This small shop is full of cute little tidbits and tshochkies that make for excellent gifts. There are a few bargains but much of the stuff here is higher end designs and pretty stuff. I managed to pick up a bright red cable tie thing shaped like a fish. That should make it easier for me to find my phone cable buried in my backpack!

On the main square of the riverside area of Frankfurt, this is the Gift shop of gift shops, but…read morenot cheap tourist tat. This is quirky brightly coloured interesting stocking filler gift type tat..... I actually really quite liked it for browsing. It's a mind blowing array of colour and has a vast array of things you probably don't need, but will on some level want. There is everything from moustaches for babies to owl spectacle holders to bizarre wine bottle corks. Limitless pens and note pads, ornaments and amusing gadgets. If you like this sort of thing you will love this place. For me it was all ok, there was plenty of nifty Wee things that would be quite cool to have, but nothing essential and all way over priced! Decent little shop that's worth a look if your in the area. If your from the Uk it's a bit like the gift shop chain Papyrus, but way better in terms of the number of lines it stocks.

Lots of English books, plenty of nonfiction too, and gifts and planners and things. The staff were…read morenice too! Yay!!!!

The only newsagents worth browsing in Frankfurt, you can happily spend half an hour in this place…read moretaking in all the international press and mags. The new lights are a bit too bright though and there's quite a mark-up if you actually want to buy any foreign stuff but that's the same anywhere. Check out their seconds-shop in the basement level shopping area for 3 euro English novels and art books.

It's a medium-sized gift shop largely carrying products from Käthe Wohlfahrt Weihnachtsdorf. It's…read moresort of funny to me since their huge main store/museum is located just across Marktplatz. I believe there are at least three smaller stores like this in town including this one. Perhaps it is less overwhelming to some folks to shop here rather than at the main store with abundant and numerous amount of merchandize there. This one also carries some typical tourist souvenir type items and knick-knacks which the main store doesn't. Customer service was excellent. We were assisted by a very nice and professional saleslady who helped us choose from what we were looking at. After we chose what we wanted, she went back to the storage room and brought out brand new boxed items. Then, she carefully opened each box to make sure everything was in tact inside, and we were satisfied with each one. It just happened the content was missing in one of the boxes, so she promptly replaced it with another one. If we just grabbed a box and went home, we'd never noticed the content was missing. Whew!? She took her time to make sure we had an excellent shopping experience. We appreciated that! Another saleslady who took care of us at the register was also very nice, friendly and professional. Another thing we appreciated was they spoke excellent English. I don't take it for granted even in this very touristy town in Franconia. We had an excellent shopping experience in this shop. There weren't too many customers when we visited, and we took our sweet time and didn't sense any rushed feeling. Highly recommended. If you are in Rothenberg o. d. Tauber, this one is a must visit for your shopping needs to take some memory home for posterity. I may add some prices may be on a high side, but many items are fully handcrafted and painting quality is excellent. I recommend to use a VAT (Value Added Tax--sales tax) form if you are part of US military to save $ on sales tax (19%). Currently only open on Fridays and Saturdays. Store hours will get extended once the weather gets nicer and tourist traffic picks up perhaps after Easter according to the saleslady.

This is a very decorated gift shop in the sense of cool souvenirs all over the place but not…read moreadorned in the decorative sense, well maybe just a tad. Comparing it to all the other gift shops, this one varies a little...but does include all the same figurines, flags, cups, crafted wood items and little knick-knacks for the friends and family. It's a quiet shop, not many people inside when we visited. Cool place to check out even if not interested in a gift.
