I like this store a lot because they have many useful supplies for all sorts of costume and celebration purposes as well as some random funny and jolly stuff. The employees are mostly pretty nice as well. I would recommend this store to anyone who is in search of a party store 🎈

Local Guide

This place was the biggest hidden gem I've found in a LONG time. Sooooooo many things. My fiance (a middle school teacher) found countless things for her students; from little prizes and toys to art supplies and fun activities. I found the cutest softest stuffed animal for my sick mother. So many cool costumes and party supplies. Possibilities were endless.
Highly recommend 👌

Helpful, friendly, professional, excellent service. I called yesterday to inquire about a costume. She was helpful answering my questions and checking their stock. I bought the costume today. Great selection of products.
