Wow! And I mean that in the most debased sense of the word. I've had Bulldog Liquidators bookmarked…read morefor quite a while as a place I needed to visit soon. I do love a good deal. But this store, when I visited, was a mess. Just things everywhere. There are shelves of open boxes containing everything from solar garden lights to personal hibachis to bath mats to electric can openers. There are ceramic coffee creamer containers and basketballs and safes and 100-packs of individually wrapped slime blobs shaped like aliens. And it's all everywhere, all at once. Now, I love visiting a store with lots of stuff everywhere, but this place looked like it had been attacked. Maybe it's because I visited at the end of the day? Your experience might be different from mine if you visit on a different day at a different time. For instance, the shoe area had single shoes hanging out with pairs of shoes that looked like they had been worn by customers who came in and decided they didn't want their shoes anymore, and so they just put on the shelf. Next to this was clothing that was hung up on a rack, but there was no rhyme or reason to the organization. Swim suits with football padding with pajama pants with toddler outfits. The clothing area is where I decided to just let go and let God, but then I looked at the prices and almost laughed out loud. Not Bulldog Liquidators trying to sell me a Target blouse for $10! Anyway. They do have a lot of furniture here, which I think is the big draw. I saw some decent bureaus and tables and things. Also some ottomans and a nice gaming chair that I almost considered. After taking to some people who like Bulldog Liquidators, I think people come here to get discounted food and health/hygiene supplies, like pads and diapers. They will sell open packages of pads that have just one pad removed at a steep discount. That's nice. But I think for the uninitiated, Bulldog is just a mess, and I'd rather spend a couple of dollars more to shop at a place that is more organized. And the prices are not really discounted, compared to the quality of items that are in the store.

I work across the street from this location and I'm working on a brick building doing masonry work…read moreso I'm in this store quite often I walked in there yesterday and found this mirror that hangs on the wall that also opens to a jewelry box and it also lights up Messina I got excited I wanted it they was going to charge me $40 for it and come to find out they had sold it to another Mexican family for $15 I made sure the lady knew I wanted this jewelry box and I didn't care if I had to pay $40 but come to find out they sold it for $15 to another family the same culture as them. I honestly feel like the are against white ppl. That is a big money difference!!!!

Global Gifts is unexpectedly interesting and filled with exquisite artisan gifts and goods that are…read moreguaranteed fair trade. The shop is a hidden gem in a tiny strip mall in Nora. We stopped by after visiting a neighboring restaurant. The clerk was part of a volunteer staff and was friendly and welcoming. She told us about the sourcing of the merchandise. She also reminded me of their second location on Mass Ave. Several things caught my eye, especially the hand crafted "quilled" greeting cards. The handmade dresses and shirts are colorful and lovely. Handmade baskets, carvings and stuffed animals were among the merchandise. Prices are reasonable. I snagged a dark chocolate candy bar before leaving and have my eye on a pair of earrings. There's plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Worth a visit.

