Going into a Hallmark Store is dangerous for me because I will buy more than I need. This Hallmark…read moreis large and spacious with lots of cards, novelty items, party items, home decor and a few tee shorts. I was greeted when I came in. I needed a couple cards and was able to find what I wanted easily except for the distraction of the great cheese boards. Fortunately the boards were cost prohibitive, so I just walked away with cards. Parking is plentiful and easy.

The store looked so bright and cheery with all the displays set up for Mother's Day and Spring. I used my Hallmark Crown club coupons and ended up getting three cards for about $3 total. That's a great deal - if you've shopped for cards recently; then you know they are expensive. They will be closed soon for a short time while the exterior renovations get completed. It's perhaps best to call to verify they are open.

I debated going in here but decided it may have some items I was looking for. The staff was super…read morehelpful in finding a gift for my daughter. The visit was great until checkout when I was asked if I wanted to donate to the ACLU. I politely said, "no thank you." I was then asked, "not even a dollar?" And I said, "no thank you." I was then asked if I knew what the aclu was. I answered briefly to which I was then informed of what they do and what they stand for and fight for. I then politely declined one more time. Listen, I understand that businesses sponsor donations to various organizations and as a business owner, I am passionate about what I do. But continuing to pressure a customer despite her repeated "no thank you" and confronting her on what is deemed ignorance is not professional. I was then asked if I donate anywhere and when I said I support students in Uganda, he FURTHER asked me if I support anything local like the ACLU. No, I didn't want to donate to the ACLU. I wanted to buy a gift. I bought the gift and left, but debated for the next thirty minutes on whether or not I should return it. I chose to chalk it up to passion but definitely won't return.

I generally agree with the other review that this longtime mall regular was one of my favorites…read morewhen I was a teenager. Back in the 70's, this was THE place to go for blacklights and posters. This particular store is larger than it looks from the entrance. They have a wide variety of t-shirts, costumes, and lots of novelty items, including seasonal clothing. There are lots of raunchy items that I don't find as humorous as when I was a teen, but I don't think this was ever a place that was intended for senior citizens. Or at least ones that grew up!

I visited with my youngest child, who appreciates cute things. As soon as we approached the storefront, he said, "Whoa. The lighting." He's right: Miniso is lit very brightly! It's like it's own little special place in Castleton Square Mall. Miniso is the place to find adorable plushies, clothings and shoes with characters on them, makeup and beauty products for tweens and teens, keychains that look like cats dressed up as burgers, Japanese snacks, and many other fun gifts. The store is just fun-fun-fun to a power of 10. The Japanese snacks are limited, but what they did have was interesting and unusual. My child wanted a container of rolled cup-style Doritos, which tasted like normal nacho cheese Doritos, but were shaped like crunchy Cheetos. And they were in a cup. So novel! But this is the place to find novel things like this: things you don't need but when you see them, you suddenly want them very badly.

There's a surprising amount of clothing at BoxLunch. I guess I shouldn't say "surprising," because I really had no expectations of what this store would be before stepping inside. But there's a lotta shirts and other clothing here. Also, mini backpacks! Are mini backpacks a thing again? I guess they are, if I should believe the wall of mini backpacks at BoxLunch. It used to be difficult to find Japanese candy and snacks around Indianapolis, but this store is just one of at least two stores at Castleton Square Mall where you can get Japanese goodies. Times are a-changing, and for the better, especially if it means more places to buy shrimp chips and green tea Kit Kat. BoxLunch is packed with lots of fun stuff, but it's all organized neatly, and the person who worked there when I visited was friendly and helpful.

For some reason my kids enjoy shopping at this store. Honestly, i'm not sure why they do. The staff…read moreis awful and the products are all overpriced (and that's coming from someone who doesn't normally care about that stuff).

This is a great store especially if you're shopping for children. And I'm not talking about things…read moreyou only buy for kids. For instance my primary reason for shopping here are for Apple devices charging cables. These are things kid easily break by misuse. Five Below's cables are of decent quality that last many months for me, even a year, yet low in cost that I don't mind buying more when my grandchildren break them after weeks of use. Headphones are another quality item here that kids can damage the wires to the point they look ok but they stop working. Five Below has a wide variety of headphone styles. The granddaughter loves them especially anything with unicorns or cat ears. So this year for Christmas I found some other items they loved. Posters, magnets, LED lights, LED hand soap dispenser (yeah really) and more. There was the longest line I've ever seen there (the week before Christmas) but Five Below stepped up and had 4 cashiers (the norm is one) and checking out went fast.

Hey Friends! So,…read moreyesterday I got some long overdue time to myself and decided to venture out into the world to check out what was new and different. Being naturally curious with a need to save money on some basic necessities as many of us do these days, I ended up at a brand new discount store called $5 Below in Plainfield, Indiana. In my opinion the name implies that all their merchandise is $5 or less. Or I guess one could even assume that the name may simply be suggesting that their prices are $5 less the the price of their competition. I try to be practical so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. They sell the same types of things you would normally find at at almost any ' five and dime' including, seasonal items, toys, make up and beauty, arts and crafts, house and home, cleaning supplies, candy, t-shirts, you get the idea. After doing the initial browsing lap I was excited to see they even had sage, incense and burners, AND quite the selection I might add. AND THEN I SAW WHAT THEY WANTED. Basically EVERYTHING was $5! For example, the incense burners, the kind you can pick up for a buck or two someplace else, $5. The Clorox Spray Cleaner that I KNOW they sell just a couple doors down at a similar store that it probably wouldn't be very nice to mention, the price for the same brand and size of cleaner for just over a dollar? $5. The beauty blending sponges were another disappointment. It didn't' matter if you bought the assorted variety, or opted for the single version they were both each $5. I gotta tell you, it kind of Chaps my ass that the people in charge think the typical consumer is not intelligent enough to 'comparison shop'. It's like their factoring in for inflation to pad their bottom line while deceiving the paying consumer into believing that we're getting such a good deal because it is a discount store after all, that we'll just throw that money down, which when you think about it this logic isn't fair. Most of us are shopping at discount stores because we can no longer afford not to. Hey dudes, we KNOW what we are used to paying for what we buy. Never underestimate the intelligence of your consumer, it's just bad business and a recipe for failure once we're onto you. Which now a LOT of us ARE! In my personal opinion this is NOT my idea of 'smart saving'. But you be the judge and please let me know if you feel the same way, or put me in check if you disagree. I'd love to know your thoughts. I'm NOT TELLING YOU NOT TO SHOP HERE. Only go with the power of the information of being a well informed customer. Until next time, Fea B.

I was looking for an area rug. I looked in the big box home improvement store across the highway…read morebut they did not have the size I wanted nor a pattern that was "radical" enough for my granddaughter's twelfth birthday plus their minimum price was $179 for a 5 ft by 7 ft. Then I remembered Ollies had a ton of rugs in the back of their store. When I finally laid my eyes on them, I was shocked how low the prices were. I did find the size I was looking for but then I discovered a wild pattern that I thought would be radical enough for the 12 yr old. Sure enough she loves it. It was a 6ft by 8 ft for $29.99, Wow! Even though it was bigger than I needed, I figured out how to make it work. They do have a rewards program but I'm not enrolled because I don't shop here very often. The cashier says it offers 15% off but I don't know if that's for signing up or every day.

Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of that. They have a great variety of just about anything you're needing ...clothes, area rugs, foods, lawn care, appliances, toys, you name it. If you can find what you're looking for, grab it. Chances are you can't beat the price!
