The store is fine but I can do without the woman that handled my purchase. We were paying with a…read morecredit card and she asked if we wanted to pay in our own currency or euros. My husband lost his mind and asked which is better for us. You always pay in the currency of the country you are in and let your bank do the conversion. She told him "oh in your own currency" - this was just another example of people hating tourists and trying to stick it to us.

Buyer Beware! We loved the store until all the stuff we bought started falling apart. They honor…read morenothing and don't respond to emails and don' answer calls. Items from street vendors are better quality! They either swapped items with broken or broke them wrapping, then refused to honor. Waste of time and money and they overcharge for everyrhing.

Idee is the biggest craft store I've found since being here in Stuttgart Germany and surrounding…read morecities in nearly 2 years... it's similar to Hobby Lobby, A.C. Moore and Michaels in the USA minus the home deco extravagance that Hobby Lobby boast and the crafting machines you can purchase for different crafts. The store does have deco like framing but not variety and flowers and jars and paints and materials and jewelry making and scrapbooking and so on. I'll definitely be going back to this craft store. This craft store along w/ The P Cookery in Ludwigsburg Is my favs. There's one more that's in Esslingen in the shopping area of stores where they have there yearly Medieval Christmas Market. The name I do not no. It's a nice size store w/ great crafting finds as well. I do know its worth a visit. I'll be going back soon. Once I get the name I'll be reposting it. I promise.

I sort of fell in love with this place…read more Yeah, it's expensive for certain things, especially rubber stamps and inkpads - but the staff that helped me were really friendly; the guy who explained about calligraphy pen nibs actually brought over a book they sold there to show me what was what (mentioning how one needed practice, and of course a book - good salesman ; ) ) . So yeah. I had a really good time, and if I ever find a job in Germany or win the lottery or discover a big pile of money on the side of the road, I'm spending my first paycheck/all the money here. Well? What're you waiting for? Go!!

The Kathe Wohlfahrt operates a shop every year at the Stuttgarter Weihnachtsmarkt (as well as many…read moreother Christmas Markets throughout Germany.) The shop is located in Schillerplatz near Kunst Museum Stuttgart. The German ornaments, nutcrackers, smokers, and other beautiful holiday decorations are some of the best quality that you will find anywhere. The authentic hand-made pieces are pricey. For many years this shop has had single narrow pathway that winds from the entrance to the register and the exit. Every year the shop gets very crowded, the line moves slowly, and the employees get very grumpy. Perhaps one year they will open a larger shop, change the floor concept, or improve the traffic pattern so that it is easier to shop. www.wohlfahrt.com and www.bestofchristmas.com Instagram.com/kaethe_wohlfahrt

Many expensive shops and cute eateries since this is where the MyZeil mall is located. MyZeil is where you either shop when you have no end to cash or where you solely window shop- I did the latter! A statue of the Frankfurt famed write, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, is also located here. Impressive statue with steps for sitting and feeding the birds. Cute paved park for enjoying the day and people watching. You will not be bored in this area of town with shopping, walking, eating or just soaking up the sun. Be sure to secure your belongings, though. We did see people trying to pickpocket, so always be aware of your surroundings. Sad, but true, nonetheless. Enjoy!

Who ever is in charge of managing this store, doesn't deserve their job. Disgusting mess.
