I wasn't even in the market for any particular gifts for anyone, but I got lots of stuff for my home! I particularly like nice-smelling things and they have lots of candles, soaps, oil diffusers, shower melts, and things like that. There is also a coffee & tea section with offerings I haven't seen before that I'm excited to try (I got some of the coffee & haven't tried it yet). Definitely worth at least a visit, especially if they're open while you are at one of the nearby businesses. It is likeable!

They had some truly humorous items in the store, and their buyer must have a great sense of humor. Enjoyed the number of gift items to pick from.

It's a quirky little gem that adds a bit of whimsy to an otherwise tedious airport day. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: During a recent 5-hour layover on my way back to Montreal, I found myself wandering through The Frivolous Store at MSP, and it turned out to be the perfect distraction from the usual airport grind. Located in Concourse G, the store is like a playful little escape from the monotony of travel. The vibe is light-hearted, with its colorful displays and quirky assortment of items that immediately draw you in. The selection is as eclectic as it gets--think funky socks, inflatable travel pillows, funny t-shirts, silly gadgets, and some random, offbeat snacks. It's not a place for practical travel gear or serious souvenirs, but if you're in the mood for something fun or weird, this store has you covered. I ended up picking up a silly toy just for laughs, and it was the perfect lighthearted memento to break up my long wait. As for quality, it's hit or miss. Some things, like the travel gadgets, seem decently made, while others, like novelty snacks and t-shirts, feel a little flimsy. The prices are pretty typical for an airport--higher than you'd find elsewhere, but not outrageous. The staff was friendly and helpful, though it wasn't the kind of shopping experience where you'll get detailed advice or anything too specialized. The store's charm lies in its ability to make you smile, not in its seriousness.

Ironic how the store is named "state of nice" yet the staff is RUDE. I ask about a price of a mug…read moresince it's not listed and the staff acts dumb, walks to the area I found it and busts with "idk". I then choose another mug and a keychain because my flight was soon, I put on the counter for her to check out and just browse thru stickers real quick, she doesn't ring it up... I have to tell her to please ring it up. Then she rings it up, and she pushes the item to me to take AS IS?!? A mug??? A delicate item??? So I ask if they wrap it? She's says yes then processeds to move ridiculously slow and acts dumb. She wraps it once then I'm like ok once isn't enough, can I have two more? One to wrap it again and one to hold the item, she says yes. Then she only gives me one and says "two is too much". The most absolutely ridiculous thing to hear given how pricey the store is. It was an Indian elderly lady, I'm not sure if her name is "Opr Mulu"? That's what it says on the receipt. But WORST customer services ever received while visiting in Minnesota. Somebody this slow shouldn't be working at an airport given it's a fast pace environment.

Ok. A friend of a friend had a opening night photo exhibit here so I made this page, made a Yelp…read moreevent, all in the hopes of getting people to the show because the photos were that cool. And now a review of the space, because like the photos, this place is that cool and now, I have a better understanding of what it's all about, sort of. So the place has been open for about 5.5 months. A warm inviting storefront with the inside filled with local artist inspirations. Prices range from the Wow! That will look kick ass in my place (for the most frugal shopper) to Wow! That will look kick ass in my place! (for the person with some deep, pockets). Everything that's sold are one-of-a-kind pieces and are quite amazing. From paper mache' sculptures (definitely worth checking out) , New Zealand reclaimed wood tables, low temp fired ceramics, paintings with prices all over the spectrum and of course, photography and more. The cool thing though is that with the gallery owner, Nance, has space in the back which could be used for other events besides showings. Not big events, but smaller ones and obviously you would need to talk to her about what your trying to do but she came off as pretty cool and open to ideas. Nance has history of doing things in the city around the arts scene and if you've been to Macy's for their holiday display, you've seen her work. This part of West 7th (3-4 block area?) is really starting to pop and one could park in the middle and walk around, eat, drink, and shop their way to the different businesses and this place, is definitely worth a stop.

It's not the place for budget shoppers, but if you're a fan, it's a great little slice of musical history right in the airport. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you have time to appreciate Prince's legacy before catching your flight. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: During my long layover at MSP on my way home to Montreal, I couldn't resist checking out the Prince Store, especially as a fan of his music. Situated in Concourse F, the store is a tribute to the legendary artist, and it's clear they've done a great job of curating a space that feels both celebratory and fitting for an airport. It's small, but packed with Prince memorabilia that instantly transports you into his world. The selection is impressive--everything from classic albums, vinyl records, and books to exclusive merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and even a few more niche items like limited-edition posters. For any Prince fan, this is a must-stop. The quality of the products is solid, and you can tell that the store carefully chooses items that pay homage to his iconic style, from his signature purple hue to his funky logo designs. I picked up a t-shirt and a collectible item, both of which felt like genuine keepsakes. The prices are typical for airport shops--higher than you'd find at a regular store, but considering it's a Prince-specific store, you're paying a bit of a premium for exclusivity. Still, for true fans, it's worth it to have a unique piece of memorabilia to bring home. Customer service is friendly, though there's not much interaction beyond checking out. It's a smaller, more specialized space, so it's pretty hands-off, which works given the nature of the shop.
