What an absolutely wonderful addition to the Hertel Ave shopping scene…read more This charming gift shop is chocked full of all kinds of things that you just can't stop say " ohhh look at that" or " oh my gosh how adorable is that?" or " what a great idea that is!" This is a new women owned business and not just Jessica the women but Stella the dog (when her schedule allows) opened to enhance our community. What can I get there you ask? Well you can get a baby soft robe or a bag of malted milk peanut butter balls. Maybe a set of baby animal finger puppets or a dog blanket and toy Christmas gift set. How about a Buffalo sweatshirt or some fluffy slippers. Maybe some thermal tumblers or a s'mores Christmas tree ornament. Of course I simply couldn't resist getting a couple of things...... and I'm very certain you will have a very hard time resisting something calling your name too. I'm so excited to see what Jessica and Stella will be filling the store with after the holidays. I think this is definitely one of those stores that will have just the perfect gift that you aren't going to see everywhere. Oh and don't forget " one for you and one for me, two for me and one for you...." Shopping is a challenge with all these adorable choices!!

I enjoyed looking in all the nooks and crannies and making sure I didn't miss anything. The owner, Jen, is very friendly and welcoming and told me her name as soon as I walked in and conveyed that if there was anything I needed, to not hesitate to let her know. Also, Stella, is a dog. She greeted me when I walked in and I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time I was moving around the shop because she was so adorable and had bells around her collar. I purchased a llama ornament for myself, and a coaster with a snarky saying on it for my mom. Visit this shop ASAP because you will fall in love with the setting, the owner, and the dog, Stella. I can't wait to see how the store is decorated past Christmas. Right now, there are two stunning Christmas trees and it looks like a winter wonderland.

It may be just because we are in the midst of Mafia season that it seems like half the store is chock full of Bills merch. For all the fans, it is a well stocked gift giving haven. And for the rest of us, there's plenty else to see. There's local snacks, novelties and teeny tiny duckies to brighten your day. I got greeted by two associates, so you know that hometown hospitality is their thing. They've recently expanded so that there's some much needed elbow room to step back and appreciate all that Buffalo artists have to offer. Which is apparently a lot.

We found a vase in super light glass, which is actually a carafe, made by Zodax. Love it. There are of course candles, I think every gift store has those. But also art that's interesting, sculpture that is quite a talking point and some very fun and handy kitchen gadgets. They also have jewelry at reasonable prices. And great desk boxes, they can hold pens, cards, paper clips etc. You get the idea, different sizes and shapes. Well worth a visit for a gift, for you or someone else. Street parking.

So discovering this place was a very happy accident! I couldn't believe the variety of Japanese staples they carry, like furikake, numerous types of Shoyu (soy sauce), Japanese Kit Kat bars, Kamaboko (fish cake), Umeboshi (pickled salted plum) and even frozen Ikura (salmon roe)! I came in here the weekend before Japanese girls day (Hinamatsuri), and was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any girls day stuff available. But I'm so happy to have found this place, nonetheless!

When we visited on a Sunday afternoon, half of the back area was sectioned off so there wasn't a whole lot of items to browse. I'm under a tight budget so the prices here didn't appeal to me, but they were overall pretty reasonable. And it's great that the items weren't trendy items semi-massed produced that's sold under the guise of a gift shop trying to make it appear unique or local ish. You know what I mean?! The hubs actually surprised me because he ended up with some Feelgoodz house slippers. He loves online shopping more than being in-person at a store. So after he kept examining a pair of slippers and looking at prices online, he said he'd take 'em. I guess he went for a functional item. I've never encountered a whole store with fair trade items (not that I can remember) so running into this one was really cool. If we are to be consumers in this world, why not make it count a bit.

It's a very cute store with a nice idea, personalized gift baskets and things like that. I'll be back next time I need a basket or small gift.

After a quick Yelp search, Cardsmart popped up and was relatively close. Located right off Colvin in a little plaza, it's much more then cards.

Most cards at 50% off! That's huge if you like to send cards. I didn't require help but, watched a clerk assist an elderly woman who had ordered a gift for her granddaughters wedding.

Go past the oil change place and you'll see the large blue building. This store is well worth seeking out.

They absolutely have what you are looking for. Whether it is a violet interference powder or a handmade stationary it will be there. The service is always excellent as well. The person cashing you out will always be friendly, cheerful, and interested in what you're working on. The staff will steer you towards a beautiful product that will work better than anything as well. It takes all of my free will to not take a pic of it and go to Michael's or buy it direct for half the price though. When I was in undergrad it was fun to hear here and get "the nice" supplies but the price increases just give me anxiety when I come here. Like I have to choose whether I want to be able to get a flight to NYC round trip or buy what I want there.
