Cute little shop. Lots of little things like pins, ornaments, candles and stickers. A lot to look at. I was hoping for more Pittsburgh stuff but wasnt impressed by their selection, actually almost boutique. But they did open my eyes to Yingzilla! Appreciated my visit but left empty handed. read more

Wild Card - Ornaments - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I absolutely love this store! It's the quintessential Knick knack and gift store. I love the random things I come out with that I didn't know I needed, from funky bok choy earrings to art prints and mugs. Definitely a great place to find a gift and your Pittsburgh merch! Prices range from low to high too depending on what you get, but overall, I love supporting a local business and the staff is always friendly! read more

This place was amazing! Very well merchandised and so many great gifts for anyone and everyone in your family. They had beautiful cards and other stationary along with Pittsburgh local prints. Prices were spot on. I had to restrain myself from buying up the whole store. I visited on a Saturday so there were a lot of people in the store and not as many employees. The employees were congregated by the register, so they were easy to find. Once I was able to get to the register, they were very helpful in helping me find what I was looking for. A must stop! read more

This store is so cute!! In addition to cards there are so many other knickknacks, including games, stickers, mugs, keychains, local art, reusable bags, jewelry and more. I would describe the vibe as an in person Etsy shop. I didn't buy anything though because the prices are way too steep in my opinion... $18 for an earring dish tray *sigh* read more

This shop just screams Lawrenceville: A store full of trinkets and gifts that are hip, cool, often woke and/or Pittsburgh themed, and definitely more expensive than they would be based on functionality alone. I work in the area and my co-workers and I often come in just to browse and laugh at the funky stuff on display. It's a very fun way to spend our lunch hour! I've also actually bought some stuff, as have my co-workers, including: a bath bomb, a little quick-dry towelette that works perfectly for kitchen use, a 3-pack of beeswax covers for food storage, a Yinzer t-shirt for someone new to the city, a booklet of Mr. Rogers' sayings, and others I am probably forgetting. Writing this review in April, I'm also eyeing their extensive Mother's Day card selections for next month. I could go on and on making a list of oddities in this store. Suffice to say that if you need a fun gift, a Pittsburgh-themed addition to your household, or just an enjoyable browsing experience, come here. About 95% of the stuff in this store is stuff you look at and say 'haha, oh would you look at that, so cute.' Just don't look too closely at the price tags. read more

Cutest card and gift shop in pgh! They have an awesome sticker selection and so many unique trinkets you never knew you needed. I go here anytime I need a card or small gift for a friend and love taking friends from out of town here when they visit. read more

Omg. If I lived in Pittsburgh, this would be my go-to spot for gifts. I bought two fun magnets, a silly raccoon sticker, and a really cute pair of earrings. AKA quite a variety of gifts, probably something in there for most people below the age of 40-50 or at least for the young-at-heart. Cute card selection as well, with lots of local Pittsburgh options. Not cheap but very reasonable. read more

Wild Card - Sticker bought at Wild Card - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Stopped in today as I always do when I'm in Lawrenceville. Got a few greeting cards which are a must and a few stickers and other bric-a-brac. Staff is always so nice and friendly and their selection is wonderful! read more

EXCELLENT selection of cards and gifts! The Pittsburgh-themed items were super cute and unique. The best (and only!) pierogi-themed stuff ever - go figure!!! read more

Very cool store for collectors! My boyfriend (and I to a lesser extent) are Funko collectors. They had a decent selection, we each found one we wanted. They also have another store and an eBay so you can always be on the lookout for the hard to find ones. They had loads of comics and other memorabilia. A fun nerd store with great service! read more

This is a great card and gift store right on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. I often times forget how spoiled I am to have this place right down the street. I can stop in for literal last minute gifts any time of the year. The shop has great handmade cards for every occasion. There are so many funny ones that make me laugh out loud. Everytime I'm in there, the quirky and punny gifts crack me up. I like the kitchen gift items like cookbooks, mugs, cocktail napkins, wine glasses etc that they have. Also the funny pot holders and oven mitts! In the back they have a selection of candles, kids toys, wrapping paper, planners, and more. It really is a hodge podge of awesome gifts that you won't find anywhere else. They have really nice and affordable jewelry in the glass case where the cashier is. I always look, but have never purchased any of the jewelry. Masks are required and it can get busy in this little store. Try to go on a weekday if you can (especially around the holidays). I stopped in the other day to check out their selection of holiday cards, and they had so many that were in packs. The cards are more expensive than a big box store, but it is nice to find unique products and support local. The ladies working are always so sweet. I really am lucky to have Wild Card in my neighborhood. read more

This is a great little shop if you are looking for a unique gift or card. I highly recommend stopping in if you get the chance!

