A one stop shop for all your gifting needs…read more Whether you're in search of the perfect holiday gift or hostess item, this gift boutique has you covered. I recently visited Ohio to see my cousin and was impressed by the Van Aken District. This food-hall/market space features a variety of eateries, a brewery, and local shops - including Luster. Here you can shop clothes, jewelry, household goods, toys, knickknacks and more. I snagged a few items, including some adorably shaped bird feeders for a friend and fridge magnets with photo frames. The store is decently priced, making it a no brainer when you're looking for a memorable gift.

Luster is a gift shop inside the Van Aken Market Hall. I always liked how charming Luster looked,…read morewalked by the store many times, but never had a valid excuse to stop in. This weekend I checked it out while waiting for my food order. AMBIANCE/INVENTORY: The store has two well-lit rooms with a variety of gifts. The assortment includes women's apparel, household goods, cute purses, knits, totes, coffee table books, skincare items, decor, kids toys, and everything in between. You can literally walk in and purchase everything on your Christmas list or shop for a certain someone. Talk about efficiency! Around Christmas, Luster has visual lists of gifts for certain people in your like on Instagram like "gift guide for travel" queen. This brings me back to the times we used to read magazines and find these lists there. The lists are very helpful! Year round, their website is very well organized and you can quickly find categories/gift personas. The gifts can also accommodate various budgets. Some items are as low as $12, plenty of options under $50. Apparel tends to be more pricey (around $60-200), and goes up to size L. I was hoping to find a gift bag or a box at Luster for an upcoming girls' Christmas gift exchange. I already have the gifts but need to package them. Surprisingly, the gift shop had no wrapping paper, boxes, bags, or anything for packaging. I was hoping for some unique designs and high quality. I feel like it would be a nice addition to any gifts purchased here. I also then found out that no other surrounding shops at Van Aken seem to have this based on a quick internet search. SERVICE: I didn't experience any service - no greeting and no offer of assistance. I found it quite impersonal. PARKING: There are multiple parking lots at Van Aken - surface lot and parking garage. I can see myself returning to shop for quick gifts in the future and utilizing gift lists. Next time I'll need more time to focus on the extensive inventory. Although to be honest, the lack of service during my visit would make me consider other boutiques around the area first.

Not a doll/dollhouse person. Got word from another model railroad enthusiast that this store was…read morewell worth looking into for modeling supplies. An understatement. She is very courteous, understanding, and helpful. She (the owner)also has a better supply of "our" stuff, like wood shapes and sheets, plastic sheets that a lot of model railroad shops no longer carry. There's also a decent selection of paints and tools. Great location across the street from a mini shopping center with some other decent stores and some good places for lunch.

We were looking for a doll hospital to fix our porcelain doll, Alyce because she got a broken leg…read moreduring shipping. We had nothing in our area. But we were able to find this place which is 3 hours away from us. They are very professional and had the parts that were needed to give Alyce new legs and feet. My wife and I really like this shop. They fixed her while we waited. And while we waited we found 2 more porcelain dolls to take home with us. We named them Elizabeth and the one in the tub is Kelly. I didn't include Kelly's photo here because she is supposed to be naked for her bath and I don't know if picturing her here would cause a problem. We enjoyed our time here and plan to go again at some point. I highly recommend them if you have a doll that needs repaired.

I was taken back to see her NO ENTRY WITHOUT A MASK sign on the front door. I briefly thought that perhaps the owner just had not taken the sign down from over a year ago. I entered the store and was just standing in front of the door looking around at all the beautiful items that were for sale. A woman come forward from the back of the store and stated we don't allow entry without a mask and proceeded to direct me to the little mask station she had set up to the right of the store. I was shocked and taken back! All the lies and propaganda came running through my gut again and I simply stated "I do not buy that narrative", and turned around and walked out unable to purchase the book set. She has a right to set restrictions as I have the right to not comply. If she is that ill or sensitive to germs perhaps she would be better staying home or having customers order online. My sense is that continuing these restrictions will cause her business to fold as there was not one other soul in the store. My experience was not positive and I will not recommend this particular establishment. Such a huge disappointment and shame. Good luck Paisley Monkey. You are very woke and may go broke.
