Absolutely fantastic unique shop! The choice of books, cards, gifts, jewelry etc… is amazing. The staff is all friendly and super helpful. It’s a pleasure to shop here and I can’t wait to go back!
Been going to Kards for years. Great location for cards / fun small gifts for any occasion. I do feel that their books are a bit pricey, but being a local shop on a *very* expensive street its not anything you can blame them for. Awesome selection, very friendly staff, and definitely a Walnut Street staple as far as businesses go. Highly recommended.
Great gift shop. Theres something for just about everyone here! Funny items, socks, cards, books, figurines, games, puzzles, baby books, comics, pride flags, pins, shirts, and more! It is a little cramped so you would likely have trouble if youre in a wheelchair or have toddlers.
A wonderful new owner. Such a delightful store. Lots of unique gifts, cards and items. Its a happy place to shop. Go, explore and enjoy.
Best card store in the Burgh! Dont know what gift to give someone? Start here. If you dont find something you will know what you want. And the cards ... they have the one youre looking for. Go across the street to the variety store too. Between the two places even the hardest person to get gifts for is covered.
This place rules. Fun cards, everything you can imagine! this is NOT A HALLMARK store, they have good blanks, irreverent, wholesome, etc. I struggle to find good cards and this place fills that need. They also have great books and puzzles and i love it. Go there for a need or go there to kill 20 minutes. Just go there.
This store is fantastic. I could go broke in this place. Theres something for everyone! Fair warning, there are some adult-themed items in view for little ones.
They have a small, but really excellent selection of graphic novels and books.
My favorite place to go! This place feeds my soul. What are you looking to buy? Cards? Books? Journals? Notebooks? Themed soap, overpriced candles, cool pins, pretty puzzles, funny shirts, toys, hats, funky socks, temporary tattoos, jewelry, random stuff, nothing in particular? Do you just want to go somewhere but dont know where? Well, look no further, Kards Unlimited is the place for you. I mean, its called unlimited for a reason...
Lots of really cool books, many by less commonly known authors. Also a huge assortment of greeting cards to choose from. Staff are always super friendly and helpful.
I always get a card here for every special occasion. They always have the perfect card.
I love this place. amazing for gifts. a little cramped though
One of the best indie shops around. Books, Pins, Socks, Games, Cards...you will never leave empty handed. Its all of my favorite online things but in a long standing brick & mortar. SHOP LOCAL!!
This store is a hidden gem! Anytime I need a unique or special card, I know that I can find one here. They have a huge selection of cards for every occasion. They also have a great selection of books and gifts. I love going to Kards Unlimited and browsing around. I always find something that I love! The staff is always friendly and helpful as well. I like spending my money in small businesses as opposed to big chain stores. If you feel the same, then this place is also the store for you! During a recent visit I was pleased to learn that the staff is doing what they need to do to keep everyone safe. They kindly remind everyone to wear a mask in the store, and even have some available if you have forgotten yours! Great job 👏🏻
Always a great card options and unique gifts!
Very unique selection of cards and trinkets. However, seemed to get attitude from the salesperson on a recent visit - put a bit of a sting to the premium prices we paid.
Loveeee the store, staff and overall vibe ♡♡
Love this little shop for all your gift needs. You also discover so many new things with every visit. I also love how management is taking health safety very seriously during this pandemic. Will be supporting this place more in the future! Kudos to everyone working at Kards Unlimited! You’re the best!
My favorite bookstore! I always stop in, even if its just to browse, whenever Im in Shadyside. Great selection and extremely friendly staff.
I can always count on Kards Unlimited to have a perfect unique card, gift, book, stickers, or wrapping materials to make something really special. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about new arrivals and where to find certain things in the store and are always lovely to talk to. I am a Pittsburgh native and an ecstatic customer for life. Thank you Kards for being the absolute best!
If you can find a more delightful “bookstore” in all the land, I am prepared to prove you wrong. I have no fear of dying on this sword because we both know that Kards Unlimited is the epitome of wholehearted genuine businesses in Pittsburgh. This store is the flame that persists through the sometimes shaded noir of Walnut Street. May you find yourself in bliss among the shelves, accoutrements, adornments, pages, and the ever evolving stockade of perfect trinkets to express your affection in gift.
