As someone who hates to move, I have to congratulate the owner on getting everything together so fast! I think this is the space that used to be "The Tub Shop" and this may be the only store on that block of Market St. that I haven't been inside. If you're looking for something crafty with a Portsmouth theme, the selection here is really good. Of course there's a lot more than that inside, and you should check it out for yourself.

I used to love going here when they first opened years ago, there was so much to look at, and how…read morecould you go wrong for $5 or less? We went a few days ago and boy has it gone down hill. The place was absolutely trashed, stuff just thrown everywhere, the employees weren't friendly at all, and it's no longer just $5 and below, I saw some stuff marked at $25, $30 and $45. Definitely won't go out of my way to go back here any time soon.

I used to love this store and would stop in once or twice a month just to look around and see what…read morekind of fun things I could find. Over the past three or four years, I've gone once a year at maximum and even then, I've regretted it every time. I stopped in yesterday and with the exception of the young lady who cashed me out, who was very friendly and pleasant, it was a terrible experience. The place was absolutely trashed- stuff piled up everywhere to the point of making it difficult to navigate aisles. The crowd was massive, which I realize isn't the fault of store employees but the mess made that even more of an issue than it already was. And lastly, for a place literally called Five Below, they sell an awful lot of stuff that costs more than $5 now. Even most of the "$5" items now cost $5.55 or $5.95. The quality has gone downhill as well, and most of the things available are cheap plastic or paper and nothing of interest. I don't see myself going back any time soon.

It's the holiday season which means that it is time to get my craft on. I was smart this year and…read moreordered things in mid season (June - July) so that I had all my ducks in a row for crafting. I can't say what one of the gifts are in case one of my friends is reading, however, I needed a specific size of keep sake bottles to make "message in a bottles." I need something that was thin and exactly 5" tall. I looked all over on-line and been to every store and I finally found this web store. I had issues ordering on-line, however, called their number and the customer service was amazing. They couldn't ship a small amount to Canada, therefore, got some other things for future crafting needs.

Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.
