This is, by far, the store that has the most extensive collection of the cutest and not so common merchandise (smallest Boggle, smallest Etch-A-Sketch) that I have been to. They have a ton of gift items including toys, greeting cards, magnets (Steven Rhoads!), plushies, wrappers, salt/pepper shakers, tea infusers, socks, pot holders, pens, books, chip bag clips, vases, aprons, and so much more. All of these were very adorable. The cashier that night was a very nice man who used to be a photographer. They have a few items on Nebraska. If you are looking just for Nebraska souvenirs, you may want to check out Made In Omaha and Old Market Sundries which have more selection of Nebraska souvenirs. This place is definitely worth visiting! read more

City Limits - There's always a cute signboard outside - you can't miss it! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

What a fun and quirky store! While visiting some friends in Omaha, we were walking in Old Market just window shopping around. We came across this store and immediately went in! I love a good stationary and fun item shop like this! They have everything from magnets, post-cards, funny birthday cards, gifts, stationary, pens, gag gifts, vulgar mints/gums, candy, trinkets and all! Pricing is very reasonable! I got a few items to commemorate my time in Omaha such as some funny meme agents, post-cards and a pack of mints with a hilarious joke on it. Additionally I picked up a wedding card and birthday card for some events I knew I had coming up. I also picked up a hilarious mug as I collect them. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Pricing is also reasonable! read more

City Limits - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is just a fun store. They have a little of everything - much of it is unique and fun. They have a huge selection of greeting cards, most of which are very funny. You can get lost looking through them. They have mugs, games, puzzles, books, socks, action figures (Einstein, Shakespeare, etc.). They also have political satirical items and much, much more. Some of it is really crazy, and some might offend. So, go there to have fun and expect some things you may love and may hate. While there, I got to meet the owner who does most of the buying. I had to see if it was as fun to buy the merchandise as it was to look at it - she said it was. I believe her. We could have spent hours there. read more

Think Hot Topic, but less focused on punk, alternative, or anime and cartoon stuff, and more brainy and witty and sophisticated. City limits has the air of class clown meets cynically witty sassy girl. This wonderful shop hosts gadgets and gizmos a plenty. Here you'll find stationary, unique (and belligerent) cards, Hundred of coffee table books, funky toys for adults, bacon lipgloss, and tons of parody type useless but funny gifts. If you're in a rut for an idea to give a gift to someone, you'll probably find something here as long as they have any sense of humor. A fun browse in the Old Market. read more

Plenty of other novelty items as well, from witty coffee mugs to classic movie posters to adult-themed soap. There are shops like City Limits all over the country. And it's always fun to visit them. read more

City Limits - Ran into Albert E. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I usually don't get sucked into buying random crap I don't need. But this place is just too fun. Unlike other random gift and gag shops, this place really does seem to have been curated to stock random crap you don't need, but of such good quality and value that you can make a plausible case for buying anyway. Of course, this will all depend per your preferences, but I suggest going straight to the back and checking out the greeting cards. I dare you not to buy one. read more

A pretty cool little shop in the heart of the Old Market. They have a lot of cool and fun things that you can't find in any other store. For these special items., the prices are what they should be. They have fun post cards and some 'adults only' items as well. It's a very fun store and I can't wait to go back so I can spend a little more time perusing through their wares! read more

What a gem in the middle of Omaha! My coworkers and I were just walking around in Old Market when we stumbled upon this place. We had a lot of laughs discovering things here. If I lived in the area, this would be my go-to place to find funny gifts. read more

This is an absolutely adorable little shop! Due to shitty freezing rain/snow/sleet The other day, I only popped in long enough to pick up a card. The card I found was perfect: it said "Happy Alcoholidays" and I sent it to my former neighbor, a sommelier who speaks of his family with exceptional derision. :) The cards are toward the back though, so I was able to spot tons of stuff I want to go back and buy. I seriously couldn't take a step without thinking, "Oh, that would be perfect for _________" or "_______ would love that!" It's typical gift shop stuff like totes and mugs and stationary, but with a sense of humor. I'm going back to get the Cat Lady for Life mug for my best friend because I know exactly what species of animal will be feasting on her face when she dies. I'm a dog person, myself. And let's be honest, there was plenty of stuff I'd like to get my own grubby little paws on. It's the perfect place to pick up a special little oddity for the special little oddity in your life. read more

Such a fun store to just look around. The perfect place to find a unique gift, board game, book, or pair of socks. They also have beautiful journals and notebooks in addition to the more humorous items. If you're tired of Hallmark greeting cards and want something a little more unique and potentially adult themed this is your spot! read more

City Limits is fun! Located next to The Tea Smith these guys have been around forever. Waqnt a postcard from your trip to Omaha? Got it. need a to for your friend that likes zombie? Got it. How about a book to make your plane ride easier for you, but uncomfortable for the guy next to you? Got that too. Quirky and comfortable. It is always neat to go in and look through the book selection for me. Do I need to Big Book of Bacon? No. If I did I could get it. Do yourself a favor and just stop in and browse. Try to do it sober so you don't get an impulse item, though read more

We found this shop while strolling in the Old Market District of Omaha. It was a great shop for novelty items and unusual gifts for those who have a warped sense of humor. We spent a good hour looking through the merchandise, and found many things that gave us a good laugh and that we wanted to buy. Some of the unique items that we loved - Sushi stapler, Giant Plush Microbes, Zombies the boardgame, the Zombie action figure play set, and many other numerous items. Worth stopping by to tickle your funny bone :) read more

Every time I go to the old market, I have to stop at this store. Love it! There's so many cool things in here to look at!

