This is my FAVORITE store in Philly! This is a one stop shop for gifts for truly anyone in your life. They sell some of my favorite things (Jellycats, Sonny Angels, Sanrio, Philly sports apparel) along with puzzles, candles, jewelry, baby stuff, etc! I'm always greeted when I walk in. Prices are a bit on the higher end but expected for the things I buy there.

What a pleasant surprise this was. I stumbled upon this by happenstance as I was heading back from my future place of employment in Philly. It looked like a charming little bookshop from the outside but on the inside it wasn't that at all. It was like a wonderland of Knick knacks and cute finds and accessories and home goods. I liken it to being very similar to a Francesca's store. As I walked further into the store, I happened on some more unique and interesting finds, even an area that had spiritually related items. They had a ton of candles, really cute and pretty candles and I'm such a sucker for candles it's horrible. I had to refrain from buying one. I did settle on getting a keychain, a rose quartz stone, and a ceramic stone that had an inspirational quote engraved on it. I love stores that have things with motivational items that evoke positivity and encouragement. On my way out, I saw a wall with all of these one-of-kind greeting cards and that and made heart smile (which is what it says on the stone that I bought ^_^) Me happening upon a wall of greeting cards is like a kid in an ice cream shop. It means pure joy to me as I love greeting cards. Letter writing is a dying art that needs to be brought back and it's nice to know boutique stores like this one carry them. I'm sure if I had more time to peruse through them, I would have found some pretty great ones. Will I be back?...yes...1000%. Where some people fancy Dolce & Gabbana and Prada, I like hole-in-the-wall knick knack stores with glitter pens and carefully curated candles. They give off good energy, not that D&G doesn't, but home goods like these are a fraction of a cost and were mot made in a factory but with tender loving care by passionate artisan individuals. If you're into cute finds, definitely check it out. It's totally worth it. I know I'll be stopping by often:)

I've never had the pleasure of stopping by Open House, but I'm sure glad I now have! The store has the cutest assortment of gifts for all occasions as well as a TON of cute Philadelphia themed pieces. I'll be sure to stop by the next time I need to pick up something cute for someone that I don't know all to well, there's defs something that everyone would like in this store-- from cute pillows, jewelry, keychains, cookware, makeup cases, and so much more!

Super cute store in the Center City area! I love the selection of knick-knacks and home supplies, though everything is a bit too expensive for me. Definitely worth checking out if you are shopping in Philly.

Visited Omoi Life Goods to check out what they offered (and get a passport stamp for my Traveler's…read moreNotebook). Enjoyed that they had a variety of not just paper, journals and pens but also locally sourced items like coffee, books and stickers. The shop was pretty crowded during my visit, probably a dozen people or so in the small space. This made me happy to see so many people shopping local. Eventually, after browsing most of the store, I decided to get a coffee bean pendant for my Traveler's Notebook. I've seen this same charm online for upwards of $20. Omoi's was $18. Definitely a value there! The service was excellent. While ringing me up one of the ladies running the register grabbed the Traveler's Notebook stamp (which you have to ask for) and let me do my thing. The stamp for the Traveler's Notebook is pretty cool, it features a soft pretzel and Water Ice.

Omoi was close to where we were coming to / heading to, so I bookmarked it and we managed to stop by before they closed. It was actually really poppin when we got there, despite the fact that it was about 30 minutes to closing time. I wasn't really on the market for anything, just wanted to browse. I ended up picking up some cute notepads for a friend and some washi tape for myself. I love that they sold matchbooks here! I am an avid matchbook collector, despite not smoking a day in my life. Staff were super nice and very friendly.

I've been meaning to write a review for Hello World since fall semester. If you're in University…read moreCity, definitely stop into the store. I've had nothing but great experiences purchasing thank you gifts for colleagues and holiday gifts for hard-to-shop for relatives like my Mom, as well as a handbag, tote, and bath rug for myself. As another reviewer said, the prices are amazing -- from $20 for a pair of earrings to $500+ for a designer chair -- Hello World sells home goods, furniture, knick-knacks, and accessories. The store staff is friendly and helpful. Tucked away behind the Penn bookstore, this is a great addition to the shopping options on our campus, University City, and West Philadelphia.

The tea towel I liked very much had no label and no price tag on it, apparently was the last one in stock. The sales person refused to offer a small discount for its unkept, almost non-giftable appearance. He also did not even offer to gift wrap the many things I have purchased. When I asked for two boxes for the cups I bought, he said the boxes were only meant for clothing, even though I saw perfect sizes for the cups behind him. What kind of customer service is this? Just because the store items are cute, no curtesies are given to the customers? Ridiculous. I will not be shopping there anymore.

We attended a wedding at this very cool, funky space, chock full of random objets d'art, antiques…read moreand other breakables. I'm shocked the owners and insurers allow guests to mingle with these items during events, particularly since I thought of absconding with a sculpture or accent piece quite a number of times during the wedding, and I'm sure others did, too. The acoustics were actually not too bad, despite all the carpets, wall hangings and sound-absorbing decor. They may or may not have a dedicated caterer for events, here; whoever provided the food for the wedding did a phenomenal job, especially with candy-sweet seasonal beets and tomatoes, a curry of shrimp and okra, and a wide selection of perfectly made / maintained hors d'oeuvres.* Bar-tending and serving staff were really nice, excellent at doing their assigned jobs. Not sure if they were employees / contractors of Material Culture or the caterer, but they were great! The one and only downside from a guest's perspective: Are there really only one pair of bathrooms for the entire venue, which must be rented out for something like 200 guests per event? It's possible there were more, but we didn't personally find them. If you have very old guests and very young ones, that's kind of nuckin' futs. ---- * OK, curiosity got the better of me and I looked it up. Food is by Chef Aliza Green, evidently a James Beard award winner: - https://materialculture.com/cafe-news/chef-aliza-green/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliza_Green If Chef Green's wedding / large format banquet food is this good, I can't wait to see what her more personalized dining is like. This is a chef I would go out of my way for.

We stopped here to look at antique furniture as we're currently seeking a kitchen hutch. The…read morecollection here is eclectic, but it seems to offer pieces that I took for near Eastern, far Eastern, and Mediterranean. In addition to furniture like cabinets, benches, chairs, and tables, one can find rugs, lights/lanterns, books, statues, busts, and other odds and ends. The space is quite large, and the selection varied. Kudos to the curator as one can spend quite a bit of time combing through all of the many treasures. Pieces can trend toward the more expensive side; however, deals are to be found, and while we were there, there was a 30% off sale. The staff are friendly, and my transaction is quick and efficient. While on site, I purchased several wine bottle snuggies that were styled after Chinese-style clothing. They were $3.50 each--a bargain. They'll come in handy when I take wine or other such bottles to social gatherings in the future. Overall, a great experience. Amex is accepted here.
