    Really eclectic items. The bead strands are a bit pricey but selection is fantastic. I love the bowls of loose beads and spacers and these are what I stock up on when I visit. Make sure you sign up for the "bead card" if you're a frequent shopper. The staff is very friendly and helpful or they will just let you browse and pick out your own items. The Bead Merchant is also a great little gift shop, too, with fun jewelry and other funky items.

    Ida Red has to be the coolest local knick knack and schwag store I've ever been! I had a co-worker…read moreworking from our Tulsa office in town from Abilene and she wanted to know where she could go to find a cool Tulsa shirt for her husband and kiddo so I told her to check this place out. We went on our lunch break one day and I'm so glad I decided to go with her since I'd never been because there is so much cool stuff here! The selection of shirts here with everything from a simple Oklahoma logo to a funny saying about being an Okie or a Tulsan is quite impressive. As a typical souvenir shop, the knick knacks here range from keychains to cups to household items to local products like honey and such. I really enjoyed the selection of locally made items and the variety of colors all over the store. They sell beverages, candies, and other tasty looking items. There were several baby things so if you needed a baby shower gift or gift for a kid this would be a great place to check out. My family and friends that are from Tulsa and Oklahoma are pretty proud to be from here so realistically this is a great place for gifts in general. Would be a fun place to bring a kid too because of all the fun little candies and knick knacks. I have to say I knew they sold shirts here because I've seen people around Tulsa wearing shirts with the Ida Red logo on the back, but I had no idea what to expect when I showed up. The selection and variety did not disappoint! I will be back here for sure for gifts for others (and myself--treat yo self)!

    This Christmas found me needing a gift for someone that I didn't know a lot about (long story…read morethere), but it needed to be (a) special and (b) fairly unique. To that end, The Wife suggested we try Ida Red's, since what she knew about the place sorta jived with the vibe I was looking for. We made the trip in and man oh man, is there a lot to choose from. From cool to kitsch, from funny to puzzling, Ida Red's has it all. I will confess to Ida's not being the kind of place I would envision myself shopping at, but that's because I'm old, stodgy and a general curmudgeon. So I was pleasantly surprised and amused with Ida's. Overall, a really neat place with TONS of local craft merchandise. Now that I have a better idea of their offerings, I can plan a trip back, knowing what I'm looking for.

    Pros: this is where I go to pick up gifts for people I don't know well, but feel obligated to get…read morethem things. Think bosses, secretaries, children's teachers, etc. i usually end up wandering the store again and again until I settle on a random item. This places accepts credit cards and does complimentary gift wrapping. For my fiancé's secretary and schedulers during Christmas $50 candles. Packaging was divine and came in appropriate old lady scents. They raced about them. For my own bosses during the holidays, light up novelty tumblers and jars of chocolate chip cookies. On this occasion, I came to get a birthday gift for my boss. Personalized items are the best! You can get anything personalized. It shows the person that you took time to get it made, but can still be rather impersonal. Think personalized wine glasses or luggage. Cons: this location was close to my massage place so I came here. It doesn't have parking and I had to walk far to get here. Will definitely just stick to the location closer to my home.

    On a Whim is a must-stop when you are anywhere near Brookside!…read more I was so happy when they brought On a Whim to Tulsa and Brookside is the perfect place. On a Whim carries more up-scale designers. They have clothing, hand bags, shoes, jewelry, baby, and home accents. Also, one of my favorites, On a Whim is one of the few stores in Tulsa to carry Kendra Scott jewelry! The staff is very energetic and always willing to help. It is a very fun store. There is street parking along Peoria, but there is also a large lot behind the store. Again, it is somewhat expensive, but this is the place to find the designer brands. So, you should stop by, On a Whim!
