    a store aisle with a variety of items
    Donna B.

    Very cute store! Lots of fun items to browse through. Good customer service. I always find something to buy!

    Snack aisle

    While the concept is similar to that of a dollar store, there are two major differences: the items are $1.75 unless marked otherwise, and all of the goods are Japanese - including the snacks. What a fun place to shop for home, kitchen, office, and personal grooming accessories. Good quality Japanese stuff, very cutesy but also nicely functional and decorative. And of course at a $1.75 per item, you can buy lots of stuff and not spend very much.

    11/21/2023 - They have just moved from Cave Creek to central Phoenix right by where I live. I'll shop here more often now that it's way closer!

    I think Fauxreos would be a better name

    Cutie= Daiso Lite! This small unassuming building is basically like a mini Daiso. I'm not sure how it works that a seemingly non-affiliated Daiso store can carry Daiso brand products but it's great that you can buy all the same stuff you can find at a Daiso. I actually did see some of the same products sold here that I had seen at Daisos in California a few months ago when I visited LA and San Diego so the stock seems pretty up to date. Everything is $1.50 unless noted. You'll browse through here and find things you didn't know you needed, but have to have now since the prices are so cheap. The store is small but they pack as many items in here as they can and aisles are a little narrow too. Some examples of items they sell here include batteries, containers, purse hooks, sticky notes, laundry bags, spatulas, Pocky and ramen. There's a little bit of everything in this store. One other plus of shopping here during their grand opening period is that they give you a free tote bag for a $10+ purchase which we easily achieved while shopping here. Service was quick and friendly. Too bad they don't have a similar store closer to where I live, I'd shop there all the time!

    I loved Daiso when I lived in CA, so finding this tiny (and I do mean tiny!) Japanese dollar-type store was a delight.

    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!

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.

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!
