    This is another store i hadn't been for in 7 years since the pandemic. Itsinside the Olney Town…read moreVillage Square Center in Olney , Maryland near the intersections of Olney Laytonsville Road, Olney Sandy Spring Road, And Georgia Avenue.in. its nit that far from TJ MAXX And Olney Beer And Wine Store . This plave is onto the big hill from the other stores nit far from IHOP and other stores. The parking lit this lace has needs repaving soon . As you walk in you see a lit of different items in there such as apparel , mugs, Organic Jams , Stuffed animals on racks . Theu have gift bags , And present wrapping paper for holidays and other occasions. They have all sorts of gifts even kids toys and games and so much more their religious statues and figurines and so many others things . They even have hallmark cards for every holiday occasions and more. But yhey should in the future carry DVDS of the hallmark movie channel to seek therecto for the future . We should as Americans and patrons and customers should cme back there and protect stores like these whole they exist . These stores of hallmark are nearly extinct due to the internet and the stupid Republicans who are holding out cihntry hostage wirh their crimes against us Americans. What happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful inexcusable unprofessional Reprehensible , Disrespectful, And wrong. Behaviors of the past thst all of us Americans did we are all guilty. We have a chance to redeem ourselves and prove we are the better men. This is our time to prove it . We need to come back together as Americans out away our pettiness and differences fir good we need to fone back together as a community to this store to get the very things we love and appreciate the staff who work there to give the things us communities and Americans want there . Let put business back where it belings again . These hallmark stores are really unique and one of a kind places to ge at with community and family oriented atmosphere. You don't get that everyday like you used too . If you love his stre as I do , This place is for you. We all look forward to seeing you all there very soon once again . Have a shopping family for everyone . My voyages and Adventures are far from over .

    This is now Norman's Hallmark as of this Fall (2025)…read more I needed to get a few cards and wanted to do some browsing as well. I noticed the "Just Because" cards are no longer small. Nice. They have some cute holiday decorations - think snow globes, but better. I got a pair of socks to keep my feet warm this winter and used as many coupons I had for any extras I got. Lately I have been missing out on putting them to good use. So, it felt good on this day. Service is always great here.

    Saw this posted on their social media page: Fill-A-Bag special with up to 5 items and get 20% off…read morethe whole bag. It was for 1 day and all I was planning to get were the Hammond chocolates they carry. Their store stayed busy with patrons, and they also had an assistant helping throughout the store - I have seen her on a previous visit. She is very helpful. However, on this day I already knew what I wanted. As soon as I entered, I grabbed a bag. They provide the bags at the counter for this special. It is a small paper bag about 8.5 x 11 inches or so. Here is what I added to my bag initially: * A few of the Hammond's chocolates - most of my favorites were out, so I grabbed two Candy Cane Crunch described as Dark Chocolate with Hammond's Peppermint Frost. It is good, but not one of my favorites. * Orange Blossom Honey Hand and Body Lotion from the brand "The Naked Bee". It smells so good and smooth on the skin. * A bag of Jimmy's Crab Dip Potato Chips - it was my first time seeing this brand of chips here. Usually they carry the brand "My Dad's Chips" which are good too. These Crab Dip potato chips were so good that I wished there were more in the bag. To my surprise, when I go to check out, I am informed that 20 percent does not include food. Well, that sucks. So, I removed one of the food items from my bag and decided to treat one of my family members to an early holiday gift. Hopefully, they like what I got them.

    Thursday 2/15/2024…read more This place was brought to my attention due to its ice cream but it was more than that. The family room is a local based gift shop that sells plenty of things like baked goods, ice cream, chocolate bars, books, juices, soaps, candles, art, and much much more. The workers make sure you are welcomed and are happy to help with anything you need. I ended up getting a cinnamon roll $6, brownie $6, a s'mores choclate bar $4.50, and a 'C is for cookie' (pre packed) ice cream pint $7.49. The cinnamon roll and brownie come from Ella's bake shop and they surprised me. The cinnamon roll gave me low expectations based on how it looked but I was highly impressed to say the least. I had the cinnamon roll at room temperature & warmed it up and it very was good, I would definitely get it again. The brownie also gave me low expectations based on looks but yet again I was impressed. The brownie was good: moist and had chocolate chips in it. The s'mores chocolate bar came from Hammonds and it was alright but overpriced in my opinion. When it comes to the ice cream they have fresh ice cream available and ice cream pre packed. I ended up sampling C is for cookie (cookies n cream + cookie dough), vanilla, and chocolate. C is for cookie ended up being my favorite of the 3 so I decided to get a prepacked pint of it which was a noticeable dip in taste & texture compared to the fresh ice cream I had before but I know better next time. The family room is a nice find that I would recommend and would return to for the delicious baked goods & FRESH ice cream.
