This gem of a store has been so clutch over the years for picking up gifts. Some of the people in my life are, um, a little hard to shop for, but when I come in here, I always come away with something great. It's all so well-curated; some gifts are classy, some funny, and many are versatile. It beats the socks off of going into a big box store in a million ways. Being in a charming stretch of a walkable area adds to its appeal, and the staff is always friendly. They also have Pickwick candles which are some of the best in town. These soy candles will last multiple seasons and almost all of them smell amazing. Cheers to this shop, they're doing it right and have saved my bacon every December since they've opened.

My one lament is selfish, and that's the fact that the antique books were, from what I understand, for display only (I collect antique books, so I always have an eye out for places to browse for them). I believe the person I met there when I went was the owner, who was extremely friendly! Plus I love that it's a locally owned store. Overall I really loved visiting and browsing. Monarch is definitely one of my go-to bookstores now!

They go out of stock fast in those mugs for good reason. They have seasonal decorations too which are super cute and the look I like for simple but modern and are excellent quality. When I use up all my candles, it will be time for my next visit to this charming place! If you're at Park Place, I suggest stopping by here and taking a look inside!

I have gone in for birthday cards, agendas, Halloween decor, you name it. They are actually expanding and going into a larger storefront very soon. This is a great business to support local. I also love looking at their website and Instagram to see what they have in stock. I wish they got a bit more decorations for Hanukkah more than a menorah but I have a hard time finding Hanukkah decorations in general. I love this place and will definitely continue to support it.

It was my first bookstore stop the week we moved. Since my first visit over a year ago, Seven Stories has quickly become a "third place" for me. I love how dedicated Seven Stories is to supporting local artists, BIPOC artists and writers, LGBTQIA+ stories, and the Shawnee community overall. Whether you are looking to browse or stay a while, it is always worth the visit. Check out their special events and book clubs, too! Seven Stories, and the community they have built, feels like home.

I picked up a fun game of 'Haikubes', a series of cubes with differing words and themes with which to build Japanese poetry. What a find! Parking is easy and browsing is easy. Definitely a vibe of a 'book store' with the space & service. Check it out!

They occasionally do "thank you gifts" that you can get a heads up about in their Newsletter (which is also so fun to see new items).
