Such a cute spot! If you are ever looking for a custom gift to give to someone (or for yourself!)…read morethis is the place to stop at. Handmade jewelry, candles galore & specialized small batch food items, like tea & hot sauce. Some of the items are a little over priced but over all the place seemed affordable! Walked away with a chai tea concentrate that I'm excited to try!

This was the first Brooklyn gift shop I went to when I first intentionally looked for a gift shop…read more I was already along cortelyou when I remembered this place existed. I needed some small trinkets for a friend's daughter and they delivered. I appreciate that it delves into different topics despite its small space such as food and related accessories, drink accessories (ex: corkscrews/drinking glasses), clothes and home design. Nine times out of ten I can get a gift for a friend from here that is unique. There are items there that are made by Brooklyn/nyc artists. But depending on when you visit, there are not too many things that are NYC/Brooklyn themed (there was an ash tray, a puzzle sets, magnets, & keychains when I visited off the top of my head). To my knowledge, there is not a website that shows all they have available without visiting but I would recommend looking at their Instagram to see what new things they have plus to see what events they are holding. It is relatively cramped even when you are one of two people perusing the store. Every time I visit, there are new items to look at. This of course means that some items you may have seen previously are gone. But they do have items that you are sure to see when you visit such as Breukelen Rub spices, Mike's hot honey and the street sign magnets that I love (I have multiple). If I am looking for a gift for a friend and I wanted a twist, I would come looking here. Is there a guarantee that I will find what I want? Not necessarily but I will have fun trying

Though in the last two years I just quickly stepped in to view the adorable, glass Christmas ornaments, there's a lot more. It's one of those cozy stores that carry unique gifts such as socks, tumblers, glassware and more. There's even a wall of pet toys and they're adorable. Some items are pricey. The Christmas ornaments are eye catching. Food ornaments seem to be the trend and Wood's Grove carries a wide variety. Of note: I'm all for supporting small businesses however, I tend to shop at more notable stores whose return policy is beyond store credit. I don't know what their return policy is but when I asked an employee about any sales on Small Business Saturday, her response was " we don't do sales". Excuseeeee me. It was just a question! Despite this, I might be inclined to pop in and buy a gift for my cats--if I remember. Giving 4 stars since the merchandise is attractive. **Update** I made a purchase over the weekend. The store's small space made it difficult to navigate throughout. I found out their return policy is actually store credit. Holiday items aren't returnable. Staff not particularly friendly. I just feel lukewarm about this business.

There's also a $10 and under section and finally, Five Beyond features merchandise at $25 such as coffee makers or special gifts like a mini pool table. By merchandise, I'm referring to exercise equipment, toys, pet section, toiletries, candy, socks, loungewear,cards, holiday items (Christmas, Halloween and Easter as well as Summer items) and more. It's such a fun store and I continue to love shopping here. Wherever I see a Five Below, I'll check it out--Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn. If you're not familiar, you're missing out and need to visit ASAP. Those who know--know what I'm talking about.

On top of all that I was pleasantly surprised to have found a community of creative thinkers and organizers who regularly host events inside the space which give a platform to the incredible talent that this neighborhood has fostered over the years! In the best thing is that they don't take themselves too seriously I am writing this review so that others understand that the owners are kind responsible people prepared to amend and understand any trespass or impasse, just message them on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/awesomebrooklyn?igsh=MTJtNTZ1NXoyZDJ5Mw== @awesomebrooklyn

Not only did she help me determine what model cartridge I needed and ordered one, she personally gave me an older cartridge to use in its stead until the new one arrived--truly above and very beyond. In addition to exemplary and personal attention, they have some interesting, diverse, quality products. Most of their products--particularly for the home--are high quality and very eco-friendly. In addition to housewares and such, they have great gift items for adults as well as for kids, cool, unique greeting cards, and some unique surprises, such as a surprisingly good candy/truffle assortment and a random box of vinyl. Fun and friendly shop to stop in, and very grateful it is in our neighborhood!

My awesome little friend Max loved his evil blob containment device, and he still hasn't made it to the store yet. Brought a friend who was visiting from Los Angeles here the other Day and he was such a sport he tested out the cape on top of the cape tester machine. Given that he's a creative and works with tons of kids I figured the experience would be priceless. End result: it was. He ate it up. Can't wait to hear how much he loves the Time Travel Mart - in Los Angeles, and the Pirate Supply Store in San Francisco. Dave you're an incredible guy!

Just take a peek into the tutoring room in the back with all of the happy kids and volunteers. If your date doesn't think you're cool because you know about this place - dump them immediately). Pick up Scale: N/A (Bring your own friends the people here are fun to talk to but not a place for mingling). Strong Suggestion: Take the train, walk a few blocks, enjoy the restaurants nearby.

The cafe was good, with a few seats by the large windows that get plenty of light.