The store is super cool and the staff is always incredibly nice, helpful, and supportive. This place is a Pittsburgh legend!Also, it’s one of the few stores I trust during pandemic times- they take every precaution. I am grateful to Kards for taking their- and our- safety into account. ❤️
I love this store! Their card selection is phenomenal and its a bit like the Tardis - you dont know how big it is until you get inside. Everyone always has such a positive energy in there and they seem to really care about their employees and customers safety. I really appreciate that theyre offering pick up and delivery now for those of us who arent ready to go back into stores or cant because of health reasons.
A solid bookstore with a large collection of new books for purchase and plenty of fun knick knacks and t-shirts!I do have to complain about the choice to have an entire section at the ENTRANCE of the store dedicated to some particularly NSFW and anatomically graphic items used during bachelorette parties - if you catch my drift.If they want to sell these items, more power to them, but putting them right at the entrance of the store, next to childrens toys seems like a pretty monumental oversight.This store is quite large and has plenty of room to put next to other gag gifts, so I just do not understand why it is one of the first things you see while entering a book/ card store of all things.Anyways, its a neat store with fun stuff to check out- its just kind of bothered me that it isnt appropriate for children upon walking in.
Cards, books, jewelry, T-shirt’s, posters and trinkets all lining the walls of this eccentric, inclusive, loving environment. I have bought gifts for every member of my family from this store. It is precisely the business that makes Pittsburgh wonderful.
This is an amazing local book shop. It has a wide variety of books ranging from fiction to nonfiction. You can also find some fun cards and knick-knacks. Its located on Walnut street, a nice downtown area of Shadyside. It adds a lot of personality to the street!
A great place to find unique cards and gifts.
The people that work there are passionate about their jobs and the community. And in times like this it’s refreshing. Amazing store and products.
I love stopping in this store for a great selection of cards, wrapping paper, and niche gifts for everyone I know. The only downside is that I always spending more than I expect because of how much great stuff I find!
Best place to buy cards, gifts, books, puzzles, and more. Very quirky in a good way. Store employees are very helpful.
Great gifts for yourself, family, friends - funny, cute and one of a kind. Something for everyone!
Very fun store to explore, they have the best cards and hidden treasures. I always get my thank you and holiday cards here when I can :)
Suuuuper pricey. Great place tho
Absolutely great novelty shop and if you like books is a great book store for novelty type books that you cant find anywhere else also has a great collection of pins
Unique stuff for no average people like us! Visit! You will love it!
Such a great shop with great people! Miss this place most of all when my husband and I left Pittsburgh. It was always my #1 stop for gifts and cards for friends and family.
This is just a wonderful store!Take the time to take a look....you will NOT be disappointed. Something for everyone.
Still the best!
I meant to post this a few weeks ago when I bought a puzzle from them over the phone and they did free, same-day-delivery. Just a bunch of angels with incredible customer service, a thoughtfully curated selection of books, and amazing community-focused adaptations to the pandemic.
One of the best gifts and unique cards store in Pittsburgh
This place is great, not just for cards, but novelty stuff as well
Went to look for a place to buy a birthday card for my aunt while out of town, came upon this place. Sadly they are photographing people who choose to exercise the optional mask policy that is in place in Allegheny county. Shame on you for this conduct.
Superb broad selection of quaint personalized gifts and memorabilia. Nested in the hip District of shadyside, this book store has all kinds of really cool titles and special gifts you can get for that special someone. You might get lost in time perusing through different book titles, cards and other fun gifts.
I ordered a puzzle during COVID19 shut down. Karma Unlimited Staff picked up the phone right away. I got the puzzle within 3 days even though I was halfway across the country. Really glad I thought of them - they’ve got a great selection of puzzles for a very reasonable price.
I love this store! They carry quite a large variety of interesting merchandise. They have a large variety of books, cards, candles, and lots of odds and ends knickknacks and souvenirs. It’s definitely worth checking out.
This place is awesome. Locally owned and huge selection for any gift occasion. Spend your money here and get a coffee next door.
Great selection of cards, gifts, and books for all ages!
I go to Kards Unlimited when I need a card for a special occasion and I always leave with an amazing card and usually something fun for myself!
The sheer magnitude of the variety of items in here is astounding and its one of the most unique places Ive ever been to. Literally anyone can come in and find something quirky or cute or interesting that they like. The store is a bit crowdef because of all the cool things in it, but that just adds to its individuality. Its a great place to let your inner child run free.
Sweet little spot with a good moral compass pointing towards true north.
My wife and I love coming here. We picked some last minute gifts and a little present for ourselves (an awesome calender). Its a great place to find the unusual.
