There was a good selection of ornaments, so we did find one we liked. There was also a great selection of Milwaukee gear (shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, puzzles, etc.). We did strike out on gifts for our kids, as there wasn't anything age appropriate for them. Very cute, nonetheless!

And the opportunity to have your chosen plants planted in your choice of planters on the spot makes it so special, especially for someone like me who can't seem to pot a plant to save my life. The store is heavily stocked but not overwhelming; it takes a while to see it all and decide what all I wanted to get. It is a lot of fun to shop here. Park at the Public Market for the easiest way to find a spot or wait for a spot on the street. I am not sure about accessibility as it is a few steps to get in the front door. I didn't see another option but I also didn't look for one. I hope they have access somewhere but call ahead to be sure.

Great stop for cool souvenirs, ice cream, drinks, food, wine, olive oils, and the best part... cold cuts and cheese! I did not leave empty handed. As a cheese enthusiast... I could help but grab a few that made their way home to California. The cheese curds are also perfectly salty and chewy. I loved the selection of summer sausages and appreciated them sourcing locally.

I love that they offer such a diverse selection of unique items that can't be found at big box stores.

Our visit felt like a treasure hunt, and we found some perfect gifts for friends, family and for ourselves during our jaunt through the store. GoodLand has curated a fantastic collection of one-of-a-kind items. Their commitment to providing a personalized shopping experience is evident, and it makes a significant difference in the community having such a unique shopping experience at everyones fingertips.

This place is going to be on my list for shopping local for the holidays and just gift-giving, in general. At the moment, I didn't have anything specific in mind, but I did need a birthday card, so I bought a really cute one with a cupcake on it. The owner was super friendly and was there to help, if we needed it. Definitely check this place out for gifts and treats for yourself.

Speaking of Lisa Slodki, I love her designs so much that I've purchased multiple pairs of earrings for myself, four necklaces, and I bought a few necklaces for my girlfriends as birthday and Christmas gifts. I should have a punch card! They also have wonderful perfumes and oils- a few of my favorite scents include sandalwood, palo santo, coconut, and patchouli. This shop is wonderful if you'd like to get a little something for yourself or a unique gift for someone else.

They have an incredible hair clip collection as well. All the workers are super friendly without being overbearing and they are all so fashionable!

It looks small from the outside but like the Tardis it's bigger on the inside and packed full of variety of things. You'll find some really cool t-shirts here. I bought a couple for myself and if they'd had one in my nephew's size he'd have gotten one with The Fonz. They had a nice children's section with toys, clothes, and even diapers. I thought they were swim diapers at first but they are cloth ones, not swim. The kids items range from a few months old to a few years old (I bought a size 4 t-shirt for my kiddo). There are lots of gifts items here of various types, and they also have some cards which was helpful since I'm not sure I'll be able to get another one for my mom before Mother's Day. There's no parking here, but copious amounts of street parking is available so that shouldn't be an issue.

I was impressed with the drawings of colleges and stadiums available by state. I loved the framed display with a diploma and the college/university drawing on top. I think I'm going to have to get that for both my bachelors and masters degree. It looks so nice and is a unique way to commemorate one's school achievements (as a first-gen college grad my degrees mean a lot to me!) I also loved the random Hoan Bridge lamp. It may have been decoration but it looks sharp. The large collection of stickers also caught my eye. There were many Wisconsin / Milwaukee themed ones which would make for a nice souvenir (or stocking stuffer). While perusing things I noticed a lot of people stopping in just to check things out. Seemed like many out-of-towners looking for a piece of Milwaukee to bring him with them which made me happy to see. The third ward location is prime! Definitely worth a stop especially if you're already going to be downtown or checking out the public market (it's very close by).
