Katie in Union Square

I love going to Farfetched! It’s a small shop with a card section in the front. As you go towards the back of the store you will find a unique selection of kitchen utensils and accessories, candles, books, coasters and picture frames. I have bought multiple gifts here for friends and family. The last item I bought was a small birdbath candle holder for my mom – she loved it! The employee working at the time helped find the perfect box for the holder and gave me wrapping paper and ribbon for it at no extra cost. Overall, a great little shop! Some of the prices can be a bit expensive, though.

My friend used to live near the Metropolitan Art Gallery and I enjoy going in and browsing! I have bought a few sets of note cards there over the years and those prices were reasonable. My roommate got her diploma framed there and it looks very professional! They also have an online coupon for 20% off of framing which I believe my friend used on her purchase.

I came to University Floral Design with a friend last year to buy flowers to congratulate my friend on her new baby. The staff was very helpful and helped us pick out the right (beautiful!) flowers for the occasion. I do not think this store sells artificial flowers, but I could be wrong – give them a call to find out!

I have had copies of keys made at East Hardware at least three times and each time I have received fast, friendly service. Along with this, the keys were copied without flaws. Go here if you need keys made quickly!

Surprise, Surprise offers a wide selection of storage containers, picture frames, light fixtures, baskets, as well as bathroom, office and kitchen supplies. The prices are reasonable and the staff is helpful – I like it here because somehow you can always find what you need to help get yourself organized!
