Lots of fun stuff if you need a gift for someone, like toys, candies, stickers, greeting cards, clothing, and more. If you are looking for Michigan or Ypsilanti-specific gifts, this is definitely a good spot to check out.

This place is really really cool! It made me, a 38 year old woman, feel like a kid again. So many…read moreunique gift ideas. They have so many different themed merch like tv shows, Harry Potter, Hello Kitty, Care Bares, Mulang, Mario, and a billion things that I don't know about. I went here before Valentine's Day and ended up finding a Super Mario Fire stuffy for my hubby. He loves it! They also had very unique and funny cards! They have tons of candy of every variety. I found ring pop gummies here & my husband ate them in a day. Tons of toys & stuffed animals. One thing I will say is their prices were a bit high. But I imagine with cost of operation these days it makes sense and I am in a spot where I can support this small business (reasonably). It is a super fun store. Use caution bringing a small child into this store, as there will be several things within their reach and they will probably want to get their hands on everything. I honestly wouldn't bring a kid younger than 8 or 9 in this store. If you need gift inspiration, come to this cute store!

On a recent evening wandering through Ann Arbor, a friend and I decided to duck into this store to…read morecheck it out. Pro tip: make sure you check in on Yelp as you enter (I forgot to -- amateur move). In any case, it's full of all sorts of unique and fun items that see perfect for gifting to someone else, or to yourself. As I browsed around the store I found some mittens that looked perfect for what I need -- thick, fleece-lined, and fold back to free up your fingers and act as gloves. The top part around your fingers attaches to a button on the back of the hand to keep it in place. I also grabbed a cute card for an upcoming holiday and got both the items at a very reasonable price. Next time in town, I'm checking in on Yelp and checking out what there is to see here!

Three words: OMG! The ever changing window line always catches my eye every time I walk by that…read morepure white storefront; I think it's the nicest window display in Ann Arbor. Going into Dear Golden is like walking into a wearable museum. This is the nicest, classist, most tastefully curated vintage store I've been in. They also started doing more jewelry and home goods too which don't stay around long so I always see something new they have put out. I also like that the owner and Jasmine (love her) are never pushy or walking around trying to up sell me things they know don't fit quite right or don't match my hair. To the contrary, when I need any help they will whisk into the changing room to tie up that corset one more half inch if I give them a little wink. Finally, I love that they are extremely knowledgeable about the historical significance of the clothes and jewelry. They know all the top--and lesser known albeit important--designers of the various periods and they have encyclopedic breadth of why the clothes were designed and worn. With all the nice articles in there, makes me wonder what's in her storage...guess I'll just have to wait and come back soon.

I could spend an entire day here. I wish they were open Monday's as that is my day off but... always come down on weekends when I can. I emailed the owner looking for a dress I had previously tried on in store and she had it available and ready online to purchase immediately! That timing was rare and special! I received it four days later! All the reviews about staff being snobby.... I don't understand at all. My partner and I travel to different shops such as this across the US and collect unique items... there are snobby people but dear golden... they aren't them. People reviewing saying they are, now that sounds snobby. I wish dear golden all the best and can't wait to return.

I took one step in the front door and just had to stop and look around. This place is awesome. Each…read morestep was another discovery of something I have never even thought of, let alone have seen before. Great gift ideas, huge assortment of crafts and such quality! So much to see and take-in. This is absolutely the perfect place to find inspiration for decorating, gifting or crafting. Fairie home and garden room. Candy kiosk. Every turn is something else. My words don't do it justice. You have to see for yourself. Bumble's has two locations. The one on Middle street is my favorite. There is also one on Main street that has more jewelry type stuff.

And it didn't…read morehelp when an older man and his wife walked in and he crop dusted the whole store, making it smell bad. I had to walk to the far corner to look at stuff. They have all sorts of cool little gadgets. A small selection for the kiddos too. And really neat stuff for the kitchen. A bit pricey but we had fun browsing. Yet another store where money was spent. The lady working was so sweet too. She forgot to give my friend her receipt and came running across the street to give it to us. Thumbs up for customer service!

I also need to bring some of my Wiccan friends to see all the items for them. While I only took a few pictures, you can find a wide range of choices. Personal care, bath, and lotions. Jewelry, clothing, and hair items. Art work, art glass, and other items to make your home interesting. This small store has a huge variety that change as artists bring stuff into sell. If you have a dry, dark, sense of humor, you will find lots to smile at and for them, hopefully buy.

This is quite an amazing place filled with so much fun and curious trinkets in such a small place…read more We came upon this place because we were searching some specific clothing that was sold here. While they have a very small selection of clothing, it is very unique and worth the drive. We were searching for an out-of-state vendor they sold here. We were not disappointed. We found exactly what we were looking for and more. We purchased some clothing, earring, and stickers, but found many more items to come back for later. The individual working here was super friendly, talkative, and helpful and made our experience here even more magical. This is such a magical mystical store, it has an esoteric awesome vibe. Highly recommend seeking out this store.

I've never actually had any of Zingerman's candy bars so I bought two full size bars, plus a small version of the Cashew Cow. I think both the Zzang and Peanut Butter Crush were equally good. The store also has non-Zingerman's brand candies, such as Venchi, which is also a high-end brand. The shop doubles as a coffee shop, as well, and I think may have also had some small food items, but don't quote me on that. Overall, I would return the next time I'm in town.

Located in downtown Plymouth, the buildings look historical. Public parking is available but limited to 2 hours parking. It gave us enough time to park and walk towards the GTC. I find the window display from the outside to be intimidating and made me think that the prices of the items they sell are expensive. Surprised to find out later that they sell toys at a comparable price. most of the employees we saw were female...I find them friendly and knowledgeable of what's new and trendy when it comes to toys for the kids and young at heart. saw a lot of plush bears/puppies, and age appropriate educational toys. what's great about the store is they have a point system for every dollar spent. they may ask you to join and record your phone number so they can contact you if the items you're looking for is already available. looking forward in opening my first box of museum series Smiski!