I had this shop on my list, but then happened on it by accident. The staff was very helpful in assisting me with my transactions, and I was able to find gifts for several people, including me! I was surprised to find Pilot fountain pens here, as well as a variety of bottled inks. I ended up coming back a second time for more purchases the same day! read more

I came into wild card because it is so close to my house it is usually my go-to place for cards and gifts. I have even recently bought some jewelry a unique ring for myself. While a little expensive it was my birthday so I splurged. Wild Card really does have everything you could need for a quick gift and for cards. Their candle selection is also on point. You can spend many of minutes sniffing and smelling the different candles they have in stock. I was looking for some unique gifts for kids and I was not disappointed. They have onesies and t-shirts with a Pittsburgh Focus as well as little simple gifts that are unique. I am never disappointed by the size and selection that they have. And the art work and just art pieces they have appeal to children as well as adults. There were a few times that I wished I could fit into a onesie because they are just so adorable. They also have some political mugs that caught my attention. Nothing warms my heart like a mug with Ruth Bader Ginsburg face on it. There were also mugs with Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton. Well not everyone's bag it really made me feel happy and I bought a few as gifts. I like my neigborhood store. It's perfect to pick up just a little something something. Stop in and bask in their majesty. read more

This place is a must-see in my book - it's one of my favorite places to visit when I need cards or unique gifts. The cards here are just darling and often quite funny, making the store a perfect go-to if the standard cards you find at the average drugstore just aren't doing it for you. And let's be honest - mainstream cards are often pretty snooze worthy. I tend to skip the drugstore shopping and go straight to Wild Card as a result, as I know a purchase here will include much more personality. Even if you're not looking for that perfect birthday card, though, you should stop in to see if you can find the perfect bonus gift. Wild Card always had a great collection of adorable t-shirts (for all ages!), Pittsburgh books and buttons, kids books, shot glasses, candles, jewelry...and more - there are truly more knick knacks than I can count. Even better, Wild Card sells gift paper to round out your shopping. The place truly can potentially be a one-stop shop if you're preparing for a birthday or other party. The staff have always been sweet when I've visited as well; I've never been on the hunt for such a specific item that I needed help, but I'd definitely feel comfortable asking for it if I needed it. Skip the drugstore and skip Hallmark next time you're shopping - try Wild Card instead. They're a fantastic local alternative, and I always love coming here to see what sorts of handmade goodies are available that weren't here last time! read more

I absolutely love this store. I have too many favorite items that I have bought here including handmade earrings from California, stickers that I have kept for myself and gifted for people, and most recently I bought a print for some decoration in my house. I didn't buy the frame with the print because it was a little cheap looking for the price. Regardless, I can always count on this place to have beautiful items for myself or as a gift for others and I will definitely bring visitors to Pittsburgh here for a souvenir or three. read more

What's not to love about this shop? Unique and fun items from handmade cards to little knick knacks and everything in between. I've found some of the most perfect cards here. It's really important to me that I give a card of meaning to someone. Most especially for special occasions. I also feel the art of letter writing is a beautiful way to connect with others. Wild Card has a wonderful selection of stationary for just such a project. read more

Wild Card is a fun gift shop filled with various type of cards, shirts, random knick-knacky type of gifts and of course, stationary. While Pittsburgh is also home to Kards Unlimited, I feel like Wild Card has a more organized and homey vibe. It's smaller and more easier to navigate through. Being that it's smaller it has less options naturally, but still has much to choose from. They have a huge selection of Pittsburgh t-shirts because one can never have too many shirts to show their love for the 412. They also sell some really cool Pittsburgh postcards which I made sure to grab along the way. The staff is really friendly and they told me that some of their items can be purchased online should you not be able to find it in stores. read more

I stepped into Wild Card while waiting for a table at Condado across the street, and I still can't stop thinking about how great of a decision it was. Stepping into this shop was like being transported into a magical world full of knick knacks and specialty items. This store has everything you need to buy souvenirs, decorate an office or home, and everything else you could need. T-shirts, mugs, cards, pins, keychains and a bunch of other things. I could have spent hours roaming the store, but sadly I only had 20 minutes to peruse. I think the best part about this place is that every time you you look around you notice a different item. I purchased a couple items for friends and family members back home. I'll be back to pick up more items in the near future! read more