Reminded me of Spencer's from years past. The place is full of gag gifts, cards, and adult humor. I liked the stuff overall, and some of the books are downright hilarious. By the end however despite some good laughs, i didn't really find anything that I wanted to take home with me. I would consider this store to be a hit or miss with most people. It's in between for me since i did actually buy one thing. I got a cute postcard and a stamp (yes, they even sell stamps!). read more

I was intrigued by the storefront so I wandered inside. They have a lot of fun greeting cards, postcards, and other assorted gifts. Quite a lot of nostalgia-ish stuff (if that's a word!) I ended up leaving with a few funny postcards and a couple cards to send back home for laughs. A fun stop if your walking by, but definitely a PG factor on some items. read more

I am a sucker for cute, reusable waterbottles. Ahh. We were walking along, enjoying the nice weather and attempting to burn off some of the tasty dinner we just had at Rock Bottom Brewery when I saw the store display...cute stainless steel water bottles, printed with matching reusable lunchbags...ahhh, I surrender! We walked in and our dinner companions were drawn to another part of the store, where there were plates that only looked like paper plates...how clever! Along with stationary, cards, postcards, books and other trinkets and treasures, this store was a fun one to just 'be' in. read more

It's like the urban outfitters accessories section but on steroids. This is exactly the sort of place that probably inspired the hipster products that UO sells now. So many different quirky-fun-cool products that are stocked here. They have a huge selection of greeting cards, postcards, and other wacky products. I'll admit the things here are a little out of my price range...aka it would be a splurge. But it's a cool place to check out if you're in the old market area with friends. You'll definitely find something here that you'll get a laugh out of. read more

I love this place! Whether you are looking for the unique gift, something fun for yourself or just want to kill some time looking at entertaining silly even crazy items. It's the place to come. There are also good things to support Omaha like magnets or coffee mugs. Many unique things. Staff is always friendly. Every chance I can when in the old market, I stop in. read more

Literally one of my favorite places in Omaha to buy stuff I don't really need, but like, really need. Great selection of letterpressed cards from national and regional designers. Funny gifts which are reasonably priced for this area (like, if you see something at Urban Outfitters, check here first - if they have it, it's probably much cheaper). They update their inventory frequently (a must for this card junkie) and they'll take requests into consideration when placing orders. They have everything from sweet to dirty cards, gifts for kids, your grandma, your boss (if they're cool), and you'll find ten things for yourself, easy. I'm a little obsessed. read more

I love City Limits! Lots of odds and ends for locals and tourists alike. I ended up walking out with a piggy bank, a poster, and a postcard to send back home. There were also lots of books and other fun things for all ages. It's definitely worth the stop inside to take a look! read more

I definitely didn't expect to like this place so much when I walked in. I decided to pop in as I was walking down the street. I could have spent hours in there looking at little odds and ends. If you are looking for a different gift for your friends or family, this is the place to go! Also, the employee I met was very friendly! Great customer service and a genuine smile goes a long way! I ended up leaving with a couple of inspirational magnets, but I'll definitely be back for more. read more

I was in desperate need of stationery stores in the historic district of downtown Omaha and this store popped up claiming to be a gift shop. I agree to an extent because of its random oddities. I wouldn't rule out stationery store though. Loved it. read more

What a great store! Perfect place for laughs! Great gift ideas for all those inappropriate people in your life. Gag gifts, fun stationary, cards, books, and so much more! So happy my sister and I stumbled in here! Will definitely be coming back here next time I am in Omaha. Check out their Facebook page too! read more

Well, that was a fast $66.00. This place is like Spencer's but so much better. All kinds of work/cubicle toys and other knickknacks. There is a whole wall devoted to all things bacon. Vintage bobbleheads and onion ring flavored mints, just a smattering of the over all awesome that is City Limits. read more

I was drawn into the store by a garden gnome that was mooning me from his street-level shelf. If that isn't funny, then don't bother continuing inside because you will likely be offended by their sassiness. The store definitely has my sense of humor and I wish they were in DC since they'd be my go-to store for great cards and small gifts for friends. Their book selection had me cracking up at each one I picked up and would be great conversation starters. read more

I've lived in NYC and now LA and this shop is better than the ones of this type I've seen in both places! A great collection of funny books, novelty items, gag gifts, socks, etc. You have to go! read more

I love this store. Every time we go to the Old Market we make a trip here. They have something for everyone. They have greeting cards to funny books to hilarious novelty items. I always go here when I need a funny gift for someone, or even something funny for myself. They have a great bacon flavored, shaped, smelling and tasting section if you are into that. Or they have giant cups from wine glasses to beer mugs. Or my personal favorite they have germ shaped stuffed animals. Want to give someone the flu or perhaps chlamydia, give it to them in a cute little stuffed germ. Check this place out if you find yourself in the old market. Save at least 15-20 minutes, there is plenty to look at and read. read more

Really enjoyed this store. I'm from Mississippi. I haven't seen a store like this. It's full of fun, unique, quirky and has plenty of sensible gifts. Will definitely go again before I head back down South. read more

Great selection of gift items. Funny cards and books. Magnets with funny sayings and coffee mugs with different fan graphics. Very chill atmosphere. read more

I haven't been to the Old Market for YEARS... but, once upon a time- I just LOVED this place. GREAT gag gifts/ Hope it's as awesome as it use to be! read more

Stopped here on our way to road trip, loved it! Great collection. Grabbed few souvenirs for ourselves.

I had a great first visit to City Limits! My friend Jacquie works there and has been telling me to visit for a while, so I am really glad that I stopped in. I really love cards/stationary/planners and novelty items, so this store was kind of like geek heaven for me. I found an awesome planner there and saw a lot of really neat things that I will definitely be purchasing on a return visit. Cashier was grumpy, but all-in-all a good experience. read more

Great place for Lots of little gifts and funny items. I always stop in when I'm I'm the area! 4 stars because I've never had an employee look happy or hardly talk read more
