Although that may be true, if a customer enters a store before closing time, they should be served or at least helped in a considerable way. Pay these ladies more so they don't hate their job and want to leave ten minutes before closing.

As someone who is always on the lookout for witchy things, I loved spending time in the corner where they had a quaint apothecary, as well as a good amount of witchcraft books.

Great place to grab a coffee, flip through some books, and just hang out for a bit. It's got a relaxed vibe. If you've got kids, it's an easy win; there's a small reading area inside and a patio with this cool little wooden playhouse that kept mine busy for a while. We ended up staying way longer than planned just chilling. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want something easy and laid-back.

Bottom Line: Typical Hallmark with lots of cards and gifty stuff…read more Hallmark stores seem to be disappearing but I'm glad this Severna Park location is still in business since they do have a great variety of cards. This store also has gifts too but they seem like impulse items or last minute gifts. If I was in Park Plaza and needed a gift for a female I would go to The Cottage. Hallmark has a few things for the guys in your life but pickings are slim.

I always get my holiday cards here and that special gift wrap that makes a small present seem like something special. The staff is always polite and they have a rewards program too. I love going here and even if to walk around, they usually have great small gift ideas.

I can't believe I forgot to review THE COTTAGE?! I was cruising through my reviews from our trip to…read moreAnnapolis mid summer. Annapolis has got a ton of little clothing shops and odds and ends but THE COTTAGE's selection was top notch. They had bracelets, bags, decor, clothes...you name it. I'm from the south and live in Ohio now, but this shop was reminiscent of the shops in the south. Classy and prices reasonable for the quality they carry, plus the staff were so hospitable. Hopefully I'll be stopping in on a regular basis if I get a Mid class 2031.

Bottom Line: A lovely collection of accessories, décor, clothing and gifts…read more The Cottage, a long time staple in Severna Park, has opened a new location in downtown Annapolis in the spot previously occupied by Kokopelli. To differentiate between the two locations they are calling the downtown Annapolis store The Cottage on Main and the Severna Park store The Cottage in The Park. The inventory between the two stores seems very similar. I can almost always find something to buy at this great local, small business. Here are some of my most recent finds: - Avanti greeting cards often featuring funny animals. They are the best! - Keva leather jewelry. It's light and so comfortable to wear. - Farmhouse Fresh lotions and soaps. Great quality and not overbearing scents. - Hobo purses and wallets. Awesome colors, practical designs and yummy leather. - A variety of thoughtful and sweet baby gifts. Lots of pretty prints. - Boho bandeaus. I really like these for working out in the yard. - Rifle Paper Co. stemless drinking glasses. Seems great for anything. - Although not personally a favorite of mine, popular brands like Vera Bradley, Kendra Scott and Swig. Since this location is in downtown Annapolis parking is a consideratoin. On an early weekday morning you might be able to grab a metered spot our front. The Noah Hillman Parking Garage is nearby too. Or you can always drive 15 minutes to the Severna Park location where parking is plentiful. Overall, The Cottage on Main is a great addition to downtown Annapolis.

Never use this store as a UPS hub. I ordered 2 iPads from my phone company and knew I would not be…read morehome. So I paid UPS $5.99 to deliver to an UPS access point(Michael's). UPS delivers packages at 12:24, but at 1:16 someone not me or family come in and flash their phone and pick up my package and leave. I come in at 1:45 to pick up my package with phone and ID in hand and was told my package was just picked up... Pausing for a second because no one but me can pick up I begin screaming from a manager...long story short the manager Margurette went against protocol and did not verify address of name with an ID. She let the guy flash a phone and handed over expensive merchandise... She later call her manager and the manger tells her to tell me that there is nothing they can do and to call the phone company and/or UPS. Both companies did their part. Michael's manager did not follow protocol and check ID.. I have filed a claim with T-mobile and UPS(let me clear this was not their fault) and with Michael's corporate (who hire a risk management company to badger and place blame on other companies). I've also called the police and filed a report and had the officers look at the video to tell me exactly what happened. Beware of this place something fishy is going on and it starts with that manager.

Store staff were highly engaged with customers, really helpful and in good spirit.

I bought some really cute Christmas stuff on sale. Great experience, highly recommended, will be back!

I usually associate Hallmark with cheesy plastic ornaments and tacky gifts but this Pasadena store is really nice. They have lots of gifts that are good for gal pals like home decor, scarves and scented stuff. There is even some local sports stuff for the guys and toys for the kids. The presentation in the store is lovely and the staff is very helpful and engaging.

When we called to ask what happened, the woman insisted she had spoken with us and that we approved the change- this never happened. We checked our phone log and only had one missed call from the shop, no voicemail. She also kept saying, "But you ordered sympathy flowers and we made them Mother's Day flowers" as if that justified the change. It was for Mother's Day-we liked that particular arrangement and the box it came with. Realistically, I think they mixed us up with another customer, which would've been understandable. Mistakes happen. But her insistence that she spoke to my husband, so much so that he had to grab the phone and say to her that they did not speak and our call log clearly proving otherwise was frustrating and bizarre. When I asked to speak with the owner, she said the owner was having surgery, which felt like an attempt to make us feel guilty for escalating the issue. When we asked for a full refund, she said we'd have to bring the flowers back for that and that she could only offer a partial refund. At that point, it became clear she was not interested in making things right. We won't be ordering from here again-not because of the mix-up, but because of the employee's unprofessional and dismissive attitude. Mistakes happen, but a lack of integrity and willing to own a mistake is unacceptable.
