The selection of cards (funny) is simply the best in the Valley!!!! The guys who run this place are nice and have a great sense of humor. Just love the place. read more

Great shop with fun items for everyone and best of all is the super friendly staff. Loads of great art and the best collection of Greeting Cards I've ever seen. read more

I have been coming here for over 35 yrs. They have the best racey, funny and unique cards. They also have great art prints and gift bags. The service was very friendly. We were greeted right when we walked in. Had a nice convo with an employee. If you are a basic Hallmark card B then stay away. They have very pretty cards also for the prim and proper. read more

Greetings is a wonderful repository of gifts and greeting cards for all occasions. It is on Palm Canyon in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. The walls are lined with cards (often risqué and hilarious!) for every imaginable event. The charming owners are knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. They know their wares and can help you find just the right cards. Prices are reasonable (good thing, because I found many items I didn't even know I needed, but had to have!). Drop in to Greetings just to browse the wares- and get a chuckle! read more

more recently my visit here was good. Great selection of cards and gifts, especially with humor.

A giant greeting card place owned by lovely men. There are so many options, literally a whole store full! I took photos of the place, somehow not realizing there are signs all over the store saying no photos. To the owners, I'm sorry, I genuinely did not see the signs, I have no idea how. But once I noticed, I no longer took photos. I only wanted to take photos to add to my review! I want the people of Yelp to check this place out! Photos sometimes help encourage people to go see a place. One more note, that this place is awesome and LGBT+ inclusive! read more

I called a few days before about this present for my grandson's wedding I needed wrapped. I spoke to Chris and he said no problem, he was the best bow maker around. So I went in and they only had two papers to choose from. No problem I chose the one I thought was best out of the two. When I came back 3 hrs later it looked like it was for Halloween. It was black ribbon with a burnt orange ribbon. I stayed calm and said that it did not look like it was weddingish, that that the black & orange looked halloween. He was getting upset with me and kept insisting it was gold. I said please don't be upset, it just doesn't work for me. How much would it cost to redo the ribbon. He said the same, another $25. I said when could I get it and he said at least a couple of hours. I said it's 4 now and you close at 6, he just looked at me. So he wanted me to pay double an pick it up the next day. I had to do everything in my power not to break down and cry. I have never been treaded so rudely in my life. I took the package to Hobby Lobby, they were so kind and helped me find some stuff to try and fix it. They were kind, he was rude and downright mean! I can't believe any owner would want someone liked him serving their customers! He said he had been working there for 14 years, maybe it's time for him to retire!!! read more

OK, so I can see this place has gotten so many negative reviews that mine will fit right in. I went in for the first time and noticed about 1,000 NO PHOTOS signs, all over the place. I think there were more of these signs than merchandise. Sullen, unfriendly employees wandered around watching customers as if we were literally intruding. My purchase was rung up by an unfriendly man, then I was coldly looked at by someone else before I quickly left. I guess I don't need to say more as there are dozens of people here with the same experience. Their merchandise was not that great, not as stylish or fun as some of the other shops, and it's impossible to enjoy oneself when you are treated with suspicion, almost as if you are just being tolerated. Never going in there again. read more

When someone says hello as you walk into a store-say hello back Or better yet, you work there, so you should say hello first and offer assistance You are shop girls, nothing more. Stop gossiping and pay attention to your customers. And if you own the store, you are in the wrong business. This is the first time I have not been met by a friendly greeting since moving to Palm Springs. Not a good look. read more

This was one of the weirdest experiences at a store I've ever had. An employee of the store seemed to be following us throughout the store. I initially thought he was trying to catch us stealing things but based on the reviews here he was just waiting for us to record before yelling at us. I can only assume he was following us since we are from a younger versus the other customer in the store. Definitely some weird employees at this store. read more

