The price point is a third of the going rate but I have to add shipping and ILL tax. I should still come out even or ahead. Ships tomorrow. So far , I delighted. Update: Shipping to Hawaii is a issue. The smallest box is the 14.50 flat rate. Too bad, can't touch dat.

Terrible experience with ordering gift certificates online. They charged me but nothing ever came…read more Spent at least 10 emails back and forth, and they were very unhelpful. They offered me a refund than took back the order. Somehow kept insisting that I get one 50$ gift certificate instead of the two 25$ ones I ordered. All useless now, as Christmas is long over and I had to find other gifts. Told them I'd give them a bad review on yelp and bbb and no response. Beware ordering from this place. Surprised they're still open with this level of customer service!

i had been here as a kid several times, decades ago. Seemed like a good store…read more i went in again at the height of COVID, and no employees bothered wearing a mask. i even asked about that and only got a shrug. okay, so they can have their MAGA like views, as undefensible as they are from a public health POV. But i cant think of a more obvious "screw you" and self-centered attitude, which advertised that their ignorance or arrogance outweighed customer safety or comfort. They made their political statement, so whoopie! for them. I wont support that crappy attitude toward customers (most arent in the Cult).

I also…read morealways find the most amazing gifts here, everything from unique coloring books and cards and journals to jokey office supplies and tchotchkes (I bought a harmonica and mini-sewing kit on my last visit...). Of course the main event here are the art supplies--you'll find many options for every kind of medium, and for every price range, from beginner (or just-putzing-around) to professional grade. On my most recent visit, I was interested in two sets of watercolors and was glad I asked an associate about their prices...because one was around $10 and the other $45. Same thing with a cool set of dual markers/pens I almost bought...I had not looked at the price correctly and the associate pointed it was $161. She kindly found another set for me for less than $10 (which was all I needed). Art things are expensive in general but you can definitely find some good deals here, especially during their sales. The staff here are all very cheerful, helpful and friendly...my favorite store in Iowa City whenever I visit the area.
