They did have some stationary like cards, stickers, washi tape, journals, and more but everything was very expensive. There wasn't a large range of any of those items I mentioned, just a handful of journals, maybe five stickers, etc. The store also sold some home goods, purses, and other gift items but nothing that made me say "wow". Overall, the selection was very expensive. I felt let down by the recommendation of this store and won't be back.

Located in Old City, Omoi Goods is an exceptional shop for not only stationary supplies like inks, stamps, journals, and pens, but also beautiful greeting cards, BAGGUs, stickers!!, and more! The employees were soooooo lovely and polite when I went and I must highlight that they created their own totally free (!!) pamphlet guide to Philly!! It's truly a labor of love that includes their own suggestions on shops, restaurants, cafes, food and drinks to order, parts of town to visit, even a whole map of the city??

This location is no exception. Plungers, eco-friendly cleaners, key copies, organizing solutions...they've usually got what I need. Any time I can shop them instead of Lowe's or Home Depot, I will.

Positives: parking available (a few near the front entrance, some at adjacent stores?), white glove delivery Cons: multiple levels (kind of like a maze), white glove delivery crew was a little upset that they were bringing a mattress to our house, adequate customer service. We came to Grossman with a primary goal in mind, to buy tempur pedic mattress. Even though we recognized there are limited deals or things that the department can offer, I would have liked a little more engagement or understanding of the tempur pedic process. While my pregnant wife was slowly trying the beds, another customer rep kept on eyeing us with hurried glances because we were delaying her customer from trying out the beds. This was unnecessary. Also they forgot to give us our pillows when we were leaving. This wasn't a big deal, but it did cause some minor issues as I had to call Grossman when the mattress were available, and they forgot about it, and the delivery people also forgot to bring it with them and had to drive back.
