    This was my first time at Newtown HQ after seeing their page all over my IG! There's an amazing selection of toys and knick-knacks from a wide variety of brands. I personally decided to stop by during their Sonny Angel restock. Pricing is SO fair ($10.88 tax included for a regular Sonny). That is UNHEARD of nowadays and I truly respect shops who do not partake in price gouging. It's clear that Cindy (owner) cares so much about her customers. She was so ready to answer any questions and helped customers look for certain collections. Not to mention, there was a local crochet business who was selling her crafts outside the store (we love businesses who support other businesses)! I will definitely stop by Newtown HQ again! This is the perfect local shop to find unique gifts at great prices!

    Awesome store with cute knickknacks and nostalgic items. The owner's husband is a kind man. Definitely check it out for some cute and thoughtful gifts.

    With the holidays coming up, I've now started to earnestly look for gift ideas. And as much as I love the convenience of Amazon, I've decided to try to shop local as much as possible this year. Luckily, there are several great stores in Astoria that fits this bill. Newtown HQ has been opened for almost two years (?) but this is the first time I've been inside. There are so many fun and interesting items here! The boutique itself is tiny but they really jam pack it with a variety of things. Expect to spend a bit of time looking around. I found Tokidoki bags, plushies, toys, collectibles, stationery, anime merchandise and clothing. The items here are definitely geared toward a younger (than me) and hipper demographic. Still I had a blast checking out the store. I chuckled at the cat lovers section and the various hats they had for cats. And I was tempted to buy the socks with Bob Ross' face on it. So funny and cute. In the end, I got a extra large mug shaped liked a bear. Newtown HQ is a woman owned small boutique. Let's all support stores like these this holiday!

    Truly one of my favorite places in Queens- I come here whenever I need a serotonin boost! The store has a lot of cute items that range from stationary to collectibles, and I always end up leaving with a few items. The staff is always so helpful and kind! The prices are very affordable compared to other places and they're always restocking good items + introducing new ones as well. I love that I can support a small Queens business and I'll always come back here ^_^

    Such a FUN place!! There are always new items and sections constantly being updated. They are dog friendly, my dog is obsessed with roaming around the store and loves the cuddles she gets. The prices are pretty great for the quality of the items. Lots of different items from local artists as well. The owner and workers are beyond gracious to their customers and those just browsing.

    The coolest shop in Astoria! Such a fun, colorful mix of unique collectible and giftable items. I always find something I want for myself or something that would make a great gift. A few things I've shopped here: Jewelry & hair accessories Local art prints Fuzzy socks Cute Reusable cotton pads Tote bags / back packs Lunch boxes & Utensils Sonny Angel/Smiski figurines (my nieces love these!) Not to mention, the owners and staff here are so sweet and helpful.

    Over the past year, the quality of their customer service has declined significantly. Phone…read moreinteractions are abrupt and unprofessional, and on multiple occasions calls were disconnected before my questions were addressed. The most recent interaction the women who answered the phone had a very nasty unprofessional attitude. This can be extremely dishearten if you are in crisis. It creates the impression that customers are an inconvenience rather than a priority. In addition, their selection of 12-step program literature has become extremely limited. Materials that were once consistently available are now difficult to find, which is particularly disappointing for those who depend on these resources. Overall, the level of service and support no longer reflects the standards they once maintained. Based on my recent experiences, I cannot recommend this business and would suggest looking elsewhere for more reliable assistance and access to materials.

I just wanted to browse for 5 minutes to kill time before a dinner reservation. I walk in, and immediately the girl working the register says "Just letting you know, I'm closing up now." I said "Oh, I thought you were open until 6?" And she gives me the most condescending smirk and says "You've never worked in retail before, have you?" I immediately left. For a crystal and metaphysical shop, the vibes were so terrible. What a weird thing to say to someone, let alone a customer (and for the record, I have worked multiple jobs in retail).

It was the same stuff everyone else was selling, but like less variety. However, I can say their prices were a lot lower than other shops. For example, I bought a pair of pink I Love NY pajama pants for $19.99 in size small. It was the last one. I needed a medium but they didn't have one. I ended up getting it for myself and figured I'd find a size medium in another souvenir shop. Well, I did but the same pair of PJ pants was $29.99! So I can confirm the prices at this store is cheaper (at least for PJ pants). I also ended up getting a lighter for my brother in law last minute and all the lighters by the register were just meh. I bought a lame one anyways. And then just as we left the store, they had all these other cooler lighters in the window on display. Too bad none of those were actually out on the shelves.

They change the inventory seasonally, so this time they had holiday-themed things. I bought a wine bottle ornament for an oenophile friend, a footed teacup labeled "tequila," for a friend who may or may not drink during Zoom meetings (one side of the cup is blank), and fun cocktail napkins. On previous trips I've bought a mirror that charges your phone (for my daughter), and a small lunch tote and matching wine bottle tote for a friend who loves picnics, among other things for other people. The selection is very well curated, the sales associates are pleasant, and the prices aren't terrible. It's perfect for small "hostess" gifts or gag gifts, when you don't have time to run all around town. These are mainly things that people wouldn't necessarily buy for themselves, but are wonderful gifts for others. They have soaps and candles, too.

He was happy with my excitement over the huge selection of cool one of a kind items. This is a great place for gifts for my family and friends that have everything! I'm sure I could find something to add to their clutter. In addition to the items you don't need, but want to buy anyway, they have one of a kind practical items. There's socks, umbrellas, eye glasses, shopping bags and backpacks. I'm excited about the puzzle rack. I'm coming back to get one for my daughters birthday. There's kitchen items and toys too. I couldn't stop taking photos! There's so many items I just don't find any longer. I'm happy to spread the word about this store. Don't be afraid to go inside. It's a lot more spacious than it appears from the outside! I'm highly highly recommending!
