Cheeky Monkey Bears & Gifts

Until recently, I’d never been in Cheeky Monkey because I knew the store specialized in custom stuffed bears and glassware, and I didn’t have need of either.
But I recently decided to check them out, since the shop seems cute from the outside. The clerk I talked to (who may have been the owner based on the conversation I had with him) told me that 80 percent or more of items in the shop were made in the USA. It’s nice to know you’re supporting a local business and buying made in USA, so that was a positive.
If you’re into custom bears and are willing to pay $ 200 or more a piece, then they’ve got quite a selection. The glassware collection was also pretty. I don’t know much about this area of collectibles, but I saw some pieces I know that my friends and relatives who are into glassware would appreciate.
They also sell a small selection of scented candles and some really beautiful stationery. I ended up buying two unique and lovely birthday cards there. Considering how expensive some other items were, I was surprised at how inexpensive the cards were.
Unfortunately, if you want to check Cheeky Monkey out, you should do it soon. The clerk (owner?) told me they were having the rent raised and were going to have to move to a new location or close down the shop sometime in the next month or two. He said they would continue to do business online either way.
