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 wandered in here through a Yelp event and ended up leaving with a package. This gift studio is…read morewarm, inviting and how the store is decorated is gorgeous. 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.

I bought a pair of handmade fingerless gloves that I loved--until my daughter "borrowed" them from me! They also have wonderful gift options for kids, like bilingual word cards and books that my family really enjoyed. I couldn't resist picking up a few mugs with great sayings on them, too. I'm planning to call and see if they ship orders because there are still a few items I'd love to get my hands on. Highly recommend for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind finds!

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.

Michael is the artist and is also the shop owner. He just loves to talk about Buffalo. Has everything from t-shirts, post cards, clocks, mugs, and of course art. A particular design I was looking for in a specific size wasn't available. So I talked it over with him and he printed it for me the next day! Great customer service guy that will always remember your name. He is constantly coming out with new work, and I just felt in love with his most recent play on the Sabres emblem that uses snow shovels instead of the swords! Unique Buffalo-made, Buffalo themed gifts... you can't go wrong!

It's…read morea great resource for greeting cards because they're cheap but with a better selection than your average dollar store. The quality of the cards is somewhat iffy, but I'd rather that than pay out the nose for a Hallmark card. Just recently I was here looking for the perfect card for my husband's birthday. I found it so easily and quickly that I had to believe the gift gods were looking down on me that day. The store doesn't just sell cards and stationary. There's a lot of trinkets and plenty of Christian memorabilia to go around. The ladies at the counter were both polite and wearing masks. Unfortunately, there was a little hiccup with my transaction, but that's because of technical difficulty with the store's system. It all eventually went through and didn't take too long. The store is ultimately the place to go for cards and stationary. It also happens to be next to a post office, which I'm sure was by design. If you want an affordable, nice card to give to someone (or many someones), the Cardsmart shoukd always be your first stop!
