I am not a teacher, but my wife is, and this is her 'go-to' store for teacher supplies…read more She sent me here last weekend to get a few things laminated, and the people working the front are were so very nice. I had to remove several staples out of some things before running them through the machine and they couldn't find a staple remover, so the manager left and magically reappeared with one that we could use! Lots of different things in here also...all nicely arranged in 'teacher' categories. I also asked someone else where I could find stopwatches, not really thinking that they would have them, but she politely guided me to the spot where they were. Great store...thanks for the years of service to Ft. Wayne!

Stoner's Funstore: No, it's not a dispensary. Let's just get that out of the way at the jump. In…read morecase you forgot: You're in Indiana, baby! Stoner's Funstore is a costume and gag gift shop. Apparently, this is THE place to rent and buy costumes in Fort Wayne. They've been operating in the city since 1949! It's also the place to buy fake poop, fake barf, fake teeth, fake mustaches, fake hair and fake Spam. (The fake Spam is actually a decoy secret safe.) They also sell lots of silly gifts, corny mugs, cringey t-shirts, ironic greeting cards, and a lot of Marvel things, for some reason. Stoner's has three rooms of "things that you didn't know you needed but can't live without," according to the delightful woman who works here. She literally said that while standing behind the counter, and I immediately and covertly wrote it down in the notes section of my phone because it was so great. This same woman convinced me to try on a dress from the costume section that looked like it had the Eye of Sauron on it and was $3, because she said, "You're so small, you could fit into this costume and wear it for real." I mean, if an older woman who works in a costume shop called Stoner's Funstore says that you're small and would look good in an Eye of Sauron dress that used to be a costume, you try on the dress. Unfortunately, the proportions were all wrong, so I had to put the dress back on the rack. The vibe at Stoner's is cool and laid back, the people who work here are friendly and helpful, and the store is centrally located in downtown Fort Wayne, with lots of parking, which is a rarity for downtown Fort Wayne. This is a good place to visit if you're looking for a silly gift or costume for Halloween, or any time, really.

Update- best customer service ever!! I could not believe how…read moreeasy they were to work with and so quick to rectify the problem. We even spoke about doing try on sizing before the group orders so we know the exact sizing. Easy fix and quick response. I highly recommend working with companies like this that care! We've used 18 Threads for our soccer team jerseys, and the sizing is completely inconsistent. The first batch we ordered came in super large, but after a year they finally fit our kids well. So this season we ordered the exact same sizes, expecting them to be the same. Instead, the new jerseys are way too tight -- the neck hole is tiny, the arms are hard to get into, and the length is so short they're practically belly shirts. What makes it worse is that when compared to the exact same size from our old jerseys, they are completely different. Youth Large should fit 12-14 and Youth XL should fit 14-16, but the new jerseys are nowhere close. Instead, Youth Large fits more like an 8-10, and Youth XL like a 10-12. Even our practice jerseys -- which normally run smaller than game day jerseys -- are still larger than these new cuts. For reference, the white photo shows a Youth XL practice jersey compared to the current game day jersey, and the green-on-green photo shows a Youth Large old game day jersey compared to the new Youth Large game day jersey. The fabric is fine, but the sizing is so unreliable that it feels like a total waste of money since our kids can't even use them.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Fancy & Staple the other day!…read moreThis is the most organized and quaint shop I've seen in a while. It's very eclectic and spacious. The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.
