Sometimes you step into a thoughtful and magical retail experience. In a landscape dominated by…read moreAmazon and big box retailers this is increasingly rare. Meep's is one such experience if you are currently or were ever a child. As a Gen Xer with kids of my own Meep's is a dream come true. Toys, posters, games, activities oh my. When billionaires use our spending cash to fly sausage rockets into space we should all think more deeply about how we spend. Meep's is the type of place you should support if you hate what retail has become and hope for an ethical future. PS Kate Bush on vinyl with my Stranger Things fan!

It's definitely perfect for any toy collector-- adults and kids. The employee was well-versed and helped find what we were looking for. Reasonable prices and has a TON to choose from.

My favorite game store in Madison. The store has a wide selection of games (classics, family,…read morestrategy, dungeon crawls, role playing, tcgs, etc!) and a huge game library. They have a great space for events and playing games. The owners and staff are super friendly, welcoming, and easy to work with when organizing events/booking tables. They also have a great birthday discount of 20% off! You might be able to find some of the games a little cheaper on Amazon or other websites, but I don't mind paying a little more to support a store that provides so much more than just a retail transaction.

I was visiting from out of town and stopped in for Magic: the Gathering games of EDH/Commander. The staff was exceptionally kind and informative, and the clientele all were great to play with! If I lived here, I would definitely be here weekly and I definitely encourage anyone curious to check it out! They also have sodas available for purchase, and my only gripe was that they didn't have a better variety of drinks, especially healthier ones, or small bites. I'll hopefully be able to return soon!

Avoid doing business with this shop. I bought a rare book on their website, which was listed as in…read morestock. A couple of days later, the seller canceled my order and refunded my money without any notice or explanation. Their excuse was that they could not fulfill an out-of-state order because they could not charge sales tax. I paid shipping and sales tax on the order, and there was no notice of any restrictions on their website. Curiously, the book was no longer in stock after they canceled my order, and they ignored my communications to find a resolution. This strikes me as dishonest and a poor way to treat customers.

I was walking toward the lake and noticed books displayed in a window by my knees. I had to…read moreinvestigate. Lucky me, I stumbled upon Lake City Books. Looking at the sign on the door, I realized I was making this discovery 13 minutes before closing. I was greeted when I walked in and assured them I just wanted to poke my head in, as I saw they were getting ready to leave, and was told I was welcome. I made a quick lap around just to check them out, and stopped by their merch counter to grab a quick souvenir. I love a local bookstore, and grabbed a coffee mug to remind myself to come back. They had a cute setup and a table dedicated to my current favorite obsession, Dungeon Crawler Carl. They had signs everywhere informing everyone of their planned move, apparently out of the basement. I am not sure where they will be next, but I will make a point to search them out the next time I am in Madison. And come in plenty of time to peruse.

While in Middleton, Wisconsin, I stopped into The Regal Find -- and ended up spending way more time inside than I planned (in the best way). This charming shop is filled with handmade jewelry, local art, vintage treasures, and unique gifts from over 125 U.S. artists, all tucked inside a historic building! Every corner felt thoughtfully curated, and I loved just wandering and taking it all in. If you appreciate supporting artists and finding one-of-a-kind pieces, this is absolutely the kind of place you could spend a while exploring! Such a sweet small-business stop if you're ever in the area!
