Lots to look at, and once you've seen it all, you'll notice everything else you missed. Local art, atrology-focused scents & decor, crystals, a variety of books, some clothes, and I'm not even sure how to describe all of the rest of it! 100% perfectly named store, highly recommend!
Thank you for your great review Marissa 😁 we appreciate you. We definitely try to keep the vibe eclectic, fun, unusual, and odder than the normal gift stores.

Strange shop filled with crazy stuff and cursed objects. I was passing by and saw some kind of weirdness going on out front. They had a Krampus harassing the fine citizens of Ypsilanti. Seems dark, but it does draw you in. Seems like a strong focus on local artists, with some really oddball works on display. They have a repurposed cigarette machine that now dispenses random art or mystical crystals. There is absolutely nothing you need here, but you are going to spend an hour looking around, and buying everything. Highly recommended.
What a true and great review. Thank you, we had so much fun that night with Krampus. Made some memories for some folks and for ourselves 😁 so glad you came in and enjoyed your time. Please come back and see the changes we made back in April!

First time visiting on Saturday! This place is awesome! All the silly, creepy, fun, odd gifts you could ask for. The woman at the front counter was super pleasant and kind! Definitely will be back when I’m visiting Ypsilanti! Wish there was more like this store in Oakland County!
Thanks for the great review, we are proud to be here and really appreciate the support. Super happy to know you had a great experience here at TT&TOT ☠️👻☠️ will definitely relay this to Amy who was working that day!
