Something for everyone. On my second visit here I'd have to say if you're a woman don't come alone unless you're ready to be ignored while you're spending your money. Every time I enter a Lebanese store in Dearborn, I am reminded why I don't shop at Arab-owned businesses in this town. Mind you, I believe this place is owned by Iraqis but damn it if they don't do the same crap as the Lebanese - men all standing around the register shooting the breeze and the owner/manager doesn't even pause for eye contact as he takes your money. I expect some respect, that comes in the form of eye contact and "hello or thank you" while I spend my money in your shop so be civil and tell your family/buddies to 'hang on while you cash out your customer'. I don't want to feel like i'm bothering you to shop in your store. No thank you. In chain stores, people lose their jobs for this type of behaviour. So while my first visit's rating was a 5 star (for the available products and their quality), I have to drop down to 1 star for customer service.

Highly recommended and check it out if you are in the New Center neighborhood of Detroit, specifically the Fisher Building!

The Caravan Gift Shop is an interesting store located inside of Nickels Arcade in Ann Arbor. Nate…read moreand I stopped in while we were in town last summer and looked around - there are lots of different types of items including kid stuff (clothes, toys, books, etc.), tiny animal figurines, cards, jewelry, art, accessories, home and garden goods, bath and body products, chocolate, decor... quite an interesting mix of items. We ended up buying a Michigan made felted wool cat toy that looked like a mouse. Super cute and durable. The employee ringing us up was very friendly and nice and told us about the cat toy, which was cool. I always appreciate a kind interaction at places like this. I think this would be a great place to shop for someone who's "hard to buy for" since there are so many different types of gifts and products at the Caravan Gift Shop. This place has been open since 1927!

However, for…read moreme, that always calls to mind cheesy Hallmark cards and knick-knacks, and this store is far cooler than that. It's one of several small local retailers located in the nifty walking mall called Nickels Arcade, off S. State Street. They have a variety of items that would make nice gifts, ranging from hand-sewn handbags, kitchenware and old school wooden toys. The staff were nice. They said hello and goodbye with a smile but didn't hover. I always appreciate that.

Stopped by here yesterday for the first time. I thought it was a new shop although the cashier said…read morethey've been around for quite a while. They have really cute gifty type merchandise. When I walked in, I saw some coasters and I immediately recognized the artist - it was from Polka Dot Mitten in Saugatuck (I had just been to that store and bought one a few weeks ago), which was fun. They're also doing a promotion with some Main Street restaurants right now, if you purchase something there and then show the slip of paper at the restaurant, you get $10 off your next meal there. And vice versa, if you go to the restaurant, and then show the slip of paper at the store, you get 20% off one item. I ended up getting a cute owl type figurine for my mom, it was about $10 which was reasonable. Cute store and I will stop by next time I'm in Ann Arbor.

I needed souvenirs to buy for my co-workers back home and I didn't want to just hit up the airport gift shop on my way out. I wanted to support local businesses who make vintage quality souvenir magnets - similar to what you'd find at the airport but not at the airport. I was with my friend on a brisk Friday evening and we stumbled upon this place. We had asked around for souvenir shops in the vicinity, but ended up here at Roeda Studios. They actually had what I wanted here and thankful that I didn't have to go all over Ann Arbor to get it. In hindsight, Detroit airport didn't have much anyway and I was glad that I came here for souvenirs. We entered around 6pm, exhausted after searching through 3 nearby shops. When the cashier told us they carried Michigan inspired souvenirs, I was happy and thankful that the search was over. Roeda Studios is one of those stores that carries an assortment of trinkets and cute household things that you can decorate your home or office with. There's plenty of Michigan inspired items along with some University of Michigan logo items too. The store itself is very organized and meticulously clean. Just glad that I didn't need to buy at the airport on my way out in Detroit. The overall experience here at Roeda Studios here in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan was quite nice and easy. I took about 30 minutes here browsing and shopping for those souvenir magnets that my coworkers love to have. I did enjoy the ambiance of this cute boutique store. Don't know if they had any public WiFi, but pretty sure they had central air conditioning. Roeda Studios is located at 319 S Main Street in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. They accept major credit cards and cash. Perfect for us out of towners, who are always on the go. We ended up parking at a parking garage that was about 2 blocks away. Kind of perfect though, especially with a low parking fee to park for 2 hours or so. Not sure about Ann Arbor's public transportation options, but best bet would be your own private car or rental. Or if you need it: uber or Lyft is at your service too. Roeda Studios has your Michigan inspired tourist souvenirs and ideas on how to spruce up your home decor or office space. Quite a nice little shop that I happen to stumble into. For the most part though, the experience here at Roeda Studios was quite uneventful and great that I didn't have to run around downtown Ann Arbor for Michigan inspired souvenirs. The service was friendly and quick. I'm glad my friend and I came here and, while prices here can be above average for touristy souvenirs, you can be sure that you do get a quality product here. My reference would be the $6 magnets you find at the typical airport kiosk to $10+ unique ones you find here at Roeda, if you were to find something special for Michigan. Not sure if they have central air conditioning or public WiFi though, but the shopping experience was quick enough to where I didn't notice one bit. I would definitely recommend coming here for your home decor or office space sprucing needs, as well as Michigan inspired souvenir magnets. If you're ever in downtown Ann Arbor, swing on by. They'll be glad to help you out with that you need. Come on by, they would love to see you. Happy with my purchase. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the service and selection. 3.0 stars for the prices. Support local! B

After spending nearly $100 at Glow Fish Studios during a relaxed visit on my day off several years…read moreago, I received a direct text from the owner accusing me of stealing a $60 necklace and threatening to press charges unless I returned it. There was no proof, just that the item was missing. I told her I didn't take anything and offered to help look for it--if she stopped threatening me. Instead, she took me to court. It took three months for them to produce video footage, which confirmed what I'd said all along: I never stole anything. I was not found guilty of any crime, yet I was forced to pay over $1,500 in legal costs simply to defend myself against a baseless accusation. Glow Fish Studios doesn't feel like a business anymore--it feels like a sting operation run by someone who gets a little too much satisfaction from accusing and humiliating people. I used to shop here often. I have no criminal background. This was deeply traumatic, and it seems they care more about "catching shoplifters" than actually treating customers like human beings. If you value integrity, avoid this place. They are not the small business they pretend to be. Overpriced shit that isn't even from real witches. Just gentrified, rich white women who profit off aesthetics, not authenticity. Save yourself the drama and support Motown Witch or Moonlit Mystic LLC--actual Black-owned Detroit shops that honor the craft and don't treat their customers like suspects.
