Hello World

Some have mentioned the pricier gifts here, but there are a lot of things that are extremely affordable. I've gotten gifts for under $25 that look like they could have been very expensive. Also, they offer a frequent buyer card so that after 12 purchases over $25, you can get anything in the store half price...I got a very expensive necklace for not so much with this deal.

Hello World recently moved from this location I believe. This is a great little shop which the most unique handbags in the city. I love eclectic style purses and am a large collector of them. I have purchased quite a few from Hello World and have even gotten a few gifts here for friend's for their birthdays. If you are looking for a unique gift or are a lover of unmatchable handbags than please check this store out. You won't be disappointed.

There are 2 of these stores, and note that the Locust location has just moved to 20th Street between Spruce and Locust (as of 3/2006) between Maxx's produce and Twenty Manning. I always love browsing at Hello World, since you never know what you'll find. They have unique handbags (some handmade I think), sofa cushions, jewelry, and various home accents and furnishings. If you are looking for something different, then I would check out Hello World. While the items can be pricey, they are one of a kind, so really aren't that outrageous compared to other boutiques.

Hello World has 2 locations - the one here on 20th street is newer but really much of the same. Lots of cute gifts for when you just can't find the right thing! Sort of expensive at times but worth it for those one of a kind gifts. I highly recommend it to any one at all. Give Hello World a shot!
