Sparks does have awesome cards, but I always go there for my gifts too - bday and christmas especially. the customer service is excellent and staff was helpful and friendly. Nothing too expensive either, so a good selection of inexpensive fun gifts.

I definitely recommend Sparks to ALL!

I love going into Sparks. Every time I stop by, something new or beautiful or hilarious catches my eye. There's a terrific gathering of work by local artisans (of which I am one), sharp new imports and a huge selection of all kinds of cards. (And, as an added bonus, Blair let's you bring in the Amy's icecream you just bought from next door!) There's something for everyone.
