Discovered this place when Dupont was having a community garage sale and it is adorable. It's like…read morea souvenir gift shop but they also have toys, food items, and seasonal clothes and kitchen things. It's kinda like a Cracker Barrel store, but with just a smidge of cottagecore, instead of the heaps you find at CB. This store is located in the middle of a community, and by that I mean it's a cute little retail store surrounded by residents. It was surprising to find it in that location, but it was nice to look at new things after a full morning of looking at everyone else's old things, lol. Can't wait to visit again.

There are a lot of gifts, accessories, holiday decor, clothing, lotions, soaps, stickers, you know the usual "I dont need it but I am gonna get it because it is so cute" stuff. A lot of local Washington stuff, which I always enjoy. Prices are on the high end. Service is friendly and attentive and the store is clean and bright.

Given its atmosphere and boutique style I thought I'd find something... No such luck. Like many children's and baby clothing stores, the selection for baby boys is extremely limited- I'd say about 30% geared towards boys or gender neutral here. With even fewer items for babies and infants. And what was available was pretty run-of-the-mill. They did have some interesting baby things and toys but nothing you can't find elsewhere. Although the store front is inviting, easy parking & the interior decorated well; it's not necessarily worth a trip out of your way. If you happen to be in downtown Tacoma, stop by. But don't drive 30 minutes out of your way like me.

It was The Nearsighted Narwhal! Of course I had to check it out. The shop is small, but has a ton of fun and witty gifts and items, from local zines to buttons to prints. I spent a good amount of time, checking out all the different and detailed items. Specifically, I really liked the magnets they sell here, as they have clever sayings with a colorful background. In fact, when I was checking out, I asked the owner if there were any more and she mentioned that she was making more magnets and to stop by again for different sayings. One that I bought says, "Not today motherfucker." Now who wouldn't want that hanging at their office? The Nearsighted Narwhal is a great store to browse and shop local. If in the area, definitely pay this shop a visit and support the local artists that sell their work here here. Plus, ya gotta love the Tacoma pride found, as they sell many items from tees to magnets, expressing Tacoma is cool and Seattle drools. Hah!

She let us in and was very pleasant and helpful as we shopped for t-shirts, lotions and decals. The jewelry was amazing-very bold and wearable. Loved that the t-shirts were high-quality, soft, amazing colors, and in all sizes, not just small and mediums. We each bought a t-shirt and I got a pepper lotion to use on sore muscles- whoa, its very potent! But I think I like it. The book and zine section was cool. I wish I had more time to browse that section.
