My momma raised me right. When ever you get a gift, you send a thank-you card. I recently celebrated the 32nd Anniversary of my 29th Birthday and received some very special and unique gifts. So in turn, I thought it was only appropriate that I send some very special and unique cards. Hallmark was not an option. I needed the best from a local source, so I headed over to, The Firecracker Press. The variety of note with STL themes were nice. However, I found two cards that were designed as a Thank-you card and they served my purpose very well. I did see other cards that caught my eye and I will return for another occasion. Then to my surprise, when I got home and reached into my bag. TFP had given me a little thank-you postcard. It entitled me to 10% off on my next web purchase. I'm more of a brick and mortar shopper, but to save 10%, I can shop the web. Will I return? - Yes, here and the web. When: November 17, 2017 Why: Thank-you Cards read more

I've been to Firecracker Press a handful of times now and I have to say they're retail is amazing. Not only do you feel like a hip-youth just from walking in, you're going to find stuff you want. They're sort of like the paper version of STL-Style. Get ready to spend some money because the have prints of all shapes, sizes, and kinds. It's the perfect place for gifts and to treat yo self. I have the Tower Grove Park Print and have my eye on their Grand Center one. The colors are gorgeous on it. Everytime I go in here I want something new. Check it out! read more

Cool designs. However, the most shocking lack of customer service in re: an expired gift certificate. Dude had the audacity to look at it (it WAS ragged but had expiration date on) and say "this is 15 years old!". No offer for discount, etc. Bad juju! On the heels of a shut down and a beautiful day to explore the neighborhood, we'll, took the wind out of my sail. Needless to say, I won't venture back into this joint. read more

I always enjoy visiting Firecracker Press to check out their latest prints and designs. The colorful and unique artwork fills their little shop on Cherokee Street. Many of the creations have a St. Louis theme to them and are printed in poster form, or as calendars, coaster, stationery and just about any form that can possibly be printed. I've got several prints hanging in my house and wouldn't mind having a few more. This is the perfect place to shop for a unique gift for the artsy person in your life. 5 stars for a small independent business with local flavor! read more

Why doesn't Firecracker have more reviews? They have worked hard to make their wares seen all over town. I'm certain that tons of folks have seen their 2-4 color posters for shows around town. They have great design sensibilities and their stuff is always high quality. Come during a Cherokee Street event and see the presses in action! if you're looking for good local art or would like custom posters, stationary, etc. done - this is a great choice. read more

Firecracker Press does some incredible work. As artists, they're unparalleled around town -- nobody makes a better poster, I don't think. They make all sorts of incredible items: cards, posters, tags, books, pamphlets, and more, and it's rare to find something there that hasn't been made with the utmost artistry. That being said, I feel so-so about their store. The employees have often been ever-so-slightly standoffish and occasionally border on rude, even last time, when I dropped over $50 on the stuff. It's been a little frustrating and makes me feel a little unwelcome. Nevertheless, these guys have a right to have attitude -- they've earned it. And although Firecracker Press products are not cheap, neither is the work they do. I will continue to visit, shop, and enjoy. read more

I'm kind of a design geek. I've been known to pick up books based on cover design alone (I know, I know...I've found myself inadvertently reading young adult fiction as a result and I feel like I've been burnt by this experience enough that you don't need to scold me). So when it comes to making a good impression with my correspondence, good visuals are a must. Et voila! Firecracker Press! Only the most lovely of letterpressed sundries for your loved ones! The storefront has only helped to step up their game and provide a home for other local artists to showcase their wares. Eric Woods also does fantastic custom jobs. Their concert posters are fun and cute without being cloying and I contemplate stealing every one I see in public. Eric also sat down with me and my fiance for literally hours in the planning of our wedding invitations. He understands the desire to set the tone for an event, and did an amazing job. His attention to detail and creativity is impressive, to say the least. And all of my invitees so far have been duly impressed...by our good judgment in vendors, naturally. Of course, this is all a little more expensive than your average Kinko's job, but if you believe in supporting local businesses it's totally reasonable. And honestly, in looking at other letterpress vendors they charged about the same without doing custom design jobs, so keep that in mind. read more

I found a great print for my Nephew's house warming gift and order some cards for myself. They shipped so fast and were packed with great care. All the items looked great on the web but are even better in person! Amazing colors. Great art at a great price and easy to order and enjoy read more

i took one of the classes offered at firecracker, letterpress printing. i wanted to state for everyone that if they have even a notion of interest in these classes, sign up! the instructor matty was amazing, letting me do my own thing 100% but always there to help and give advice. if i had my ducks in a row i coulda come out of that class with 4-5 completed projects. 5 weeks isnt a long time and i underestimated it. worth the price for the access to their equipment and education overall. thank you firecracker! ill probably be back for another class. read more

Wandered in this weekend during a visit to Cherokee and was amazed that I hadn't ever heard of this place. Awesome prints with clever slogans made on an authentic printing press by cool people. It's worth checking out just to see the space. They have a ton of reasonably priced prints. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood. The one tricky part is that they're usually only open on Saturdays. read more

Nice local made art prints; the new location is bigger but this one might be more charming. Great little Mexican restaurants in the area too. read more
