Nice eclectic selection of artisan crafts and philadelphia themed souvenirs. A bit pricey, but some unique pieces great for gift- giving.

Great little shop that offers all things Philadelphia. However, it’s not a souvenir shop. It’s a gift shop with artsy, eclectic souvenirs. The items are quality and there’s something for everyone. The prices are a bit high. Maybe too high. The service is in need of help. The female employee who was running the shop when I went was not the kindest. 4 for quality. 2 for service.

This place has great stuff! Some very creative interpretations of classic and modern Philadelphia icons on quality merch. The downside is that the lady who runs it is really kind of rude. The uniqueness of their offerings definitely makes it worth dealing with it though. Would have been a solid 5 stars, but the interaction with the lady behind the counter was less than desirable. Again though, they have unique, high quality inventory that is worth your business. 😉

Super cute shop with a ton of Philly related gear, as well as seasonal gifts! Everything was so adorable, especially the Philly baby clothes. Shop small and local, and visit this place for sure!

Superfun store stocked with great finds all from local Philly designers. Run by women who are equally fun and fascinating. Required stop for any gifting needs.

DO NOT shop here, extremely rude and horrible customer service. I would give them no stars if I could. Pandemic or not, being rude to customers is not how to run a business.

I went into this shop to make a purchase from an item I saw in the window. First the shop owner with black hair was rude upon entry. She told me to use the sanitizer with a very nasty tone. I then asked about an item. She responded in a likewise rude tone. I bought the item to the counter and handed her cash. She told me NO cash. That sign was not posted anywhere. When I asked who she told me Philadelphia law prohibits cash during the pandemic. THIS is not true. I had just paid at two other shops in cash. I also called the offices of Old City and Philadelphia and I as told that was false information and in fact a law was passed requiring merchants to accept cash.If this RUDE & NASTY attitude owner chooses to not take cash then put up a sign and don’t lie about it. DO NOT shop here. The woman isn’t honest and that should bbe reason enough

This cute shop located in Old City is just as charming as the neighborhood it resides in. When you enter the shop you are treated to a wide variety of locally made items that make great gifts. I always enjoy knowing where something is made and supporting local crafts people. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. There are a number of great Philly-centric items as well as unique jewelry and household items. I have bought a number of gifts from them and I plan on going back again. So, if you are visiting Philly or live there and need a gift for family or friends I highly recommend visiting them.

Stopped here with my family during Old City Fest while the inlaws were in town from Hong Kong. The staff (owner?) was simply great. We bought some local artist t-shirts and noticed several other items to consider during future trips into Philly. Definitely on our list of places to stop by when in town.

I really like this little shop. It has a lot of cute items from local artists and I feel good supporting them with my purchases. Plus, everything is very unique! I got the cutest fox art print to hang in my home from Sarah Draws Things

Great spot to get some higher quality, hand made philly gear. Made by locals with quality craftsmanship. Grabbed a t shirt here, fits perfectly, and got compliments on it the first day I wore it. Will definitely be back.

Not your typical souvenir shop. This store sells items made/handmade in Philadelphia. A little pricey but youll get something unique. If you are looking for touristy souvenir stuff this place is not for you.

Awesome selection of local, handmade goods. Every holiday and birthday, I hit up this shop for the most unique gifts. Check out the beautiful cutting boards they always seem to have by Steve Reid. I use them for host/ess gifts and they are a huge hit. T-shirt selection is perfect, something for everyone!

A small gem of a shop that sells local made art, household gifts and local screen printed shirts & tote bags. The prices are fair for the artisanal crafted pieces offered, and they will have that perfect philly gift for those who are hard to shop gifts for.

Spent over $100 in here a week ago, have visited many times and purchased items almost every time. Today I took a friend to buy an item that she liked that I was wearing (so I took them a customer) and I saw a sheet of stickers that I wanted, an $8 item. I stood in front of the register and said I am not stealing this I just want to make sure it fits in my bag before I purchase it otherwise I will come back this week as I live in the neighborhood it did not fit nor did I push it to see if it would, when I said it doesnt fit the women at the register (who was there when I was there this past sunday) said well when you come back dont bend it, I responded with I didnt and she shot back with ya, okay. This was so unbelievly rude, I did no damage to the item, if she had any sense or ability to retain customers she should have said let me get your name we can hold the item for you until Monday in which I would have came back and got it. I will NEVER be back nor will I tell anyone where I purchased my items - I will send them straight to the person who made it.

Cute, unique little knick knacks and gifts. Not the friendliest staff the day we visited, but maybe she was new. She seemed unconfident and uncertain.
