They have so many different themed merch like tv shows, Harry Potter, Hello Kitty, Care Bares, Mulang, Mario, and a billion things that I don't know about. I went here before Valentine's Day and ended up finding a Super Mario Fire stuffy for my hubby. He loves it! They also had very unique and funny cards! They have tons of candy of every variety. I found ring pop gummies here & my husband ate them in a day. Tons of toys & stuffed animals. One thing I will say is their prices were a bit high. But I imagine with cost of operation these days it makes sense and I am in a spot where I can support this small business (reasonably). It is a super fun store. Use caution bringing a small child into this store, as there will be several things within their reach and they will probably want to get their hands on everything. I honestly wouldn't bring a kid younger than 8 or 9 in this store. If you need gift inspiration, come to this cute store!

The kids were really excited to start the spooky season and get some costume inspiration for the…read moreyear so we drove out pretty far to this location since it was one of the first ones open in metro Detroit. It was a bit hard to find. The place it was showing on the map was sort of the opposite place it ended up being. It showed that it was around Ikea and Black Rock, but instead it was on the other side of the expressway in an unmarked building with limited signage. But finally we did arrive. Not all of the displays were working yet or filled, but as stated, it is a bit early into the season. It was a decent size store filled with a lot of the full seasonal merch. I am sure we will be back to make some final decisions when it gets closer to Halloween, but for now we were just window shopping. My child almost bought a mug, but wanted to wait and see if a greater selection was available before committing her hard earned money. Fun place. Quite a few customers were also eager to shop around early.

I was in search of a 1920's headdress and gloves. The store had ample parking and was clean, but it did seem rather small inside. Things were not super clearly organized and it took me a little time to find what I was looking for. The selection was ok but not great. There were a lot of scary costumes and accessories if that's what you're looking for. Needing a few items for my kids, I found the child costume section, which was definitely anemic. I would recommend buying kids things elsewhere. Other than a handful of branded costumes, and many candy buckets, there wasn't much else. They were well staffed, though, with nice associates and once I found what I needed, I was in and out rather quickly.

A-1 Rental saved the day!…read more My daughter was scheduled to have her bat mitzvah in December. In Michigan. During a global pandemic. But this date had been scheduled for years, and changing it was not in the cards. Once the vaccines were available, including the ones for younger kids and boosters, we were cautiously optimistic about holding a smaller event indoors. Then the specter of Omicron raised its ugly head, and we reconsidered the wisdom and safety of pulling off such an event. With less than two weeks before the event, we decided to pivot and try to move it into a tent in our yard. In December. In Michigan. A-1 Rental was able to make it happen! Some other tent company told me they wouldn't even try to put up a tent in December. But A-1 sent a crew to my house to check out the property, assessed the largest tent they could pitch, and gave me a list of things to do before it could safely be installed. Namely that was to call Miss Dig and cut down a low hanging branch. The sales team was great and hooked me up with everything I needed, and maybe even things that I didn't need but I really wanted. They said one tent heater would be sufficient, but I wanted two. Plus I wanted a crap ton of extra propane tanks to run those bad boys. I have to say, tent heaters are magnificent! They kept us toasty in a tent that was well ventilated on a below freezing December afternoon. The day before our event, the setup team came within the scheduled window. Consulted with me about where everything should go, and got the heaters working. Actually, one wasn't working, but they sent another team to fetch a new one. The day of the event, one of the heaters still wasn't working, but a new crew came with a functional replacement. I don't think our guests even knew anything happened. We got to keep the tent for the whole weekend, which was rad. The propane supply held out. And the pickup crew took everything away as scheduled. No muss. No fuss. For those concerned about how everything worked out from a COVID perspective, we required everyone over five to be vaccinated, and provided rapid tests so everyone could check the morning of the event if they were contagious. We even sent some additional tests home with folks so they could retest before returning to their families. Everyone returned happy and healthy! And we could not have pulled this off without A-1. Thank you for the speedy turnaround and for working with this needy father on the verge of panic.
