“We went in later than we would have liked but had the best experience. The person that was there greeted us and just let us look around which is my ideal way to shop, let me know you're there but let me see what draws me in. I ended up selecting a perfume oil and a perfume spray which I immediately loved, along with some stickers. We got into a conversation around niche perfumes and introduced me to another brand I am so excited to try. We came from FL for a concert and I am very happy this ended up being something my husband and I made time for.”

“We stopped in this week and had a great experience. The staff was very nice, offered samples of some things we were on the fence about, PLUS they had the most adorable doggo hanging out! ?
So far I love my products. The body cream is phenomenal and doesn't leave a greasy layer on my skin!
We will absolutely be back!”
“Such a cute shop! I found the cutest T-shirt, sweatshirt, magnet, and stickers here. The staff were also so kind, personable, and helpful. Definitely a fun place to stop for unique and trendy Pittsburgh souvenirs!”

“Was so excited to find a Charlie Bears retailer near me and Kelly’s did not disappoint! Kelly was super knowledgeable about the brand and even personally helped me locate the plush I was looking for. Will definitely be coming back! ?”

“Fabulous little local gift shop - a treat for the eyes. The owner offers such unique and interesting items. Gift wrap with purchase. And always a warm, welcoming smile. LOVE this independent store!”
“Stopped in to snag some Christmas gifts. Walking into Inner Light was like entering the mystical department of Santa's workshop, if Santa was into chakras and not just cookies. Highly recommend!”
“We were just walking around on our recent trip to Pittsburg and walked in. The man working was super kind and knowledgeable. Ended up buying some plants that looked like little shamrocks. Happy to say they made it back to Louisiana safely and they’re loving their new home.”
“?☺️?Love this wonderful store! Vintage items, whimsical items, witty items--such a satisfying hodge-podge of items to browse in a cozy ambiance. While shopping at Robinson Township mall, my daughter, an avid collector, found a bounty of pristine porcelain dolls in this store, to add to her fine collection. Not far from diminutive yet bustling

“Thank you for responding so quickly to my 1 star review and explaining about the computer person being in the store when the salesperson stepped out for a minute. It would have been a good idea that he explain to customers that sales person would be back asap and he was a computer repair person. Now that you explained the situation, I put no blame on the store at all, but the repair person should have better manners. I will definitely be back to your store on my next trip to Shadyside. Thank you.”
“This gift shop in the Phipps welcome center sells some small plants and soils, home decor, toys, jewelry, books, soaps, pantry foods, etcetera.
I have shopped here off and on for years. The employees do a good job. The products are a good quality and make a good gift for yourself or someone else.”

“Great The Seven Sisters gift shop right at the entrance inside Mercy Hospital, who knew!! Discovered local Pittsburgh artisan wares, really impressive. Park in Mercy garage right across the street, free parking for 30 mins. Looks like The Seven Sisters gift shop is getting back to their local grass roots! Great to see Pittsburgh and UPMC!”
“So happy this place is still here. In 1997 I bought stuff that was in style then... And it is all back! Don't change culture Shop. Got my wife a cute scarf during our visit back home. The prices seemed fine for what they offer.”
“I love shopping here knowing that my purchases help support international artisans in earning a fair wage. I can always find a perfect gift for the right price - soaps and spices, jewelry and clothing, notebooks and handmade bags, dishes, games and simple instruments. No plastic.”
“This was my first experience at this store. I only encountered one employee at the register. She was friendly and very helpful with a piece of jewelry I needed help with. I also found a few little things for my grandchildren that were unique. Enjoyed the interaction and browsing in the store.”
“I simply can not say enough about how wonderful this store is. Contemporary Concepts is my go to spot for thoughtful, unique, niche gifts. The friendly staff always steers me in the right direction and often saves me in a pinch.
With the help from a lovely team member, I found this beautiful hand stitched Pittsburgh pillow. Perfect for friends that have recently relocated to PGH.
If you frequent Trader Joe’s, make time to pop downstairs and check out all of their selections. You will be WOW’ed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“visited for the first time today and was greeted with kind and friendly staff and great conversation, will be visiting as soon as i have some extra money to spend on some books!”
“A great experience!
What a fun store! Lots of characters from manga, video game games, Disney, etc…Apparel, Bags, and lots of other cool stuff! A ton of items that would make great birthday, Christmas or everyday gifts!
My son found a shirt that they didn’t sell in his size in-store, so the worker ordered it online and texted us when it was ready for pick-up. Easy transaction!
Would definitely return and recommend!
Plenty of free mall parking. Quick cost, onsite services. Debit and credit cards.

“Oh my goodness what a beautiful shop. I have never visited here before, I just peeked my head in while I was waiting to 🚌🦘 🦘 🦘 jump on the PRT bus 🚌.
What I did gather on my short visit was the shop is amazing and I want a million things in it. The products are from local artists. I guess there is also a shop in the strip. There is a list of local artists represented in the stores by going on the website.
How fun I can't wait to take some shots but this will work for now.
I also have to mention I was greeted with KINDNESS, FUN and AMAZING 💙 👀's.

“This store looks so cute!! Sadly, their hours have prevented me from being able to shop there. They open late, and close early. Just a suggestion: Maybe once a month you could offer extended hours? Market it really well, and you may make a killing . Until then, I'll keep enjoying peering into the windows & admiring what I can't buy .”
“Made an afternoon of shopping the Strip District. I work at a nearby shop so wanted to meet my neighbor merchants and see their wares so I could recommend to my customers.
At this shop, I met Mery, herself. Such a lovely, welcoming shop owner.
I ended up buying a long, warm, scarf full of cute cat faces. I luv cats and the colors would go great with my winter coat do, of course, I HAD to buy it.”
“This location is the only place I go to because the staff are so kind and welcoming. You can tell when they hand you your order, how thoughtful and passionate they are about providing edible arrangements. They seem to just add something special!”
“Really amazing selection + kind staff! This is the perfect spot to pick up a gift for a friend (or yourself). They even offered to gift wrap which was soooo nice! :-)”
