I went to look at their Hallmark items-cards, wrap and seasonal goodies-and found just what I wanted. But I also had fun browsing the rest of the store and walked out with so many birthday/holiday gifts. I was also really tempted to buy some colorful taco holders for me-maybe next time. And there will be lots of next times. This place will be in monthly rotation for me. It's in the collection of stores right across from the University Town Center. I think that retail area is called UTC West. It's walkable to the mall-right across the street-and there are also lots of eateries on this side. (more on that in a separate review) I'm so glad I stopped in. Yes, as I noticed in the mall, prices are up... but they weren't outrageous here. And they had cute/fun items that are perfect for so many people/occasions. It's clean and bright and well laid out: lots of merch but wide aisles. I'll be a regular from now on. Happy shopping!

I love to see those business do well, have success and become a long time fixture in a community. But I also won't life or color outside the lines. The merch they sell is fun and can all be personalized. The shop is small, I mean narrow, so if more than 2 people are there it seems crowded to almost claustrophobic. They do personalize almost everything they sell, so that is pretty nice (t--shirts, hats, sweats) and have a variety of sizes and colors. The prices are a tad steep on some items, almost too cheap on others. My experinces have been positive, but not always successful as I have looked for things there I couldn't find. Yet I know not all local and touristy gift shops can be all things to all people. I like this place, all in all. If you are looking for Sarasota or FL merch go here. It's authentic and not "Wal-Mart" mass generated made in China slop.
