    A great birthday card!
    Natasha A.

    If you'd like greeting cards, jewelry, and artwork made by local artists, then you must stop by. I've purchased a bunch of lovely items here for friends' birthdays as well as for myself, such as quirky birthday cards, desert Christmas ornaments, desert animal earrings (snake and scorpions), and some desert art. They also have clothing, and baby items. Rachel the owner is wonderful, one day in her shop I mentioned I was looking for animal jewelry and months later she noticed me in the coffee shop right next door and came and told me she received some Arizona wildlife handmade jewelry from an Arizona artist, Suzy Kormanik Schwanz. There were quails, snakes, and scorpions. So sweet! Now that's excellent customer service. If you're worried about parking, park behind the shop, enter the alley between 1st St and 2nd St, you'll see a giant mural, park in that lot. Love supporting local shops like this and need a cute card or gift? Then get your butt in here!

    Great new expanded location on Roosevelt and Central, lots more room to browse and the natural lighting makes it easy to check out the goodies. So nice to see more retail moving in downtown to compliment all the great local restaurants be sure to check them out for unique gift items, jewelry as clothing.

    So Chic

    Cute place, was staying downtown Phoenix for the padre game and wanted to get a few cute things. The women's clothing selection is bleak. But accessories and cute stickers are perfect. Men's selection is nice. I got my friend a couple of things from the men's section which I'm sure he will love. A tad bit pricey for the stickers but they are super cute. Would come here again.

    Rachel Malloy is perhaps the most unlikely local business owner to earn my admiration largely because I suck at being creative when it comes to shopping. Whether its clothing, trinkets, jewelry, or whatever, I'm really terrible at it. Most of my immediate and extended family is Arizona born and raised, so I've often sought out clothing and accessory stores that have AZ themed (and preferably AZ made) options. Low and behold, Bunky Boutique has been right under my nose all along. The name Bunky Boutique is actually a tribute to Rachel's grandmother whom she affectionately referred to as Bunky. Originally opened in 2007, their current Downtown location has been open since 2010 and shares a space with Giant Coffee on 1st Street just south of McDowell Road (just east of the CVS Pharmacy parking lot). Recently, Bunky also opened a new (and larger) location in the Terminal 4 Pre-Security shopping area at Sky Harbor Airport. The selection is small compared to most department stores, but their small Downtown location has a pretty surprising variety of items to choose from. Most of the inventory is geared towards their female clientele, but they've also got men's clothing, baby items, and decorative knick knacks to choose from as well. I've been here a number of times now. I've bought my brother (and myself) some t-shirts here, as well as some decorative items for friends (including an AZ themed tic tac toe board for a friend's housewarming). The prices vary depending on the items sold and vendors by in large are local independent brands. Not surprisingly this means you might pay a little more for certain items (a t-shirt I recently bought was priced at $35), but Yelp has your back. They've always honored the Yelp check-in that takes 15% off an in store purchase each time I've stopped in. Lastly, I must also complement the staff at the front of Bunky Boutique for their great gift wrapping services, which they've twice done for me for free. So thanks to Rachel for saving my behind and making me look like a gift giving genius time and again. I have no doubt the new Sky Harbor location will also surprise and intrigue men and women alike. Your Grandma Bunky would be proud.

    The funky outside of Bunky.

    Bunky is a great little shop that you probably wouldn't find unless you were looking for it specifically, but would be happy to have found if you did. The owner Rachel (who is super super cute, more than willing to answer questions and make suggestions, and is very knowledgeable about the area) stocks her store with a lot of small label clothing (mostly for women), some cool artist-made jewelry, cool fedoras and trilbys and other hats, and purses including HOBO brand. There is a huge rack of cool t-shirts too including kid robot which I think is pretty cool. Some of the pricing may seem a little high, but if you found a lot of the stuff she sells elsewhere, you'd realize her pricing is really good. If you're in the area for First Friday or happen by another time, give this place a try.

    What I ended up with. Cactus tic tac toe boards for my wedding!

The store is packed with any genre of sheet music and books (and TAB form) for every instrument you can imagine (banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, vocals, guitar, piano, brass instruments, woodwinds, etc all of them). They sell accessories such as guitar strings, tuners, straps, picks, music stands, and some acoustic guitars and banjos as well. Vinyl records and small musical gifts line the walls, it's so fun to explore and each time you visit you'll find something new, as there's so much selection. If there is something they don't have in stock, they will order it for you. The vibe is very relaxed and they are never pushy, you can look around for 30 min alone exploring if you want and just ask if you need anything. Love this place and can't recommend it enough, it's also a vintage store with history dating back to the 1950's so it has such cute charm and decor, it's an experience that online shopping can't give. I now purchase all my sheet music and guitar accessories from Central Music, support local!

We were in and out of the shop in 20 minutes. The salesperson helping us was knowledgeable and friendly and we were able to find the accessories we needed as well (shoulder rest sponge and rosin). She's been playing it for 3 months with no issues and it doesn't go out of tune quickly like her cheap one. Billing is automatic and easy, with no mistakes. Such a great experience - we'll definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to the next one!

    While in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards, and after going to one store that didn't have…read moreany, they suggested we try Changing Hands. Jackpot--they had exactly what I was looking for! First, I have to mention the book bar inside, First Draft. We didn't actually get a chance to go in, but I absolutely love the convenience of having a bookshop and bar together. And I especially love a good play on words, so if I'd had more time and hadn't had my teenager with me, I definitely would have checked it out! Anyway, I walked in and cut right to the chase, asking an employee where I could find the postcards. They pointed me in the right direction, and I found them immediately. We were on a bit of a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to explore EVERYTHING they had, but I easily could have spent quite a while browsing the books, trinkets, gifts, and all the other fun things throughout the store. Then something caught my eye that I was SO excited about--the mini print vending machine! I had seen these on TikTok before, including ones in San Francisco, so finding one here was a really pleasant surprise. I dug around in my purse and managed to come up with enough quarters to get two prints. I absolutely loved the prints, and they made such a fun and affordable souvenir to bring home. It was one of those unexpected little finds that made the stop even better. My only complaint is that I didn't have more time to explore. I would have loved to browse the store longer and grab a drink at First Draft. Changing Hands is definitely a little gem in the Phoenix area, and I'm glad another store pointed me in their direction!

My sister and I had just visited their Tempe location and were delighted in how similar but different this Changing Hands was from Tempe's shop. Namely, this Changing Hands has a little area for coffee, booze, and bites. Just like the Tempe shop, they have an amazing selection of books and gift items and so much more. I find their prices to be so fair, especially for a fairly small indie bookshop--support small book sellers! We also loved that this shop has a tiny art print vending machine...think of the sticker machines from your childhood that traded quarters for stickers...but cooler!
