I needed party supplies for my dad's 90th birthday and I found everything easily with Lisa's lovely and attentive help! The shop has beautiful options to make any party special, with everything from paper plates and festive disposable tablecloths to birthday candles, cards, and balloons. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I was calling from out of state looking for a specific keepsake ornament very near the holiday season. Not only did they have the ornament I was looking for, they were willing to ship it to me in Iowa even though they do not generally ship items from their store. I am so appreciative that they were willing to go out of their way to help! Everyone I spoke to was very helpful :) read more

Lisa herself answered the phone when I called and arranged 40 balloons for my son's birthday with 2 days notice! Jose delivered the balloons precisely on time and was very friendly. I will be back again!! read more

I had always shopped at this store when it was on Third Avenue and now I found it again today on Second Avenue! It was great then and it is even better now! I was looking for gifts for my 1 year old granddaughter and I found so many amazing items, with the very supportive help from Lisa, herself! She is knowledgeable about her products and took the time to help me make my selections.They have an awesome range of products and the quality brands gave me confidence that I was getting the best. She could not have been friendlier,more helpful, or supportive. Very friendly atmosphere with customers, as well. I totally recommend this store as a real neighborhood treasure! read more

Merchandise is outstanding, and service is generally great, but one cashier is always rude to me. I have a photo of Barack Obama on my phone case. She adamantly told me how much she doesn't like him. She's impatient, very intolerant of my Gold Crown coupons, and once her colleague even came to my rescue when she refused to let me make two separate transactions. The last time I was there she had a tantrum regarding how Gold Crown is of no benefit to her, and she's no longer participating. I don't know her name. Don't think she's Lisa. I've often seen a gentleman there who appears too be her superior. I've tried to be friendly and to warmly greet her, but her mood remains. Strange way to treat a loyal customer of 14 years - I first shopped at the 3rd Avenue location. Sadly, I'll probably seek another Hallmark store where my purchases will count toward points, and I won't have to endure disrespect. read more

I love Lisa's hip and fun store! So many great gifts and a fantastic toy section. The staff is so helpful too!

The store staffs are very friendly and helpful. Love the store location and decoration. The only thing I don't like is that the store hour is incorrect in Yelp website and hallmark store. Also there is no telephone number as well. This is why I gave 3 stars instead of 5. My daughter and I walk long way to store in a cold rainy day and found out that it was closed. read more

This store is so cute! And even though it's mainly a Hallmark seller, it's nice that they're not a huge chain store and they sell other trinkets there as well. The one downside to this store was that I had to search very hard for what I was looking for: single Thank You cards. I understand that most times, you want a stock ty note and coming in 10 packs is easier, but sometimes, there's someone who went above and beyond and they deserve a fancier card than the others! But other than that, the store is neat and well organized. They seem to turn stock over according to the seasons. Will definitely come back here if I need another card or gift. read more

Just what the doctor ordered. Wanted to find a sweet blank card for my guy. After discovering Lisa's had moved to 2nd, found a brighter, a spacious store. Was immediately grabbed by the empathic mugs to the right. Got the last "Do what makes you happy" mug, and enjoyed chatting with Lisa while her assistant wrapped it. Made my guy's day, and mine too! read more

This place is amazing. It was so welcoming and made me feel like should have brought my daughter on this little trip. There were so many variations and I was only on my lunch break but felt like I wanted to stay there a little longer. Eventually I wound up buying my friend a happy birthday cup but they had a lot of great choices. Wish I would have known about this place sooner. And the best part of it all is that they deliver. AMAZING! LOVED IT! read more

My boyfriend and I go here anytime we need a gift for an occasion. As Bill Hader would say, "This place has everything!" Came here today needing multiple white elephant gifts and as usual it had exactly what we needed! Have also come for Mother's Day and birthday gifts and always find a great gift! read more

Love this shop! They have such a great selection of gifts, toys, cards, gift bags, wrapping paper, you name it. It's a joy to stroll through the store because you see whimsical and unique things that catch your eye - much more of a treat than shopping online! Definitely check out Lisa's next time you need a gift or cards. Shop local! Their card selection beats Duane Reade any day! read more

"I moved to the Upper East Side about a year ago, and I love Lisa's on 2nd Ave! I frequently stop in for greeting cards, stickers, holiday decorations, and adorable home decor. The store is cozy and the employees are always helpful and pleasant. It's also the only store that sells Snoopy holiday stickers, which I send to my mom who is a huge Peanuts fan. Lisa's is a neighborhood staple, check it out!" -my sister read more

I've been struggling to find a go to toy store in the neighborhood since the children's general store closed. I've finally found Lisa's! Lisa was great and helped me find the most adorable flamingo gift set for a birthday girl. The toy selection was huge and my son found a soft frisbee we'd been searching for. I would highly recommend! read more

I love Lisa's! I was really surprised to read negative reviews because every time I've been there the employees are so nice and helpful! They've helped me pick out gifts for all different occasions! I love to look around and seeing what's new! Go check it out read more

Love this store! Has everything you need in one place - tons of gifts for kids, cards, gift wrapping, jewelry and handbags. Honestly can find a gift for anyone....and yourself read more

Lisa's is one of the few remaining local toy shops and my daughters and I are regular visitors. The selection for birthday presents (young and old) is great. My family are big fans of singing birthday cards and this is the only place with a great selection that is constantly updated. Best of all are the staff - Lisa herself is super helpful and a great resource if you need any guidance finding a gift. Lisa's is exactly what a neighborhood store should be and will continue to be our go-to place for everything present related. read more

