Love it. Wanted to buy all of it. But who has space for all that!

One of my favorite stores downtown, and unfortunately one of the few locally-owned still standing. Don’t visit Madison and miss out on their shop, or the one next door. If you live in Madison, go for a visit. We love for gift giving but also for ourselves.

Adore this shop! Everywhere you look there is something you must have! Funny cards, great stickers, hilarious magnets, fantastic books, etc. Fun little areas like an area for kids to make a free post card. A place to do a puzzle, everyone does a bit as they walked past! The staff was amazing, it was so busy and I asked where I could find a card I saw in the window, the cashier said, "Oh I will just go get it for you" and got it out of the window!
