“Im pretty sure I have never written a review for a physical store unprompted after an online purchase (only reviewed items on the likes of Amazon, etc)... But I was so inspired by this purchase that I had to look them up and write this.
First of all, I've spent years looking for fall themed drinking glass that doesn't break the bank. And I finally found the perfect pumpkin shaped glass.
I ordered 14 of them and wondered how well they might survive the transit through the postal service during peak.
They came so well packaged that they arrived beautifully. It's clear from the care of the packaging and a long hand written note that whoever packed them (Jenn) really cared about the product, my user experience and the planet - the note detailed the stainability and reuse of materials, which I appreciated so much.
I live about 2 hours away and this makes me want to drive down to Fircrest to visit the store.
Highly recommended. ❤️”
“We went because they were adjusting their marketing strategy and were getting rid of a lot of their clothing stock... I'm not certain why they had any issues selling what they had because the space is welcoming and tastefully decorated...it smells great in there and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We bought everything we could carry and went away feeling like we had just robbed a bank. Wonderful experience!”
“Bought a purse from them online. Always a little skeptical at buying something from a “random” place online, but they had very responsive customer service. The purse arrived fast and in perfect condition. If you’re thinking about buying something online from them, I’d say go for it.”
“I send greetings from Poland to a nice worker of your store with Polish roots ? I visited the store in July and had a great conversation with him just before leaving US from Tacoma ☺️ I miss Seattle, I miss Washington state.”

“ATTENTION: OWNERS OF MANIC MERMAID, READ THIS! As small business owners ourselves, my wife and I have a specialized perspective on your small business.
Firstly, with so many crystal shops these days outrageously pricing their crystals, you offer your products at a good, fair, and most reasonable price.
Your customers notice this and you are appreciated!
Secondly, the 2 of your employees that we have met, Janelle and Charles are truly outstanding representatives of your business. They go above and beyond to help a customer. You will find that you can't train your employees to have that quality. They either have it or they don't. Janelle and Charles have it! My business contracts with the United States military and I have hired people for 27 years with fancy college degrees only to find out they don't even know how to talk to people. Janelle and Charles know how to talk to people. Realize that because of this, their professionalism, their knowledge of product, and their personality, Janelle and Charles make your business money! As long as you have Janelle and Charles, or employees exactly like them, we will be loyal and repeat customers!
Thirdly, there was an issue that could not have been foreseen by us or you. Your business took care of us. You took care of us more than I would have asked. And you took care of us without me even asking. How rare us that? When I was growing up, it was instilled in me that the true measure of a business is in its customer service. Your business has integrity in your business practices. That kind of integrity is almost extinct in American busines now. Your customers notice this and you are appreciated.
Lastly, I call on everyone out there. We need to support MANIC MERMAID. If we don't, we may be left with businesses that obscenely overprice crystals, have no customer service, and no integrity in their business practices. LET'S ALL SUPPORT MANIC MERMAID!
Most Sincerely,
Grant & Cindy
Killeen, TX”
“The Staff at Frontline Specialties are second to none and always go above and beyond to assist their customers. I recently placed an order for 20 embroidered hats and two glasses with my Company LOGO that I needed quickly. They came through and it was and still is very much appreciated. I understand that the employee who did the work on the hats even worked after hours to get them completed. The hats and glasses were big hits at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California I am thankful from the bottom of my heart for Frontline Specialties coming through. I just ordered more hats and will order a Retirement Whiskey shadow box for an employee who is retiring in December. You have and will always have our business. For a small business, you are dependable, your Candor, Commitment and Competence goes without saying. From my foxhole--I suggest if you need any embroidery work or other products done, go there first. You will not be disappointed!!!! They are very busy, so lesson learned for me, do not wait until the last minute to order products. Give these total professionals the courtesy and order early. Thank You once again ladies!! You're AWESOME!!!!!!!!”
“Although many of the decals on my custom shirt became detached during the first laundering (which I would normally rate a 1 star), I'm rating this company 5 stars for outstanding customer service in timely providing a new replacement shirt at their expense, including shipping, with no questions asked, and with absolutely no hassles.”
“I love this place it's great the owner is super nice and helpful they have a godd selection of fish they were all healthy the prices are a little high but Ive gotten 3 fish from here and all were in good shape and it's just a lovely place I would recommend”
“Great little spot in the Freighthouse Square. Really enjoyed the selection and vibe, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Good spot for some last minute gift shopping”
“Love it here! We’ve picked up various toys for the kids, as well as a few things for ourselves, over the last couple years. For my son’s birthday, we asked family members to grab some of the sand toys and trucks sold here, because he loves to play indoors and out with them. I got him a beach set and he was absolutely delighted. The owner is wonderful, and I’d love to see her get more reviews and attention!”

