    Cute decorative pillow
    Cristina B.

    Rock Paper Scissors is one of my favorite local women-owned businesses. I started coming here a few years ago while strolling through Downtown Ann Arbor. This place is spacious and filled with so many unique, quirky and FUN gifts! So many Ann Arbor and Michigan items for people of all ages. The card selection is massive, in addition to the wide variety of stickers and stationary. Don't skimp out on your time here because there truly is a gift for everyone. There's stuffed animals, books and onesies for children. Candles, stationary, clothing .. The possibilities are endless at RPS. Taylor Swift and Gilmore Girls section for fans. They even offer fun pop up events and offer gift wrapping for gifts! I'm a Swiftie so I loved the events catered to her! I stopped in earlier this year for an album release party and again for their event for Taylor's birthday. The staff here is so kind and welcoming. I could truly spend hours here! Can't wait to stop in again soon!

    I got the cutest house cat socks for the Chief of Staff here, very good selection of cute gifts. You can't visit this store without using the word, cute, at least 14 times. Lots of cute stuff here. A must stop in on your walking shopping visit to downtown Ann Arbor. By the way, rock, paper, scissors game was a Japanese invention.

    Rock, Paper, Scissors, Score! This place offers a wide variety of fun items for many occasions. If you're looking for a quirky gift, search no further. Prices are on the higher end, but that's to be expected for a trendy area like this one and especially for a quirky niche gift shop. Though, looking up a few items on Google out of curiosity, pricing wasn't too outlying here. Staff was resourceful and kind, even with busy overwhelming Saturday crowds on the prowl for holiday shopping. They truly have items for everyone here... most of the selections are on the feminine side, yet I was impressed with the variety and selection of items. The store it self is quite big, with sections organized, ranging from themes, to age groups (ie a 'kids corner'), pets, hobbies, and more! The walls are adorned with fun wallpapers and overall the vibe in this store is fun (mostly girl energy). I enjoyed the different wallpaper / colors to delineate the different sections of the store, while still maintaining a "one store" vibe. The store was clean and well lit. It was hallmark on steroids. In terms of items for sale, they have it all. They have soap that swears, witty gifts with punny sayings, an area that could be referred to as a "pets paradise," gifts for for the chef in your life, hobby items (like pickleball), book lover gifts, and a lot more I can't even recall, because there's just so many cool things. If there's a trend, this place probably had something for it. They even had a Wicked Section, but then again, wicked is quite popular right now ;) Of course they had "standard" gift-shoppy items like "world's softest socks," purses, jewelry, sunglasses, hats, sweatshirts, etc. And If you're Swifte, this place is basically a shrine. It seemed nearly a fourth of the store was dedicated to Taylor and her fan base. They had shirts, stickers, water bottles, journals, jewelry, lip gloss, and so many other things. Even jf you don't like Taylor Swift, you still have to admire the dedication and interesting items sold here. Taylor's music was playing, so if you can't stand her voice, you may have to wait outside if others are with you, and they want to explore this place. Buyer beware - the people in the Taylor Swift section are ruthless and will cut you off, push you out of the way, and try to steal Taylor items you're trying to buy, especially if it's limited stock. Some people also lacked manors so don't expect anyone to hold a door open. Chivalry is dead in Michigan. Overall, I think a trip here is worth while, even just to get inspo for gifts or find interesting items for sale, and share a good laugh with accomplices, alibi's, friends or family, or whoever you're rollin with and just want to find something interesting.

    1989 Taylor's Version release party at Rock Paper Scissors!

    I can't believe I haven't written a review of Rock Paper Scissors yet! This place is one of my favorite, must-shop places in Ann Arbor and I have been coming here for over a decade now for so many goodies, for my own space and for all my loved ones! RPS is one part stationary store, where you can get wedding invitations, cards, etc. done for all sorts of holidays, but then nine parts a store filled to the brim with the cutest stuff around! A ton of my Michigan and Ann Arbor-based prints are from here and they have a ton of homegoods, clothing, accessories, etc. that are so unique and incredible, I can't even begin to explain! The store is organized in different ways, there's a Michigan section, outdoor/cozy winter section, Ann Arbor section, fandom section including many pop culture loves, there's a kids section, a more high end boutique section, a women empowerment section...the list just goes on and on. The store is beautifully arranged, the stock is turned over often so every time I come here I feel like I'm seeing and discovering new things, and they just expanded recently to the space next door, so there's even more space now for goodies!!! Rock Paper Scissors is a must-visit anytime you're in Ann Arbor or on the hunt for gifts. They've been an Ann Arbor small business staple for as long as I can remember and I am so excited to see them grow! Most recently, I came here for the 1989 Taylor's Version release party that they had and it was so wonderful to celebrate in this store I love with fellow Swifties who get it!! Love it here so much! Please visit and enjoy Rock Paper Scissors and thank me later!!

