Couldn't find socks in my size, after checking 2 places, the guy helping me found the right pair. I was in and out in 10 minutes with exactly what I came for. Was a really impressive TJ Maxx.

Until about a month ago I never knew this store existed. It's been in Ely for a little while now. I…read morestopped in here with some coworkers on a Friday afternoon. Really to just browse, but I did leave with a few Christmas gifts. Very nice boutique. Well-curated with fun things from clothing and accessories to cute hostess gifts, some home decor and kitchen items. Unique things like the cactus shaped earrings and IPA beer scented soap I picked up. Prices are moderate; not any more or less than you might see at a mall. Recommend if you're in the area!

Very neat little boutique in the heart of Ely which opened in May 2016…read more On a moonlight bike ride from Cedar Rapids we noticed the lights were on in this little shop across the street from the local bar. The gentleman owner was keeping the store open after hours when he saw the large group of bike riders milling about at Odie's. Well, that garnered him at least two sales. Many small stores in small towns such as Ely look the part of someone just trying to follow their dream, with little preparation and know-how, but this shop is different. It is well decorated, with careful thought as to how merchandise should be displayed. It is not a bare bones, quickly thrown together place, ala those that are just open for the Christmas season. You know the type. They have a nice selection of clothes geared to Hawkeye fans, Cyclone fans, and bike riders as well. The clothes for cyclists are not biking clothes, rather normal shirts, etc with a cycling motif. They also had merchandise very suitable for baby showers. We made a return trip two days later to pick up a U of I jacket that my wife liked, and the woman on duty was very nice. All in all, a very nice addition to Ely.

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

This review is for darling online selection and service…read more I love bamboo Kickee Pants for baby (especially classic or loose fit which is hard to find since they converted to fitted/snug onesies) and Peek-a-Boo had a rare find online. 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.
