Zakka Joy is a cute localized cards and stationery shop in Beacon, NY. My party of five entered on…read morea whim browsing. I have always have an interest and predilection in stationery, pens, writing pads and all things school or office supplies. There are mini notebooks that is substantially smaller than the standard small notebook size and there are A5 size notebooks. There are many pens, mechanical pencils, mini decorative stamps and stamp ink pads, post-it notes, stickers, erasers mostly imported from Japan. I was hoping to purchase Parker medium ballpoint pen refills, but to none avail. There are stationery items of Sanrio characters Hello Kitty of erasers which I have previously purchased from Amazon.com. It reminisce of a past journey to Tokyo, Japan. There are also craft items as origami paper and Faber-Castell pens. There are many graphite pencils for drawing. There are some cook books and children's coloring books. The atmospheric environment certainty depicts a Back-To-School mood or invoke to awaken your childhood days as a student. Zakka Joy also carries plush toys. I saw a mini blue cornflower vintage CorningWare for the avid cook or collector. I actually have a vintage CorningWare blue cornflower casserole dish. There are bric-à-brac objects as mini typewriter which really serves as decoration. I did not make any purchase. These objects do not captivate my interest or attention for usage to make a purchase, but Zakka Joy does joyfully captivate me for a visitation experience to browse. It is a notable mention for a visit.

I especially like their greeting cards - there are great ones that you won't see anywhere else. In addition, their prices are okay too. This place is definitely worth a visit!

This is my kids favorite store in Beacon. They begged to go today, and of course walked out with…read morethe knee dough (they had it in stock!). The store is fun for both kids and adults. They have Knick knacks of all different kids. Souvenirs, pencils, lots of sensory toys, books, mugs, and so much more. They have items starting at literally a dollar, so any budget will do. It's super fun to just walk around and see the cool things they have on display.

Finally went and forgot to post about it but this place is a little gem selling not just brand new items at thrift/yard sale prices but they also sell food and pantry staples. How? No clue. But you can literally buy a brand new target bathing suit at clearance price and walk out with Kirkland (Costco brand) products on the other hand. Super random but I don't hate it haha. It's got end of season clothing and the essentials for at home things plus a few other random gems. Definitely worth checking out. They have great deals. Plus side is you can even try things on. The fitting room is kindaaaaaaaa sketchy but hey if you need it you need it.

Their tie dye collection is severely lacking compared to Groovy Blueberry, and their prices are the same. It's just a much smaller shop, with a head shop in the back. Kinda feels like any other run of the mill hippie/head shop, and doesn't feel like it's super authentic to New Paltz. Has some good tapestries and incense and kids toys, stuff like that. Good if you're not seriously interested in tie dye. Stars removed for the clerk spreading drama.

I have been going to the Emporium for years but it has changed. Use to be that there was music ,the…read morescent of a product they sold, and a greeting as you entered that set the mood for a relaxing shopping experience. Now the place is like a HomeGoods with so many items you don't know where to look. What is special about that? Rarely is there anyone walking around . Some of the young people at the register don't even look at the customer when paying. This week there was a 30ish woman who was friendly. Where are the owners or managers?? I miss the older folks who got into conversation with customers. The shelves are not as neat as in the past . Please get it together with a manager.

A train buddy of mine recommended this place as a good destination when taking a trip with the…read morewife. He said they had lots of trains, and other things that would appeal to the misses. He was correct on both counts. It took an hour to get here from Albany (actually, a little more because we got lost and our smart phone led us astray) and as we were arriving at lunch time we both hoped that food might have been part of their wares. Sadly, it was not. What we did find was a charming store that seemingly carried everything one could ask for if trapped in a nearby camping area. They had an eclectic selection of nature, history, cooking, an entertainment books; local candles, soaps, and jam; sewing and craft supplies; toys, puzzles, games, and other similar things; car, boat, plane, and R/C plane kits; metal soldiers and castles; chochkes and knickknacks; and they had trains. I took about 45 minutes in the store and believe I saw everything. They didn't excel in one area but had a nice selection of a little bit of everything. Their hardware section was extremely small, and I overheard someone asking for twine which they didn't have (and I thought that was odd). I was hoping to find some old fashioned candy but their sweets selection was limited. I purchased a small soap for my mother but otherwise didn't buy anything except a pastry made nearby at a bakery. But, I came for the trains and they had lots of them. Someone looking for a train set would find a good selection in various scales (N, HO, O, and G) here. Their prices were decent and considering that they were located in the middle of nowhere I think more than fair. Their selection included lots of new, modern trains (meaning, made recently) which surprised me, as well as some old, used trains. They had books, magazines, hats, whistles, and some VHS tapes that likely will be there for eternity. They had a couple of display layouts that hadn't been operated in a while, including one in Z scale which I thought was neat. Sadly, I couldn't find anything I needed. I hate going to a train store, especially one where the proprietor is actually trying to run a nice store, and not buying anything. They had some things that interested me but their prices weren't what I wanted to pay. They had some great prices on things but I didn't need or want them. So, I bought a pastry and left without a train purchase, actually feeling disappointed. It is a cute store. It won't replace the local, well stocked train stores near me but it was a fun destination place. For anyone camping nearby that needed something to keep themselves busy I can imagine this would be a little bit of paradise.
