MICA 12/V REVIEWS
THIS is why I support small business: I placed an online order to send a gift for my aunt's birthday except there was no estimate of when the item would be in stock again. When I called, the message got passed to the owner, Carolyn. She totally came to the rescue and somehow got the item back in stock and shipped it in record time to arrive on time. Thank you so much!
I love this shop on the corner of Vine Street in OTR. They have some really unique and nice quality gifts here. The people working behind the counter are always friendly and welcoming. It’s a fun shop to look around or to find a great gift.
This is a store that feels like family. Was well worth the trip .Gifts to be treasured for years to come .Reminds me of a boutique you would see in Chicago or Ann Arbor .

TEN THOUSAND VILLAGES REVIEWS
This store is amazing! I am a long time customer of Ten Thousand Villages. Everyone I know gets Fair Trade gifts from me. I was amazed at the selection at this store. Every time I go, I leave with more than what I came in for (Recently I needed two items... I left with a full bag. Loved the coffee!). I have always received excellent service. The associates are very knowledgeable. The last time I went was with my son's fiance. She liked that the associate recognized the necklace she was wearing was Tuareg (a cross necklace I gave her, but not from "Villages"). She liked so much of the jewelry that I know a Ten Thousand Villages gift card will be in her Christmas stocking (and we will make a trip to shop together). That day, she stocked up on the wonderful soaps. Be sure to get on the email list for this store... They offer some really great events - and special sales.
The coffee is fabulous. Every single one of the Women's Bean Projects soup kits I've tried (the Five Bean and the Mild Chili come to mind but I think I've tried them all) have been excellent. The chocolate bars are not only tasty but one of my favorite gifts. And don't even get me started on the earrings (lol). The clothing is fun and unique. Love this place!
Quinn at this store was very nice and helpful! He was willing to wait a few minutes after closing so that I could get there and replace a pair of earrings that had been lost ! Thank you so much!

ANN'S HALLMARK SHOP REVIEWS
Store personnel are always helpful. The store is immaculately maintained. Merchandise arranged in a pleasing manner. The only drawback is that gift boxes are no longer offered. This is my go to store when I need a special gift or card.
Super nice ladies helped me beyond the others. Everything was in order for helping me give that special touch only found at a REAL HALLMARK store. X's and O' and big ol'e hugs.
Great selection of Christmas gifts. Friendly and helpful customer service
