I've recently been perusing their online shop and gifting friends with newborns Maryland-themed onesies and such. The selection in the shop is thoughtful and unparalleled.

If you name your store, "The Pleasure of Your Company", then I hope you're willing to put your…read moremoney where your mouth is and demonstrate just that. And perhaps train your employees to exemplify this. Instead, my experience was cold and empty. Surrounded by funny cards, cute trinkets and displays of warm colorful books, papers, ribbons and wrap, I hoped to feel as loved by the staff as I felt towards these pretty paper products. Yet as I chose a few stationary sets and slowly meandered to the cash register, I did so alone. My check out transaction was strictly business, and nothing more. And that was it. No warm fuzzy feeling, no invitation to come back soon, nothing. I certainly did not take pleasure in your company.

Although The Pleasure of Your Company (hence forth, TPYC) came highly recommended, a recent visit…read moreleft my wedding planning committee (aka Mom and me) deeply disappointed. While the store was not crowded on this weekday afternoon, we could barely scavenger any customer service. Even once a salesperson was assigned to work with us, she did not offer much in terms of insights or attentiveness. About a half hour in, our sales rep was replaced with someone else (I get it, employees gotta eat) but our momentary joy of having renewed luck at better service became a hollow, fleeting hope. The best part of this would-be shopping trip was learning that TPYC can take your idea and design around it for less than traditionally found in the big brand heavy-hitters. Definitely a nice touch but a semi-useless feature without attentive staff to help get those creative juices flowing. Shoppers come to brick-and-mortar establishments to get advice from field experts who have had much more experience in card design than your average member of the public. This we definitely did not find at TPYC and, after an hour of poking around albums, the dream team left with little to show for their efforts.

I love love love this store, however the only thing that is keeping me from giving it 5 stars is…read moreone thing, well person (i'll come back to that later). First off, I agree, this is the closest that we get to the MoMA Store in Baltimore, but there is so much more to this establishment. The Store is broken into sections... there is a clothing section... very beautiful and a little out of my price range, a home wears section that has high-end, but also extremely affordable and beautiful items that are great gifts. There are also fun art books that live next to a little children's section. The "star" of the store is our local Jewelry Celeb, Betty Cooke's section (well actually she owns the whole store) that is devoted to her spectacular pieces. Do not go to tiffany and buy something boring... something that everyone else has... come here and treat yourself or a lucky friend to a beautiful pair of earrings, or a funky ring or any of her other pieces. I feel honored to own 2 pairs of her earrings and they are 2 of my favorite pieces. Ok, so address the non-5 star rating. There is one employee who works at the store, who simply does not belong in this environment. She is judgmental, opinionated and I have even witnessed her yelling at her co-workers while I and other customers were in the store. It's funny, but if you read other reviews of the store, the same issue comes up as well... so I know I am not crazy. Besides that little blip, this is a wonderful, locally owned establishment that all should frequent!!
