One of the highlights is the vinyl section downstairs. Really cool selection and a must check if you are into records. Definitely worth popping into if you are in the area.

I discovered this…read morelocation maybe 12 years ago and at the time it was a gold mine, I used to leave with arms full of purchases. I check in there about once a month now and must times I leave empty handed. The vinyl section is still robust but ever since records starting making a comeback the prices have jumped outlandishly. I see records for sale there that I bought for half the price. The CD section seems to be dwindling down which is depressing for me to see. There used to be a large shelf filled with box sets that has disappeared. The prices for new CDs have also jumped substantially, which is odd for a format that has become dormant. Years ago it was a 5 star store but now it's a 3 for me personally.

We spent way longer in here than anticipated and that's a good thing. This place is huge and has…read moreso much to see and look at. I usually only come into these stores with my husband because he's the nerd but lemme tell ya, even I saw a few things that I'd like to have. Fortunately, for my pocket book and for my carry-on, my husband kept his cool and just bought a few small things that he hasn't seen in any of the shops where we live. He was super excited to check everything out and get things he can't get at home and I was lucky it was all small things. Why 4 stars? The place is upkept well but it kind of smells musty and weird in here. The employees are kind of meh, not very helpful or friendly. Also, pricing is a bit high, comparatively speaking, so the value is a bit low, but I do understand this place in a tourist zone, so I get it.

I politely asked them if they could be a little flexible with a very expensive piece of merchandise and their response was "maybe you should make more money." I sat stunned not knowing what to say back. I then asked them about the same figure on a website for a much lower price and to see their response. Rudely they said "we don't do that here." I said okay put down the figure and bought something else. No apologies, no have a good day and no thank you to that place ever again.

I mean a store dedicated to Harry Potter -- come on?!? And what I found wasn't some corporate, merch-filled spot but something that seemed to have grown out of the love the owner has for all things HP. This small shop includes photos and facts about the cast, mixed in with a fun assortment of items. In particular, I liked the Letter from Hogwarts wallet and items related to each of the Hogwarts houses. (This girl is a proud Ravenclaw, in case you were wondering). I ended up buying my kids plastic pens that look like quills. The owner was talking enthusiastically to all who entered, and when I told him that it was my birthday, he said he had something extra special for me and gave me my own, gold laminated train ticket from London to Hogwarts. I was thoroughly charmed by The Fairy Shop, even without the use of spells. ;-) A must-visit for any Harry Potter fans.

The fact that nobody working at Michaels even heard of them tells a lot about their knowledge of art supplies.

During a spontaneous trip to the mall in North Attleboro, I stopped in FYE and found some cute items to purchase. There's only one associate on a Saturday and he automatically signs you up for a subscription to the VIP service for FYE at the point of sales. This is not my first time dealing with this store but a No doesn't get you too far. He says it's free, but of course you have to cancel within 30 days. Make sure you remember that or else it's $11.99 per month for a subscription you probably won't use. The whole promotion for this VIP service takes much longer than necessary, plus you have to provide a license to the associate which I feel is sketchy. Randomly he throws in subscribing options for magazines too and just prolongs the whole cashing out experience. Fortunately to cancel the subscription is fairly easy online, but you have to find the correct button to cancel. Emailing them will get you no where with FYE. I feel like the whole subscription thing is a ploy to try to keep the remaining FYE businesses and online presence open, assuming people will forget about the subscription and help subsidize their failing business. I think that'll be my final time shopping at FYE.
