The woman running the store was so sweet and helpful without being pushy. Even the basic wrapping with a purchase, makes it feel like something special. The store is broken up into sections with different vibes/themes of gifts. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area and looking for a unique gift.

Today I decided to join a coworker for a walk around downtown Albany. During our adventures, we…read morestumbled upon a very cute, hole-in-a-wall Thrift Shop called Vandys. Upon entry we were immediately greeted by the worker sitting behind the desk. We said our pleasantries and the fun immediately began. The shop had a nice selection of items, from men's/women's/kids clothing nick nacks to dresses for a night out. Prices ranged from $5 through $35. There was a few items that I was so tempted to buy but had to decline at the last minute. My coworker purchased several items... a few of which was brand spanking new. She was totally excited. The check out process was quick and simple. When I return, I will be the one doing the shopping. I cannot wait!

This is more than a store. As a first time mom, this is part of my support system…read more I first discovered this store because I was needing help learning about how to use some baby carriers I had received as gifts, and I was referred by friends to attend a Slingbabies meeting. The meeting was held in the classroom at the bundle store. At the meeting I met Amber, owner of the bundle store, and a Slingbabies leader. She was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about baby wearing. She gave me all the help I needed. After the meeting I poked around looking at the store. As a new mom, it was so fun just to look at everything she has there. Organic toys, clothing. Beautiful baby carriers, slings, and wraps. A cloth diapering section. Lots of items clearly handmade by independent vendors. Beautiful muslin receiving blankets. Natural remedies for diaper rash and teething, nipple creams. If I had a million dollars I'd by 3 of almost everything at this store. Now, the bundle store is all about quality, and often that means the prices are steeper, but you can tell you're getting really special stuff there! The staff is all knowledgeable about breastfeeding and baby wearing. They want to be part of a new mom's support system. The store offers classes- I took the musical baby class but there are lots to choose from, many of them focused on educating moms, but also prenatal yoga and fun stuff too. My music class was a blast! Amber, the store owner, knows everything about baby wearing and she really wants to help others learn about this awesomely helpful practice. I had a friend from out of state contact her when she needed advice about what carrier might be right for a specific need. Amber recommended a carrier that her store doesn't have in stock! She has an online store and could have easily recommended a carrier she could have sold, but she wanted to recommend what was best for my friend even if it meant she wasn't going to profit. Amber also does fittings for her nursing bras she sells there (and maternity clothes). My best nursing bra is from The Bundle Store. So in a nutshell- every mom within the capital district could benefit from a relationship with this store. Especially if you are interested in babywearing, breastfeeding, cloth diapering or using green/natural toys and remedies, you've simply got to get over there.

I liked that they offer men's clothing also and wanted to pick up a few things for my spouse . The sales person didn't greet me immediately, but after about 5 minutes she asked if I needed help. I responded I wanted to look around for a few minutes, and she replied, "the sales clothing are in the back." I spent quite some time looking around in both the front and back and she never once spoke to me again. I was the only person in the store. I found a few items to try on and not once did she come to the dressing room and ask if I needed another size or if I needed assistance. Here's what is important to me: customer service. This shop wasn't offering brands I couldn't find somewhere else. I did ask for assistance in finding a size and she did do a quick look for me. I purchased 2 items and said thank you as she handed me my receipt, her response , "OK ." Not a thank you , not one thank you for making a purchase . I intended to take my husband to look around after his appointment , however I was so disgusted with the salesperson, I refused to patronize this establishment ever again. So confused by other reviews stating great friendly salespeople , must have been written by the owner's family.

Beautiful gift baskets!…read more We recently received two Classy Baskets as gifts, and couldn't have been more pleased. The baskets are VERY generously sized and have a wonderful variety of snacks, including fresh fruit, different crackers, cheeses, pastilles, chocolates and nuts as well as adult beverages (wine the first time and champagne this time) in addition to being beautifully presented. As a bonus, the gentleman who delivered our basket today could not have been more charming. Gift baskets can be either a wonderful or a terrible idea, depending upon the quality and presentation, and these guys do a great job. After receiving these ourselves, I would be totally confident ordering from them in the future. And with the holidays coming up, I just may do that.
