Editorial Review for Ampersand – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Find boxed fill-in invitations for every event under the sun: birthdays, weddings, showers, anniversaries, barbecues, cocktails. You also can order offbeat personalized announcements, invitations and stationery. Even with all the greeting cards and blank books, paper products take up less than half of the cavernous store. The rest is filled with pricey housewares like Italian pottery and candles, plus scented bath products from New York-based apothecary Kiehl's.

The store has your typical, pricey, home accessories. However, I would not recommend visiting this store and I have no intentions on returning due to the rude customer service. While shopping, I was followed around the store by a snoopy, elderly sales clerk. At one point, I turned around and she was making "move along" motions with her hands! I'm not used to being treated this way and, needless to say, I was completely shocked and offended!
Cons: rude sales clerks

I was in the store for almost 15 minutes before sales clerks even acknowledged that I was there, and even then I wasn't greeted. I was only greeted once I picked up an item to see the price... obviously they only bother to "help" you if they see you're interested in something. Even a "hello" would have been nice... The cards they have are cute, but I didn't like how the barcode was inside on many of them, instead of on the back. They do have many cute things in the store, especially plates, ceramics, and porcelain - but they're *very* overpriced. The one thing that happened to catch my eye was a 3" diameter plastic (melamine likely) plate with a rabbit stamped on it, and I was pretty surprised to see it was $75. If you want unique stationery or pieces for your table, this is the place to go, but expect poor service and to pay a fortune for it!
Pros: Unique items
Cons: Staff completely ignores you, very overpriced
