Wow! Unbelievable! We made a wishlist order for a few…read more Ornaments. Making the wishlist was easy and it was nice to not have to wait or try to find the ornaments ourselves. The free gifts such as the bag and LED snowman where a nice addition and that's why I'm not giving a one star. One of the ornaments we ordered was missing. We asked the staff member about this and she responded that we didn't have any other ornaments marked off. She went to look for it and said they where sold out. I highly doubt that they'd be sold out of a simple Wall:e ornament on the second day of sales. The staff member did however wave the shipping fee and made sure Wall:e would get to our house. He isn't here yet but I will update with when he arrives. Lastly let me warn people coming into the store that there is a .50 cent sanitation fee on every transaction. They're is an option to get rid of it however you won't know you can until it's to late. Personally I don't understand why it has to be so high. You really think I used 50 cents worth of hand sanitizer and napkins in your store? Just be aware of this fee if your going to shop here. Overall really disappointed in this experience but at least the ornaments are good quality.

Thank you for staying open during this time and bringing colorful joy to the spring time season! I am excited to give this cute gift!

It's probably targeted towards tweens and younger. However, I think the store is a nice place to visit when I need to add the finishing touches to my gift-wrapping. Yes - i am a serious gift wrapper. Everything has to be perfect. Intially Yours has various gift packaging supplies along with "final touch" gifts such as a bottle stopper or a wine cover. The baby clothes are cute. They have knitted hats that look like ice cream or have a squid sitting on top. They also sell those baby high heels. So if you have children, this is a cute little store to take them to.

It's…read morea great resource for greeting cards because they're cheap but with a better selection than your average dollar store. The quality of the cards is somewhat iffy, but I'd rather that than pay out the nose for a Hallmark card. Just recently I was here looking for the perfect card for my husband's birthday. I found it so easily and quickly that I had to believe the gift gods were looking down on me that day. The store doesn't just sell cards and stationary. There's a lot of trinkets and plenty of Christian memorabilia to go around. The ladies at the counter were both polite and wearing masks. Unfortunately, there was a little hiccup with my transaction, but that's because of technical difficulty with the store's system. It all eventually went through and didn't take too long. The store is ultimately the place to go for cards and stationary. It also happens to be next to a post office, which I'm sure was by design. If you want an affordable, nice card to give to someone (or many someones), the Cardsmart shoukd always be your first stop!

Any of them lean toward a perfect "rainy day with a cup of coffee and a candle" vibe. Staff was friendly. The whole shop gives a very inclusive energy and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Parking is a challenge; find a parallel-parking spot down the street. (If you're familiar with the Elmwood area that will not be a surprise).

Unfortunately, the store has been having issues and has a bit of a ... stink. They advised that they'd had the problem looked into over the summer, but hadn't been able to clear the smell. Shame about that. If you're looking for unusual giftware and especially unique greeting cards, this is your place. The range of items is very impressive, including the inks, wrapping papers, bags, pens, erasers, notebooks, and all kinds of other stationery items. Same for stamps, stickers, etc. The great part is that there is very little overlap between the merchandise here and the goods carried at the other shop more or less across the street, so it's always worth your while to hit both. There is a $10 minimum for purchases on plastic (whether debit or credit) but the service is pretty good and I always end up finding something I want and love. Love coming here every time I'm in this part of town.