I went in the store today with a few friends. Had to take a FaceTime call right as I entered. And the minute I walked in the guy inside was was yelling, from across the store , across everyone that was in the store "no filming! No filming!" I'm sorry. Your designs are nice but no where near even remotely original. None of your stuff is. And yelling that right across the room in front of everyone as I just walked in with a bunch of my friends, completely unprepared and just answering a FaceTime call, that was rude. I will personally make it my mission that nobody I know who goes to Palm Springs ever walk never goes into this store. Again, it was f$&@ing embarrassing to have the first thing I walked into the store while answering a FaceTime call is to be yelled at because you think I'm filming your most basic unoriginal art that I have seen many times over in the other stores down the street read more

Greetings - Never go here - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Palm Springs, California

My son & I were in Palm Springs recently for the John Mayer concert, so we did some shopping. Stopped into "Greetings" to see what I could find. What a cute store, so much to look at and admire. They have lots of cute cards and fun little items you don't need but want!! I noticed several items painted by an artist by the name of Glen Hanson, I am now following him on IG. I've always been a fan of caricatures and boy is Mr. Hanson talented. His art is so cool, most of the items I liked were of pop culture like The Golden Girls, Brady Bunch, Actresses and Icons. I really wanted the Prince coaster but opted for my 2nd favorite of all time George Michael!!! I also picked up my daughter a Beatles postcard as a souvenir. This shop is really fun to visit. The customer service was great and the man that helped me was super nice! I will definitely stop by next time we are in town to spend more time & money. read more

Very fun mouthy store with tons of greeting cards, coasters, kitchen towels using "fuck" and "bitch" and sex themes. Definitely lots for the aging and gay crowd. I went around laughing out loud at everything! read more

Great selection of kitschy Palm Springs items and a helpful staff. Fun t-shirts, artwork, mugs, etc.

I am a full time resident of Palm Springs and appreciate the fact that Greetings has a great and fun selection of cards and merchandise. However every time I exit the store I tell myself "I'm done with shopping here. The staff just doesn't seem to appreciate my business." Due to the great selection of merchandise, I weaken, lessen my values and shop there again. Today was the last straw. I walked in, an employee was working in the aisle, I said Good Morning and received not even a smile. I purchased a few cards (amounting to over $60.00), went to the register, paid for my items and said to a different employee Thank you. I said Thank You THREE TIMES and this employee didn't reply with a thank you, or you're welcome or come again...nothing. That's it Greetings. Perhaps you think all your customers are tourists and you don't need to be respectful or maybe you just need to refresh yourselves on the true definition of Greeting, but you've lost me as a customer. My Business Ethics are better than yours. So all you Yelp readers, yes Greetings does have a unique selection of items....but if you expect your patronage to be appreciated, your in the wrong place. read more

This store was amazing. There is something for everyone there. They were so friendly and welcoming. If i werent flying home, i would have bought more. The staff were so helpful and went out of their way to help me ship my purchase home. They were the highlight of my palm springs shopping experience. read more

Diverse gathering of cards, books and wall art plus more. A bit irreverent, laugh provoking and retro. It's a perfect Palm Springs fit. Customer Service is excellent. If you've never been to Greetings before, plan your first encounter. There will be plenty more! read more

Unbelievable selection, great host and a total overall fun experience. Not cheap but nothing good is.

weird no photos policy, one owner very kind and friendly the other hostile and aggressive about photo policy. they must deal with this issue often. such cute stuff but my advice would be to improve confrontation with kindness and understanding versus making their customers extremely uncomfortable and not want to support their small business. read more

Cluttered, with rude septuagenarian ordering people to cover their nose and not just their mouth. Falsely accused of recording inside the store then told, no photos! It's the 21st century get over it already. It's free positive advertisement, Took my cash and credit card elsewhere and bought all my family members gifts at a shop that wasn't so uptight. Lots of negative energy inside, felt much better as soon as I left. read more

Such a weird and bad experience. My friends and I entered the store excited to shop and peruse. I understand from other reviews that no photos are allowed; I however didn't see any signage about this upon entering the store so was unaware of the rule. Upon walking in I saw something a friend of mine could be interested in so I wanted to share a photo of it to see if I should buy it. As soon as I took out my phone an employee yelled at me. I quickly said sorry, but it really ruined our experience. We felt uncomfortable and left a couple minutes later without buying anything. I totally respect that rules are rules but it seems clear from other reviewers that the no-photos rule isn't clear to everyone. I don't think it's asking too much for a courteous reminder that photos aren't allowed. I may still have purchased something if that were the case, instead they lost four customers for life. read more

