Look no further than Cresswell Boggs, which is practically across the street from Mallard Ice Cream, so after you are done dropping your hard earned cash at the ice cream store, take a walk over here! The stuff in the store has a lot of my favorite items by Fred, Lip Shit, Accoutrements, Douglas toys and other gag items. They've managed to assemble all the gag gifts (and some really nice ones too) under one roof. Be prepared to spend a lot of money here. The inflatable cat unicorn horn was $9.99 here and $6.99 at Archie McPhee in Seattle. But still, take into consideration that you are in a historical town and you don't have to look further than a few steps for everything zany (and not so zany). Parking is on the street and metered parking is free on weekends and holidays. I didn't know this and fed the parking meter money on a Saturday (3/25/17) until I saw the sticker on the meter. Doh! (if you see duplicate photos, pls ignore. It appears Yelp has stopped linking my previously updated photos to my new reviews)

Sure, the Western Bookstore is the place to get your textbooks if you're a WWU student - but what I…read moredidn't know until I recently visited was that they are a great place to find art supplies too! Not only that, but their shelves are full of competitively-priced office and school supplies, not to mention Viking-branded accessories and gifts in pretty much all conceivable shapes, styles, and price ranges. From key rings to hoodies, from dog collars to blankets, if you need something for the WWU student/grad in your life this is THE place to find it. The staff here are mostly students, so be patient with them as many are learning the retail game. Oh, and parking sucks - prepare to hike a ways to get here. It is right in front of the bus stop, though, if that's your preferred mode of transpo.

They have school supplies, backpacks, and western merchandise…read more Downstairs there's a bookstore. A cute girl with glasses was really helpful, and I found the books that I was looking for. Everything was great, but the textbook is really boring so i'm just giving it 1 star.

I love this shop! Whatcom Art Market is easy to go and shop some local goods. I didn't take any…read morephotos inside the store out of respect for their rules, but I did buy this adorable locally made penguin there. I like that this art market has a wide range of prices-you can find gifts for under $20 just as easily as gifts over $200. It simply depends on what you are looking for. You can find decor for your home, walls, kitchen, or self here. They feature many different types of artists and cater to many different personal aesthetics. They also have classes where you can create some of your own art!

If you like to see what local artist are doing in the Bellingham area, this is a wonderful place to…read morestop. They have many local artists and their artwork for sale. On average there at least two local artists on hand to help you. We walked up with quite a few items and it's a good thing. We only have carry-on because I could've easily added multiple pieces of art. The local artist unhand today were very nice. Worth stopping in.

Love this store so much as they have lots of cool pretty treasures and cute little gifts and such.read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this Hobby Lobby. I was asked to leave the store at…read moreclosing, but there were no announcements warning customers that the store would be closing in 5 minutes like many other stores provide. A simple reminder over the intercom would have been helpful and would have prevented the situation. What made the experience worse was the rude customer service from some of the staff, Gabrielle. Instead of treating customers with kindness and respect, I felt rushed and unwelcome. Customer service goes a long way, especially at the end of the day. Unfortunately, the overall experience left a very negative impression, and I hope management addresses both customer service and the lack of closing announcements to improve future customers' experiences.

For my husband's retirement, I wanted to get his father's Bible repaired. His dad, who passed in…read more2001, had been a minister, and his Bible had started to come apart; the front cover was completely separated from the rest of the book, and the binding was beginning to degrade. The cover of the Bible had a unique design on it. So, I took it to Bison, and Kevin did a great job of incorporating the original cover into a new cover. I can't wait to present it to my husband at his retirement party!

I love love love stationary stores and this store made me all giddy with their cute supplies, notebooks, stickers, pens, etc. It took everything in me not to buy everything.

We were given school photos from family and had a suitable frame, but it was not the right size for…read morethe photos (too large) so we came here in search of matting for the frame. We found precut mat in various sizes that brought the space between the frame and the photos close, but still not quite right. We then came across scrap book paper! Very reasonable and so many options! It worked out great and finally we can proudly display and enjoy the school photos instead of putting them on the fridge with magnets lol! If you have time to wander, this is a fantastic place for Getting ideas for so many organization/decorating/house projects! The staff was friendly and helpful. I should also mention, they do offer custom mats here but for this project, it was not worth the money (these are tiny photos and we will probably re frame new ones next year). They also can custom frame and mat your photos/artwork of Any size!

I urge you not to shop at Michael's . I have had a Michael's account since May of last year…read moreprimarily for frames for sporting goods and comic books . With that said for whatever reason I have had my due date set as the 13th and just found out that it's actually the 11th . Not sure if that's on me or that it was what it said on my first bill . Either way I talked to 4 people going up the ladder and not one of them was willing to even reverse 2 late fees out of 12 plus months . I will never shop with this company again or any company that isn't willing to try and help to keep a customer . They give 2 shits and their customer service is horrible . Being in the customer service industry for about 40 years I have never encountered a business like this. Also no where does it say that Michael's AKA Comenity Bank that their app is called Bread Financial which in itself is stupid . I have always called or gone onto Comenity.com to make payments yet never knowing this whole time that my actual due date was 2 days earlier asking that anyone who does not shop there or has similar problems please share this . Thank you
