This is the store for t-shirts, mugs, knick knacks, snacks, postcards, and more Boise, ID memorabilia. On Saturday afternoon, a kind gal was at the counter and she showed me the ladies sizes on the floor. In the front wall, there are many samples of numbered t-shirts. Behind her at the counter cubbies, there shirts in several colors available to be pressed with the design of your choice. We chose two womens designs and one men's designs and these were pressed right in front of us. Aside from shirts, we got other goodies as well. I've already written out and mailed most of the postcards we purchased and added things to my little scrapbook. Nice store to visit and shop for Boise, ID stuff!

Custom t-shirts seem to be their specialty-they have a few shirts on display and you can request a specific size or color and they can whip it up for you onsite. It's a small store, but packs a pretty decent punch with their Idaho and potato centric novelty items. If you're in town and need something to take home to the family, Taters is worth a visit.

They have jewelry, baby items, cards that were hilarious and love the personal touch he's and how real the cards are. They have some cool stuff for Men if you wanna gift something. Their jewelry selection is very minimalistic and simple yet elegant from different vendors. We ended up getting the cutest Toy for our dog that's a shape of Idaho holding a cute little potato and a few stickers for our truck. You need to check this store out in Downtown area if you are looking to pick up some gifts for friends or family the quality of the items is def great and not cheap. When we checked out the girls up front were very friendly and helpful.

You can not not come out of this store empty handed. There are just too many goodies here. We came here after brunch today. Coming up to the store, they had a couple racks of beautiful succulents on display. I would have loved to purchase all of them but as simple it is to keeping succulents alive, I have a special talent for killing them. Walking into the store, you are immediately overwhelmed with all the little things everywhere! You don't even know where to being to look at but eventually you'll either go left or right. We made our way through this fun store. Mixed Greens is a big novelty store for adults! The store is filled with everything you can think of. I loved looking at nick nacks. Everything was just so prettily placed and delicately staged. From cooking utensils to hand held fishing grips to gemstones, it was hard not to touch everything. You can literally spend hours in this store and still miss something. We snagged a couple things for my mother in law for mother's day. It's nice knowing that her gifts didn't come from your everyday store. If you're looking for a unique gift or a treat for yourself, Mixed Greens is your go to joint to hit up. There's something for everyone in this store and it's great.

Opened October 2019 this little local convenience market featuring local producers is getting…read morebetter all the time, including more selection in freezer case of local rancher / farmer animal proteins from top quality, pasture raised and sustainable husbandry producers like Malheur River and McIntyre Family. Although this is 30 minutes from our front door, it is our go to when we're looking for pastured pork or poultry products. (We don't eat beef but they have that too.) If they had a good selection of local lamb cuts it would be golden for us - our favorite protein - but it is a harder sell for them so they carry less. (Americans consume on average only 1 pound of lamb / person / year. And about 97 pounds of chicken per person annually. Both are shocking numbers.) We purchased bone-in pork shoulder from Malheur which I boned and cut up for Asado de Bodas (aka Mexican wedding stew, I think, sort of mole meets asado de puerco) cutting off the beautiful fresh fat cap to render down for sauteing the veg, and using the bone to make a pork broth to freeze for pozole sometime in the future. And if you like to cook Italian food, Malheur made jowl bacon (otherwise known in Italy as guanciale) this winter which was sold here and is THE perfect thing for carbonara and Amatriciana sauces. My Brooklyn born hubby is Italian heritage and grew up with an Italian speaking nonna in the kitchen so we have used a lot of guanciale - not in Boise though where it is hard to find - and this is the best we have ever used. Still not carrying much fresh market produce but they have added Acme Bread to the line up and on Saturdays I think Acme rotates in a special kind of loaf. From time to time they have had "meet the maker" tastings on Saturdays for some of the vendors they carry. And here's a tip you'll thank me for - if they have local Morning Star Acres jam on the shelf, buy it. Especially the huckleberry! SERVICE: The owner is on site almost all the time, very friendly, very responsive to FB messaging if you have questions about something in stock and always able to help by phone too before making a trip if you're looking for something specific. SET UP: Small but with a good expanse of windows it is light and bright and well organized with refrigerator / freezer case along one wall, larder / pantry shelving next to that with food products for sale and other items - like local artists and crafters goods for sale- also placed around the store. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking correctly designed for van access striping on the passenger side adjacent to building. Small ramp up to sidewalk. All on one floor. Ample floor clearance. The loo fails ADA and Idaho code compliance with counters and towel dispenser too high. The eat in counter has only high stool level seating so inaccessible. The ADA is 30 years old in July and it is past time to get this right everywhere for equal access. (Yep. I have a dog in this hunt since I have had MS since college.) LOCATION: In the Bench neighborhood right across from Idaho Youth Ranch thrift shop and just next door to a Vincent St. Paul sales store. PARKING: Private lot has about 15 parking spaces.

As a lovely parting gift, my cousin bought me a Boise High Life T-shirt there.

Of course he told me they had Hello Kityu goodies in the store. Even though they weren't quite open yet, Mike invited me in to check out the store! What a neat venue! It was almost overwhelming trying to look at everything! They have so much to look from Harry Potter, Marvel, socks to stickers. I made my way to the Hello Kitty area. They have a sorts of Sanrio goodies. Crystal also showed me other Hello Kitty goodies that they had. She was so sweet! I appreciate her taking the time to show me other products they had! This store is legit the coolest in town. In addition to them being so dope, they also have the best people working there! If you're looking for a cool spot to buy pop culture products.

The rest of the year, you can order from their website. This year, the Handmade Idaho pop-up is at Boise Town Square Mall, located on the ground floor level, between Banana Republic and Lolli-Pop. It will be there through December 26. On 12/15/21, KM and I went to check out it out. KM left with a large bag full of gifts for friends and family. I got a ceramic Squirrel piggy bank from one of my favorite local artists. We went as part of a Yelp Elite Experience that included a Hot Chocolate Bar, 20% off of an item and a swag bag. But if we had known this store was in the mall, that would've been enticement enough.