I adore this store so much! I discovered them during Lawrenceville's annual blossom tour this year and haven't been able to get enough of them since! Wildcard specializes in cards but they are so much more than cards! The cards they have are so unique- all from small local and /or independent businesses! Most are blank but with unique and adorable pictures/quotes on the front. They have journals, unique journals, dolls from the kreepy doll factory, wooden postcards, vintage postcards, zombie finger puppets... A little bit of everything! Literally! Yes it's all a little pricey, but they support local businesses and unknown artists... How awesome is that? Therefore I support them. I would rather purchase a $5 hand made card from here than a highmark card anyday. Make sure to follow them on Instagram! They have giveaways and contests randomly and are always posting their awesome new products! Definitely worth a drive over to lawrenceville! :) read more

When we lived in Pittsburgh I loved stopping in just to look around but I never left empty handed! They were always getting new cool inventory! I've bought mugs, puzzles, stickers, magnets, tee shirts, and so lil pierogi onesies! Now that we're out of state they are still my absolute favorite to order gifts from! They have a nice section where you can be very specific with your needs notes, gift wrap etc and they're so kind and accommodating! You can find something for everyone there! It's truly a gem in Pittsburgh! read more

This is such a cute shop and wonderfully curated! I go here when I need a card, a gift, an art print, or just when I feel like treating myself to something nice! I have bought many art pieces, greeting cards, tchotchkes, and Pittsburgh-centric items from here and never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and they offer free wrapping services which is a cute extra touch! Also during the pandemic they put essentially their entire shop up online which was amazing and I will continue to use even if I'm not in Pittsburgh. read more

We get all of our cards here. Way more personal than hallmark, and cute art/gifts as well. Definitely recommend!

One of my favorite stores in Pittsburgh! Super cute and always has great and fun products.

Whenever I'm stumped on gifts to get for people, I go to Wildcard and somehow find the best gifts for everyone. There's lots of Pittsburgh centric items, as well as cool, quirky finds and feministy things. Think mugs, t-shirts, books, jewelry, aprons, patches, stickers, etc. And of course, lots of indie greeting cards. If you ever miss out on Handmade Arcade or an I Made It Market type of event, this place is probably the best substitute around. I spent 20 minutes at Wildcard the other day and found gifts for four different people. Not just bland, generic gifts, but things that had character and made me go, oh, that's perfect for so and so! Just go already! read more

"Cute" would be operative word here. You're all thinking I'm too gruff for reviewing Wildcard, eh? You're saying to yourselves, "Now why did Darren W. even go to Wildcard?" III hearrr youuuu... I was wandering the glistening, wet streets of Lower Lawrenceville Friday night before trekking across the 40th Street Bridge for another few hours of heavy metal merriment when I realized that I'd never been on the other side of Wildcard's door before. With nothing better to do for about an hour or so, I cautiously wandered in, my workboots making the wooden floor squeal slightly. Meticulously curated, stores like Wildcard have me remorseful over doing my card shopping at chains such as the now ubiquitous Hallmark shops, as well-stocked with trinkets and (even candy!) as they may be. While I think Shadyside's Kards Unlimited is a more expansive and therefore superior type of business, Wildcard holds its own against the corporate giants by keeping much of their merchandise local and eccentric. Alright, I'll come clean. Wildcard IS a tad girlish for a guy like myself to be frequenting often. To me, Kards Unlimited feels like a large variety/novelty store combined with Eide's or Groovy. I could get lost gawking at action figures and graphic novels at KU without giving a whit about their greeting card selection. Wildcard, on the other hand, is more concentrated and card-centric. It's a place I should take Kay to sometime just so I can listen to her squeak and coo over the all too precious items they have on display, things that have already been documented by other Yelp reviewers. I did almost purchase an octopus tentacle for my finger, however. Between Wildcard, an equally quirky cousin in Divertido on the opposite end of Butler Street, and the gruesomely geeky House of the Dead across the road (a review is comin'), folks shouldn't have trouble finding a gift for the ones they care about, be they oddalls or middle-of-the-roaders. read more

Just banged out 100% of my holiday shopping at Wildcard. Magnificent array of cards and gifts for the Pittsburgher and non-Pittsburgher alike (I am a non-Pittsburgher). Will be back every time I'm in tahn. Thoughtful, friendly, creative. Oh my yellow heart. read more

