Mxyplyzyk

I hit up Mxyplyzyk on a drive by operation. I was running late to dinner, but had to stop in when I saw a solar powered bobble-​head corgi figurine in the window. I have 2 corgis, so obviously I needed this item for my desk at work. The salesman was very helpful and had me in and out in fewer than 3 mins. I wasn’t able to explore the store, but did see many cute household things that I may also need, so I’ll be back. A bobble head corgi figurine is $ 16 with tax, which is a little pricey, but I can deal with it because no one should really buy a bobble head anything, so it should be expensive.

Love, love, LOVE this store. First of all, the men who work there are the sweetest, most friendly people on the planet. Second, I want to own everything in that store! They have gifts for literally anyone and in any price range. We spent over an hour in there just browsing, chatting with the owner, and finding gifts and the experience was fantastic. Zero pressure, zero judgement, but a whole lot of great vibes and fantastic items.
If you haven’t already — DEFINITELY check it out!

I used to walk by this place almost on a daily basis. Finally I went in sometime back when I needed to buy some greeting cards.
The store is small but they carry a lot of gift items. The lady behind the cash counter was very courteous and I was able to strike a good conversation with her. The place comes handy for buying last minute gifts and is conveniently located close to the grove street path which is a big plus too.
One day I would like to know how to pronounce the name of the store!

If assuring a customer that a returned item will be followed up with a phone call for further instruction and than not following through is Mxyplyzyk’s standard operating procedure, it’s best not to shop from their web site which has expired anyway. Multiple phone calls after the New York store closed resulted in no excuses and no offers of store credit or refund. I wish I could do more than write about my $ 195 return that went uncredited, but hopefully I can save someone the trouble of choosing to shop at Mxyplyzyk. I feel sad for the owner. Perhaps he will allow store credit as long as his last shop remains open, but hurry, hurry, hurry and be very vigilant.

This place has so many things to choose from, for any price range — for adults or kids. Nice or kitschy gifts. So much fun to check out the variety.
They offered to wrap my gifts because they knew I was shipping them. They not only wrapped them with tissue paper but used different colors to make it super cute.
I even think they were closing soon but they did nothing to get me out of there. The guys were nothing but helpful and nice.
Glad to know this cute spot is in our neighborhood. A local business that does it right.
:)

Really cute place to get unique gifts as well as just to look around. Store owner is really pleasant.

Adorable place with the funnest knick knacks. I go here the day before every birthday I’ve forgotten to find something. A little pricey.

What a cute store! They have such cute stationary items. Definitely a great place to pick up a funny, witty gift for a friend, whether they are a male or female. They have funny books, cute candle holders, cellphone cases, funny birthday cards, etc. Everything is affordable, not crazy overpriced.
It’s just a few blocks from the PATH train station on Grove Street. Next time you’re in the area, just stop by and look around.

My date invited me over her spot for dinner, so I wanted to give her something memorable (seewhatididthere).
This store has some really original and artsy home décor/​dining room/​kitchen accessories that really pop.
The sales person was very affable, helpful and thankfully, not a hipster.
Dope spot to pick up a gift if you wanna impress your hostess.

Been here three times and still can’t say the name of the place, but regardless, it’s a keeper! It’s the perfect spot to pick up a hostess or birthday gift. I found an adorable small floral plate that I gave to a friend who used it as a candle holder. Picked up some yummy soaps for another friend, and the perfect candle as a house-​warming gift. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, (and obsessed with my dog which makes me like them even more). Everything in the store is a little but quirky & fun, great conversation pieces.

$@#$!~%#.
How do you pronounce that? No, I’m not talking about THAT type of word. Exactly. That’s how I feel trying to roll my tongue naming this place. But in a cool, weird way, the name works. It sticks out and I’m curious.
It’s a hip store and great ideas for gifts for those people that seem to have «everything.» Unique and stylish home décor, cool and funny cards (let’s face it, Hallmark is so yesterday), interesting gizmos and gadgets fill the small store. As Steph Y. mentions, it truly feels like a part of MOMA stepped into Jersey. Take a look and browse through the items; you may be surprised in what you find.
I bought a pouch for my camera, shaped as a camera and I love it. My friends compliment it and I think back at the purchase I made from the store. «Where’d you buy it?» Mix-​see-​ply-​zik. «What?». @$@#*@#$! indeed.

I did not buy anything here. I wandered by this store with the crazy name as I was coming home from a leisurely brunch. I stepped into this store with the crazy name to see what it was all about because there was some interesting home décor items in the window. I LOVE THE CRAZY NAME STORE.
It’s mother store is in the ever so hip Greenwich Village/​West Village and they have opened another location in JC back in Octoberish I think? This store is so out of place in Jersey City but so awesomely so. The first of its kind to bring stylish, design oriented home goods and gifts to Jersey City. They have a lot of items you would find in the MoMA store or boutique stores and to be honest not as expensive.
Some items include but not limited too — funky shaped chopping boards, gag books, figurines of famous people, collapsable collanders, lamps, and the list goes on and on. That was a poor display of what items this store has to offer. Apologies, just go in, check it out, enjoy, maybe buy yourself or someone you love a present and then of course write about i!

I was really excited to see the NY Times’ review of this unpronounceable gem of a home furnishings/​gift store, Mxyplyzyk. The Jersey City outpost is a scaled back version of its West Village big sister with the same name. Check out the review here:
The store is as young, vibrant, and quirky as the neighborhood where it’s situated: steps off of the PATH, it services an urban and mod clientele, many of whom are rooted with one foot in Jersey and the other in NYC. You’ll find sushi-​shaped erasers, fun pencil cases, an awesome assortment of handmade cards, and chicken-​shaped purses alongside fine art, sculpture, and kitchen and home furnishings. The price points are perfect for finding a fun gift for a coworker or acquaintance or even a housewarming or bridal shower gift for a close friend.
I love Myxplyzk’s fun, colorful, and vibrant store, and look forward to seeing more of their offerings for the holiday season!
