When I want to find cool local art work that is one of a kind, I love going to Thin Ice on Elmwood. First, they have an amazing selection of local talent and second, they have mastered customer service to an extent that you want to stay after you have checked out and just hang! Highly recommend visiting this store!
Total Tourist here, saying thanks for making shopping fun at your place. Great friendly vibe, cool stuff, local stuff, gifts, etc. etc. I'm sure you'll be verrrrrry busy this holiday season. If you're visiting Buffalo -- don't miss this store.
Love that the majority of everything in this shop is made locally. The workers are always welcoming and helpful; no one is ever pushy, and they always have suggestions for that difficult-to-buy-for person that we all have in our life.

JO-AN'S HALLMARK SHOPPE REVIEWS
Great store for gifts for every occasion. They have everything here from socks, mugs, shirts, frames, and of course greeting cards. They have lots of specials like Christmas ornaments even in July. They have a separate side of the store where you can get jewelry and Vera Bradley purses.
All the cute knick knacks you could ever want. They are always changing stock so every time it's different. Lots of mugs, key chains, great selection of cards, plenty to choose from for a birthday or anniversary gift. Very friendly staff. Love this place!
This store has beautiful things, it was my first time going there. I didn't buy anything, I was just looking. I will refer to my daughter's they loved it.
