This is, by far, the store that has the most extensive collection of the cutest and not so common…read moremerchandise (smallest Boggle, smallest Etch-A-Sketch) that I have been to. They have a ton of gift items including toys, greeting cards, magnets (Steven Rhoads!), plushies, wrappers, salt/pepper shakers, tea infusers, socks, pot holders, pens, books, chip bag clips, vases, aprons, and so much more. All of these were very adorable. The cashier that night was a very nice man who used to be a photographer. They have a few items on Nebraska. If you are looking just for Nebraska souvenirs, you may want to check out Made In Omaha and Old Market Sundries which have more selection of Nebraska souvenirs. This place is definitely worth visiting!

This is your quirky, fun gift stop in Omaha! They have so many fun and delightful gifts in store,…read moreand wrapping supplies to gift them! The store is chock-full of anything you might be looking for in a gift or just a fun touch for your own home. They have a big selection of cookbooks, journals, socks, office supplies, kids books and toys, kitchenware, calendars, seasonal gifts and decor, magnets, keychains, you name it. Lots of irreverent gifts, this is the perfect place to get a joke gift, white elephant gift, or sarcastic gift for a coworker you like but don't love. Pricing is about what you'd pay anywhere else for the item, I bought two mugs here recently and they were $20 a piece. Come in, browse around, and find a cute new touch to add to your life or someone else's. Just don't bring your ice cream, they have a strict no ice cream policy.

CHRISTMAS CARDS FROM SANTA - about a week ago, I set out to find someone here in Omaha who would be…read morewilling to create a Christmas Card from Santa....... I found Nanci, the owner of a really cool stationary store (RSVP) in Rockbrook Village (108th & Center) I emailed her a pretty detailed idea of things to add to the cards...... this is what she created and they are absolutely AMAZING! If you are interested, please contact her at RSVP on Facebook!

Tiny little store, but worth a drop-in.

If you love shopping local, especially during the holidays Five Nine is an absolute must visit. I…read moreintentionally try to support small businesses, and this shop made it so easy (and joyful) to do just that. When I say the selection is overwhelming in the best possible way, I truly mean it. Pens of every kind imaginable, fountain pens, gel pens, everyday favorites plus notebooks, planners, agendas, postcards, greeting cards, and the cutest gift-wrapping supplies you could dream of. I walked in thinking I needed "one thing" and immediately wanted everything. On top of the incredible selection, the staff was genuinely kind, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they love what they do and care about the community they serve. Five Nine is one of those places that makes you want to slow down, browse, and enjoy the experience. I will absolutely be returning--and probably often.

This place is stocked UP with labubus. Now, are they authentic. NO! But are they only $19.99? YES! If you want to get on the trends without spending a fortune, this is a good spot. Also, they barter, or make deals so give em a try.

I'm not 100% sure why this shop has the word "TikTok" in it, because it has nothing to do with…read moreTikTok. My husband loves watching funny TikToks (like, he's obsessed), so when we saw this store randomly open at the Westroads Mall, we were super excited to pop in, thinking it had something to do with TikTok (I'm not sure what, but...something?) That was definitely not the case. Also, I noticed soon after we visited that the name was changed to TikTokker Trendway, because maybe they were told they can't use the straight "TikTok" name? It wasn't a "bad" store, by any means, though. They did have some cute items like socks, plushies, novelty shirts, off-brand Squishmallows, slippers, etc. It may be a good spot if you're in a pinch for a funny/cute gift. The few items we picked up to check out weren't of the best quality, though, so don't expect these type of things to last a lifetime or anything. I would describe this as sort of a Wish/Temu brick and mortar. So if you like the types of items that sell on those sites, this store might be for you - it just wasn't really for us.

I stopped in while putting together Christmas boxes for my out-of-town family and was blown away by how easy they made it to shop small in one place. I was able to find all local products without hopping from store to store including honey, candles, baker's chocolate candies, magnets, t-shirts, and so many other amazing Nebraska-made items. Everything is thoughtfully curated, beautifully displayed, and genuinely high quality. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming, and it feels really good knowing that every purchase supports local makers and businesses. It's the perfect one-stop shop for gifts that actually feel meaningful and unique (not just filler items). If you're sending care packages, building gift boxes, or just want to support Omaha-made products, this place is a no-brainer. I'll absolutely be back not just for the holidays, but year-round.

Sunday, I visited the Omaha store and was looking for a canvas and was not finding the size I was…read morelooking for. When I asked for help in finding an alternate size I was told "Art is a very personal thing". OK, I get it but are there optional canvas sizes that could meet my need? We are talking an art supply to create art not art. When I tried to explain why I was looking for help and that I had driven al long way, the cashier evidently didn't like my tone of voice and became defensive and I was told I shouldn't talk to her that way (what way?) and I should leave. I had a purchase I had bought the previous day with me and I didn't think would work for me, so I said I soon as I got the credit I would leave the store. I was then told by the cashier that the staff was just minimum wage earners paid to cash out customers and had no knowledge of art or art supplies. (salesperson 71700). She handled my return expediently and I left. Unfortunately, given my treatment, I doubt I will ever return to the store and its going to be tough to continue to refer other people there. Historically I had found Blick to have a good selection, reasonable prices and most of all, helpful staff. Other note: Recently, I had an error involving an online order (dickblick.com) where an item was missing. I called and the customer service was great. Could not of been happier with how service was provided. BTW last Sunday Michaels was able to help me with the canvas. However, I could have stayed in Lincoln and shopped at Michaels, I didn't need to drive to Omaha. Interesting enough, the order I made at Michaels was shipped to me from no other than Blick Art Materials. How ironic.