I only noticed after I checked in on Yelp that the store does not allow photos of their store. So sorry "Greetings"!!! This is a gem of a store where you can find cards, stationary, books, CDs, and a lot of other other silly, whimsical and fun stuff! They had some very nice coffee table photo books of celebrities, like Audrey Hepburn (such a pretty, timeless beauty). I liked the "Bald Guy" cards, a sort of dry humor that my son would appreciate. I picked up gag gifts of Tabasco jelly beans for my son, and a Public Toilet Survival Kit for my sister who is going overseas next month for vacation. There were lots more of silly things like this in the store. The guy at the counter (not sure if he was an owner) also suggested I try the Tabasco spicy chocolate. Yep, that was a good little sweet with a little spicy bite to it. read more

Greetings - Cute, silly little items in this store, like these. My son likes spicy and my sister is going on a 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I could spend hours here! Great selection of cards, as well as brilliant works by Glen Hanson. Check out his stuff! Greetings has mugs, ceramic coasters, shirts, etc. that show off his work. But the cards! What a collection. The two men working their were very nice and made sure to point out the racks of cards that were hilarious, and definitely not for those who are kids or...hmmm, easily offended?? Great place to stock up on cards and fun gifts. read more

Delightful, eclectic, unique and colorful shop filled with wonderful products artistically coordinated through well-organized aisles. The 1960s are alive in this shop, particularly in the merchandise of Glen Hanson, an artist whose renderings of TV show characters is priceless. I particularly enjoy Hanson's rendering of Samantha from Bewitched - amazing. This shop is geared towards adults, but I did find unicorn bandaids for my nephews. There are some hilarious birthday cards made in the USA. I was attracted to the store by its front window display featuring a mug with the Brady Bunch family, captured in cartoon form. I was surprised by the amount of items in the shop, as I only expected cards. In addition to a nice supply of greeting cards, there are mugs, umbrellas, socks, bags, puzzles, art work, butterfly wall hanging, coasters (my favorite: don't do anything you don't want to explain to a nurse) and much more. Everything is organized by theme- if you're a Volkswagen enthusiast, VW miniature replicas sit on top of VW puzzles. The owner was very friendly. I hadn't noticed the "no photos" sign so apologized and confessed to taking photos for Yelp. He was understanding and supportive of this. Added bonus: this shop has an online store as well... which is good because I want to buy a few more items. Website is greetingspalmsprings.com. If you happen to be in downtown Palm Springs, I encourage you to stop in the shop. Hope you enjoy as much as I did. read more

I was searching for kitschy art and saw something I liked. I attempted to send a photo to my other half before buying something and was rudely yelled at "No photos in the store!" I was shocked and asked how am I supposed to get feedback before buying something? I was told the owner doesn't want any pictures taken inside the store. Strange rule. Lost a sale to me and I will not be back. read more

Unique place for gag gifts. They have all kinds of cards and gag gifts. They are on the pricey side. I came in specifically for the Tabasco jelly beans, but they did not have any in stock. If you're in the area it's a cool shop to check out. Also no pictures are allowed. The pictures I posted are of the items I purchased. read more

Great collection of gifts. I kept going back and buying more gifts. The masks were great and everyone loves them here in Seattle. The staff were great, I think the owner. Brought two prints that were perfectly wrapped for the journey back home. read more

All the negative reviews on here are absolutely accurate. After looking at some of their over priced cartoon mugs - I was yelled at " NO PHOTOS". Then the 2 bitter old men said to each other "Cant they read the sign at the door?" Actually. I can read. And you have the signs all over the place like you are selling some rare items from a museum. It's all overpriced copies. The store used to have very nice things. Clocks, Art work, Books and unique Christmas Cards. Now it's consumed by a few artists. Books you can't open. And the holiday cards are so generic you might as well go to the Dollar Tree and save yourself some money. Everything that can be bought online for less. I'd never take anyone here. Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce should be notified as they are leaving everyone who visits a bad impression of the people who live here. read more