Large selection of greeting cards as well as smaller selection of toys and small gifts. Great in a pinch for birthday cards and stocking stuffers! read more

Lisa is beyond helpful and her store has absolutely everything. She helped me pull together a last minute Secret Santa, bridal shower and family Christmas gift, and then wrapped all beautifully. 5 Stars! read more

Lisa's is perfect for our neighborhood. Cards, gifts and treats....and most of all Lisa herself. She's part of our community - even hosting kids from our school to teach them about business. read more

I finally found a card store with an enormous number and variety of cards and an added bonus is the large selection of speciality gifts and toys. It's such a fun, feel good store to visit! read more

I have been buying cards in Lisa's store but today I was helped personally by Lisa in finding gifts for my granddaughters. She was amazing in helping me start my 2019 holiday shopping!! She was so helpful in selecting the small stocking stuffers that each one will be thrilled with. I highly recommend this local neighborhood toy store-a rare find!! I will be sure to revisit soon! read more

I moved into the neighborhood about a year ago and was so happy to find Lisa's. Whether I need a card, a gift, or toys for my grandchildren, I can always find something here. The quality of the gifts and toys for children are wonderful! The owner Lisa and her staff are always friendly and helpful. This store is a neighborhood gem! read more

Not very kind. Has a credit card minimum. Why can't we stop this illegitimate practice? Read the contract with the credit cards please.

Super nice people. Jose went out of his way to erase a smudge from the last card of the one I wanted. Shop here!!

Lisa's has everything I need when I'm looking for a gift. I love their stuff for kids and the jewelry! Lisa was there when I went in - she's so nice and helpful. I will definitely be going back to her store! read more

Great store. Manager is friendly and knowledgable about all the current cool toys for kids. If you want to score a cool toy be sure to come here. Outstanding selection of items, lots to choose from. Better quality than most Hallmarks. Classy, fun to shop. Will definitely go uptown just to shop here. read more

This is definitely a great place to shop whether planned or last minute. It has all essentials you need whether it be a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or knick knacks. I recommend this store for anybody looking for something. Not to mention the workers are nice and give great suggestions. Check it out. read more

This store is fantastic. They have a wonderful variety of cards, toys, gift items, candles, mugs....you name it. The store is bright and welcoming and the people that work there are always incredibly friendly. Lisa, herself, is a lovely woman who is always ready to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Every time I go in, I walk out with much more than I expected, but I am always happy with my purchases. I just got my Valentines Day cards, wrapping paper, and a variety of other things. I highly recommend this neighborhood spot. Thanks Lisa! read more

The new location on 91st and 2nd is new and improved! So much cute kids stuff, home decor, gifts etc as well as a huge selection of cards and wrapping stuff. Lisa's is a neighborhood treasure. read more

My favorite Hallmark store by far! I used to go to them regularly for party supplies at the old location on Third. When I found out they'd moved, I hunted them down because the store is so darn good. Plenty of light and way more space--and I was able to organize my friend's surprise birthday party in 15 minutes. I love this place, totally worth trekking to the very-slightly-out-of-the way location (though when the 2nd Ave Subway opens, it'll be perfect). read more

Lisa's is the BEST card store on the UES, reminiscent of the old Hallmark stores where you could find the best cards, wrappings and personal gifts perfect for any occasion. Lisa and her staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I'm always amazed at the things I find there that I never see anywhere else. If you're looking for that special card or thank you gift Lisa's is the place to go. read more

Horrible staff who appear to be disinterested in assisting customers. Owner profiles customers of color. She was condescending towards a group of persons with disabilities. They were interested in purchasing puzzle activities for their program facility. Overpriced items and terrible service* read more

I have always loved this place, since when it was on 3rd avenue. They always go above and beyond to help you. It's a gem.

What a welcome surprise. I went out looking for Christmas cards and came home with candles, toys, cards, and candy. A huge selection of cards and gifts, and the staff is helpful and friendly. read more

Lisa's on 2nd is awesome! They have the best selection of cards and gifts in town by far. She has everything from engagement gifts, picture frames, decorated wine glasses to dish towels with funny sayings and so much more. Lisa is often in the store and is very helpful in choosing a gift. She makes it easy! Highly recommended! read more

Lisa's Hallmark Store is a staple on the UES she moved from 3rd Avenue around 5 years ago. Lisa's is my go to for all my last minute gift needs which are many. Her buying eye is unique and nothing looks cheap... I remember bringing my daughter to shop many, many times (she is now a grown woman) to pick out a toy, card or ornament or jewelery. The employees are all nice and helpful as my type A personality is always running in for a last minute gift with the Uber waiting. Great candles, room sprays, baby gifts, toys galore, chocolates, frames, novelty items and of course cards and wrappings...I always get my party balloons there. The gentleman that works there is a real pro with the party decorating. Many times you can get lucky and see Lisa she works her own store often and some great conversation and perfect gift suggestions from her. I am pleased to now buy for my Grandson there and continue the tradition. read more

Lisa's on 2nd Avenue is indeed a gem. The staff is courteous and friendly and the selection is terrific. My kids love this store. What a great addition to the neighborhood and the perfect place to visit for greeting cards, the latest "hot" toys, and special gifts. The owner, Lisa, can not be more helpful in responding to queries and looking out for her customers. Lisa also goes above and beyond by creating a program to teach local school kids entrepreneurial skills with while providing them with a core understanding of how a small business is run. read more

My absolute go to place. The best bags and jewelry. For everyone. Gifts for my mother in law. My friends and for me! Love. Lisa could not be more patient and sweet. I never leave empty handed. Thanks? Ha. Always happy. read more
