Great selection from local artists and artisans - candles, soaps, jewelry, wall art, coasters, and more. Friendly and helpful, very reasonable prices.

Walking past this store - something caught my eye - and I had to go in for a closer look. What it…read morewas that caught my eye were bonsai trees - and for once - you could tell that they weren't just regular bushes trimmed up quickly to resemble a bonsai, but these were grown over time - neatly trimmed and molded into something really special and unique. Interestingly though - they were not all that expensive for what you got. However - the bonsai were not the only thing that caught my eyes. I was soon looking over an endless selection of items - ranging from down right unique and interesting to typical marital arts paraphernalia. And just as amazing as the selection was the price. No matter what I looked at - the price was as amazing as the item itself and though some of these things I've only seen in high prices gift shops - these prices were anything but high priced. In addition to the selection of merchandise - the man tending to the shop was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and genuine. If I lived closer I would have signed up for some classes. I'm sure the recipient of our gifts purchased here will smile and hopefully they will too visit the store and get me something there as well. The store was nicely stocked, clean and had the variety I needed. Because I cannot think of one thing that they could improve upon - other then maybe opening a shop up in Silver Creek - I give this my 5 star!

The lines were very long this last Saturday because they were having a giveaway but it didn't take too long to get out of there. The items are pricy but they're worth it to me. You get what you pay for and it shouldn't fall apart right away.

Bflo is a pretty awesome gift shop with all things Buffalo on sale, more than you can imagine. Basically has everything you can imagine from the Buffalo area. I'm a big fan of these stores and all of them have cool, innovative stock, and the only reason I don't usually give 5 stars are the prices.

Such great costumer service! I purchased some shirts from here, but when I got home I realized…read morethat the sleeves were stretched out from the hangers that they were on. When I brought them back, they were so kind and called around to the other BFLO stores to see if they had any folded ones in the same size and style. They did, and then they went above and beyond to bring them to the store that is closest to my home for me to pick up from there. Also, they have great promos. On 716 day, they had $7.16 off your purchase of $25 or more and free shirts when you spent $50 and $75. Bonus: They carry XS sizes, which you can't always find in Buffalo gear.

McKinlay has BFLO, Made In America, and Spencer's, and it also has Liam's. This is another example of that. I don't know if it's a big box chain like Spencer's, it didn't feel like it on the inside or out, but it's charming and fun and interesting and you would probably spend a lot longer in here than you expected to.

THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I EVER EXPERIENCED! Called earlier…read morein the day to see if they had any wedge sandals (needed next day for work event). Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

I bought some gifts for myself and my MIL and it's always nice to show up with a "different" kind of gift that blows people away...this is the spot to find it. The owners are SO kind and welcoming, and that alone is enough to get me back in the door. I also attended one of their paint nights and it was so much fun! The step by step instructions were easy to follow and they were kind enough to take time for anyone who was struggling. I walked away with an awesome wooden little football dude for my porch!!! I am always checking back to see what class I can come to next. Would recommend.