My husband and I came in and bought a mug and a piece of art. Both men working were helpful and nice. I can't believe the reviews but I'm sure they don't like people touching everything. I'm actually going back for another art piece. I like this place read more

Greetings is my kind of store, loaded with art, great collection of cards for all ages, and tons of fun items. Super older hispanic clerk helped me find the right items for my wicked cousin who loves unusual and quirky gag things. Even gift wrapped my purchases at no cost. Great Marketing. Hope to return before my vacation ends. read more

Rude! The employee at the counter mocked my purchase then refused to let me pay with my card. He insisted I use the "tap" system, and proceeded to snap at me to "keep my mask on" when I had to use Face ID to open Apple Wallet to pay. read more

Read whole thing please I came here while on vacation. I didn't see a sign that said 'no photos' and was taking a pic of a cool mug, just to show one of my friends. The dude(not sure if he was the owner, or just a worker) in the rudest tone said " no photos MA'ME". I found it rude, not only because of the unnecessary aditude, but also he called me ma'me which I always thought(and still think) is like calling someone old. I get there was no photos allowed, I would have gladly not taken the photo if I had seen that, but I made a simple mistake, and the way he reacted was uneeded. Also, if you're wondering how I didn't see the sign, it's because I was coming in with my dad and aunts, so I didn't see that the door had a sign on it. read more

If you want something out of the ordinary you will find it here. The owner is very friendly and willing to assist. No photography allowed inside the store. read more

It's hard NOT to spend hours here!! Very fun, unique stuff!! The new manager is a BIG +!!! A much happier, friendlier manger now!!

Horribly rude individual running the store on Saturday evening 5/10. No hours on the signs according to yelp open until 9. We were looking and he turns the music off and I asked if they were closing and he rudely let me know they were. He was flipping off the lights before we got out of the store. I would never go back in the place and advise anyone considering doing business here to spend your money elsewhere. read more

wow. I guess it wasn't just me! You can find many fun and clever items in this overpriced shop but the terrible customer service I recvd from an angry and bitter clerk took me by surprize. He was hovering around as I looked for a few gift items. I asked a few questions about some items and was met with a condescending and snippy attitude. I was the only customer in the store. He "scolded" me for flipping thru some drawing stacked in plastic covers at the cash register because that would damage them. huh? I found a Christmas ornament I wanted to buy hanging above the T shirts but only a display piece, no others to be seen that I could buy. I pointed to the item and asked if they have more someplace else I could buy - he snapped, "$19.95"! I repeated the question and he again snapped " WELL, you need to tell me which one you want so I can get it in the back"! WTF did he think?? The one you just told me was $19.95 is the one I want! OK, now it's on. I firmly advised him I was the customer and he needs to treat me as such and be nicer. He said I need to know what I want. Again, wow. I asked if he was the owner; "I am the MGR & the one who does the ordering". I told him I would not come back and he said "that's fine, go and don't come back" and that is just what I did. After reading similar comments I see this is his m.o. Bitter and nasty people should not work in retail. Luckily for the absentee owners this store has a good location, fun things and an endless stream of tourists coming in because repeat customers are probably rare with such a jerk for an employee. read more

The very best Palm Springs gift shop/ card store! Also exceptional gift wrap and framing. I am a local & there are my go to for years. It is not unreasonable they don't allow photos which account for a few disgruntled individuals. read more

I always looked forward to coming here during our Palm Springs trips. So, I'm sad to say I won't be back after the rude customer service I received at our past visit. Very disappointing. And I do have to say, the product was lacking. Not as much to choose from as in prior years. read more

Rudest employee. Old man clerk told my sister in law to move out of the aisle so she wouldn't block customers. None anywhere near. Cranky, rude old man. Mostly junk in the store anyway. Don't waste your time unless you want to be attacked by jerks. read more

Greetings - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Has one of the best selections of cards in the desert. I have been shopping here for 6 years and I am always amazed with their products. Requesting no photos is a common practice in many stores. If that is your only criticism than you missed a opportunity to finding a unique gift or card that isn't available anywhere else. read more
