A little late on this review but better let than never which would never happen because this was a…read morevery special evening, how the events unfolded, how a bad thing isn't always a bad thing. There's a spot in Brooklyn on Pitkin Ave where a few homes are extravagantly decorated for Christmas. Not in the Clark Griswald sense of extravagantly decorated, but attention to the smallest little detail, as with the lamppost on the corner within the snowy winer little town setting. There's something about figurines that enchants the inner child in me and my heart flutters as my eyes are mesmerized scanning the little street with the sled repair shop business, the bakery and the chocolatier with the rotating gears that pop out beautiful little chocolates. I love trees and lights, stockings and ornaments but the little towns people doing little pre Christmas things - in these Rockerll-esq scenes, I dare say that my Christmas would be incomplete without. So the spot in Brooklyn is no longer operational, I banged a right on Crossbay like I'd done in years past, and drove until the lights hit, but there were no lights, there was nothing. An online search revealed it (the ornamentally appointed homes) were no more, it vanished, it was all over. But you basically sat in your car and "oooohhh-ed" and "aaaahhh-ef" until done jackhole blared his horn,l. It was over crowded but a testiment to the folks that put it all together. So I typed in "Christmas" into Yelp and bang, 3 miles away was the Christmas Store. It was in an area I knew well, somehow it's eluded me as it's been in business for years, it was the old piano manufacturer. A look inside and your immediately greeted by tens of thousands of ornamental displays, this Christmas wonderland was chiming the song "down the chimney with ole St Nick" The owner and I spoke, he had great cheer and has a wonderful eye for placement. I initially commented to him on the magnificence of the garlands and floating wreaths. The shop is giant and full, old wooden boards creeking under your feet as your looking around, ho upstairs, it gets better! Big Nutcracker soldiers and Santa in his sleigh reading the little letters. Snowman, snowflakes, pinecones, silver bells and bugles. Organize organically with like creatures and like trees and I took a video of the little towns which il attempt to post now to get y'all excited about Christmas 2025. I could write on and on and I'm withholding temptation not too. Happy New Year Everyone

Everything was 50% off (though I get the feeling that it's 50% all the time, so why not just lower the prices?). Clothes were priced at $8-$15 (so really half of that $4-$7ish). Clothes were from like the 90s styles (which is too recent for retro and too old for cool). I didn't check out the upstairs mens, but I have a feeling it would have been more of the same. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the jewelry was reasonably priced ($1 bracelets) and somewhat interesting though I didn't buy anything. Lastly, the staff was unprofessional and their conversations with each other in front of customers was appalling. Let's just say save the locker room talk for the back room. Overall, the place is classless and drab. There's probably a gem if you dig through every single item, but not worth the time IMO.

The owner is very impolite. No trying is possible and there is no clear signature in this shop…read moresaying that it is not allowed. No trying idea is very bad and likely comes from a strange idea that I have time to give back a cloth if its bad. No! I come to a shop to first try and then buy if it fits well and this is very obvious in Europe but seems not to be very obvious in NYC.. Sad, and at least strange, because I will not buy any cloth without first trying it. If there is a bad law than CHANGE IT...

I love this little shop…read more Back when people weren't quite as comfortable shopping in person, I still wanted to buy local holiday gifts. So I checked out Wanderlustre's website and found a lovely pair of earrings that I thought my wife would be into. And I ordered them. Unfortunately, it turned out that I couldn't simply pick the earrings up at the Brooklyn shop; they were being shipped from the designer on the West Coast. And then wouldn't you know it, the designer messed up the address, and so the earrings would arrive too late, and I would look like the inconsiderate husband that I normally am but I really wasn't this time, I swear. Long story short, Katy went above and beyond to help me get these earrings for my wife by Christmas. So not only do they have a wonderful selection of curated gifts that my wife may or may not love (after many years, I'm still not great at being able to tell - see what I said about being an inconsiderate husband), but I love them, I love the service, and will continue to shop with Wanderlustre.

I ended up getting my mom these small gold hoops(which she loved); the quality is very good and they are priced at a fair point for what they are(not cheap but not expensive).

They had a Black Friday sale so I took advantage of a gift card that I had for over a year. I prefer to buy jewelry IRL since photos don't always represent the size accurately. I already own the Parker layering necklaces and wanted to get some cute rings to go with it. They have real solid gold costume jewelry. The costume jewelry is excellent quality. There were 3 sales clerks when I arrived and I wasn't sure exactly which one to deal with but we figured it out. I knew exactly what I wanted to see since I already researched it online. The clerk was pleasant and polite. She complimented me numerous times on my selections and how I was stacking my rings. She also made some small talk about the rest of my day. Each item was packed into individual clothed drawstring bags and presented in a paper bag with tissue paper. Nice store, nice staff, excellent product. Check this place out if you need any fine or costume jewelry that is fashionable.
