My family and I visited Wildcard Gifts recently during our first visit to NYC and enjoyed a very pleasant experience. The prices were competitive and reasonable with lots of NYC flavor to choose from. The owner was very engaging and cordial and even suggested local cuisine to consider. Unfortunately, we had already eaten, so we’ll have to try the local eats another time. Again, the owner was quite cultured, hospitable, welcoming and engaging which made for a very pleasant visit NYC visit. We will definitely visit this store again!

Awesome eclectic gifts and home goods. Placed an online order - havent made it into the store yet - and had a small issue. Excellent customer service and sent a nice thank you card for the mistake. Great place, cant wait to visit in person.

My go to spot for cards and gifts. Excellent selection of cards from small presses - no corny Hallmark garbage here. Lots of other small gift items - many Pittsburgh themed, many not - that are also well-curated.

I absolutely LOVE Wildcard. Its my go to place for gifts. They have so many Pittsburgh based artists and other independent products as well as some bigger producers like Rifle Paper. They will also do complimentary gift wrapping which is so fun. Follow them on social media for new products and cards of the day. Pre-COVID they would hand write a letter in response to every one they received and enter your name in a drawing for prizes to celebrate national letter writing month in April. Fingera crossed that they start that up again in 2022! I seriously cant say enough good things about this store!

Absolutely worth a stop. Unique collection of small gifts, cards, note cards, pins, small accessories and more. Would highly recommend if you are looking for something unique with a heavily satirical comment or edgy vide. Clean and organized store with friendly staff.

This place is the coolest gift shop in Pittsburgh. I promise.Ive been going here for years and years, always ogling and inspired by all the cute things inside. They always have a bunch of new things and their cards and gifts are some of the most unique. Nothing you can find in a big box store.They support artists and makers, especially local ones. This is so huge.Recently I started up my own handmade/art business and have begun to sell my things there. I have the experience of working with Wildcard and being an avid shopper. They are an all-around good spot. Would highly recommend as a shopper and an artist. (:

Love it here! I get all my cards here. If youre going to spend $4+ for a card at a big box store anyways, may as well come here instead and get a clever one thats from a small printing press instead, and support a small business.

Wildcard is a great little stationary store in the heart of Lawrenceville. It has everything youd expect: cards, wrapping paper, prints, candles, pins, etc. There is even a small collection of Pittsburgh-themed t-shirts way in the back, if youre looking for something a little more unique than the standard souvenir, or shirt from the Strip.

Best place to buy really fun high quality gifts to bring home from Pittsburgh, for your loved ones or yourself! Found not one, but three different pierogi tea towels, so tempting, I bought two! More than just Pittsburgh paraphernalia; excellent card selection, (of course from their name), quirky, yet fun book selection, and many more categories. Im sure locals must love this place too! Staff was very friendly; free gift wrap available on request.

Excellent selection of cards, gift wrap, stationary, printed paper, and gifts. I dont bother going anywhere else to pick out cards for birthdays or the holidays anymore because I always find the perfect one here! The staff is very helpful and friendly! Theres a parking lot right across the street so its very easy to stop by any time I need a card or a special gift. A must visit, especially for out of towners looking to bring back good souvenirs! There are lots of locally made Pittsburgh themed gifts (that people will actually want) and locally made artisan jewelry (that people will actually want).

We love this shop quite a lot. Its become our one stop shop for gifts and cards for anyone. So many unique things indie designed and local. Plus such a nifty location, kinda like if Portland and Brooklyn had a tiny baby. Thats sort of what this area of Lawrenceville is like. So.... yeah! Go and consume you consumer you.

A great place to get a quick gift for someone, especially love their complimentary gift wrapping service. It’s nice to be able to get unique things that you would usually get on something like Etsy, handmade or locally made goods, but without paying shipping and it being in such an easy location if you live in the neighborhood.

This is a great little card shop. Its packed with goods from local makers as well as all you could ever want of Pittsburgh souvenirs and novelties. The card selection is perfect. Not overwhelming but hardly sparse. This is a good all around gift and card shop for quirky Pittsburghy gifters.

I live in Lawrenceville and have shopped a few of the local small businesses. Most of the merchants have been very nice and welcoming. However that wasn’t the case when my daughter and I stopped in to Wildcard after enjoying a great meal at one of the nearby restaurants. This was my 1st visit to the store and loved everything about it except the lack of a “hello” from the staff.What keeps customers returning to any store, restaurant, business, is good customer service. Unfortunately we didn’t experience that during our visit.I’ll return to make a purchase, but should I experience the lack of customer service, I won’t return😲.With the hate messages being spread throughout the neighborhood, I would think, the merchants would be more enthusiastic about making their customers feel welcome.

Yesterday I was in here with a young girl who got a stomach upset and they were kind enough to let her use their restroom. She accidentally clogged their toilet and they didnt even complain. Normally I would have stayed to help clean but at that moment my main concern was getting her home as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding in a difficult situation! Im sorry for all the trouble! Your products did look cute and Ill be sure to come back and buy something!

Review №95

Quite frankly, everytime ive been in, the people are rude. And everything is overpriced for pittsburgh, pricing is more like shopping in beverly hills. The items are not really unique, i can get everything from the other paper shops downtown. And also shop seems to have a theme of naked ladies and hating diverse opinions or world views.2020 dec Visited again with a friend. Just a negative atmosphere, high prices and frowns.
