This location just opened a little over two weeks ago. Everything is brand new. The multiple self…read morecheck out stations work great. There are multiple employees drifting around helping customers. Great and friendly service. Five Below is the very best store anywhere to buy charging cables for cell phones and tablets. They cost $5.95 for a 10 ft cable and $5.55 for a five foot cable. Six foot cables are available as well. Depending on the location, some of their stores honor replacing non working cables free of charge. Regardless, their cables are good quality and last a long time with reasonable care. I buy my cables here exclusively. They also have a great candy section with items not commonly stocked elsewhere. A lot of retro candy as well. Other areas they stock good inventory for are fashion accessories, pets, gifts, and toys. Parking is plentiful in the giant lot for this sprawling shopping center.

My daughter and I had an employee that was obviously following us around the store the entire time…read more I felt like I was being stalked. I've never stolen anything in my whole life, and I had $500 on me with no need to steal. This woman conveniently had to "move around" small items on every aisle we went down, and then after I paid and went to put my cart back, she ran to the door and was staring at us and trying to rubberneck at my receipt and in my bags. Trust me, there were some sketchy looking people in there, but we were not the ones who were it. I would rather drive to another city than ever go back here just because of her ruining our experience. My daughter saved up her allowance to go by "preppy stuff," and we felt like we were criminals.

I had a great experience shopping at The Giggling Gator Repeat Boutique. I was in town from…read moreCalifornia and needed an exersaucer for my baby while in town visiting family. My Aunt sent me to Jan at Giggling Gator and I found what I needed and more! Great selection and pricing. I found great baby gear for my little one and clothes for my toddler girl and gifts for her older boy cousins. Jan was very helpful and knows her inventory well. She even helped me figure out how to get the exersaucer home! Awesome. Wish I had a kids consignment like this near me in California.

Tuesday Morning

Who would have imagined that I would be a fan of this store?…read more I remember my mom bringing me to these stores when I was a little kid. I don't remember much other than it was lots of junk that I had no use for. These days the store is a bargain hunter's dream. I was able to come to this store and do most of my Christmas shopping. I bought gifts for kids ranging from infant to eight, gifts for adults and a couple of home decor items. Despite the large quantity of items, my bill was very reasonable. Here are some of the items you should come for: Stuffed animals - Webkins for $2 Kid toys - $20 for items that are $40-50 at other stores Small electronics - If you have an older Iphone, they had a boatload of accessories. Furniture - Desks and small couches Home decor - Expensive looking mirrors and other decorative items. The store was packed, but the lines to pay moved smoothly. I can't believe it took me this long to go back. If you're looking for a deal, check out Tuesday Morning.

I'm a fan of Tuesday Mornings in general and so since I'm currently on the hunt for a lamp that I…read moreactually like that doesn't cost a million dollars, I thought I'd stop by this location yesterday. The parking lot is a bit tricky to get in and out of. And parking is at a premium in this small shopping strip. I was a little surprised that in upscale Mandeville this shop is looking a little tired, even more so than my usual location on Airline. But they did have lamps galore...the only one that really tempted me was a robin's egg blue lamp and the brand? From the Olsen twins! How crazy is that? Ultimately I realized the base was a bit too large for what I want. Tuesday Morning where you go to learn that the girls from full house have a housewares collection.

Cute boots at Tuesday morning! Hurry!

As a Funko pop collector, this was very disappointing to see that they changed the Disney display.

All the little things that made me want to drive out to this place are dead and gone. Shelving for old X-Box, PS, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, and Intellivision games? Gone. Replaced by row upon row of soulless Funko Pops. Boardgame section? Hardly any used and all new... and no real reason to buy there as opposed to Amazon or other online BG retailer. RPG section? No more 1e D&D modules or older materials, or anything else for that matter. Just the same old 5e crap, with Critical Role mixed in, with video game guides slowly spreading into the section like a cancer. The only good thing was not in the store, but in the parking lot, where they had a car show going on. The place turned from nerd-vana into just another BAM! bookstore (the owners of 2nd & Charles). Won't be back.

French Market

So many things to eat, see, and buy!…read more My friends and I walked over here as it was on our list of things to do but we were so amazed at how many food options there are as well as things to buy. The end we came in from started with food and there are beignets, oysters, boils, crawfish, and a whole bunch of other options. There is something for everyone to eat here. The other section had a lot of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, and artwork. I bought a couple of cute dresses and my friends and I all bought some artwork to bring home. It's a great place to get your souvenir shopping done as there are some unique pieces here!

The French Market is one of those main stages of New Orleans culture. It's one of those…read moreestablishments that has been around forever. From the moment you walk into this space, what you are confronted with is tons of all kinds of great and unique everything. Much of it is not only sold by local artisans, but made by them, as well. French market is predominantly an open air location. What you will find here are small shops that each offer a very unique collection of items that are very specific to their own shop. The items that are sold here span the gambit from jewelry, to artworks, to ethnic pieces that represent the culture from where the shop owner comes from. There is really a lot of everything at the French Market. Meaning, this is a great place to get that really unique gift that you wanna get for that special someone or to find that unique piece of whatever that you will personally use. As there are numerous shops here, each business provides a unique buying experience. Each one represents what they offer, and do it from their own perspective. From this, you'll find some shop merchants that are super friendly, very cordial, and more than willing to make deals with you. Others, not so much. But, that's what makes this location truly interesting. All the personalities that make up this shopping establishment. More than simply a place to shop for gifts, artworks, souvenirs, and the like, French Market also offers some great food stalls. So, if you need a snack, drink, or even a full meal, you can find it here. As this is open air, in the summer, it can get kinda hot inside this establishment. This is not bad or good, this is just something to keep in mind. This is the same during the winter months. You can't get kind of cold in there. But, at least from my perspective, that's a little bit easier to deal with. You just have to wear a jacket. Overall, this is one of the main stays of NOLA. It's truly a must see location. And, for people who know the city well, this is a place to go to when you want to find that truly unique item. Truly, you never know what you'll find.

Not like any other children's clothing stores because the selection of clothes for boys is just as big as the girls selection. They have dressier clothes, play clothes, bathing suits, shoes, socks, mix and match outfits. The cool thing about their line is that you can buy one paid of shorts and 3-4 shirts that match easily. The best part about their line is they don't fade and the graphics don't come off between washes. I have a son and he is pretty destructive at times but wash after wash the clothes still hold their color and the graphics are still intact. Which is important to me because they go through a ton of washes. They always have the cutest pjs sets and offer tons of coupons if you sign up on the website or in store. Nothing is ever full price. Even if it was it would still be an excellent value.
