Amy’s Hallmark Shop

It’s all about the gold seal, isn’t it? Who doesn’t love a Hallmark card? Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? It is perhaps the quintessential Hallmark holiday, ya know?
This location is convenient for me to shop on my lunch breaks at work. Hallmark stores fell off my radar a few years ago, but I’ve rediscovered them because of this store’s proximity. I’ve been here a few times just in the past few weeks mainly because it’s quicker than going into the store with the bullseye right behind it when I just want to get a greeting card or two. In addition to cards, Hallmark still offers a large selection of photo albums, picture frames, and gifts. Did you know that Sarah Jessica Parker has her own line of cards? So do Life Is Good and Duck Dynasty. OK, maybe you didn’t need to know about that last one, but now you do. I like the fact that Hallmark has cards for everyone: husbands, wives, kids, boyfriends, girlfriends, cousins, aunts, uncles, in-​laws, same-​sex wedding cards, cards in Spanish, and African-​American cards since, really, we’re not all the same color, now are we? I haven’t seen an Asian line of cards yet, though; I’m still waiting to see cards with people that look kind of like me. In this digital age, I still love giving and receiving a hand-​written card or letter and Hallmark remains a go-​to for items that assist in the endeavor. And, yes, I’ve already gotten my Valentines their cards; nothing says «I love you,» like a nice card and carbs, ya know?

Kansas Citians support KC businesses even in Vegas. So with that being said when Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day rolls around I dutifully head to my local Hallmark store where more often than not I find a card that makes someone go Oooh! or Ahhh!
This particular store is not as well known as the Hallmark store at Green Valley Ranch in the District, and it’s much easier to get to than the one at Eastern and I-​215. This is not a franchise, it’s a corporate owned store and the staff has always been friendly. In short if you need a card and don’t want to fight traffic to get it this should be your destination.