    I don't hit the Ann Arbor scene often, but this is an adorable little shop that has a great variety of products! I can definitely see this larger than it looks from the outside shop packed to the brim once the holidays get closer. I'll definitely be back!

    I love this store! It's always been a go-to for a whimsical experience shopping for cards, gifts, and quirky home goods. I've recently also been enjoying events they've been hosting that have brought me in more. Looks like they physically expanded the store recently-ish so there are plenty of twists and turns through the store to find something for everyone. Their 1989 Taylor's Version release party was super fun and well done, and loving the current setup to for the holidays. And yes, I will be back for their Swiftmas party in Dec... Only thing is that their stuff can be pricey, so just something to be aware of!

    This small gem in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor is a real treat where you can pick up some cool & funny gifts. They have greeting cards for just about every occasion and they're hilarious. In addition they sell unique wall art, snacks, pins, buttons, candles and more. I think my favorite part are the stickers, as they really stand out to me. In the back theres a section with tons of University of Michigan attire, cups, and books. You can really get lost in all this store has to offer and end up picking up some art you see or a book that looks interesting. Now I will say that the staff are a little iffy. One time I came in and they were super friendly and greeted me, and asked if I had any questions.... While another time it felt like they couldn't be bothered it. I thought perhaps it was in my head, but even as I was checking out I could tell the sales person was a little annoyed, perhaps just having a bad day. All in all I really enjoy visiting here and I already know a few things I want to buy on my next visit.

    When went to the Grand Canyon, my husband forgot to pack underwear. So this stocking stuffer from Rock Paper Scissors is useful AND funny.

    To be safe, my family decided to do a distanced Christmas this year and that included skipping presents with the exception of my little cousin. But my aunt informed me that my cousin, who loves to give maybe more than get, was bummed that we weren't going to exchange anything so we decided to do one present each and do a facetimed "opening" session. I knew I wanted to go local for my gifts so I started at Rock Paper Scissors and, luckily for me, I ended there too! Not only is their website really great, they stocked it full of so many great gift ideas. And the best part? They offered curated gift boxes based on a theme. I picked a few boxes (a bloody mary gift box for my uncle, a "favorite things" box for my mom, etc) and my shopping was DONE. I just had to wait for my text notification that they were ready for pick up and I went and scooped them up. Pick up was at their Saline location and it was contactless as well. Just text them to let them know you're there and they bring your bags out to a table by the door for you to grab. Easy peasy! It was all packaged in lovely boxes with filler and tied with a ribbon. I ended up wrapping my boxes but reused the ribbon, which was great! It made my gifts look extra sharp. Also, every year my husband and I exchange goofy stockings but buying stocking stuffers like we normally do was a little challenging this year. But of course, RPS came to the rescue here, too! They had a gift box for this too. Just describe the recipient in the notes and they curate a fun box of goodies for them. Candy, fun knick knacks, stationary, etc. It was so fun opening the box for me, too, since I didn't know what they included. And they nailed it! I also picked some items a-la-cart for myself and my husband. The selection is great, the staffing is wonderful, and the products are worth every penny. Thanks for making my pandemic Christmas so lovely, RPS!

    Michigan made candy!

    I went into this store to pick up a bag for a Yelp event. I love stores like this. There are a ton of locally made products including the cinnamon candies from Schurms! They are a must try. There were a lot of "local" items from other states. I love buying local and small batch, so I'm glad I can experience what other states have to offer. The decorative items they have for sale are all so cute. I want to spend too much money on that stuff. I walked in and there was a young woman working at the counter. She seemed very shy. There were quite a few people in the store and she didn't interact with anyone. Suprised me a little. Still very friendly though. Next time you're walking down Main Street, stop in and check out this awesome local business!

    This was my first visit to Ann Arbor. I was in a bookstore and saw a man with a bag that said Rock, Paper, Scissors and knew I had to check it out. I'm so glad that I did. The place is one of my favorite stores, ever. It's full of witty, hilarious, borderline inappropriate (my personal favorite) items. They sell greeting cards, hilarious decor, funny office decorations, cute jewelry, kitchen goods, basically anything you can think of that's cute and adorable, and funny, this place has it. I hope I have to go back to Ann Arbor so I can visit this store again.

    Super cute store, lots of great Michigan and science products and super friendly staff Will definitely go back!

    Rock Paper Scissors is the epitome of fun and homey combined. I stopped in to pick up a swag bag for a Yelp event but ended up doing some shopping on my own. Most booths were sorted by color and they had some well curated items. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but I'm the woman who bee lines for a clearance rack normally (I didn't see one here.) What I thought Rock Paper Scissors was designed for was gifting. As I strolled around, I saw items nearly everyone I knew would love. I picked up some Mother's and Father's Day items and returned later for an item for my spouse that I couldn't shake out of my head. They are conveniently located and there is plenty of street or structure parking nearby. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. Go when you have an hour to peruse. You may lose track of time looking at everything!

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.
