I was very impressed. Been coming here for years for one thing or another. But recently they have…read moreupped their game and in a big way!! I went in last minute for an alteration, and walked out with more then I came in with. I was so thankful for their understanding of the time crunch I was in and how they handled all my questions. While I was waiting I saw the cutest deigned items on the shelf. Everything from coasters, earrings, cups, hats, games.... you name it they had it! And it was all customizable. I recently also got one of their laser engraved cups and I could not be happier with the quality of the product and the service. The color and crisp lines on the engraving have stood the test of time (and my dish washing machine)!!! I will be returning for more and for any gifts I need in the future!! Thank you ladies!!!

Big Frog did a wonderful job printing some shirts we needed for our business. They were able to do…read morethem in one day and the print itself looked great. We have received many compliments on our shirts from them! The only reason I'm only giving 4-stars is because when we arrived to pick up our order it wasn't initially ready but they rushed it out to us after a super short 10 minute wait. I would still highly recommend this business though!

"I am extremely disappointed with the service and lack of attention to detail at this shop. I…read moreprovided specific instructions and artwork for a large order of work tees that required both front and back printing to meet OSHA standards. After seeing an initial mock-up, I emailed Adam to restate the specifications and even met him in person to finalize fabric and sizes. Unfortunately, the final shirts were still printed with the incorrect design. Management claimed that my payment constituted approval of the faulty mock-up, despite my repeated communications to correct it. We even offered to pay 50% of the original cost for a reorder to reach a compromise, but no agreement could be made and the shirts were returned. I will not be engaging this business again."

Many of the pieces have funny or profound sayings on them that can give you a chuckle. Some of them they even print in house. The stock ebbs and flows, which is kind of nice since you can find some things that are a little unique. There's a nice a nice little assortment of KC Pride tshirts and other clothing options that you can browse through as well.

If you're at all familiar with the recent influx of KC pride t-shirts, I'd wager that you've seen…read moreNormal Human's wares. They've been selling in boutiques around town such as The Bunker, Westside Storey and MASH Handmade. Good news! They're going big time and have opened up their own retail space on Westport Road! The corner storefront is pretty large, and right now I'd say at least 75% of the space is dedicated to production. There are a ton of windows and thus natural light, and it's a clean and airy space that is a pleasure to be in. The merchandise is rather limited but well curated, and a number of other local brands are represented. Off the top of my head I can recall seeing products from local businesses Owl + Mouse, Sandlot Goods and Vintage Edison. This is, of course in addition to a full line of Normal Human's t-shirts for man, woman and child. They're brand new, in fact I don't think they even had a sign when I visited. As they navigate from wholesale to retail, I look forward to seeing what they come up with. I highly suggest a visit to Normal Human.

Hammerpress has a super unique collection of paper goods, candles, soaps, and cards, which makes it a great location for a niche gift. They have beautiful cards for all occasions. There are tons of fancy pens and hand-painted, recycled-paper journals. I droll over all of their carefully curated candles and unique perfumes. This is not a cheap place to shop for a gift, but it's worth it! The recipient of the gift will feel so special and artsy. There is usually plenty of parking on the streets of the West Bottoms, unless it's a First Friday weekend - then expect to have to stroll a far distance, but Hammerpress is located conveniently close to some of my favorite antique shops.

I've been a fan of Hammerpress since they opened their first print shop in the Crossroads, way back…read morein the early aughts. As a college student I'd look forward to an excuse to trek to KCMO from Lawrence to shop here and pick up some local goodies. They've been doing this so long, you could probably even make an argument that they were kind of the original shop local spot here in the city. Flash forward and Hammerpress has migrated from their OG location to further down SW BLVD, and now to this new spot in the heart of the West Bottoms. It had been a while since I visited so I wasn't sure where they had moved to, but it seems fitting that they'd end up in the West Bottoms as many of the artists that once had studios in the Crossroads have migrated that direction as well, and it seems true to both their craft as printers, and their vibe as artists to be in yet another cool, up and coming, hip neighborhood. All of this being said, this new spot is by far their coolest. From the arched entryway, to the bright interior, you're going to find everything you've come to expect from Hammerpress. Beautiful art prints? Check! Locally made greeting cards? Check! other stationary and art goodies? check and check! Next time you need a card go check them out - you won't regret it!
