A recent expansion turned the once-tiny Mxyplyzyk into a spacious style emporium stocked with everything from prettily packaged soaps to retro-looking clocks. Shoppers like the toothbrush holder that's shaped...

Yelp.com Review - by Angie C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Super cute, great stuff that is just great for creative gift-giving! Something to note - they don't refund, they only exchange for store credit. Shouldn't be too hard to do at a place like MXYPLYZYK.

5.0 of 5 stars. Conspicuous consumption is fun! I had the burden of spending a $75 gift certificate at this cute boutique shop. While I couldn't get anything really big, I couldn't decide on what little things to…

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this store! It's great for finding unique pieces to give your home (or yourself) some flair. It's also a good place to find gifts for people who have everything. I've mostly gotten housewares…

Yelp.com Review - by Cheryl C.

4.0 of 5 stars. So many shiny, pretty things! How is it possible to describe something as both "whimsical" and "tightly edited" at the same time? Well, that's the genius of Mxyplyzyk (I can spell it, can't you?).…

4.0 of 5 stars. MXYPLYZYK is a lovely shop filled with quirky, mid-price knickknacks. I come here mainly to buy Moleskines and hit up the supply of Bob's Your Uncle products. It's one of my favorite gift shops in the…

2.0 of 5 stars. Yeah, lots of junk that can be eye-candy, but really useless. I mean, if you're living in a small apartment in NYC anyway, you won't have room for this kind of stuff. Nor the money.
