Cute store with nice gift ideas! I purchased a West Philly T-shirt a few years ago and always wanted to revisit. I finally had an opportunity and purchased a necklace that I love. I’m definitely going back!

I like the products and appreciate local artists, cards, and gifts. But I just got back from walking there in the summer heat and poor air quality after checking their hours online via Google after waiting 3 days for them to open. They were closed with a note that they would not be open for shopping, only pick up of online orders. A responsible business would post that in their online hours. Cannot count on them!!

I’ve come here for years for gifts, cards, stickers, and frankly more earrings than I should admit. The woman who runs this place has always been kind and she organizes the bi-annual Craft Fest! The selections are thoughtful and (for the most part) local. A real staple!

I really wanted to like Vix because they support local artists and their products are cute. I’ve been wanting to check it out for some time and finally got around to it yesterday and had a really uncomfortable experience. The woman behind the counter should not be in a sales or customer service role. The vibe I got from her was definitely stuck up and judgmental. It made me not want to purchase some of the things I liked and I’m def not going again.

I've always wanted to stop and shop at VIX, but due to my work schedule was unable to do so. This past Saturday, I was more than happy when I happened to walk by and find it opened. A pair of butterfly earrings caught my eye and Amanda was more than happy to assist me by offering to get them out of the window. She showed me some other beautifully handmade earrings and I was immediately drawn by her pleasant personality. I plan to shop there again and I would strongly recommend the shop to anyone that appreciates unique finds to visit as well.