In a weird way, I've grown up with Global Gifts. Global Gifts is an Indy-based fair trade and…read moreethically made gift shop. It's a non-profit organization that has grown since it's first location opened in 1988 on north Michigan Road. At the time, I was a fumbling and bumbling adult and the manager, Julie, was a kind-hearted soul who welcomed my presence even though my income at the time meant I hardly ever spent anything. Global Gifts now has multiple locations and the Michigan Road spot is long gone. I now live in Lawrence and this spot is likely my closest option. I believe the other two locations still open are Mass Avenue here in Indy and a spot in Bloomington, IN. Global Gifts began in the 1980's as a project of First Mennonite Church with a commitment to Fair Trade products. 30 years later, Global Gifts continues its strong commitment to fair trade - this means the products you buy at Global Gifts support fair wages, gender equity, and dignified working conditions. They work with some familiar names, such as Equal Exchange, while also including lots of other individual and organizational vendors from around the world in offering products that are reasonably priced and free of a lot of the ethical concerns so often associated with coffee, jewelry, and other products from around the world. As a non-profit, a good number of the folks you encounter in the stores in each location are volunteers with a few paid staff that work across the organization and manage the retail centers. As I noted, this particular shop relocated recently from a spot in in the same strip center as Whole Foods. Due to some decisions by Kite Realty, several of the longtime vendors have departed and Global Gifts found this spot in a small strip center just south of East 86th Street on Westfield Boulevard. They are directly next to the new Illumine Coffee. Global Gifts is at the north end of the Strip Center. There's a ramp right at the end of the building and it's better to use than the south end (though the south end is more visible, I noticed multiple obstacles to access on the strip center's sidewalk. It's an older strip center and the sidewalk is somewhat narrow). Global Gifts noted during my visit that they'd already noticed a problem with accessibility when their door is open due to the narrow sidewalk. It's nice visiting businesses who are aware. This location is a bit longer than its predecessor. However, it's a tad more narrow. That said, I found this location MUCH more wheelchair friendly. No comparison. It may be how products are placed, but I was amazed how much it felt like I could wheel around without being concerned about hitting anything. The store itself is usually packed with a wide variety of goods made from around the world. While you can certainly spend a decent chunk of cash here, the prices are easily below many retail outlets in most cases and, again, you're supporting indie artisans and a non-profit organization. There's a strong "craft" vibe here with items ranging from jewelry to paper goods to home interiors to coffees, teas, and candies to children's toys to books and much more. I'm not quite ready to say that Global Gifts is 100% Fair Trade, given that they do support and carry some items from local people (especially in books) but I can easily say the vast majority would qualify as Fair Trade and I know the shop itself is certified as Fair Trade. There's a progressive spirit here - for example, their book options nearly always celebrate banned books and indie publishers. There's only a few books here, however, they're always great ones. While I'm a lot less bumbling than I used to be, I still love the staff and volunteers here. I learned today that the assistant manager actually drives from Lafayette to work here. That's commitment. A word of caution to the "quick" shopper. As most of those staffing the store and the cash registers (there are two) are volunteers, you may not necessarily get the hyper-speed of your usual retail outlet. Sometimes, volunteers have questions or have something happen they don't quite understand. It's helpful to have just a little bit of patience here. I've never reached the point of frustration myself here, but those more geared toward quick in-and-out visits may want to lower expectations a notch. They also have a rewards program that is worth signing up for. You can also order an awful lot online. Overall, Global Gifts remains one of my favorite places to shop for just about any occasion and for myself. The shop is small, but the mission is large and with a 30+ year history they've clearly succeeded in building something special here. If you're in the area, give them a try and now that they're next to an awesome coffeeshop this is just a great corner to visit.

Biiiggg fan of The Shop and have been for years. They're usually a stop if I need Indiana merch to…read morehaul back with me to AZ- I love all of their designs (especially anything not in black/gold colors) and they offer more than your standard screen print on a cheap cotton Gildan tee (used to work in merchandise dev). For many years the colors, designs were not "official team" apparel which kept prices fairly low. Now that they've gotten into licensed team apparel, I've noticed some prices have gone up.. but it's the price of business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At any moment you'll see IU, Xurdue, Butler, Colts, Pacers and Indy 500 brands all over the store and online, with occasional touches into OSU, ISU (#LarryLegend), and retro brand fandom. The only less Hoosier Hopsitality thing about them is their staff - the guy working when I most recently stopped in did not appear approachable nor care to talk... but hello-- that is part of your job. The hipster Broad Ripple "I could care less" vibe he gave off left a sour taste in my mouth.

Stopped here during a trip to Indianapolis for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. We heard from someone…read morethey were carrying some TS merch and we decided to check it out and so glad we did. They had 2-3 shirts that were Taylor themed and a cute sticker. The prices were affordable and I paid $24 for a shirt and $3 for a sticker. I wish they had a larger selection of designs on different types of shirts. For example, the design I really wanted was only available on a very think cotton shirt and I would have preferred a lighter and softer material.
