How have I never written a review for Global Gifts?! I've been visiting this shop since well before…read moreI moved to Indy. I'd swing by almost every visit to Indianapolis I made for years. They offer beautiful gifts from around the world--everything from statues to wall hangings to scarves to musical instruments to jewelry to coffee and tea. I always love seeing what fair trade goodies they have in stock when I'm on Mass Ave! During holiday season, they have an array of ornaments that you don't want to miss. I saw a snowflake one on my last visit that was so stunning! Don't forget to grab a chocolate bar or two at checkout. Not only are they fair trade, some are also vegan (hooray for dairy free people like me!)... and all that I've tried are delicious! Global Gifts is definitely worth a stop during your time downtown! You won't find unique gifts quite like this anywhere else.

I don't want to say that I've been a fan of Global Gifts for a long time, but I remember when it…read morewas just one store on North Michigan Road. I lived only a few blocks away at the time and it was a kind of rough time in my life - I could slip into Global Gifts and experience both kindness and a wide array of prices that allowed me, even at the time on a fixed income, to find something that would make my home smile. Of course, Global Gifts has grown and my own life has changed dramatically. The North Michigan Road store gave way to Nora and eventually this location on Mass Avenue along with Bloomington, IN and Columbus, OH. Certain things haven't changed - Global Gifts is still mission minded and kind and devoted to creating sustainable economic opportunities and safe/equitable working conditions for artisans and farmers from over 40 countries. They have a website where you can actually shop by country, including a current special upgrade to Priority Mail until December 16th. They have a delightful rewards club. They definitely do not spam, though you will get periodic e-mails about specials and updates regarding the current respons to the health pandemic. All products, 100%, are fair trade verified and ethically made. They offer free standard shipping on orders over $60. This location has a definite Mass Avenue feeling. It's worth noting that while all the Global Gifts locations are related, they're not always the same. The Mass Avenue location is a little more narrow, consistent with Mass Avenue stores, though they do a nice job of keeping things accessible. The front door is level to the ground and easy to access. If you need help due to mobility - trust me, these folks will help. It's worth noting that Global Gifts is a non-profit organization - 501c3. An awful lot of the folks you see in the stores are actually volunteers and many of them have been volunteering for years. Global Gifts follows a JEDI Committee Charter - "Global Gifts is committed to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in principle and in action, in the way we operate our business and the way we further our mission and vision in line with the principles of Fair Trade." As I recall, they started life out of a Mennonite Church and I believe many of those involved continue to be associated, though it is actually it's own organization/business I believe. What can you find here? Clothing items, chocolate, coffee, tea, home decor, wall decor, jewelry, books, some music, and a whole lot more. I honestly can't imagine going through my holiday season without visiting Global Gifts. The original manager back in the day, Julie, was a compassionate supporter of some of my own early outreach events including early Tenderness Tour events. Truly, this has been a wonderful business with wonderful people for an awfully long time. Global Gifts is consistently wonderful at each location and continues to be one of Indy's true gems.

There was a time in my life when you could easily catch me doing the trifecta of stores here -…read moreMichaels, PetsMart, and Marsh. Alas, life changes and I don't really frequent this corner anymore with Marsh long gone and PetsMart no longer having as many live animals as they once had. While I'm not exactly a crafty person, I've seemingly always found something I like at Michaels. It's also always been a prime option for me when I've needed something framed. I'm not a fan of Hobby Lobby for a variety of reasons - so, on those rare occasions I need something in the craft arena this tends to be where I go. I'd been looking for an affordable Christmas wreath along with a couple basic decorations. I saw the Michaels Black Friday ad and decided to stop by after church today. This location has accessible parking, though it's not ADA (there's no actual signage). There's an appropriate curb cut and automatic doors. As is nearly always true for craft stores, the aisles tend to be a bit difficult for wheelchair users. I do like that they have the shorter carts. Store personnel tended to be friendly and I will say that craft-oriented shoppers tend to be friendlier than the "cut in front of me and you'll die" shoppers at your usual big box retailers. Michaels was definitely decked out for Christmas and it really dominated the store. They have pretty much all self-serve kiosks for check-out these days - I like that they have big screens (let's face it, Michaels has a high number of older shoppers). I didn't find everything I'd hoped to find at Michaels, though I did find a couple great items at great prices. Check out was quick and the rep was super helpful. Heck, I even signed up for the rewards club (3% back on all purchases, 6% once you hit $300). They also can look up your receipts if you need to make a return - great for folks like me who tend to lose receipts. Michaels has classes, events, and they still have a great selection of frames. They're great for knitting supplies, hobby activities, art supplies, and much more. For Christmas, you can get quite a bit at a wide variety of prices. This was a solid experience. It sure wasn't five star, especially because some of the aisles definitely had some accessibility issues, but it was a very solid four-star and I'd definitely go back. I will note they frequently have items outside their door - in itself wonderful, however, at times they do block the sidewalk in case you're wanting to go to PetsMart next door. Haverty's has taken the old Marsh spot.

The staff are very helpful though the store layout is a bit cramped for ease of accessibly. Aisles are well labeled. I find the pricing to be a bit high but the sales are very good (50%) and clearance (60-70%) even better.

I needed a couple cards and was able to find what I wanted easily except for the distraction of the great cheese boards.

The store looked so bright and cheery with all the displays set up for Mother's Day and Spring. I used my Hallmark Crown club coupons and ended up getting three cards for about $3 total. That's a great deal - if you've shopped for cards recently; then you know they are expensive. They will be closed soon for a short time while the exterior renovations get completed. It's perhaps best to call to verify they are open.

Good news is, this spot has a variety of price points and nearly everything is educational in some way, shape or form. I felt like we couldn't go wrong here. It was also so nostalgic to explore all the items and recall early elementary years- science kits, phonics, outdoor play, learning books, you name it. This store packs a punch. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was. We ended up with a mini robot kit and a drill set. Can't wait for our next visit!
