1. Richard’s Variety Store
2347 Peachtree Road NE

Atlanta, GA 30305

(404) 237-1412

See this week’s Hot Spots review.

2. Junkman’s Daughter

464 Moreland Ave. NE

Atlanta, GA 30307

(404) 577-3188

Like a giant Spencer’s, full of the bizarre and unexpected. Their elaborate costumes are a bit pricey, so veer towards the section of hilarious, kitschy gifts.

3. Young Bloods

636 N Highland Ave.

Atlanta, GA 30306

(404) 254-4127

This hip gallery/gift shop features loads of cool and quirky handmade goods from local artists, including some SCAD students.

4. Swoozie’s

1745 Peachtree St. NE

Suite T

Atlanta, GA 30309

(404) 888-0115

This paper Mecca is mostly known for its fun greeting cards and unique stationary, so head here for your snail-mail ammo. But Swoozie’s has a great selection of witty gifts as well.

5. Ten Thousand Villages

1056 Saint Charles Ave. NE

Atlanta, GA 30306

(404) 892-5307

Shopping is fun, but shopping for a good cause is even better. Ten Thousand Villages is an artisan market with fair-trade goods from around the world, supporting local artists in third-world countries.
