They also have cute cards for special occasions, which I've purchased a few times when I need something quickly. The only thing to consider is that it's pricey. Which can be expected because it's a small shop and it's in Greenpoint. So if you have the money to spend, it's a great local business to support.

People were trying on clothes and if they didn't put it exactly back she would walk by them and say "people don't know how to put their shit back". She was extremely rude and very passive aggressive. Again I love Lockwood and everything it stands for but she was very unprofessional especially as a worker who I have seen there for a long time.

During COVID-19 as of December 2021:…read more Souvenir is a locally "hidden" shop on the cusp of Greenpoint into Williamsburg. It isn't easily noticed but is located next to a local favorite establishment of mine for matcha. When I eyed this gift shop, they offered various items that I like in comparable higher end gift shops in NYC/Brooklyn: locally made jewelry, glassware, home goods, puzzles, candles, apothecary items, and much more aesthetically pleasing merchandise. I do wish they had more ceramic items like espresso cups and mugs. Overall, they have many fun and beautifully curated merchandise, whether gifting for a family or friend or possibly yourself. The other cool factor about Souvenir is that some of the items sold here, such as their dog toys and leashes, are made ethically conscious and give back to the community when purchased. For that reason, all the better to support a positive woman-owned small businesses. Accepts cash, card, and Applepay. Staff was friendly and more than happy to help. Masks inside. Swipe that card!

There are plenty of pens, notebooks, fountain pen ink, it's an endless stationary heaven. It's awesome because you can try out all the pens they have and even test out fountain pen ink. I had so much fun testing out some pens, and swatching fountain pen ink. For fountain pen ink, they have organized binders for swatched ink, which is so helpful because there is so much to choose from! I could stay in that store forever. I ended up buying two fountain pen inks, which I love so much and use in my journal. The quality of their products are amazing and i'm already planning to come back very soon :)

When you walk in you can select the type of jewelry youd like to make. You have a selection of bracelets, necklaces, Keychains and wine charms - all are reasonably priced. They have a range of sterling silver and gold coated jewelry. Even a selection of bracelets that can be cut to size. You get a little tray and put all the charms youd like on your jewelry. The variety of charms is impressive - anything from landmarks to disney characters. Once you have your charms you bring to the ladies and they take some time to assemble and size up and build your jewelry. They do offer repair services. Due to the nature of the business you do have to wait or make appointments but the service is wonderful.

This is my first time at the Brooklyn location and I really liked the zen vibes and minimalistic decor. I prefer a more earthy, grassy matcha (aka the uji) but I wanted to switch it up and went for the nishio in a hot cortado format. It was indeed very creamy and floral. I also got to try the yame matcha latte with oat milk. The yame itself is advertised to be more nutty and the oat milk definitely amplified it. Both drinks had really well mixed matchas with a good milk ratio respectively. While I would give their matcha and location a 5, I dropped it to 4 for this particular location due to their service. I'm not sure what didn't click but we had so much trouble trying to order the usucha matcha. We tried the name usucha twice and even tried alternative names like the short serving. She said a bunch of things but didn't really explain if it wasn't available or had other recommendations. We gave up and went for the yame matcha instead. Again solid matcha drinks and cute space but my experience with staff would be better next time!

I didn't end up grabbing anything, but I'm still thinking about some of the mugs I saw inside. They have a flower bar at the back which was interesting to me, but I didn't partake this time around. I picked up their hot "Pumpkin, pumpkin latte" and was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't recommend it to the espresso purist, but I thought it tasted lovely and was perfect for a stroll through Greenpoint on the first snow day in NYC this winter. They also offered some pastries but I'm a butter purist and they were vegan, so I did not partake. This isn't a sit down shop by any means, it's definitely a place to stop in then keep it moving. I see they have a back patio but this wouldn't be the best time of year to explore it.

Why not order them in Amazon, but why should I? The way Lockwood displays their stationary is just so tempting not to buy a few. The candle selection is good quality. I bought one called "Sinner" and for the size my home smells great. I wish they can bring more esoteric items and place them all in one place. That would be cool. The associate at the register was really nice and cheerful. Can anyone guess the next time I drop by again?
