Very cute, little shop! This place might be the brightest and most positive shop I've ever been in. It's the opposite of what I typically go for, but I can appreciate it nonetheless. I have a few friends that would be absolutely in love with this place. Most of the pricings for items were pretty reasonable in my opinion. They have a lot of handmade items that are of nice quality and made by local artists. We love a place that promotes local! Good place for gifts or for cute non-souvenir looking souvenirs. read more

I'm always greeted by a friendly face at the counter! This is my absolute favorite place to buy birthday cards! I always like to buy a card and pair it with the super cute stickers they have! And if you're a hat wearer beware.....they have a super cute collection of baseball hats with cactus on them in an array of gorgeous colors. I need one in every color! This time I took my friend Camila who was visiting from Phoenix because she was in need of a birthday card and she loved the idea of pairing it with a few stickers! As we were checking out, I saw their new leather keychains! I just had to buy one! They have cute sayings and frankly, they just spoke to me. Love my new 2020 keychain! I'll post a picture of the one I purchased! I wish they had more T-shirts for women! Xoxo, Localdogmommegs read more

This whole idea is perfection. Celebrating the beauty of where you are is such a terrific thing and these people know how to do it! I love coming here for beautiful cards that really represent the southwest. Beautiful stickers showcasing the saguaros and desert dwellers we have. I even got my kids a fun card game, Go Cactus here. Speaking of kids- they have beautiful high quality shirts that come in both childrens and adult sizes. I think they also have onesies now, how cute. If you have not been to Why I Love Where I Live check it out. The MSA Annex has the goods. Word on the Street: I just heard these guys were moving to a larger facility still within the MSA Annex so look out for even more retail space from these guys in 2020! read more

This is an amazing store with great heart and mission behind it. It's located in the Annex, which has lots of cool stores and food... and it's super close to the Mercado which also has lots of great food. Our family likes food. WILWIL is full of great products that encourage gratitude, thankfulness and community engagement. How sweet is that? There are lots of cool, high quality shirts/ tanks in both adult and kids sizes. Hats, stickers, pins, greeting cards, toys, books, home decor and water bottles focused on life in Tucson/ Southern Arizona. This is a great store for both locals and visitors. If you haven't been to it, you need to check it out. And if you visit the last Friday of the Month through September you can stay for the Summer Night Markets! Lots of street parking around the area and there's also a Sun Link stop nearby as well. read more

Such a cute little shop. I went there while on vacation and found some amazing recipe books, t shirts and many other fairly priced trinkets that I gladly scooped up. The worker was friendly and it was in such a unique location. Would go back again! read more

The MSA Annex is a favorite spot to bring out-of-towners and to visit when we're in the neighborhood. The re-purposed shipping containers are unique and modern, and the shops are owned by locals. Why I Love Where I Live is on the east end of the Annex near Beaut Burger. Since WILWIL has opened, we have brought guests several times to select Tucson-themed stickers, t-shirts, hats, games, chocolates, you name it. We also have shown our love of Tucson with some shirts and books purchased here. Kristin, the owner, keeps the shop fun and fresh. If you don't know the story behind the shop or its mission, check it out on their website - https://www.whyilovewhereilive.com/thestory. read more

I've been following this store on Instagram for awhile. If you're not following them do it now! They're always posting cute new items for sale, which you can buy online too. The store itself is tiny, like all the stores in the Annex shopping center. They're all made of out shipping containers and very charming inside. Everything for sale is Arizona/Tucson themed and reasonably priced. I bought a sticker for $3 by a local artist. There are loads of cute stickers! There are also T-shirt's for $25, water bottles, pins, books, hats, patches and so much more. It's really a must see if you love all things Sonoran desert. It's a great store that supports local artists, inspires pride in Tucson, and invites those new to the desert to explore and learn. Support local. Live local. Check this store out! read more

Absolutely adorable store! Perfect for Tucson lovers, Arizona lovers, desert lovers. I came in to explore after eating at MSA Annex, and this shop was the best. Everything is desert or Arizona themed, from awesome stickers, water bottles, shirts, buttons, books, gifts! I really should have grabbed a handful of stickers (they are pricey at $3), but I was just there to browse. It's my biggest regret that I didn't grab anything to go home with me, to cover all my valuable possessions (aka my water bottle) but with my next Tucson visit, I'm going home with all the things from Why I Love Where I Live, and honestly, you should too. read more

Why I Love Where I Live is one of the stores available at MSN Annex. If you've had the chance to visit this place you are already familiar with the concept, if not... MSN Annex is a "plaza" or outside mall to call it something. This plaza is built entirely out of cargo containers. The place has a very industrial vibe to it but the businesses that are available here are all very chic and innovative. Why I love where I live is one of those businesses. This place has stickers, t-shirts, hats, stationary paper etc, kind of like a city's gift/souvenir shop. Everything in here is all about loving Tucson/Arizona, which I love, but what really sets this place apart is the actual items. Each and every one of them is a tribute to the city, not only that but for what I understand they were design by local artist. The logos are very minimalistic, but descriptive. You see something and right away think Tucson Arizona. Garments feel very organic. My boyfriend is all into the quality and feel of fabrics and he really loved the ones used on the hats and shirts. I think this little store is a must go to place whether you are from Tucson or just visiting from another place. I must say that I personally love that someone is taking the time to honor the city in such a fun and original way, and that at the same time this place is serving as a window for local designers and artist to show their work. read more

This little store is my favorite!!!!!! I've been in numerous times, buying gifts for family and friends. I own a few shirts and trucker hats and have bought numerous friend's kids shirts, too. It's a local treasure. If you are looking for unique local treats for friends, this is the spot. Their hats, patches, shirts, and coffee mugs are made extremely well, with fantastic Tucson/Arizona logos. This shop supports local artisans as well as events in the Tucson area. They have adorable onesies and kids t-shirts, as well as adult sized clothing. Owned by a wonderful people, this place is a must. read more

If you love Arizona then come to this store. Cutest items at good prices and the kindest staff EVER. I thoroughly enjoyed this store and all the items that represent my home state. There are beautiful magnets, stickers, pins, clothes and totes along with many other neat items. The guy that owns it is incredibly kind and so helpful. There was a shirt that I loved that wasn't at the store and he was kind enough to bring my size in the next day instead of requiring me to have it shipped to my current home in St. Louis. I will be coming back here every time that I come home for a visit! Definitely check it out! read more

Another successful event under Bella's belt so kudos to her because I know it was not easy in this heat! Why I love where I live is a cool and unique little shop where that showcases some of Tucson's local talent and gives a way to really represent where you're from. It is located in the MSA annex which is really cool and hip the only downside is that in Tucson it's so hot to be out but I'm sure I'm the cooler months it's gonna be one of the best places to hang out in the city. We really appreciate the cold drinks Bella we really needed them! Doma's Delights made a special appearance which was much appreciated I think she may have had the best bite of the night. We also got to try a spicy tuna hand roll from kukai and they also had a sea kelp option for the vegetarians. The drinks were greatly appreciated as well and provided by the westbound bar that makes all their drinks on tap! Like I said will definitely be back when our hot city cools down to check out all of the interesting shops. Thanks a ton Bella! read more

This story was filled to the brim with adorable, modern souvenirs. Not a traditional gift store Why I love Where I Live was more like a curated gift store after heading to the art museum. There were local greeting cards, shirts, stickers, pins centered around Arizona and Tucson, but also had other items. I loved it - I highly recommend it if you are in the area. read more

Pricey but so cute! Great selection of really adorable gifts. I had no idea where to go for unique, non-tacky Tucson souvenirs and I am so glad I found this place.
