THIS is the kind of shopping I love to do. We purchased several things for various gift exchanges, and then spent the rest of our time there making wish lists for ourselves.

There is a wide range of pricing, so whatever your budget, you'll find something to love...whether for yourself (highly recommended) or others (who will love your gift!). Go!

IA just gets better and better! If you're shopping for a gift or just want to treat yourself to something special, Initial Attraction should be your destination. It is one of the best gift shops in Kalamazoo if not the best. I also want to give a special shout -out Maryann & Gail. They ALWAYS go above and beyond to make sure a customer has their needs met with perfection. They are great at suggestion if your not too sure what you're after. If you need a place to find extraordinary customer service and beautiful and diverse inventory and personalized gifts this needs to be your next stop!

It's nice that they seem to be doing well in this quirky plaza that also hosts a coffee shop, ice cream parlor, Q'doba, mattress shop, men's clothing store and hot yoga studio. I wouldn't think they'd get enough traffic to stay afloat but they've been part of the plaza for a long time and don't appear to be going anywhere.

Cute cute cute! This place explodes with color -- I could tell from the one brief glance at their…read morewindow display from the intersection of Oakland and Parkview that I was going to be all about this place. I adore the store layout and just about every stitch of clothing inside -- although I did experience a bit of sticker shock when I glanced at price tags. My eye gravitated to a luxuriously soft light sweater-cape in a pale pink with bright pink polka dots that I was hoping might be on sale since it's a bit too warm for the current season. No such luck ... it was almost $300. Sigh ... I moved on. Found the cutest little fuchsia and orange sundress. D'oh ... nearly $300 again. I have a hard time parting with that much money for clothing that only gets a few months use since it's only hot in Michigan for a few months of the year. If I lived in Florida, it would absolutely be worth the splurge. There are quite a few more budget-friendly items at Tulips, including one new clothing line that's closer to the $50 mark, but this season's line from them wasn't in the vibrant colors that made the rest of Tulip's apparel appeal so much. They also have some wonderful travel-friendly, wrinkle free clothes that I'll be sure to check out next time I'm planning to go on vacation. Jewelry, too, is very affordable and bright and pizzazy ... I posted a bunch of pictures on yelp. This would be a great spot to stop for gifts as well as they had gorgeous beach blankets in vibrant patterns (flamingos, anchors, peacock feathers and other themes), Derby hats and other fun tchotchkes. Tulips is a now a must-stop spot for me when I'm in the Oakwood Plaza neck of the woods. What a great little area to shop local! I highly recommend wandering the whole area and popping in to all the great local spots.
