2007-02-06 17:52:37   Never heard this "urban legend"...could be damaging to even mention that...even though neither of us believe it. —PeteB

2007-08-09 13:35:54   They are also the only place in this state where I've found balisongs (butterfly knives), though the prices certainly take advantage of this. Good place to look around in, though. —IdSaysgo


2007-11-07 14:39:37   Love this store, but cannot ever afford anything because the prices anally rape you! I think i bought a keychain there once.....it was all we could afford! —MissGia

Store prices are the same as the website prices. This is not your cookie-cutter gift shop. Here you find unusual and unique items and gifts. —NormaScott
