The Little Apple

What an awesome gift store in the heart of Manayunk! I come here to buy all my candles for my home. They have the volcano candle that is the most aromatic candle I have ever purchased. They have really cute gifts for babies and for friends. Their jewelry selection is very artsy and reasonably priced. The staff and owner are always sweet and helpful. If they don’t have stock in the store or something you want to buy, they will order it for you. This is a great store to buy things for your home (candles, mugs, glassware, etc) as well as gifts for friends (scarves, silly socks, wedding gifts, etc).

It’s simple. This place just exudes charm.
Upon opening the doors to this pretty little shop, you’ll probably think the following things:
1) «Damn, this place smells good.»
2) «This is so cute!» «This is so true!» «Omg, this is perfect!»
3) «UGH, WHY DOESN’T ANYONE EVER BUY ME THIS?»
Super friendly owner with a super friendly mom. I was in there one day with my baby, and her mom was there helping out for the day. During my visit to finish up my Christmas shopping, her mom helped me out a ton by entertaining him and even offering to hold him so that I could focus on what I was buying. Such a cute family!
Brandy has impeccable taste (and style!), and it is most certainly displayed with her store’s offering. It’s clear that she is very selective with what she chooses to sell — and that makes all the difference.
Check this place out — I guarantee you won’t leave it empty-​handed!

Birthday? Wedding? Engagement? House warming? Baby shower? Apology? This store has a gift for all of your gift giving needs. Absolutely the best gift shop I’ve ever been to — unique, fun, local items. PLUS Betty the chihuahua is usually there to brighten your day.

Such a cute little shop in Manayunk! Their stuff is pretty cool… I got my friend a «so you’re getting married» book and it was a hoot. They have a bunch of different stuff from hilarious cards to sophisticated gag gifts, jewelry and candles. Love this place! (And the owner’s dog!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I went down to Main Street with a mission to find smaller Xmas gifts to go along with the bigger ones I got for family. I can’t believe I have never been in this store before but I absolutely fell in love the second I stepped foot in there. They had so many things that were exactly what I was looking for and I didn’t even know what I was looking for! lol! They have wonderful items — gifts for friends and family, gifts for yourself, housewares, locally sourced products, basically perfect for just about anything and everything! I loved this place so much that after I bought a bunch of stuff, I strolled around Manayunk looking for more in other stores… and ended up BACK at The Little Apple realizing that everything I needed was in that store. They were very happy to see me again in about an hour timespan, haha.
The cashier was super duper friendly and I also stopped to say hi to Betty the dog who was snuggled in her bed and SO ADORABLE!
I love being able to support small businesses like this! Yes it was on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it. I think I’ll be stopping back in here soon to buy some things for myself!

Came in here for the first time last week and it’s so cute, can’t believe I never noticed it before on Main Street! A great place to shop for a unique gift or when decorating your house. Prices are a little steep but that’s to be expected at a small gift boutique.

This is a really nice store with unique cards and gifts. I love coming here when I need a hostess gift. You can also find some great Philadelphia and Manayunk frames, Tshirts, and signs. Great spot!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this little shop! A tad expensive, but that’s what I’d expect in a small boutique on Main Street. Looking for a fun gift for a friend? Come here! You will find the most unique gifts for anyone and everyone, for all ages! And the little pup is a happy greeting when you come in!

They have ADORABLE gifts! Jewelry, bath items, cards, baby stuff, pet stuff… Tons of cute items to buy for yourself or as a gift for someone you really like! I want to get my best friend’s kids some cute Philly apparel from here. Next time I have extra cash, watch out Little Apple!!!

Great selection of cards and unique gifts. Lots of artisan bath and body products, too. Sometimes it’s a splurge. Betty, the adorable chihuahua, is usually in the shop! They also stock some really fun pet products.

When a friend was moving from Manayunk (boo, why??) she brought me an adorable journal (perfectly sized, light weight and amazing) and an awesome card (You are the shit in gorgeous calligraphy) and I needed to know immediately where she purchased the items and this led me to the first of MANY trips to The Little Apple in the last 3 weeks! There are adorable items, from Whiskey glasses to journals to delicious smelling candles to Manayunk/​Philadelphia themed attire, great hand crafted cards, unique jewelry, baby clothes I’m buying ASAP for my friends who are expecting… you won’t regret stopping in. I love love love this place! Plus, as everyone has said, the owner is super nice and her chihuahua rescue mix is ADORABLE.

