I had not been in for awhile, but I was glad I was able to stop in to check them out, I got some nice items on sale, and it was cool to see the different local/small artists products, check them out for fun things for a friend, or for yourself! Friendly staff as well. read more

Pumpkinfish is a fun place to find an unique gift or souvenir of Indiana. The shop is located in The Garage Food Hall, part of the Bottleworks complex off Mass Ave. They carry a wide range of merchandise including dog related mugs, local popcorn and chocolate, fudge, cards, jewelry, home accessories and more. I found some of the Indianapolis-themed items most interesting. Some of the merchandise is a bit risqué (adult oriented) making ideal gifts for a bachelor/bachelorette party. They even carry an interesting assortment of gift cards. The clerk was super friendly and welcoming during my visit. Prices range from reasonable to high for quirky stuff you just can't find anywhere else. There is a parking lot behind the complex or metered street parking along Mass Ave. read more

I LOVE gift shops like this. It is not everyone's cup of tea but I love all the unusual gifts. There are many local to Indianapolis items as well. There are small items that are fairly inexpensive along with larger more expensive items. There are coasters, magnets, shot glasses, socks, bar accessories, and there are edible items and chocolates as well. If you are a fan of the funny sayings, as I am, then you will enjoy walking around the store and reading all of them on various items. They have some cookbooks including one from Snoop Dog! Next time you are in The Garage make sure and stop in here and check them out and see if it your cup of tea! read more

Now located inside Bottleworks, Pumkinfish is a very nice gift shop, full of unique merchandise. They feature a large amount of Indiana-themed gift, novelty, and display items that you will not find elsewhere. Visitors often ask where they can purchase Indiana souvenirs and gifts, and this is the perfect place to recommend. There are also many pet-related gifts, socks, and clothing. Prices range from extremely affordable to more expensive items, but there are many quality items in the $10 to $20 price range. Definitely worth checking out this unique shop. A great addition to the Bottleworks district. read more

If you're reading the reviews for Pumkinfish, one important thing to realize is that some of the older reviews reflect opinions formed at their former Mass Avenue location rather than their brand new spot inside The Garage Food Hall at Bottleworks. They're only a few blocks away from their previous location, a Mass Avenue strip spot that was narrow yet attractive and seemed to fit the eclectic Pumpkinfish personality. I'm not sure all of us fully realized when they closed that they were planning to pop back up, but I think quite a few people are relieved as we all appreciate this gift shop that vacillates somewhere between Indy touristy and slightly naughty snark and artzy phartzy. Located inside the Food Hall, I'm honestly not sure if this new spot has more or less room than the previous location. My immediate thought is that it seems to have less room, though the dimensions are somewhat different. Rather than the exposed brick walls of Mass Avenue, you have the industrial vibe of The Garage and the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant that existed in this massive district's previous incarnation. However, rather wisely, they've also incorporated brick into the design. On Mass Avenue, Pumkinfish felt like an "artsy" shop, while here it seems more like a gift shop. The soul of Pumkinfish remains. You've got Indy-themed gifts, candles, books, slightly naughty and occasionally crass items, magnets, glassware, jewelry, and just a whole lot more. Rather than having an extensive collection of anything, Pumpkinfish mostly has a little bit of a whole lot. If you're in The Garage, which is located at 906 Carrollton and just off the 8-900 block of Mass Avenue, stopping at Pumkinfish seems like a no-brainer. I'm not sure I'd call it a destination gift shop, but it's definitely a place you visit after having had lunch or dinner at one of these Garage restaurants or having taken in a movie at nearby Living Room. lt's also easily within walking distance of the new Bottleworks Hotel which means the Indy gifts should go over well as Bottleworks Hotel will definitely become one of Indy's destination hotels. There's a wide price range. You can easily pick up an inexpensive gift, though you can also spend a bit more. Most of the Indy-themed items are fairly typically priced for "touristy" type items. Pumkinfish is for the most part wheelchair friendly. The front entrance to the Garage is a double-glass door - it's not automatic, but works fairly well. During warmer months, you'll see some open air options. Pumkinfish is on one level and I was able to wheel throughout the shop in my wheelchair, though given the presence of some breakables it's not a shop I'd wheel through quickly. As is true of nearly every place in Indy right now, Pumkinfish is observe health guidelines including the requirement of masks and social distancing. As I didn't purchase on my first visit, I'm not sure about contactless payments. read more

**Covid Times- Wear a damn mask** Pumkinfish can best be summed up as a grown up Spencer's. Highlights: + It's currently located in the new Bottlework's Garage +/- This tiny space is crammed back with randy gifts ,some tasteful and practice to the more pun-ny and depending on your sense of humor, funny or offensive, which honestly if you do, just move on. +/- While you can find some budget friendly items, just be careful because it can add up quidkly. ***Do to the setup/space, it can get crowded ad a bit hard to appropriately social distance.

