My name is Patti. I went into this store today. I had just bought a coffee and didn’t realize until I got to the door that I couldn’t bring it in as there was a sign on the door. I thought I would ask if I could just leave it behind the counter. I had one foot in the door and the employee was waiting for me! «You can’t bring bring that in.» I opened my mouth but before I could say anything she started shaking her head no and repeating«no! absolutely not.» She kept repeating it until I closed my mouth, even though nothing had been said by me and I definitely had not moved. I was really taken aback. I was terribly embarrassed at the way she spoke. I just turned and quietly left. I will not return. I do take responsibility for entering the store, one step, with my latte when there was a sign on the door. I shouldn’t have. I also shouldn’t have been spoken to like that or humiliated.

In addtion to the standard Hallmark items, this store has lots(and lots) of local stuff, glassware, dish towels, decorative items, Saints, Pelicans, LSU, fleur di lis, you name it. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. The store is spacious and full but not overwhelming. They have an anti-room with out of season gift items(in December this was Halloween & Carnival) in case you need it, plus lots of pet related gift items. Love all their seasonal door hangers, in fact I received a giant king cake for my front door as a Christmas present.

Tucked away right next to Langestein’s on Metairie Rd, this Hallmark store is filled with some nice gift options, especially ones with local flavor, e.g. fleur de lis items. During Christmas it’s also a great place to get the Keepsake ornaments. This Christmas to celebrate our new home and first Christmas with a tree in probably a decade my girlfriend and I picked up some stuff to decorate. While there we also found great gifts for the family gift exchange. The only downside is the way this small mall sits on Metairie Rd. There is a stop light right on one side of it but it’s not lined up well and creates a bit of traffic that makes it hard to see cars coming from both directions when you pull out onto Metairie Rd. Keep that in mind when planning your errands.

This is a great card/gift/holiday store on Metairie Road, not too far from Mid-City. They always have a very nice selection of what-nots, perfect for the most hard-to-buy-for person on your gift list. They have a huge selection of not-sports-related Saints and fleur de lis objects, like party platters, fancy glasses, dish towels, etc. They have great gifts for kids and grown-ups alike, plus a huge selection of cards and frames.

My fav Hallmark store to go to. It is big and always has a great selection of New Orleans items for gifts, they are very helpful with suggestions and their gift wrapping service is reasonable and top notch. I have brought things there just to be wrapped for special occasion gifts for friends. They have those great hand painted New Orleans façade plaques for your walls. I wish the artist did more of the magnets though, they are a bit smaller and priced reasonably.
