This shop has such a wonderfully curated selection of goods. From staplers to planters to platters and mugs. They have delfonics notebooks(!!). The jewelry selection is modern and cool – whatever Kim(one of the owners) is wearing is inevitably the next cool thing. They have a ton of local wares as well – escape bags, Chemex coffee stuff, Myrth ceramics, really great stuff. Kim and Ryan have a great eye. Also. Their dog Huckleberry.

Really wanted to love this place. Local, cool pen selection. But I bought an orchid coloured le pen from here and 1 day after I bought it I realized it was dried out and wouldn’t write.

This is such a lovely store to peruse. It feels like being in a modern art gallery where you’re allowed to touch(and buy) the art. Everything here feels so purposeful. Yes, these may be luxury items by and large, but they’re luxury items you can actually use – like gold pencil sharpeners and tiger tails. The shop owners are designers by trade, and it shows in every part of this gorgeous Union Square bodega. We’ve found a few items here that we simply cannot live without, and it’s great to have someplace nearby that we can count on for thoughtful birthday cards and gifts. TL, DR: this is a wonderful grown-up toy store. Enjoy!

I’ve been eyeing this store for a while on their instagram and finally got myself to stop by the first time in search for a birthday gift and my second was on their online site. Very friendly customer service and the quality of the products are amazing. A bit pricy but you can tell the items are either hand made or made from small businesses. Will shop again soon!

A very cool store with wicked cool items, most of which you will not see anywhere else and some that will bring you back to childhood. Dig this store. Nicely designed and merchandised. I have purchased several items since they opened and always find new things when I stop in.

Fairly new store in the Union Square area. They carry stationary gifts, interior design products, jewelry etc. I think they also have a working letterpress machine which they use to do custom prints with. The store is beautifully designed and the products they carry are really nice(they carry Muji pens!!!). Great place to stop and pick up a unique gift. Looking forward to seeing what else they will start carrying in the future.
