What an absolutely wonderful addition to the Hertel Ave shopping scene…read more This charming gift shop is chocked full of all kinds of things that you just can't stop say " ohhh look at that" or " oh my gosh how adorable is that?" or " what a great idea that is!" This is a new women owned business and not just Jessica the women but Stella the dog (when her schedule allows) opened to enhance our community. What can I get there you ask? Well you can get a baby soft robe or a bag of malted milk peanut butter balls. Maybe a set of baby animal finger puppets or a dog blanket and toy Christmas gift set. How about a Buffalo sweatshirt or some fluffy slippers. Maybe some thermal tumblers or a s'mores Christmas tree ornament. Of course I simply couldn't resist getting a couple of things...... and I'm very certain you will have a very hard time resisting something calling your name too. I'm so excited to see what Jessica and Stella will be filling the store with after the holidays. I think this is definitely one of those stores that will have just the perfect gift that you aren't going to see everywhere. Oh and don't forget " one for you and one for me, two for me and one for you...." Shopping is a challenge with all these adorable choices!!

I enjoyed looking in all the nooks and crannies and making sure I didn't miss anything. The owner, Jen, is very friendly and welcoming and told me her name as soon as I walked in and conveyed that if there was anything I needed, to not hesitate to let her know. Also, Stella, is a dog. She greeted me when I walked in and I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time I was moving around the shop because she was so adorable and had bells around her collar. I purchased a llama ornament for myself, and a coaster with a snarky saying on it for my mom. Visit this shop ASAP because you will fall in love with the setting, the owner, and the dog, Stella. I can't wait to see how the store is decorated past Christmas. Right now, there are two stunning Christmas trees and it looks like a winter wonderland.

It may be just because we are in the midst of Mafia season that it seems like half the store is chock full of Bills merch. For all the fans, it is a well stocked gift giving haven. And for the rest of us, there's plenty else to see. There's local snacks, novelties and teeny tiny duckies to brighten your day. I got greeted by two associates, so you know that hometown hospitality is their thing. They've recently expanded so that there's some much needed elbow room to step back and appreciate all that Buffalo artists have to offer. Which is apparently a lot.

We found a vase in super light glass, which is actually a carafe, made by Zodax. Love it. There are of course candles, I think every gift store has those. But also art that's interesting, sculpture that is quite a talking point and some very fun and handy kitchen gadgets. They also have jewelry at reasonable prices. And great desk boxes, they can hold pens, cards, paper clips etc. You get the idea, different sizes and shapes. Well worth a visit for a gift, for you or someone else. Street parking.

When we visited on a Sunday afternoon, half of the back area was sectioned off so there wasn't a whole lot of items to browse. I'm under a tight budget so the prices here didn't appeal to me, but they were overall pretty reasonable. And it's great that the items weren't trendy items semi-massed produced that's sold under the guise of a gift shop trying to make it appear unique or local ish. You know what I mean?! The hubs actually surprised me because he ended up with some Feelgoodz house slippers. He loves online shopping more than being in-person at a store. So after he kept examining a pair of slippers and looking at prices online, he said he'd take 'em. I guess he went for a functional item. I've never encountered a whole store with fair trade items (not that I can remember) so running into this one was really cool. If we are to be consumers in this world, why not make it count a bit.

It's…read morea great resource for greeting cards because they're cheap but with a better selection than your average dollar store. The quality of the cards is somewhat iffy, but I'd rather that than pay out the nose for a Hallmark card. Just recently I was here looking for the perfect card for my husband's birthday. I found it so easily and quickly that I had to believe the gift gods were looking down on me that day. The store doesn't just sell cards and stationary. There's a lot of trinkets and plenty of Christian memorabilia to go around. The ladies at the counter were both polite and wearing masks. Unfortunately, there was a little hiccup with my transaction, but that's because of technical difficulty with the store's system. It all eventually went through and didn't take too long. The store is ultimately the place to go for cards and stationary. It also happens to be next to a post office, which I'm sure was by design. If you want an affordable, nice card to give to someone (or many someones), the Cardsmart shoukd always be your first stop!

Graser's had good reviews, was in Amherst and had a nice fall assortment of flowers online so I chose them. I ordered the 'blossoms in vogue' bouquet and vase for her. The picture claimed to be the standard size. It was stunning but I wanted them to be extra special so I ordered the deluxe version of this arrangement. When my aunt sent me a photo of the flowers once they arrived I was appalled... Carnations substituted for roses and the entire bouquet was honestly a fraction of the size shown online! And this was the deluxe! I called the store to speak with them and politely explained I was extremely disappointed. The woman told me they go by a 'recipe' for their arrangements and since they didn't have pink roses they included 5 carnations. She offered to pick up the flowers from my grandmother, remove the carnations and add 3 pink roses although it couldn't be done until tomorrow. I'm not going to confuse my 90 year old grandmother like that... And it still does not make up for the fact that what I received wasn't anything like they advertised online. Maybe it's better to buy direct from inside the store so you see exactly what you're getting. I am extremely embarrassed of the flowers that were delivered and will never be ordering from here again. Should have stuck with Wegman's flower department!
