Beautiful boutique store loaded with gift items that range from earrings to socks to candles to ornaments to kitchen gadgets more..
Best gift shop in town. I can always find something unique and meaningful for a birthday or anniversary.
Prices too HIGH for quality of junk.
Wonderful gift shop with great variety of items.
i come here once a year to get my mom a birthday present. good stuff here to get for middle age women.
my last visit was kinda strange, i handed in a mug and a clock i paid for an asked to get it wrapped, she went in the back to wrap it and i over heard her tell the other worker to "watch him and make sure he doesn't steal anything". im pretty sure it was the owner who asked someone to watch me. the co worker's eyes where on me the whole awkward time as i looked around waiting for my paid items to be wrapped. might not make it back this year.
I admit, I'm pretty picky about gifts in general. I buy things for others that I love and that practically speaks their name to me. I stock up on gifts when I can because I usually don't have much time the day of a birthday party or the entire month of Christmas. When I visited For Keeps in Bowling Green, Ohio, I was totally surprised by all the cool items they have for practically everyone on my list (including my father, who is the world's most difficult person to shop for). I spent more than I intended going in, but I had no idea they would have so many unique items. My gift closet is now totally stocked. The items are reasonably priced for the high quality and the staff was friendly. When they mentioned gift wrapping, I was super excited, but declined. To be honest, I'm not sure that everything I bought will be given away. I might just be keeping a few things for myself. Looking back, their name makes more sense to me now.
I will for sure be going back to find the perfect things for the treasured people on my list. I didn't even get a chance to check out their additional floors, so I'll have to go back sometime soon.
This shop is well worth a drive out of my way. Look out family and friends - I'm about to raise the bar on our gift giving!
For Keeps is my favorite shop in Wood County! Every time I've gone in I have been greeted pleasantly by their attentive and knowledgeable staff as well as a feast for the senses. For Keeps has the most beautiful gifts that you can only find in a shop such as this where the owner takes great pride in selecting fun, fashionable, affordable, useful, etc. treasures. My children love to adventure to the second floor to look at an adorable selection of children's items. I could spend an hour each time I am in For Keeps and never leave empty handed! From Vera Bradley to Alex and Ani; from socks, scarves, and apparel to furniture, decorations, and MORE! - For Keeps is THE fun, affordable, absolute treasure right here in Bowling Green, Ohio!
I have no idea how this place is still in business. I have been in "For Keeps" several times in the past. However, tired, run of the mill items and rude, non-attentive customer service has kept me away. I recently returned, however, to find the same merchandise and same unhelpful staff. No one greeted me when I came in. Instead they stood behind the counter talking to each other. When they weren't talking to each other they were on the their phone. I was looking for a particular item they are known to carry. When I couldn't find anyone I went to find someone up front. No one was to be found. I wandered up to the second floor, but there was no associate to be found. The merchandise on the 2nd floor is so old, the price tags are fading.
I always try to shop local, but the very reason they are in business is to serve their customers and this is the very reason why they are failing. There isn't anything that they have that I can't find elsewhere. For Keeps insists on carrying "cheaper" and "lesser known brands" simply to compete with other local businesses. Obviously, I left without buying anything. I don't plan on returning.