I can’t even begin to explain how absolutely adorable EVERYTHING in this shop is. I never really venture to Manayunk. I live in Center City and basically never felt the need to. But on Saturday, I happened to be out and about with my pug and stopped in The Little Apple. I could seriously have spent hours (and a week’s salary) in this place buying cute little gifts for myself and everyone I know. The woman who was working was SO friendly (not sure if she was the owner or not) and was also super nice to my little pug (extra bonus points). I would go back to Manayunk just to visit this store again. Loved.

Simply put– this place is amazing. Brandy the owner is such a treat to talk with and Bettie is a wonderful and surprising welcome when entering the store. A must stop shop when walking through downtown Manayunk!

This is my go-​to gift shop in Manayunk. The beauty of The Little Apple is its wide range of gift items. You could shop for a male coworker, grandmother, best gal pal, or a new acquaintance there and I am certain you would find something to your satisfaction. My favorite items are the snarky little vintage-​looking notebooks of insults, excuses, and the like. The cards are also very beautiful and unique. I like my cards to strike a balance between hipster chic and Papyrus snobbery. Many of the ones at TLA have cool paper cutouts and vintage-​inspired prints. They also carry Tokyo Milk products, which is an awesome surprise as I only ever see them at Sephoras. I like that the owner uses that chic little square device to swipe cards; so trendy and easy to use. To any of my friends reading, this is a great place to buy things for me.

I went to The Little Apple the other day with high expectations, based on the Unilocal reviews I had read. I was not disappointed! I went in to buy a small gift for a friend and left with a huge portion of my Christmas shopping done. There is something for everyone and the prices are AMAZING. I bought several pieces of art, but their collection of gift items is really what’s incredible. The woman who owns the shop was able to tell me all about the artists whose work I was buying, and she was so friendly with helping me in general. I’ll be going back SOON.

Quit buying your girlfriends presents everywhere else and get here. This place is the be all and end all for the perfect gift. Their selection of goods is ever changing. I dare you not to find a present for your friend, significant other, baby, or even PET.
My favorite section in here is definitely the hand crafted cards.
Added bonus– owner’s awesome little dog hangs out on the couch.

This gift shop is one of Manayunk’s gems. Every time I stop in, I leave with the perfect gift for whoever I was looking for. They have a really unique, tasteful, and humorous selection of gifts for all ages. I also get all of my greeting cards here.

This store is one of the reasons I love living in the area. It’s so fun to shop here, every time I go in I find something unique that I know a friend or family member will love.
The store owner, Molly, is such a nice person and always a pleasure to talk to. As is her pup Penn, he’s adorable and always down to play around a little.

I was so excited when I walked into the Little Apple. It’s the boutique gift shop that Manayunk was longing for. I was instantly in shopping heaven when I got a whiff of the awesome candle they had lit near the register.
The candles are one of the many great things that The Little Apple has to offer. They have anything from cute cheese graters, wine bottle carriers, Philadelphia-​themed items, the La Cucina soap and skin care line (which I LOVE!), unique jewelry, housewears, etc. Whenever I need a cute card, I’m sure to find one there for any occasion. It’s hip, it’s urban, it’s shabby, it’s chic… there’s something for everyone. The owner is also very sweet, and makes your shopping experience enjoyable. If you need help, the salespeople help you out, and if you want to just look around, that’s ok too. There is also a cute, little, French Bulldog-​esque store mascot to greet you at the door and bid you farewell.
They just celebrated their one year anniversary a few months, ago, and I hope they celebrate many more anniversaries in the years to come. So, check out the Little Apple! I’m sure you’ll become a regular.

The Little Apple is an amazing little gift shop that I love, not only because you’ll always find something new and interesting here each time you visit, but because the «shoppekeeper» Molly is so awesome! I’ve gotten a scarf here that my best friend adores, Christmas ornaments that started off my other bf’s ornament collection, and various other gifts for friends who thoroughly enjoy these unique and fun pieces. The store adds so much charm to Main St. in Manayunk and I recommend it to anyone who is window shopping, have some free time, or in need of some serious gift shopping!
