    I've been coming in this place for a long, long time. Decades. Going back to when they were in…read moreCherry Creek area. I understand how it's work to keep everything updated on the website. But it's worth it. Now that they do not, I find it interesting that some of the staff there will bitch about Amazon and how it's had a horrible effect on the business. Or seem so impatient on the phone when I called to ask questions about what I used to be able to look up online. What's my option for shopping? I can call down and if they're busy, no one can go look for anything, I can come down and search around, and hopefully they have what I want. Or... If I know exactly what I want, I jump on Amazon, look it up and order it. And let me be clear: I really am not a fan of Amazon. I think they're the devil. I am more than willing to pay more for the convenience of local store stores, and I also like supporting local businesses. Wizard's Chest needs to figure out what it wants to be. I'd suggest bringing back the ability to look up items online, and failing that, make sure all the staff understands positive service for people who call up and ask questions. I'd be more than willing to pay a little more for the convenience of picking it up the same day.

    So I came here on a friend's advice, though prior experience has taught me not to shop here as they…read morenever have what I'm looking for and i wasn't wrong once again. If you're looking for costume accessories like super hero pants not leggings. There is a difference that the employee who I was asking did not know the difference and i politely explained to her. And other accessories than this is not the place. There is a fantastic costuming store off colfax that has basically all your needs.

    I had some extra time before my flight and wanted to see if there was anything to kill a short…read moreamount of time in the Denver area. On a whim, I decided to see if I can find any Sylvanian Families/Calico Critters on hand at any of the shops and lo and behold, Google Maps told me that Talulah Jones had some and I went to double check on their social media account and they do! The shop is located in downtown Denver and is fairly easy to find from the gold sign front, the art of the animals having tea time outside, and just from the cute set up of the goods they have in the storefront. I was immediately welcomed when I stepped in and I say this with the utmost praise, but it's a cute, cluttered, maximalist shop! Piled from the ground up and onto the walls are super cute decor, knick knacks, toys and so much more. Perfumes, greetings cards, stickers, blind boxes, clothing for toddlers and infants, stuffed animals, unique hair clips and trinkets, felted ornaments, cuckoo clocks, clothes for adults, and so, so much more. If you're a child you can definitely spend hours in here and even as an adult shopping for a gift for a child or yourself, you'll spend a good chunk of time looking through their wares as well. I believe they are quite popular for their Jellycat plushies as I heard people ordering and inquiring about them on the phone and saw some customers purchase some. I managed to find my Calico Critters on a tall shelf but a staff was able to assist me. I got the Walnut Squirrel Family which is my favorite family (not in stock on their official online shop during this time and I didn't want to pay import taxes) and they had the Happy Christmas Family which I believe was only released in the UK/Japan, so I can't even find this one online on the official shop. Score! I also got some cute puffy stickers. For bypassing the tariffs and shipping, I think Talulah Jones is a fair, affordable place, at least to get Calico Critters. Would love to visit again.

    This is an interesting shop with a lot of fun stuff. You'll find Jelly Cats here as well as a lot…read moremore. It's an eclectic shop.We were allowed to browse without worry and there's a lot to browse.

Each time, I thank them, and am returned with "you're welcome" if anything. NO gratitude for spending hundreds, no apology for not applying points to my account when your computers aren't working, just silence. Even getting one of the employees to stop gossiping long enough to ring me up, was extremely difficult. I felt like I was interrupting and asking favors, not PATRONIZING and supporting your store. It's unbelievable how entitled they feel. This is a prime example of why people go to major corporations like Amazon or Target, you can't get treated decently at a mom and pop and that's a sad reality for someone who really prefers supporting smaller businesses.
