I toured one of their staged homes a few months ago and was tremendously impressed with how beautiful and inviting they made the space look. I was ready to move in--and everyone at the open house seemed to feel the same way. If you're thinking of selling or renting a space, calling Revamp Buffalo could definitely help you get the best possible price.

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.

We were able to negotiate a seat cushion/fabric replacement only and save the full wood refurbishment (working on a budget)! The nice young lady on staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Pricing was on point... they have some very nice statement pieces that are more pricey as you'd expect. But the non-statement pieces were very reasonably priced and exquisitely refurbished. Perfect place for home furnishings in the Buffalo area!

This is a one stop shop for gifts for any occasion, and has everything from cards, home decor, practical items, jewelry to personal care needs.

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.

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.

I know Little Salmon offers free delivery within a 10-mile radius of their shop in the Elmwood Village and that I can also purchase online but they've inspired me to find a sustainable/zero waste store in Los Angeles and I cannot wait to continue to work towards an incredible lifestyle. Thank you, Little Salmon, for your incredible mission and all that you do!
