Exit9 Gift Emporium

I’ve been coming here for years, finally getting around to reviewing. I get all my cards here for every occasion - this spot always come through where drug stores, papyrus, etc fall short. The cards are always original, funny and feature nice designs. There is also a wide assortment of gifts and other chachkies, the baby gifts are particularly good. I feel like it’s a neighborhood staple standing in the face of chain stores.

What an absolutely fantastic place. Filled with lots of goodies. Cards, candles, gift's you name it, they probably have it.
It was a real treat to stop in here and find quality merchandise that it's well thought out and presented.
It's a nice little jewel on the lower east side.
Check it out..

A bit pricy but you can find a lot of fun, unique gifts here for people of all ages. I got my friend a cool bartending book with “healing” drinks plus a small deviled egg plushie.

The service was 10/10. Everyone behind the counter was helpful and wholesome.

GREAT selection and really kind staff. We came to find a NYC themed gift for a friend, and ended up getting that plus a bunch of adorable baby/toddler gifts and also some earrings for my wife 😁

Loved this cute little gift shop. I was looking to buy souvenirs of New York to bring back home and this place had everything I was looking for. It is a cute little shop with lots of different things you can get; it has something for everyone. I enjoyed how they had scratch books of NYC, which I ended up getting, and stickers of NYC as well. It is safe to say that the souvenirs I got from this shop was loved by those who had received the gift. Also, the staff there was super helpful in giving me suggestions as well. Definitely a go to place to buy souvenirs when you're in NYC.

Very, very good gift shop. High quality, unusual and interesting gifts, including tshirts, candles, cards, socks, toys, games jewelry and much more. Whoever the buyer/owner us does a tremendous job. And super friendly staff, too. A Must visit if you are in the area.

This has been a mainstay of the East Violage for years, and is one of the things that is often imitated and never duplicated. Great buyer / owner here, so approachable, something reasonable always, and likely to be unique. They rotate many items for a store this size (a lot of work) but make sure going again and again is a fresh experience. Can we talk about the window display? I don’t know any small store that puts in this much work and design into 20 ft of storefront.

Great little selection of souvenirs both charmingly kitchy and tasteful, according to your tastes :)

it was a nice little shop and had gifts for 90% of the people I needed gifts for, ranging from artists to writers to old and young relatives. It was pretty crowded, for such a small store, but it was 2 days before Christmas and the large amount of people didn't make it any less easy to find gifts, and the staff was helpful showing me where certain items were, and they even held my things behind the counter so I wouldn't have to carry them around the store while I was still shopping

This store is such a gem! They've curated a fun collection of gifts to choose from at a good price point. The staff is so cool and helpful. Recommended if you need to buy a gift but don't have an idea yet!

I love all the gay stuff. I bought 11 rainbow fans as party decorations, and that party f*cking slapped

Ahhh I love this place! The cutest goodies and great prices compared to others. Will be here for every gift possible

Purchased a very high quality and beautiful bag featuring the East Village!

A lovely little place with usual gifts and some surprising things. Books, jewelry, candles etc. Wonderful Fraser fir candle.

Along with the Tenement Museum, here I found the best gift shop for NYC. Nice designs and not the generic (repeated from the 80's) souvenirs.

This is the one place where i can find my headphones #Urbanaears Plattan ...
And all the gifts are cute,fancy and lovely.
Very recommend !!

amazing spot! helpful staff. fun place to shop for some last minute gifts!!!

Cute gift shop with unique products and quite a large selection! A bit pricy though.

Gorgeous selection of fun gift ideas, I always find something that will suit whomever I am gifting

You always find great gifts here, and the staff is warm and friendly.
