Something Different Gallery

This is a great place that supports local artists and has great variety. It is easy to find a unique gift for that hard to get person. The owners are wonderful and will also find items you may be looking for. Give this place a try and keep in mind that their stock is always changing!!!

This store offers a wide variety of great and unique items. The workers here are fantastic and helpful. Going to this store is a great experience.

I got a lot of my Christmas shopping out of the way in a very short amount of time here. PLUS free gift wrapping! They had some really great deals and something special for everyone. Lastly, the staff was AMAZING!!! Some of the best customer service I have every experienced. It’s worth a stop.

Oh my gosh. I stumbled in here one day in a desperate stupor to find a gift for my mom. It was clearly fate, written in the stars, that I found this shop that I’ve walked past so many times before.
First, I have to speak to the product offering. It is so cool… candles, soaps, novelties, gifts, apparel, scarves, jewelry, cards, glassware, artwork, and oodles more. I disagree with Amy. I am a 20-​something, I could have stayed in here all day, not only shopping for myself, but shopping for anyone and everyone! Ultimately, I left with a birthday gift for my mom, a Christmas gift for my sister (yep…I bought a Christmas gift in August), and a vase for moi. I wanted to get so much more but my wallet was bleeding out. The prices aren’t cheap, but I haven’t seen some of this stuff anywhere else.
Next, I have to talk about the staff, which for me makes or breaks my opinion of a business. They were so, so lovely, especially the owner. I felt like I was visiting some sleepy town where everyone knows your name and treats you like family. She treated me like a friend and painstakingly gift wrapped some of my gifts and bubble-​packed others for the plane ride they would have to endure that day. It was a slow process, but I appreciated their kindness and I’ll be back with bells on.

My absolute favorite shop in all of Cleveland! Most amazing staff. Most amazing items.
Go at Christmas, it is becoming my tradition, they hang ornaments from the ceiling starting black Friday. You go in pick out your ornament and they cut it down for you and box it up in pretty wrapping.
True Gem.
As a note, the prices are pretty high– and certainly out of my price range but 2 christmases ago I picked out several handmade BEAUTIFUL ornaments. The owner was there as I admired three and finally decided I could only justify spending that much money on two ornaments and would have to leave the last one for someone else. He noticed this and cut the 3^rd down and gave it to me for free.
I can’t always afford all the items I want but there are not many stores that truly appreciate your patronage this way anymore. If I am going to spend money id prefer to spend it supporting a local treasure like this one.

I LOVE Something Different. It is one of the first places I visited moving to the W. 25^th area 5 years ago and I have been coming back ever since.
George and Koula are the kindest people you will ever meet. They are genuine, caring and offer a wide variety of amazing goods — many by local artists.
Every time I come in they greet me by name and treat me so wonderfully. If you are looking for fun, unique gifts or just wanting to meet fantastic proprietors, this is your place!

This studio never ceases to blow my mind.
Now, I know what you’re going to say…“Jennifer, did you ever really have a mind to begin with?“
Yes. Yes I did. And it was blown away by Something Different.
It looks, from the exterior like the usual kitschy sort of place that your mother might take you, but it is far more than that. The art is local and gorgeous, the glass work will make your jaw drop, and the little odd and ends for home décor will make you squeal and jump up and down where you stand, clap your hands, and grin like a fool.
On the downside, the prices will make you pinch your pennies for weeks until you can afford what you want (or you may, like me, just come and visit your favorite paintings until someone buys them and you feel like someone kidnapped your best friend).
The owner is really what seals the deal on this place. She has a memory like an elephant, is the most gracious woman I’ve quite possibly ever met, and treats my sister and I like we just pulled up outside in a chauffeured Rolls-​Royce and body guards.
I’ve bought lots of little home décor items here, mostly as presents (and all on the lower end of the price scale), but if I ever win the lottery, this is the place that will decorate my home.

I used to work with a designing-​women type middle-​aged man. You know, he was artistic, but classy with an eye for the traditional. I alwasy imagined his bedroom looked like a soap opera set… rich paisleys with matchy-​matchy curtains. He was frugal but didn’t mind spending more for something of quality. He would love Something Different. It really isn’t my sort of store. It doesn’t scream «twenty-​something.» Most gift boutiques do not.
