“Newtown HQ, you have my heart <3 This store is so lovely and has such a wide collection of all cute things I want to gift and buy for myself haha
I came on my birthday to get a couple of blind boxes and was obsessed with the ones the owner recommended. Such sweet hospitality, felt so welcoming. Will be back soon!”
“Just received my order and everything..even the packaging is stunning, you can see that a lot of care went into all of it. I am already thinking about who I can give one to as a gift!”
“I love this store! I visit whenever I'm in NYC. They have a large selection of scientific specimens and natural world items. Skulls, gemstones, meteorites, aquatic items, fossils, and so much more. Anyone looking for interesting items for themselves or as a gift, should make it a point to go to the Evolution Store.”

“Such a wonderful shop. I find cards and gifts here that I can’t get anywhere else! And the staff has always been extremely helpful and nice every time I go here.”
“Great gift shop, has all the regular stuff you’d want to find, but the prices are fair, and the staff are very friendly and kind.
We even got a holiday gift of a free magnet.
Kevin who I believe is the owner is super nice and definitely deserves the credit!”
“Very cute gift shop! Perfect if you are looking for unique souvenirs, or small gifts. They have clothing, beautiful cards, art books, candles, puzzles and more focused on Harlem and black American culture.”

“What an amazing little shop in the neighborhood! You can find gifts for any occasion for your loved ones and kids. But the most amazing part is that you can order and design your own merchandise.”
“Very appropriately named. A totally wicked awesome gift shop and home store. Not just a shop with cool stuff and great gift and home ideas but it has a soul too. Your not just in the store with staff glued to their phone and annoyed to have to interact with You, no this is a rare shop where u can get personal attention and have questions answered and get real sincere assistance which is great when looking for a gift for someone. This is a Family store and it is a true ally to the whole community always active and involved in supporting and enriching this community. Thank You Awesome and I
Wish You great success! ❤️??”
“I booked the candle making class as a date night activity for my girlfriend and I and it was the perfect experience! Melissa, the owner, is so friendly and welcoming. She teaches you a little bit about candles at the beginning but then really lets you get as creative as you want with all the different scents! It's also very affordable for a 2 hour date night and it's BYOB!”

“Appreciate this store a lot - I emailed them to check on a book and shortly after received a response, which is somewhat rare. They didn’t have it in stock but ordered it for me and I was able to pick it up a few days later. I will be back :)”

“I discovered this shop on a casual stroll and I was introduced to the Bleu Torch Fragrance Collection. As a lover of grounding scents, I have found several new scents that quickly became my favorites. Since my initial purchased, I’ve returned twice for them! Karlon, thank you. He’s attentive and very knowledgeable. Go and see Karlon for your next favorite scent.”
“What a beautiful shop, full of rich history and guided by people who move through the world with deep passion and love for their community. Even before stepping inside Wing On Wo & Co, it was a delight to see the mural across Mosco Street, “In the Future Our Asian Community is Safe” created by multiple generations of community members and project spearheaded by the W.O.W. Project. The building itself is crowned with custom terrazzo parapet tiles at the top, blended with broken pieces of porcelain as a tribute to its recent centennial celebrations.
The family behind Wing On Wo & Co—Gary, Lorraine, Mei, and their staff—are such kind and welcoming people that being there truly feels like being at home. I picked up a necklace, charming chopstick rests, and beautiful postcards—this shop is the perfect place to find thoughtful souvenirs! My favourite piece from here however, is the purple fish vase that I love to keep my dried roses in :)
Beautiful, beautiful—a must-go and must-return spot in Chinatown, NYC!”
“Annie's is very very cute with an amazing selection of eclectic and cool gifts. My daughter who is 5 is obsessed with the place. The folks now know us by name because we shop there so much! The employees are all very kind and thoughtful and they're a real pillar for the PS community. Only caveat is that I'm finding what feels like price hikes this year and it hurts to see! Inflation is real and I'm not sure if we can still go there as often as we want to.”
“Staple in the neighborhood with a huge stock- if you don’t see it, ask and they will help you find it. Hard to find beautiful Italian imports and great gifts for family.”

