“Love Art Star! I have gotten many great presents as well as things for myself. They did move to the Independence Visitor Center at 599 Market Street which is not yet reflected here as of my review.”
“I’m from Ohio but I’ve been looking for the Gobfrey whale shark Jellycat for ages because my girlfriend wanted it but it’s always sold out online. I was finally able to get the real one for the orginal price and I can give it to her for Valentine’s Day now. The packaging it came in was so cute and it even came with some gummy nerd clusters. This place is great!!!”

I had first read about the store online where information found on the website suggested shopping in person would offer the fullest selection. So true! There is an immense array of gift items waiting to be discovered, so much so that I walked around the store several times. I did not want to overlook anything. The staff are terrific, and the store is an easy walk from 30th Street Station. Be sure to check it out!”

“The perfect shop for any last minute interesting gifts that stand out. The shop owner has an amazing eye and I always love browsing her seasonal gifts or tons of plant options. I always end up bringing home something for myself whenever I visit to pet Sabrina, the shop cat.”
“My husband received a wonderful Get Well arrangement from the Edible Arrangements in Willow Grove. His rehab doesn’t allow him chocolates so I enjoyed every chocolate covered strawberry! We loved all the fresh fruit, it was great quality. What a thoughtful and enjoyable gift to receive. I’ll be sending these in the future!”

Rhiannon has done such a great job with the new space, and I’m proud to count myself both a customer and a friend.”
“This is the best place to get whatever you need for African apparel. My wife and I came from New Jersey to Philly to shop and have wedding apparel made for our wedding. Mr Sandaga made us feel at home and he assured us that he would have it made and fitting right and he absolutely exceeded our expectations, our wedding was the talk of the Town, very elegant and beautiful. People were in awe as we took the stage at the church saying that we look absolutely gorgeous. Kudos and a huge Thank You to Mr Sandaga and his excellence. He has everything, every pattern and color you can ever want. You must go to see Sandaga'a African Wear, You Will Not Be Disappointed, You will Be Glad That You Did. Again, Thank You Sandaga.”
