I'm living temporarily in Jersey city and needed to get some birthday gifts for two very different…read morepeople. I stopped in here and found so many good finds for both of them and price range was decent for both a "nicer" gift and some stocking stuffer type gifts. From candles, candy, socks, self-care goodies, mini treasures, jewelry, clothes... there's definitely something for everyone. The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

PERFECT GIFTS for Every Need! I literally cannot with how…read moreamazing this store is and how awesome their staff is! I had to quickly grab a housewarming gift for a first visit to a dear friends new house (while my grumbly husband waiting in the car). I knew the perfectly curated store ALWAYS has an impressive array of custom scented candles on their back wall (replete in an artful gift box with box of matches = PERFECT!) So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ... Thank You Kanibal & Co.! #Lifesavers

Stopped by wanting to get a few birthday party supplies and was unimpressed. Nothing in here is a…read moredollar. The cheapest we got was a small lint roller for $1.79 everything else was higher for generic and off-brand items. Mylar balloons were $5 each and that did not include any helium to blow them up. The store is really dingy and messy. As some others have noted, the one redeeming section is the craft area if you need some things for school science projects they have quite a bit. Otherwise you're better off going to Target or 5 below for better prices, better quality, and a cleaner store.

The dream is still alive, at least the 99 cent version, in one of the most gentrified parts of the…read moreever changing downtown Jersey City. For the most part, there is always a decent bustle of people going in and out of here at all times. I would know because, I'm one of them. Like all 99 Cent stores in NYC, this place looks as if it's been around for a long time. The signage is consistent with all the other 99 cent spots and the lack of ventilation (stale air) gives this place the proper feel that all locals will recognize from nostalgia alone. Service isn't the fastest, but I would assume no one comes here for this. What I do come here for is the random finds that this place tends to have and others don't. Usually I go in with a mission: find a charging cable, a temporary household good, or something I knew that wouldn't last me long and was good for the pinch. I usually end up walking out of here with a few more items than I anticipated for. That's the mark of a good store, me thinks.

You have to love Price Tag, I've been going to Price tag since the late '90s. I used to go to their…read moreold location before they moved and I've been a loyal customer for a very long time. Price tag is part of a trio of stores that sells off price boutique closeouts. The other two are Barney's bargain stores in Hillside and Bloomfield. They didn't call the Bayonne location Barney's because there was already another store called Barney's up on Avenue C. That store closed many years ago. Price tag and the other two locations have a rotating series of stock. Some weeks they have women's, some week they have men's, and sometimes they have Children's. You can get very expensive shoes and clothing at a discount.$200 SAS shoes? You can get them for $50 or less. They have lots of different brands and things change all the time. Sometimes, though, they get things that don't move very quickly. Today I saw some hilarious socks that were for New years 2000. Call them New vintage, I'm sure someone will pick them up. You can always count on Price tag when you need an evening bag, shoes, or a wallet. They tend to get a lot of those items. They are only open Thursday through Sunday. Some of the people who work there seem very disinterested, but the two Natalies who work on Sunday are the nicest. Check it out, you never know what you will find.

This is a wonderful shop! This was my first time going here and let me begin by saying the store is…read moreclean and smells amazing! The girls behind the counter are so helpful and amazing. I was truly shocked by the wonderful customer service. I am used to the boutiques in NY where being rude is normal- so this was a very pleasant change. The first day I tried on a pair of beautiful wife leg pant in a S and L. I needed a M and the sales associate told me she has one at the Jersey City location and if I could wait- she would have it in 10 min! I was shocked! I was running late to get back to work- so I told her I'll come and get it on Monday. After going back on Monday- she bring it over but kept it in her car. So she asked if I could come back before the end of the day. I told her I'll just wait until tomorrow. While I was there she showed me a huge box of new stuff (in the packaging) that was delivered that morning! She showed me everything And got my sizes to try on! I fell in love with a body suit and a two piece set! I went back the next day to buy the pants and ended up getting the pants, a body suit and a two piece set (maxi). I feel like a found a diamond in a coal mine! I'll be checking weekly for new things!

I've gotten a few things over the years, but now a days, I usually stop in to take a quick peek at what new vintage finds they have. It's been a staple here in Hoboken for as long as I've been in the area, and they also have a location in downtown JC that I love even more (mostly because they have a wider selection of true vintage pieces). The ladies that work in the shop are always friendly and helpful, always around if you have a question but never in your face if you're just browsing. The dressing rooms are small and not the most comfortable but they are there if you do want to try on pieces. Worth a stop in if you are in the area!

So many great reviews and recommendations on this store but came by on my visit from Miami 4x's and…read morenot open. First two times there was a sign out front "be back in 5 minutes" and 30 minutes later no return. Sad part there was another person who was a friend of the owner waiting as well and we were a party of 3. Gave it another shot and came by on Sunday, store supposed to open at 12 ~ closed, went to eat, came back by at 12:30, closed still. Definitely recommend calling first if you MUST visit this location but there is another vintage shop approximately 7 stores down that was really good as well. Happy Vintage Shopping
