any other discriminatory party. Then they edit their comments to erase their mention of cops it's just ridiculous Their shirts are overpriced for their cheap fabric and the selection is no better than anywhere else Be careful if you're a POC (other than Asian) or LGBT cause they really don't seem comfortable and will watch you like a hawk. The workers don't even know how to tell if a bill is real or not they accuse you of it being fake tho just to decline you If you need souvenirs from Brooklyn go elsewhere Support the botanical garden or museum but this place is not the place to go if you're looking for good service, a good selection, or value for your hard earned dollars. You can walk them through the checks on it and they still don't believe you they are clearly off I haven't used any defamatory language or disrespect. I walked her through the checks, showed her the real bill and then she agreed it was indeed fake. Before I had decided her disrespect was not tolerable. The shop was acting in a way that is disrespectful and the staff needs training on what a bill looks like. Further who would counterfeit a 10$ bill ? No one that's who. This place is just trying to cover its tracks after being caught being rude. Now they're threatening to involve police for a real bill these people have nothing better to do than to discriminate indiscriminately. I've posted the exact bill. As I said before, I showed them each parameter of the bill and now they're saying I'm false. They're lying. They're now threatening me. Yes I took the bill after I showed her it was fake and decided I didn't want the magnet and pin for less than 10$. The video footage will show my taking it from her hand in my frustration, saying this was incredibly rude, and walking out. There was nothing sketchy on my end at all They saw my bill and decided it was fake. This business now threatens police action when they're the ones in the wrong. Magdalena should be ashamed of herself for this ridiculousness. Let's involve the police if you want ! They'll have the exact bill the review in the photos. These people are deranged and liars. Avoid them! Send the security footage ! It shows how I walked you through how the bill was real before you accepted it ! The only reason I walked out with my REAL bill is because you accused me of something you can't even verify !

    This was the first Brooklyn gift shop I went to when I first intentionally looked for a gift shop…read more I was already along cortelyou when I remembered this place existed. I needed some small trinkets for a friend's daughter and they delivered. I appreciate that it delves into different topics despite its small space such as food and related accessories, drink accessories (ex: corkscrews/drinking glasses), clothes and home design. Nine times out of ten I can get a gift for a friend from here that is unique. There are items there that are made by Brooklyn/nyc artists. But depending on when you visit, there are not too many things that are NYC/Brooklyn themed (there was an ash tray, a puzzle sets, magnets, & keychains when I visited off the top of my head). To my knowledge, there is not a website that shows all they have available without visiting but I would recommend looking at their Instagram to see what new things they have plus to see what events they are holding. It is relatively cramped even when you are one of two people perusing the store. Every time I visit, there are new items to look at. This of course means that some items you may have seen previously are gone. But they do have items that you are sure to see when you visit such as Breukelen Rub spices, Mike's hot honey and the street sign magnets that I love (I have multiple). If I am looking for a gift for a friend and I wanted a twist, I would come looking here. Is there a guarantee that I will find what I want? Not necessarily but I will have fun trying

Though in the last two years I just quickly stepped in to view the adorable, glass Christmas ornaments, there's a lot more. It's one of those cozy stores that carry unique gifts such as socks, tumblers, glassware and more. There's even a wall of pet toys and they're adorable. Some items are pricey. The Christmas ornaments are eye catching. Food ornaments seem to be the trend and Wood's Grove carries a wide variety. Of note: I'm all for supporting small businesses however, I tend to shop at more notable stores whose return policy is beyond store credit. I don't know what their return policy is but when I asked an employee about any sales on Small Business Saturday, her response was " we don't do sales". Excuseeeee me. It was just a question! Despite this, I might be inclined to pop in and buy a gift for my cats--if I remember. Giving 4 stars since the merchandise is attractive. **Update** I made a purchase over the weekend. The store's small space made it difficult to navigate throughout. I found out their return policy is actually store credit. Holiday items aren't returnable. Staff not particularly friendly. I just feel lukewarm about this business.
