Some of the items are priced higher than nearby stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby, but the quality of items here are top notch. I am a big fan of Sharpie markers and moleskin journals and they always have a great selection here in different sizes, colors and unlined or lined versions. I like to come here for unique gift items too. Check out their Artist of the Month displays and special events too. However, I will share that parking here on the weekends is getting challenging, now that the new H Mart has opened.

A-dor-a-ble. I still send cards to people so I love to stop in an independent stationery shop if I…read morehappen upon one. This shop is pretty tiny but has lots of goodies inside. You'll find some cards (there were some pretty funny ones here), notepads and paper, pens, and so on. They had a cool watercolor book by a creator who has a QR code for a free art class on the back, which I almost bought but taking up a painting hobby is just not something I have time to pursue right now. In addition to the paper goods, they have some textile stuff too. Wallets, sunglasses sleeves, tablet holders, cord keepers; you'll find that and more here. In addition to a few there things I bought a few of the cord keepers because finding loose cords around like snakes laying everywhere is annoying. The employee (proprietor?) was friendly. She was sitting at the front of the store at a typewriter when we came in, maybe composing her novel? A blast from the past for sure but old typewriters are works of art.

I really enjoy my visits and I have come to look forward to seeing their smiling faces. Given the experience here, it is very difficult for me to buy cards or small thought gifts from any other place.

Ruth's Hallmark has been here as long as I can remember. I used to romp around these parts during…read moremy teenage years and like everything else, I've come full circle. This particular location has some of the friendliest staff. I think it's a Hallmark prerequisite. You must be extra nice to work here. They make my life so much easier! I have a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to search out the perfect card or a little gift. It's fairly painless at Ruth's. Most recently, I was on my way to a birthday party. I had a gift in mind, but as usual, I was running behind. The sweet lady rang me up, helped me quickly figure out which coupon was the best to use and even helped wrap the gift while I was fumbling with my things. Such a sweetheart! This shop is very clean and well-organized. I can always find exactly what I'm looking for. And, in the rare event that I need an unusual card or a Father's Day card a week after Father's Day, Ruth's employees have been known to help dig one out for me from the storage areas. Kudos to you! And I will be back very soon!

How have I not written a review for this Homegoods yet? This is the one I frequent the most often…read moreas it has the most organized sections, always beautifully stocked and the staff are super friendly. This Homegoods is located in the Randhurst plaza. There's plenty of parking and the store is a great size. We often come shopping here with our pup and she loves how kind and friendly the staff are. Some of them even recognize her when we come back now. All in all, whether I'm looking for storage containers, or blankets, or pet supplies, Home Goods has it all.

As much as I love Home Goods, this location was rather small. And I was so disappointed that they…read moredid not have a big Halloween display. I know, it's only June, but my social media feeds have led me to believe that the Halloween season begins now! Where my Halloween ghouls and ghosties at? I saw one endcap and some random items throughout the store. I did see some cool beverage dispensers (one with a limoncello mix inside and the other one with a blueberry margarita mix inside) -- they're all set, just add alcohol. All ready to party! There are other Home Goods locations much closer to me. So I don't think I'll return to this location.

I LOVE Hobby Lobby. The store is what you would expect from Hobby Lobby, a wide variety of art and…read moreart supplies, crafts, etc. Though I never really believed that religion should have a place in business. Seems like they are trying to cash in on the overwhelming christian population in the country if you ask me. I am christian too, by the way. Nevertheless, I love this place, I come here for all my art needs. Just don't try to get a job here, as I guess this annoys them. I recently applied there, and when I went to turn it in some old ugly-faced sour woman at the register accepted it with a grunt and wouldn't even look me in the eye, much less smile at me, regardless of my polite manners. I thought this was just her, and for a moment thought "If they'll hire this troll they'll hire me for sure" and so I decided not to let it bother me. But then I called and spoke with a manager named Morgan regarding the application and was disappointed to find that she acted the same way. Very curt, very unfriendly, coldly professional. She practically hung up on me. I didn't think this is how a "good christian company" would treat people but what do I know? I felt very dismissed and wished I hadn't wasted time applying in the first place. This is a new store, it just opened up some months ago. While I love Hobby Lobby and their product line I'm kind of sad to say that it looks like they did wrong with the hiring here, as I've not met too many friendly employees, none when trying to apply for a job. Maybe all the crusty old ladies they have working here don't want a younger crowd coming in and forcing them into retirement. Yeah, I called you crusty. Go home and feed your cats.