“Great place to buy cute and creative gifts! They have jewelry, cards, puzzles, kitchen supplies, scarves, and more. There are a lot of items made by local artists and vendors.”
“Hi, I’m contacting you from AOVILA, a small brand that makes zodiac candles for gift and souvenir shops.
I have a simple idea that could help you sell more birthday and astrology-themed gifts in your shop.
What is the best email address to send you a one-page wholesale sheet and a small test proposal?
Thank you, and by the way, I’ve seen many reviews saying your prices and service are great – that’s exactly the kind of store we’d love to work with. ?”

“Vlak voor sluitingstijd van het MOMA, de museumwinkel bezocht. Waar de entree precies was, was niet geheel duidelijk, maar eenmaal binnen heb ik het boek gevonden waar ik voor kwam. Het is een mooie en ruime winkel, met van alles en nog wat - onder meer een ruime boekencollectie, posters, kaarten, magneten, tasjes en designitems. Speciale vermelding voor de dame die onder aan de trap iedereen welkom heette en weer een fijne dag wenste, maar door veel voorbijgangers genegeerd werd. Dit moet voor haar of de persoon die er op een ander moment staat toch aangenamer kunnen worden ingericht?”
“Experience was amazing the owner helped me with everything I needed and went through all of the products throughly with me. 100% recommend and must visit for all your card needs.”
“i love this shop of thoughtfully-curated gifts. the cozy space feels whimsical & warm, and i always find lovely things here. + so excited they now have coffee!”

“The decorations, items and owners are just straight up cool and good vibes! There are many small businesses that look similar or have the same items, but this one stands out in all the best ways. It's very unique! The owners are dog friendly and are friendly!”
“Outstanding service! Kept me updated the whole way through the progress of my order. Colin is very kind and has completely outstanding customer service. He talks with me with respect as a friend and explains things in depth without just giving 1 word answers. I’ll continue to support this business, I will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks for everything!”
“I absolutely love this store! Barbara was incredibly informative and helpful. She took the time to help me find exactly what I was looking for. I was searching for a gift for a toddler and found the most precious items. Don’t hesitate to visit – she has the most unique, beautiful, and high-quality items. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Anwar was really kind and lovely! He helped check us out at the counter. He was talking to us about things in the area. He was telling us there was a table where we could open out ateez photocards. He was like he said his name means a light, to which should always keep shining. Hope we can see him again when we go back in a month! Thanks also rest of the staff! I didnt get their names but there were three other employees and were also helpful and kind as well. Thank you all hope you are doing well.”
“This store is so wonderful. Every time I walk in, I feel calm and just enjoy being in there so much. I have purchased stones and crystals for my home that bring me much joy !”
“Another really cute store in the area. This is mostly cards, some books and some unique and funny finds. It is a gift shop, even if Google maps search tells you otherwise. If you are looking for a stationary store then this is not exactly it. You can still get really cute/unique New York souvenir items and greeting cards. They have a lot of amazing candles. I loved the owl hanging from the ceiling and a paper-mache dog. Unfortunately they are not for sale but you can admire them at the store.”
“Friendly owner and a huge and cute collection of things. A bit expensive in my opinion, like 5$ for a sticker or 20$ for a hair clip is too much. But there were a lot of fairly priced items”
“I loved every piece of item in the store. My new go to for all my body oils, butters , candles… everything! The quality of the products and beyond beautiful and outstanding. Worth every single penny. Truly happy I found this place”
“Look nowhere else! couldn’t have asked for a better party planner! From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism, creativity, and care. The attention to detail was incredible — every part of the event was beautifully organized and stress-free. My guests couldn’t stop complimenting how seamless and stunning everything looked. I’m so grateful for the time, effort, and heart put into making the day perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a planner who truly goes above and beyond!”
