They also have a spot next door where they host tournaments. I 100% recommend checking out this card shop if you're on the west side!

My wife had texted herself a coupon (50% off all Recollection stickers and Washi tape), and, while trying to pull up the coupon for the cashier, she accidentally deleted it. Rather than tell my wife 'so sorry, tough luck', the cashier took the time to locate the coupon on HER phone and scan it. The store was also very clean, and nice. The only reason for the deducted star is that the scrapbooking paper supply selection was pretty limited. I'd definitely still go to this location -- it wasn't sub-par in any way, just not an overwhelmingly amazing selection.

I live in Orlando but come to Jacksonville every couple of months to visit my sister and nieces. My…read morebrother-in-law is big into RC cars and has a talent for pushing them to their limits--and breaking them in the process. During one of my visits, I offered to help with repairs and ended up finding this shop. From day one, the staff has been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. What stands out most is that they never make you feel inexperienced for asking questions. Instead, they take the time to explain how things work, walk you through repairs, and teach you in a way that's easy to understand and encouraging. On my latest visit, I purchased another RC car (which I'm sure my brother-in-law will eventually destroy), along with a new battery. Andy went above and beyond--he found a Traxxas sale and made sure I got the discounted price, helped me figure out a better repair approach, coached me through the process, and even lent me tools and some thread locker to get the job done right. Customer service like that is rare these days. Andy is a stand-up guy, and the entire team has earned my trust and business. This is absolutely a shop I'll continue coming back to every time I'm in Jacksonville

Wind chimes, snow globes, figurines, etc., etc. They also have a few Swarovski Crystal items. There are signs every where saying "Do Not Touch" and "Ask for Assistance." I think it's a little crazy that if you're interested in a $20 tiny figurine you can't pick it up and look at the bottom for the price. But whatever. I do it anyway. :D Knick-knacks aren't for me..... I call them "dust collectors," but if that's your thing or if you are looking to purchase a gift for someone, then you may just find it here. This is the perfect shop for me to purchase an affordable gift for my mother because she is way into knick-knacks. Maybe that's why I hate them so much... because I grew up with them everywhere, so now, as an adult, I prefer to have things in my home more minimalistic. The man who runs the store (I assume he's the owner, but don't quote me on that) is very nice and he knows every single product. He can quote you the price without even having to look at the price on the bottom of the item. He can also tell you where every item was made or handcrafted. Because the shop is so very small and just about everything in it is fragile, make sure you keep a hand on your children because the "you break it, you buy it" policy is definitely in effect here.

I said "league of legends trading card game I'm looking to buy boosters and the proving ground do you have those?". He says "yes we do we have the proving grounds and the boosters". I ask "ok, how much are those?". he replies, "I can't discuss prices over the phone". I then tell the person "ok I'll come up soon". He said "we open at 12:00". I said "ok I'll be there". I get there right at "opening" and I ask the person for riftbound packs and the proving ground. He says "the proving grounds would be in that case over there" and points at the case." He then states "looks like we're out." Already frustrated, I decide to let that go and I ask them if I could buy some riftbound packs. I ask if I can buy a box. He states that they are not selling boxes until the release event they have on thursday to make sure they have enough product for that. This makes sense to me, so I ask them how many packs left they have in the display box they are selling out of. He states, there's plenty in there. I ask if I can buy the rest and he states "I can only sell 3 per person". I feel like there was a lot of room for better communication throughout this ordeal. I am deeply dissatisfied with the lack of customer service this store has. A lot of this information could have been told me over the phone.

I didn't have time to really look at all they had, but it stayed on my mind all day, while I was at work. It must have been a sign to get it before the sale is over. I needed fabric for 2 projects. One is a royal blue, and they had the perfect fabric for this one. The other one, I needed a gold color. I saw one, I was unsure, but since it was on sale, I decided to get it. I only needed 2 yards. The fabric department is busy! I was like the 3rd in line. It was a gentleman assisting everyone, he was very nice and super friendly. When it got to me, there was an employee trade off, she asked him to go and assist a gentleman, that needed something heavy or big taken down. As the lady assisted me, she asked me what I was going to make, I told her a couple of headboards. She was shocked. We were talking about the person I follow on YouTube Yoduvh Essentials, I showed her a couple of videos, I think she is now inspired to do a project as well. I didn't get everything I need for the project, because the other stuff never goes on sale. But at least I got the material.
