In depth review:
During a recent 5-hour layover on my way back to Montreal, I found myself wandering through The Frivolous Store at MSP, and it turned out to be the perfect distraction from the usual airport grind. Located in Concourse G, the store is like a playful little escape from the monotony of travel. The vibe is light-hearted, with its colorful displays and quirky assortment of items that immediately draw you in.
The selection is as eclectic as it gets--think funky socks, inflatable travel pillows, funny t-shirts, silly gadgets, and some random, offbeat snacks. It's not a place for practical travel gear or serious souvenirs, but if you're in the mood for something fun or weird, this store has you covered. I ended up picking up a silly toy just for laughs, and it was the perfect lighthearted memento to break up my long wait.
As for quality, it's hit or miss. Some things, like the travel gadgets, seem decently made, while others, like novelty snacks and t-shirts, feel a little flimsy. The prices are pretty typical for an airport--higher than you'd find elsewhere, but not outrageous.
The staff was friendly and helpful, though it wasn't the kind of shopping experience where you'll get detailed advice or anything too specialized. The store's charm lies in its ability to make you smile, not in its seriousness. read more
