Upon ordering, it arrived very quickly, beautifully wrapped, and with a handwritten note offering to help me with any other kickee pants needs. Since I am not local, I've bookmarked this store on my computer. Wonderful experience and customer service - check them out online as well.

It may be because it was sunday but even though most businesses are not thriving, these old school businesses are not understanding the concept of business. It not about having a website or having cool items in your store or just the basic stuff. You need to understand what it takes to be someone like costco.

Both great But I like this side better for some reason! Maybe I see the future, maybe I see less people shopping on this side, maybe it's cause the nice staff member told me they have a changing table in the bathroom! All in all if you need some cut kids clothes, OSHKOSH b Gosh they got them here!

(They're coming up on their one year anniversary) I don't even have kids but have long said this is the type of store missing from downtown's retail roster and frequently shop here for the little kiddos in my life. SELECTION: A large assortment of baby, toddler and older children onesie's, shorts, bibs and hats compliment unique and hard-to-find toy brands, including wood toys, pillows, books and wall decor. Great gender neutral, feminist, LGBTQ and Iowa items. New items are constantly being added, including local pieces. The space is beautiful, airy and bright. SERVICE: Staff, including owner Macy Krall, are always very helpful and extremely welcoming. I don't have kids myself so it can be hard to pick smart choices. PRICING: Very affordable. I recently purchased more than half a dozen items for a friend's newborn and spent just over $120. The books and small accessories are especially extremely well-priced.

Absolutely love this novelty shop located in DT Cedar Rapids! You might get a tiny bit offended by…read moresome of the stuff here if you aren't on the left side of the political spectrum, but almost anyone can find something they like here. There's a lot of Iowa and midwest-centric stuff, plus some political stuff. Prices are fairly reasonable. Bonus, they have a small kids play area to keep the kiddos occupied while you shop!

Man oh man, I love this store! It's overwhelming in the best ways possible because of the sheer…read morevolume of stuff that they have! My head was on a swivel the entire time I was in this store and I ended up dropping $200+ on a ton of stuff! They have graphic tees, stickers, coasters, pins, EVERYTHING! And the vast majority of it is all printed and designed by them! This Iowa-based company is absolutely delightful! Everything you find here is going to be unique and wonderful and this is just the exact kind of company I love supporting! They are so bold and out here with their products and if you've got any halfway decent sense of humor, you are sure to find a ton of goodies here to appreciate and purchase! This store encapsulates the Midwesterner state of mind perfectly and I just absolutely love it! This specific Raygun store is located in the extremely quaint and cute downtown Cedar Falls area and so at the front of the store in particular, they have specific products and merch geared towards Cedar Falls especially! I believe one of their bigger stores is located within Des Moines and I will be visiting it very soon and can't wait to see what delightfully fun finds I discover here! My only request to Raygun is for some more representation of other states in the Midwest! As an Iowa-based company, I obviously see and understand the overwhelming majority of Iowa-related products, but I've also seen some Kansas and Ohio merch as well and as a Michigander, I would really love some Michigan representation too! Ope, as long as that's not too much to ask! :P

On the first day of the month, have you ever heard someone say 'White rabbit'? According to…read moresuperstition, doing so gives you good luck. Well, this Iowa City gem will also give you good luck when it comes to finding gifts for friends, loved ones or yourself. It has so many locally made trinkets and treasures. There is new and old clothing. There is jewelry, accessories, mugs, candles, bath salts, cocktail infusion kits, art, cards, stickers, ornaments, coffee and more! It has something for everyone. Don't just take my word for it. My seven year old daughter, Cora, says this is where 'she finds ALLLLL her mom's favorite gifts.' (And she's not wrong.) I popped on to online shop on Small Business Saturday. I was in luck! 20% off the entire store. Score! I went and loaded my cart with Wake Up Iowa Coffee for my husband and a coworker. (If you haven't had this locally made brew-- do yourself a favor and get a bag.) I also snagged a Practical Magic Apothecary 'Holiday Cocktail' kit. I can't wait to serve it up this holiday season -- how does a mule with hibiscus, blood orange, cinnamon, cardamom and festive spices sound?! White Rabbit ships nationally ($5 flat fee!) and has free in-store pickup for you locals out there. White Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit! No matter if it is the first of the month or not, you'll feel lucky supporting this local, women-owned biz.

This place is the bee's knees. Could shop here for hours. So many cute things - clothes,…read moreaccessories, home decor, body and self care, thrifted pieces, and even some treats for your feline fam. Also, follow them on Instagram -- they often do a story shopping - meaning they post on their story, if you want it - you message them and like magic, it is yours (of course once you pay online)! They'll ship it to you or you can opt to pick up in store! So many great finds and they are considerate to limit the number of people in store, due to Covid-19. Appreciate that!

Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite stores in all of Iowa!…read more It's a wonderful local independent Toy store, with fun for the whole family! I always loved walking by the huge stuffed animals in the windows when I lived in Ames! They have classic toys from the 50's, to modern stuff kids today would dig! Great selection of stuffed animals, books, nut crackers, games, toy cars.. you name it they got it! They also do a fantastic job of wrapping those Christmas gifts for the little special ones in your life! The store is a fantasy world of fun, for all ages and I highly recommend stoping in here if you make it to Ames ever!

Had a very good experience at kohls tonight. It was tax free weekend and I was dreading shopping…read morebecause I thought it would be mayhem. Kohls had planned and organized well. They had plenty of staff on hand. And for 8 pm at night the store displays looked nice and organized. I was offered help several times. I ended up getting all my kids school clothes. Two pairs of shoes for each kid, underwear, socks, jeans, sweatshirts, pajamas and even a disco light. I had two carts full. Was scared the girl at the register would groan with disgust at all my stuff but she was chipper and enjoyed the challenge. Another employee came over and even helped bag. Another employee went and did a sku check when a shirt was missing a tag. I spent $1100 and had a coupon and a 20% off coupon. So my total was $870. I got $170 in kohls cash to spend next time.