“The absolute best store! The staff, the products, the location…everything is perfect! This is my favorite place to shop for my daughter and for gifts. They are always getting new merchandise! I was just in here again today and blown away by the adorable new baby clothes for fall. I am going to be very sad when my daughter outgrows Quincy Mae! Thanks Paper Luxe and Baby Luxe for being my go to shop! My husband even loves stopping in and looking around!”
“I love this shop! It smells amazing and gives me inspiration with their beautiful displays for all seasons and holidays. I can always find unique, high quality, florals, art, home decor for myself or a special gift for anyone. A must-visit for anyone who is in the area or traveling through, as I do on our way north, to Seattle.”
“I appreciate I can pick up various Fiestaware items for entertaining. They display their items in a manner that you can find what you’re looking for without being overwhelmed. Bright and colorful makes me happy to look at the displays. If there is t an item you’re looking for they’re helpful in where to find different colors and items. Friendly service. No expensive shipping fees.”
“Super nice staff at this See's Candies store. I think thats what the See's Candies store pride themselves by, quality chocolate with quality service. They opened at this University Place not too long ago (I think within last year or so) and its so convenient for me to come here to get my chocolate fix without having to goto the mall.
They always offer free chocolate sample so I love that they do this and I'm immediately hooked to buy something before I leave haha.
Their giftbox selections are perfect for me because they come in all different sizes from 6 piece truffle box all the way upto like a fancy 4 tier opening box. I love picking up a small gift box for myself sometimes!
My favorite here is the truffles and their molasses toffees. They currently have pie truffle series for limited time, so I picked up a small Apple Pie truffle box and its so yummy.
Store is tidy and all the items and prices are displayed clearly, love this See's Candies store in University Place village!”
“I absolutely love this shop!! We found some really cute things and I can’t wait to go back and get a few things I am still thinking about. Her signs up around made us laugh pretty hard. Lol— the one that ‘I am one drink away’ and the hand towels and cards are so funny!
This is definitely my favorite shop in Gig Harbor!”
“The couple that run this place are very nice. I have bought stuff from them for years. I had friends that thanked me for recommending this place to them. They have a great shop and they will make what you need or order it for you. Nice hand made items to order. Come check them out.”
“This shop is a lovely community space that feels right at home on 38th! The owner is talented and passionate about what she does and that comes through in the thoughtful curation of the store. I especially loved the jewelry selection - high quality, cute, and so well priced!”
“Absolutely delightful shop in a magical garden! Incredibly curated, with handmade products from creators who clearly love and honor their craft. The shopkeeper offered a wealth of knowledge about the products, as well as local businesses and unique experiences in Gig Harbor, as we’ve just moved to the area. A beautiful experience!”
“Went there to buy some chocolate covered strawberries. Excellent service. Products like that are made at the moment so come in with some 10 min to spend. Highly recommended!”

“The Labubus here are real!! the girl at the counter was nice enough to show me how to authenticate it and did it before I even paid ! It’s expensive, but I get they are reselling. it’s popmarts fault for making them so hard to get ?”
“Cute shop with good prices and really adorable items. Every time I go the employees are super kind and helpful. Don’t waste your time at other stores in the mall like FYE (which is wayy overpriced and has rude staff) instead go to Fuego and you will have a much better experience!”
“Just got this amazing frame and put my black quartz in it! This shop has so many cool things and it's locally produced, upcycled art! I will definitely be back and I'm bringing my friends too!”