Random S**t is kind of a fitting description for Pumkinfish. Is it a gift shop? General store? Sunglasses retailer? Yes, yes, and yes. I stumbled upon Pumkinfish and went in to check it out. It opened recently and I was curious what type of stuff they have. Turns out a little bit of everything. Gifts, teas, cocktail mixers, jewelry, etc. I think most of the goods were locally-themed or Indiana-centric, and I am hoping they can rotate what they carry to showcase local products. What's more interesting is the back room that has sunglasses. The selections looked pretty good although I didn't stay long enough to check out the prices. Mass Ave can use a store like this to keep things interesting, rather than just having bars and restaurants. Pumkinfish has a very small footprint, so if you weren't paying attention you might have walked right past it. I would recommend checking it out just to see if there is anything that piques your interests. read more

This place seems to appeal to some people, and to others, not so much. They did have some unique items and there seemed to be plenty of room to browse for items as well. I guess the problem is that I found a number of their items to be crass. Okay, I get an unexpected comment that is off color can have some humor. But this place is loaded with items that use sexual references or bathroom "humor" to be funny. I outgrew that about half a lifetime ago, so I didn't see anything I would want to give as a gift to anyone I wanted to keep as a friend. What is a shame is that it was scattered throughout the store, so it wasn't like I could avoid it. There were some nice items that I might have considered buying, but didn't on my visit.

This is such a cool and fun spot for some unique yet snarky gifts. I don't want to compare it to anyone because I think they probably get more love. They both have items the other don't so you should definitely take a look. I bought a couple of gifts for myself on this round but saw a few things I'd get friends. Perfect gift spot plus place to bring out of town guests for their gift shopping. read more

Pumkinfish is the perfect little Mass Ave gift shop. Their selection ranges from bath bombs to Golden Girls paraphernalia. A great place for gifts with that unique Mass ave touch. I like the cards. Sometimes hallmark just wont cut it when your best friend is going through a breakup and you want to say, "He's a jerk and o never likes him anyway." I always find something new here. Stop in if you want a good laugh and some great gift ideas. read more

Love this store! They have such a cute, random, funny, pretty, nice smelling collection of things. My favorite in the whole store is the elaborate collection of Golden Girls goods! Who doesn't love the Golden Girls? I wanted to buy everything they had but had to hold myself back. The staff are friendly and I love that they put your purchases in a gift bag so it's like you got yourself a present. I will definitely be going back here. If you're downtown go check out this shop! read more

Wow The first time I went in there I was just browsing & asked about their mugs w different breeds on them, what made the mugs unique was the handle was the dog's head! Cute!

So I got a Facebook Messenger saying it was in, since I'm no longer rolling downtown a lot I said the next time I'm on Mass Ave I'll pick it up!

A new gift shop has opened on Mass Ave and it's wonderfully quirky and will fit in perfectly! First of all, I love the bright blue exterior paint- definitely makes the new shop stand out. Second, it's in a great location to get a ton of foot traffic. Third, it's full of amazing gifts and goodies. It's hard to pinpoint a specialty of things they offer so "gifts and goodies" is the best way to put it. The first thing I saw when I walked in were herbs & vegetable plants to take home and grow. The also had lots of locally made body products (options, perfumes, lip gloss, etc). Move in a little further and there are funny gifts you - Hillary puppets, candles, magnets, etc. Then they have awesome vinyl records made into clocks. In the back corner they have cheese, drinks, local honeys and treats (like marshmallows). Overall this is a great little gift shop with tons of local products. I'm looking forward to making lots of purchases here in the near future! read more

This was my first time visiting this shop and it was so much fun! Great little knick knacks for the witty feminist in all of us. Ranging from greeting cards (they are hilarious) to my absolute favorite a Golden Girls trivia book!! The real gold mine though is their popsicles!!! So next time you're in a bind for time but craving an icy treat skip the block long line at Subzero and just grab something from here. You're welcome. read more

Fun and funky shop on Mass Ave that kept me smiling the entire visit. From the hilarious, dog mugs in the front of the store to the Golden Girls votives in the back, this is pure joy. I would definitely shop here on the regular if I lived in Indy. One of my favorite things was the arrangement of bar accessories from boutique bitters to the hand towels with biting quips. So many of my KY friends love this type of gift and would go crazy for this type of stuff. I also have several folks who are IU alums like myself. The small, but classy, array of picture frames and gift items are perfect for both the newly graduated and the not-so-recent grad. Parking is metered out front and can be a tricky in the weekend, but we didn't have any trouble. I'd suggest getting your favorite shopping tote, putting a few dollars in the meter and wandering down Mass Ave., starting at Pumkinfish. read more

