Very sweet neighborhood shop. Unique to this section of…read moreBrooklyn. Lovely selection of items and gifts that do vary over the years. Why 2 Stars it is because of their attitude. The two young ladies in the gift side of the shop act as if they're doing you a favor to pay for their slightly overpriced items. Gift card selection in quality has plummeted, But nicer staff on the holiday cards side of the shop. Descent , But could be much Better. Next time 3 or 1 Star Depending on their Attitude. The sarcasm is free of charge.

Horrible customer service! I would like to know who is the real owner of this place? The…read moresalesperson by the name of Christine lied to me few times! First, she didn't know the price of the item I wanted to purchase, she said she only works there and that the owner wasn't available at the time, because SHE was at a funeral. Then she gave me a price, but she didn't allow me to inspect the item closely, she said it can't be taken down from the window before Christmas. I went there again after Christmas and she said it can only be discounted 20%, but again, she would not let me inspect it. At that time, she said, she is a manager of the store and that owners are three man, the lady who was at a funeral was also a manager, not an owner of the store. Today, the item I wanted to purchase was still displayed on the window, and she lied that it was already sold, refusing to sell it to me. She was very rude and told me to get out of HER STORE, stating that she is the owner. This person by the name of Christine should not be manager of anything! She can take her whole store to her own home, because we - the residents of Bay Ridge don't need her NASTY ATTITUDE and lies! I will file a lawsuit against the store, and if she is the real owner, she will have to answer in Court, if not, I urge the owners to fire her, or they will be responsible for her nasty and discriminatory attitude!

They have a much better selection!!! Also they have little gifties! Plates, napkins etc for birthday parties, like Hello Kitty !! My personal fave ;) They sell candles, incense, books and some funny gag gifts like gum with funny sayings or pins that say Brooklyn Princess.. Okay maybe the princess thing isn't really up my alley but it's still pretty cool! I will totally come and pick up some funny things for my friends upcoming birthday. They take CC but beware there is a 10 dollar minimum! Though with all the cool items they have , it seems like an easy sell to me :)

They have crystals, palo santo, sage, jewelry, pillows, books, skincare, perfumes, games, fun greeting cards & honestly, just a whole bunch of cute things you didn't think you'd need but now realize you do. The coffee shop in the back is small, but offers up teas (iced and hot) and snacks like croissants, cookies and brownies. The patio in the back is the real winner. You can get a coffee and a treat and sit in the back and just enjoy the beautiful greenery. You don't even feel like you're in the city anymore, this yard transports you to a different place and time. The people are so friendly, so customer service is also nice. I haven't been here for an event but I'm told they host yoga, chess game nights and Gay Ridge events. I plan on checking those out soon. For an afternoon espresso, brownie, and nice outdoor space, this hits the spot.

From fun pens, stationary, clothing, and hair accessories, this place has everything simply girlie cute you could ever really want. I primarily visit here to see if they have any loose stationary, since a friend and I are actively mailing letters to each other. I also love that you can touch and try out the pens to see if they are what you are looking for. Journals? They have them here too. Housewares?! YES! They even have children's chopsticks that I am always very tempted to buy for my son, but once he fully masters the skill, he's getting a pair! The pricing can be a little steeper than what you'd be expecting for Chinatown, but $4 for a pen? Better to buy in bulk because you'll get a better deal. Remember - cash is always king here!

Attached to the fabulous Tops restaurant supply store which has a great selection of plates, glassware, pots, pans and more industrial items. My one complaint is that they aren't open late. Kinda wish they did a 7/8 one night a week for that post work stop by.

On top of all that I was pleasantly surprised to have found a community of creative thinkers and organizers who regularly host events inside the space which give a platform to the incredible talent that this neighborhood has fostered over the years! In the best thing is that they don't take themselves too seriously I am writing this review so that others understand that the owners are kind responsible people prepared to amend and understand any trespass or impasse, just message them on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/awesomebrooklyn?igsh=MTJtNTZ1NXoyZDJ5Mw== @awesomebrooklyn

In fact, I recently discovered the shop itself as they hosted an outdoor vinyl sale, inviting other local vendors and collectors to sell directly outside their shop. It was a fantastic event under any circumstances, but in these days in particular felt like an inspired and ideal way to celebrate and embrace a communal NY spirit. I walked away with a nice mug for myself, a couple of surprise early holidays gifts off my list and, of course, some interesting new and used vinyl. And perhaps more importantly, a great day, and a fine new gift buying go-to!
