Yours Truly is a cute, quaint, well-organized and well-stocked stationary store in Brooklyn. While…read moreon a trip to New York I popped in looking for some New York-based gift ideas for my sister. The woman behind the counter was very helpful in trying to assist me with finding something, and she even suggested some other stationary stores in the area too. I could tell she really cared about my shopping experience, and she was very knowledgeable. Well, despite her recommendations, I returned to Yours Truly days later and purchased some things from there. It just had more of what I was looking for, and I was more than happy to give the woman the business. Overall, it's a great stationary store to check out whilst in Brooklyn!

Cute, odd little shop. I guess I read it as more of a gift shop, whereas it is much more a…read morestationery store with greeting cards and some gift-ish or gift-adjacent ephemera. Their heaviest area of product seems to be greeting cards and wrapping paper along with pens, paper, post-its and other desk-type stationery. Staff is kind and product quality seems fine, although you will pay for that quality--that quirky card or small swatch of bespoke wrapping paper will be in the $7-10 range. Felt like the kind of shop I would normally adore, but I keep stopping in and leaving with nothing. It is incredibly niche for people interested in special or unique or bespoke products--and I do love them for that, it feels like the Brooklyn way, and I love that we have these bespoke shops for some people. This one is just a smidge too fancy and impractical and pricey for me.

Great bookstore with tons of books, toys, and tons of merchandise from Japan…read more Stopped by since my kid is a huge anime fan. We were exhausted from walking all day but suddenly he found a burst of energy and was fine browsing the store for over an hour. There are two floors with a cafe on the 2nd floor. Overall, there is a really big selection and there were lots of people shopping while we were there. Service was good; the registers are located downstairs and they have lots of cute items + point of purchase displays. I was overstimulated by the time we reached the register but that may just have been because it had been a long day.

I seriously need to stop coming here but I just can't. I love a good bookstore, and this one has…read morealways been special to me. Located right across from Bryant Park, it's almost impossible to walk by without going in. It's usually crowded, but that's part of its charm. The store has three levels, each worth exploring. The main floor features an impressive selection of books, including bestsellers and new releases right as you walk in. The lower level is where you'll find collectibles, specialty pens, beautiful notebooks and stationery, unique gifts, even more books, and plenty of cute items that will tempt you to spend more than you planned. The book selection is excellent, although I have to admit the prices can be a bit on the higher side. The staff are always friendly, and checkout is surprisingly quick, so don't let the long lines discourage you. One thing to note: drinks aren't allowed inside, so you'll need to leave them with security before entering. If you're visiting the area or spending time around Bryant Park, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you're a book lover or just enjoy browsing, this bookstore is absolutely worth a visit.

From the store logo, to much of the patterns and designs on the stationery and household items that one might find in a cozy writing desk nook, cat inspiration is the theme in this store. You can find cat greeting cards, notebooks, stickers, ink stamps, postcards, memo notes, letterhead, tea towels, and store merch, as well as other products like candles, ink, washi tape, coasters, etc. The store itself is quite tiny like other reviews have mentioned, it gets crowded when there are more than 7-8 customers shopping at the same time. Staff are friendly. They have a lovely wall of letters and notecards posted up right next to the door when you enter. *the art or practice of writing letters.

Reason I went back today had to buy these cat nip toys for my cats. Lockwood has a good selection of cat toys. Also, I can never leave without buying one of those gel pens "Le Pen." I know. Why not order them in Amazon, but why should I? The way Lockwood displays their stationary is just so tempting not to buy a few. The candle selection is good quality. I bought one called "Sinner" and for the size my home smells great. I wish they can bring more esoteric items and place them all in one place. That would be cool. The associate at the register was really nice and cheerful. Can anyone guess the next time I drop by again?

Nice selection of young child to latency age child books-- many seasonal (currently Halloween). Good selection of animal and food Jellycat stuffed animals, too. Some NYC themes board books, and a small but nice collection of infant and young child shirts, onesies, and beanies. Prices are a little on the higher side but it's the West Village and higher end stuff. Great place to get kids and family some alternative souvenirs to the cheap novelty items at most NYC gift shops.
