I also saw a lot of Baggu items, which is a brand that I really like. Lots of stuff I hadn't seen in person before, like the teeny tiny backpacks. They also had a lot of local art, jewelry, cards, candles, and more. It's a great spot for finding a gift for yourself or your favorite gal pals! Unfortunately I was not greeted when I came in nor when I was browsing, which I feel is such a small thing that can really make a difference when shopping. The person at the counter was with another customer, but even just a quick, "hi, welcome in!" can be so nice. That said, I would come back in the future just to check out what they have in stock.

Another place that I can't believe I haven't written a review for yet. I absolutely love this store…read moreand it's one of my favorite small businesses in Ann Arbor! Located in Kerrytown across the street from Detroit Street Filling Station, this woman-owned business is stocked full of so many unique and thoughtfully curated and sourced items. You want to come here for all the most unique and gorgeous looking goodies to gift to yourself and your loved ones and make sure to stop by often as they have a rotating selection of goodies throughout the seasons and months as well! They always have gorgeous window displays, the employees are always so happy to see you and the service is wonderful, and this shop is just so dreamy! Things are definitely on the pricey side here, but everything is really high quality and they feature a ton of local artisans in the area as well. There's nothing I love more than an intentional shop and you can truly feel how intentional Thistle & Bess is in every detail their store contains. Absolutely lovely and always worth a peruse whenever you find yourself in the Ann Arbor area!

I love this store. There is never a time I don't find something I'd love to purchase. Contrary to…read moreother posts, I've never had an issue with the level of service. It is true that the staff is typically at the counter but, in my experience, the staff is always friendly and professional. From my perspective, my purchases here are all discretionary. This isn't Home Depot where I want/need an employee to provide advise on the options and offer suggestions. Personally, I have no difficulty buying things I don't "need" but rather want.

I also need to bring some of my Wiccan friends to see all the items for them. While I only took a few pictures, you can find a wide range of choices. Personal care, bath, and lotions. Jewelry, clothing, and hair items. Art work, art glass, and other items to make your home interesting. This small store has a huge variety that change as artists bring stuff into sell. If you have a dry, dark, sense of humor, you will find lots to smile at and for them, hopefully buy.

This is quite an amazing place filled with so much fun and curious trinkets in such a small place…read more We came upon this place because we were searching some specific clothing that was sold here. While they have a very small selection of clothing, it is very unique and worth the drive. We were searching for an out-of-state vendor they sold here. We were not disappointed. We found exactly what we were looking for and more. We purchased some clothing, earring, and stickers, but found many more items to come back for later. The individual working here was super friendly, talkative, and helpful and made our experience here even more magical. This is such a magical mystical store, it has an esoteric awesome vibe. Highly recommend seeking out this store.

I came back for a Valentine's Day gift for my partner and ran into the same sales associate who…read morehelped us last time. She is truly the best, very knowledgable and super friendly. The store is still doing social distancing with the line outside (although people are very close to each other in the line) and only letting 1 party/3 people in at a time. We purchased the English Oak and Hazelnut for my partner and got their cologne cap engraved as well. The experience was great and the store looked as beautiful as always. I know I'll be back in again sometime soon, and I can't wait!

Found out about the toy store Genuine Toy Co online by searching thru apple map. hesitant to drive…read morefrom west Bloomfield to Plymouth but after knowing they are the authorized dealer of Smiskis", I say the drive was long but worth the trip! Located in downtown Plymouth, the buildings look historical. Public parking is available but limited to 2 hours parking. It gave us enough time to park and walk towards the GTC. I find the window display from the outside to be intimidating and made me think that the prices of the items they sell are expensive. Surprised to find out later that they sell toys at a comparable price. most of the employees we saw were female...I find them friendly and knowledgeable of what's new and trendy when it comes to toys for the kids and young at heart. saw a lot of plush bears/puppies, and age appropriate educational toys. what's great about the store is they have a point system for every dollar spent. they may ask you to join and record your phone number so they can contact you if the items you're looking for is already available. looking forward in opening my first box of museum series Smiski!

They share their door with Frameworks and take up the right side of the store. They have an eclectic yet charming selection of Knick knacks, keepsakes, and tchotchkes to accompany their main business of personalized invitations, thank you's, and other stationary. I was greeted pleasantly as soon I walked in the door and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. The store was clean and well organized with plenty of room to move and look about. I overheard a customer in their rear-most space which is where they go over their personalized stationary. They are very thorough in going over how the customer wanted their particular piece to look. Overall it was a very pleasant stop and I found a lovely, unique birthday card and a new pen! Their gifts are on the more pricey side, but really, it is a gift shop and they have items at every price point. Would recommend.

They specialize in special print jobs, including invitations, but also personal monogramming of stationery. I really liked the selection of unique stationery and paper goods there. A friend who was shopping with me was taken with the assortment of magnets with interesting quotes on them and bought a couple during our visit. I also appreciated that they had gift cards that were printed with soy ink on recycled paper. They had several other gift items made with eco-friendly materials.