I have never been to such a unique store in my life. Pumkinfish offers a variety of different trinkets, souvenirs, and gifts. If you are a dog lover, you must visit their section in the front of the store. They have adorable dog themed socks to cute signs. The most unique thing they had were dog mugs. They had almost every dog in these mugs whose head is the handle. The store also carried quirky coloring books to funny mugs. They also many different themed prayer candles including the full Golden Girls set. Not only does this store have unique gems, but the service was phenomenal. From the second I walked into the door, the man greeted me right away. He asked what we were in for and to let him know if we had any questions. He saw me looking at the dog mugs and told me that he would get me a boxed one instead of the one sitting out. When he got that for me, he let me look at it to make sure there were no scratches or marks. He then put it back in the box and asked if I was buying it for myself or someone else. I told him that it was a Mother's Day gift and he decided to wrap it nicely with tissue paper in their bag. I really liked this since I did not have to rewrap the gift. Overall, I recommend stopping in and checking out what items this store has to offer. read more

Pumkinfish - Gift Shops Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop on Mass Ave. I find myself stopping in as I walk by just to see if there's anything new or something that I didn't see the last time I was in. Lots of unique things make up this place, and while not all uniquely Indiana.. there are quite a few things that are, making it fun to look around and see what's there. Looking for a coloring book full of profanity, they have you covered. I mean, who doesn't feel better after coloring in the words "$&#@" or "@#$%&##@" when you're having a bad day? If you're gift shopping along Mass Ave, make sure you stop in! read more

What a fun new addition to Mass Ave. Tons of eclectic gifts, home, snacks--to consume straight away or take home and make fun creations. There are things for locals and travelers here, with items I've not seen in the other local fun gift shops. They have morning specials: cup of coffee with some baked treat for $2.50 was on offer this morning. Cards, bags, cups, food, jewelry, garden/ home stuff, cursing cursive coloring book, Indy related stuff. Really nice staff. Hope they do well here! read more

There are times when you start to see the same things over and over at some of the other local/Indiana-focused businesses around the Circle City. When that's the case, I come to Pumkinfish. They have odds and ends that are at times Indiana-focused and other times just random odds and ends. They have everything from candles, jewelry, teas, kitchenware, cards, home decor, and everything in between. It's always dead when I go inside, so next time you're at Silver in the City - give this place a stop and you might find some additional gifts to add to your purchases that you might not find elsewhere! read more

My first visit to Pumkinfish made me wish I could afford one of everything. I love that it's an Indy-loving space as well as has other eclectic picks. Using self-restraint, I only picked up two 5" x 7" art prints of the Broad Ripple and SoBro neighborhoods, which I haven't seen at any of the other shops around town. Can't wait to frame them! read more

This store confuses me. I just don't think I understand what exactly the owners are going for or what I would want/need from their random collection of offerings. It's a pretty small store that only takes a couple minutes to browse and I didn't see a single thing that would interest me or my friend who was with me. I must not be their target demographic and that is fine with me. read more

I went to this store with intentions of buying something that I saw in the window yesterday on my way to a meeting. I got to the shop right as they opened. The door is a little hard to open so i figured it was still locked since it was literally 10:58. The woman working saw me trying to open the door and struggling and started screaming at me ITS OPEN, in a much less than pleasant tone. I eventually got the door open and once inside she let out a very audible grunt. The Scottie mug would have been the perfect gift for my boyfriend as his recently passed but i couldn't bring myself to give money to this woman and ended up leaving empty handed. This is a newer establishment and won't stay in business long if this is how they intend on treating their first customer of the day... over something as simple as having a bit of difficulty opening the door. read more

Lots of cool stuff for gifts to awesome loved ones and for yourself! Located in the Garage.

This store is an absolute must stop destination in Indianapolis! They have a variety of fun gifts, goodies, Indiana memorabilia, sweet treats, and so much more that will keep you laughing for hours! The staff is just as great as the store! They are always super friendly and willing to assist customers! I will most definitely be back!! 10/10!! read more

This little gem is exactly what Mass Ave needed. It has an assortment of gifts and fun items. If you're a prude, keep walking; this place is not for you. I love all the bath & body products I have tried, as well as the bar mixers. I've also purchased some items through the website and the delivery was prompt, and I was pleased with my purchase. I'm looking forward to seeing what new items are added in the future, as the inventory changes all the time. Highly recommend this place! read more

I have only stopped into this store twice since it has opened, but would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique gift idea. They have just about everything you need for a spa day (bath bombs, scented oils, soaps, etc). Their selection of comical mugs and other glassware is amongst the best I've seen around town as well. Great addition to the Mass ave strip and a must see if you're in the area! read more

My daughter and I stumbled into this spot for the first time on Small Business Saturday.
