If you love Detroit (or just great local finds), put this everything-Detroit boutique at the very…read moretop of your list. It's one of those shops that perfectly captures the spirit of the city while still feeling welcoming, creative, and genuinely community-focused. The location in Midtown is super convenient, with easy street parking nearby -- always a bonus in the city. And if you have time, definitely pop next door to Nest, which they also own. It has the same thoughtful vibe and is absolutely worth browsing plant-centric items. This is my go-to spot for gifts, although I'll admit some items mysteriously end up staying with me. The selection is fantastic: unique Detroit-themed T-shirts, beautiful jewelry, coasters, drinkware, cutting boards, locally made soaps, baby gifts, and so much more. Everything has a Michigan connection, and a lot of the pieces come from local artists and makers, which makes shopping here feel even more meaningful. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people behind it. The staff are genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in their community. You can tell they care about supporting local artists, small businesses, and the neighborhood as a whole -- and that makes supporting them feel good too. If you want authentic Detroit gifts, thoughtful local products, and a shopping experience that feels personal rather than corporate, this spot absolutely delivers. I always look forward to coming back.

This place was neat. I hadn't seen it before and according to the other reviews on here, they moved…read morefrom a Woodward location to 9 Mile, so that would explain it. Huge selection of gifts, including some fun Schitt's Creek stuff and Golden Girls, and also lots of candy and chocolate. They had Coffee Crisp which surprised me, it's a Canadian chocolate bar and I've never seen it outside of Canada. They are still requiring masks as of right now (6/13/21) which was nice, also. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit pricey - most of the gifts I saw were $9.99 and up, for small things, and they had some Sanders one-piece chocolates for 75c (I've seen them 25-50c in other stores). Otherwise, this was a fun store to browse and I will be back at some point.

Add that right wingers would leave the place with anger and a big headache, you have a place I am glad to live near and EBS would have dropped lots of cash. I keep coming back for the fruit slices that are thicker than Macy's. I also like the selection of retro candy from my distance past childhood. I had to buy a birthday present for one of those "hard-to-buy" 20s generation so I knew I could get some cool stuff she would love. I found some socks, a note pad to write down her evil thoughts, and tennis shoes erasers. Even a bag for the introvert she is to put it all in. She loved all of it and wanted to know where the store this store is located. They have their Christmas stuff out and a warning that some of it would not have been on your grandmother's tree unless your grandma was like a 1960s hippie. Worth the drive just to come here, but you also get to enjoy the other shops in beautiful downtown Ferndale. Parking on the street, lots in the back, and other lots around the downtown. $1 an hour.

Love that they have the cutest items that highlight the best community ever. Not from Plymouth, that's okay! I literally come here for most gifts. From Michigan related gear and gifts to the silliest items around, I can literally find something for everyone. It's unique and special, which makes shopping here even better. Is it bad that I want to accidentally keep most of the items I buy here? Beanies, pillows, magnets, candles, cards, geez! You name it! Love that I was able to come here for a bachelorette gift too! I highly recommend following them on IG too. I'm able to preview what's new and snag it before it's sold out. Score! On top of that, the owner puts out the best videos eveeerrrrr!!!

Lots of nice authentic artwork to see and appreciate, definately NOT MADE IN CHINA, where my personal favorites were their large Christmas ornament selection and their glassware. To that end, I ended up buying a couple beautiful whiskey glasses to add to my bar collection with the Polish Eagle engraved on the heavy weight glass. These glasses are visually stunning and will be very much appreciated and a talking point for my extended Polish family. (: Whether you are Polish or not, there is so many nice/beautiful things to see at this store that you should definately check it out if you are in the area. In a world that is full of cheap junk/trinkets that are mass produced a store like this stands out for both its quality and beauty and should not be missed if you are in the area. Five stars in my book!

Not so cluttered that you can't turn around, great lighting and unique ways of displaying items. My lower rating is because of the service to potential vendors. It seems non existent. I'd love to hear from any active vendor there. I dropped off my card (after messaging them via their website, email and Instagram over several months) to inquire about becoming a vendor and never heard back. Maybe they don't have any vendor openings or they don't think my art is a good fit. That's fine. However, I think a courtesy email telling me that should be a normal expectation, though? Maybe Im way off. I still get a ton of advertising whales from their subscription list, so.... ?
