Before our son was born some years ago, we gave him a placeholder name of "Ichabod." As in Ichabod…read moreCrane and the Headless Horseman. Yeah, weird, but we had fun with it. We didn't want to go public with the actual name we'd chosen for him before he was born, and for the purposes of this review, I'll refer to him as Ichabod. Hey, it's nostalgic. After "Ichabod" was born, one of the nicest baby gifts we received was from our cousins - a soft white towel with colorful trains on it, and his name on it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FVluLU0ipBv3FoeRsBmo1g?select=-bfU5BxCC7DGP8EsUxeJLA Ichabod is not a common name, so it's not like our cousins just picked it up at the store. Our son loves his train towel, and uses it after every bath. Our friends just had a baby and named her Paisley. We thought this would be a perfect present for her. We called my cousin so we could give this great gift to our friends. It comes in a variety of colors and designs (butterflies, fairies, ducks, fire trucks, dinosaurs, zoo animals, fish, sailboats, etc.), and you can have other things personalized, including: * Towels * Hooded towels * Bibs * Spa wrap * Holiday stocking * Pail and shovel This makes a thoughtful gift for any kid and is very high quality. You can order online or over the phone. Ichabod loves his unique towel, and I think we'll buy others - especially for other kids with unusual names.

When Jennifer L. wrote her review of this site I bookmarked it. A dear friend of Tam's was…read morepregnant and I thought this would be a fine place to buy her baby a gift. After he was born I ordered a towel w/ sailboats and his name on it. I ended up calling to order it rather than going through the site because I don't like PayPal, which they use. It's a long story. Don't ask. The woman I spoke to was friendly and warm. She was a little apologetic that it would take maybe three weeks, I told her not to worry about it, that I'd waited this long to contact her and could wait a little longer. We agreed the baby wouldn't know the difference. The towel arrived while we were in KC and I opened it last night when we got home. It is a gorgeous blue, soft and beautifully crafted. I just love it and so will Mommy and Baby, I think. Enclosed was a sweet note w/ another apology for the wait and a coupon for a discount on my next order. Well, I have a little great niece who will be turning 2 this summer and could use a towel w/ her name on it. I look forward to choosing the color and design. This will not be my last purchase here. I think the prices are extremely reasonable and the website gives you a good sense of her products, which Jennifer lists in more detail in her review.

I've shopped here sporadically over the last twenty years and there's always something that catches my eye. I would say that the selection is eclectic and moderate luxe without the super high price tags. Beautiful fabrics with interesting pieces to add to your wardrobe. Jackets, dresses, shirts, pants, scarves and accessories. They also have a small section of shoes and boots, with names like Dansko. They have a cute section that had small gifts for a special someone as well as some really cool jewelry pieces that won't break the bank. The staff is kind and eager to help. The store is organized and neat- with a great sale rack in back. I bought a pair of Dansko boots on my last visit. They had my size but they were more than willing to check their other store, if needed. Thank you Green Ink for delivering on great service and great product.

When we showed up - parking was a nightmare at the beach. I specifically asked about parking / general info ahead of time. Would have been helpful for the locals to give a couple pointers and maybe let us know that wrist bands need to be purchased for all beachgoers, but whatever - that's on me. Just seemed like a little common courtesy / customer service. Here's the real issue though. 1 instructor for 10 kids!! The beach lesson was maybe one minute long before he had all of them (ages 16 - 5yrs old) walking into ocean and getting pummeled in the break. They had no idea how to protect themselves or others from the surf board getting thrown around. Kids were getting smashed by boards around them. Several of the adults jumped into ocean to help the kids get past the break and stayed in water to ensure they were somewhat safe. The instructor seemed to only give tips to one kid at a time when he was prompted to give a tip (ie - when do you start paddling to catch a wave). Instructor admitted it was too much for him to handle on his own but that's just how WW operates. If it was a group of 10 random strangers there would be two instructors, but apparently when it's a 'private lesson' of 10ppl - only one instructor regardless of how rough the ocean is. Unacceptable. Dangerous. Should be ashamed of themselves. Find another surf shop for your lessons!

Pretty big store with all the expected Marshalls items…read more I stop in here from time to time for clothes, gifts, home goods. It's one of those stores you have to check often to see what they have in stock. They rotate seasonal and holiday items with any unsold items going into the discount bin after the holiday. They have good prices on clothes and I always check out the sales racks. Clothes are offered for all ages with big changing rooms at the end. The layout here is similar to other Marshalls in this area. With lots of kitchen items it makes sense to check here first. They offer different items than you'll find at other stores which often have the same items at different price points and the prices are good here. I often find things at Marshalls I've been looking for elsewhere. Pots, bowls, linens, utensils. It's all here, plus some food items. One line forms for all the registers and of course they have impulse buys along the way. Candles, personal care items, socks, mittens, lunch boxes, you name it. All cute and desirable. Lots of parking in the lot out front.

Anyways, they carry men's clothing as well, and my boyfriend had a little fun picking some pieces out for himself. I am definitely going to go back to see what other things. I just noticed that they carry Tory Burch and Missoni lines there now ...! They carry children's clothing too ... which I didn't noticed last time I was out there.
