Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.

They have a wall with a bunch of gag gifts which I'm always up for pranking my friends & family. They're are some inappropriate things that are not children friendly but they did have some children's gifts in here so I would be careful about bringing your young children in here as there are things that as a parent you may not want them to see. Lots of magnets, stickers, lists on pads of paper, fake poop, baby onesies with hilarious sayings on them. Check out my photos' for some of the fun items for sale in here. This is a store you must stop in to check out.

I'm trying to understand what the big draw is for this place. Our hostess took us here and told us…read morehow amazing it is. I'd say there are some cute/ humorous things available to purchase. I'd also say for every item on that list there are 10 junk / ridiculous items of dollar store quality at tourist prices. I didn't see anything I'd say was truly unique. Essentially, it's a joke store, Spencer's, main street store and tourist shop all in one. The goal appears to be adult-ish humor, tho I'm guessing it's around the Ace Ventura level...

Traditional icons like snowmen, cookies and characters from Disney, Star Wars and Marvel- they have charm and mark the years that go by all too quickly. This Hallmark shop has a little of everything from ornaments to dish towels, table mats, cards and holiday decor. The only disappointment was that a quarter of their dated ornaments were sold out including the display ornaments. I'm sure COVID put a slowdown on inventory. It's a really nice shop, convenient if you're running a grocery errand next door at Market Basket.