Wildcard has become my go-to place for cards, stationary, and unique gifts. It's an absolute must-visit in Lawrenceville! The shop itself is really cute, and every time I go I always find something new that I want to purchase. The cards, albeit expensive, are extremely different and adorable, and totally worth it in my opinion. I've reached a point in my life where I would rather spend a couple dollars extra on a hand-made, unique card than just buying one of those boring $3 cards at any old drugstore. I know that my friends and family always appreciate the special cards I send them from Wildcard. I also always enjoy looking at all the gifts and trinkets Wildcard has for sale, such as mugs, candles, and books. They also have a nice selection of Pittsburgh-type gifts if you're looking for a souvenir from the city, as well as a selection of gifts for babies/children which is nice. Even if you're not looking for a card or gift for a specific occasion, it's still fun to just come to Wildcard and peruse everything. Odds are you'll find something amazing! read more

Wild Card - Some of the fun gifts for sale at Wildcard. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place is filled with unique, random and unusual items. It's a fun gift shop appealing to just about anyone. I always seem to leave with a handful of new items every time I visit. They have everything from pins and patches to kitchenware to greeting cards to shirts to kids toys and everything in between. The stop also sells local and handmade items and pieces as well.. they also have fun Pittsburgh themed items beyond the usual sports teams. The staff are welcoming and friendly as well. Overall a great little shop in the Lawrenceville area! read more

Bumping this up to five stars. I recently stopped in looking for a card for a special occasion. After browsing the selection on the shelf and not being able to spot the perfect card I asked the employee working that day if there were any cards that had a cupcake on them. The employee did a quick search on the racks and showed me one I overlooked. Wasn't impressed by it and as I stood there contemplating whether or not I was really going to purchased that card, the employee was busy doing a search. The employee went to where they store cards. The employee pulled out the perfect cupcake card and saved the day. As I was paying and about to leave I just had to let them know how much I enjoyed their store and helpful they are. Ever so humble, the employees thanked me and just reminded me to keep coming back. read more

This is gift shop heaven. There are such treasures here, including lots of handmade and local goodies. This is a great place to shop for that wonderfully weird person in your life. There's a decent card selection and I love all the pretty wrapping paper options. My only complaint (that's not really a complaint) is, when I go into this store in hopes of finding a gift for someone, I always find one item (or two or six) that I absolutely have to have for myself. So I always end up spending way more than I plan on spending. read more

loved this store. great items. I resell on EBay FlippingYinzers. check out my video. pittsburge has so much to offer. great store will shop again. read more

I stumbled across this shop while killing time and was so glad I did! I've been putting together a package for a friend overseas and found the best little trinkets and cards here! Everything seems so original and cute! The best kind of little pins, card, and notepads to send as my friend loves these types of things. It is a little pricy but worth it. I'll definitely be returning. read more

I truly adore all of Pittsburgh's cozy local card shops, but Wild Card is a stand-out favorite. It's one of the savory small businesses that give Lawrenceville it's funky flavor, and it's one of the must-go stops when I'm in the neighborhood. Each and every item is a treasure; all are either locally crafted or carefully selected for the the shop. Here, you can find : Enamel pins, fun iron-on patches, neighborhood themed candles, dozens of types of ribbon by the yard, working bird-call necklaces, unique patterned craft paper, and, naturally, CARDS. Pittsburgh-y cards, hip cards, hilarious cards, folksy cards, bookish cards, ALL THE CARDS. I come in for a pick-me-up on dreary days. This shop is like happiness on cardstock.

Wild Card - Cutest handmade clocks! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped in here on my cookie tour and was amazed at all the people I saw in here. Moreover, I was amazed myself when I saw all the different items you can buy someone for the holidays. Yes, they even had a book on Hanukkah which you normally would not find in this section of the city. You can find all sorts of cards, wrapping paper, books, pictures, scarves, etc. just to name a few. They really have a vast assortment of things you don't see in other stores. I came across a sock monkey scarf and I'm a real fan of the sock monkey. The saleslady told me that it was handmade of cotton and machine washable. The staff were both friendly and helpful and I was truly amazed at their selection. I love to support small businesses and got a cookie to boot! This place is definitely a must if you are looking for something different even if it is a card to that someone you want to give a gift for the holiday season. read more

Wild Card is the perfect spot for Pittsburgh-themed gifts or art from local artists. Cards, artwork, wrapping paper, books, t-shirts, unique items, and more. I've purchased many wedding gifts here, gifts for friends who have moved away from Pittsburgh, and they are certainly my go-to for cards - birthday, weddings, babies, engagements, mother's day, etc. Even better they'll gift wrap your item for free, which is always a huge relief to me. My wife and I also had them design our Wedding invitations - which to their credit, they made several iterations per her request and were incredibly affordable. Staff is always pleasant and there is a constant flow of customers in their store which is great. read more
