The stuff is very high quality. Gift shops around here have cheap looking stuff but it's expensive. It's not like that here. There's lots of handcrafted items. Get something for pretty much everyone. There's jewelry and keychains among the smaller items. It has some bigger items including clothing and other accessories. These items are especially good for women. Lots of things for them here to try on. They can find a variety of stylish purses. As for the men there's funny T-shirts and novelty items. There's also the old school stuff like postcards. It overall is a cool place for gifts. Look for some of the offbeat items. There's something for all tastes.

Absolutely in love with this gem of a store. For stationary lovers and enthusiasts, demand even…read morethose just curious, this is a haven for anything and everything stationary related. Within the deceptively large space there is an expansive selection of everything from specialty fountain pens, papers, notebooks, stickers, inks, custom journals, cards, letters, trinkets, and all sorts of other stationary related items. Not just everyday run of the mill items either, rare, hard to find, and ultra premium items as well. The kind of items that are almost never seen in brick and mortar stores, at least here in the states, stuff that typically requires either visiting multiple specialty shops or niche online stores, or frankly even importing some of it. It was just truly incredible to see the pure variety of all they had available. On top of this, the service was friendly and efficient with knowledgeable staff helping out. The space was clean, well organized, and inviting. Prices were fair too, not cheap but no crazy markups on the items available either, after all much of the items are premium goods and as such they will have similar pricing no matter where you get them. Fantastic for shopping for yourself or for gifting, I would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning myself, absolutely elated by the fact a shop like this even exists!