Kards Unlimited is awesome. They have a ton of board games, toys and books, to name a few things. They have cards and all kinds of interesting things to shop for. Definitely a must-see if youre on Walnut St.
One of the coolest and different stores in the city. Huge variety of items. Alot of pop culture items. Do not walk by this store.
Perfect place to pick up any last minute gift you can think of. There may literally be something in there that any and everyone may enjoy. Also, kind quick to help staff are readily available.
Kards Unlimited is quite possibly the coolest nerd store ever! (Or at least in Pittsburgh haha)With a huge selection of great books of all genres, a massive card collection for whatever occasion you may need and lots of board games, trinkets and the like you can easily spend an hour plus in the store!The staff is helpful and quite knowledgeable in what products they offer so if you feel stuck or dont have an hour to go meander around just ask anyone and they will help you out no problem!A go-to for when those fellow nerdy friends come to visit, and conveniently located on Walnut Street next to so many other shops and restaurants!
I love this place. It doesnt matter who I need to get something for, I can find it here. They have an amazing selection of books, cards, knickknacks, jewelery, etc...In addition, the staff is always super kind and really knows their stuff. Someone always had an answer, or a recommendation. Its a great store.
Kards Unlimited has a lot of great books, funny greeting cards, and other novelty gifts. I get a lot of presents here every Christmas. They have nice signs with recommendations for different books so its easy to find something new you will love as well! Ive joined their book club too and have a lot of fun here! Very charming, and worth buying in person rather than off Amazon.
Cute shop. Great place to find fun gifts for family and friends
There is a great variety of items from comical to fandom style available for gifting. There are not any good Pittsburgh themed cards, however funny and cute ones are abundant. You can find things from cool kids toys/gadgets, star wars gifts, and a decent selection of popular books. gold star for having candy during halloween week
Such a fun place to wonder through, I always end up leaving with something in hand!
Cool fun stuff! Unique gifts for children/ adults, unique books...ornaments...novelties....t-shirts.....Cards.....and stuff. I drive across the city to get here and its always worth it.
This shop is one of my favorite in town for unique cards!!
Great selection staffed by amazing people AND DOG FRIENDLY
Always something uniqueGreat for that apology gift haha
I love this store but last time I went there I got an attitude from the person ringing up my order. I am not sure why, I dont think I was being rude, I was just trying to be friendly and start a conversation about my item I was purchasing. When you spend $5 on a single card I wouldnt expect a snotty attitude given to me.I get its Shadysides Walnut street people look at my school tuition as pocket cash and stuff but I literally wasnt doing anything wrong or annoying. I LITERALLY WORK AS A CASHIER. I am hoping though, that the employee was just having a rough day and that next time I need a gift I will have a good experience.
Great store to pick up a cool gift for someone!
Interesting store filled with interesting things. The books seem to be well curated, the cards are clever. Plenty of other baubles to peruse as well. I highly suggest checking this place out if you havent
A great place for cards, cute and funny gifts, birthday cards, etc. Must visit them for unique gift.
This place is great for all sorts of things. The funniest birthday cards youll ever find, funny books, and various other gift ideas for that friend that you know you can joke around with. Just dont try to walk in with a backpack, you can barely fit through some of the aisles without one.
A great place for cards, cute and funny gifts, and well curated books and graphics novels..
Willing to refuse entry to people who don’t have the common decency to keep the community safe during a pandemic. Well done.
I go here for unique gifts, and sometimes just to browse. As the name implies, they have lots of greeting cards, including some with adult humor.
Really cute shop for books, novelty items, and cards!
My favorite card/gift shop in the city. Every inch of the shop is adorned in unique and interesting items from jewelry to gag gifts to tea to bath/body. You never know what youll find, but its always worth a look.
Lots of cool stuff! Lots of fandoms, cards, books! Good one stop shop if youre looking for a gift, especially for your favorite geek.
This is an awesome place for greeting cards that dont suck, and for small unique gifts. Definitely a niche business, but they do such a good job I love shopping here. I highly recommend a visit.
I always go here when I dont know what gift to give someone and walk out with just the right thing.
Outstanding selection of cards and gifts.
One of the greatest places in Pittsburgh! It has many wonderful things!
One of my favorite places to do holiday shopping in Pittsburgh. Unique and offbeat cards, books, gifts, decorations and stationary. Local made goods such as jewelry and clothing.
Quirky shop with a big card selection. Not like Hallmark or CVS. I always find the perfect card here. They carry an array of interesting gifts, calendars, books, etc.
Great selection of odd cards and nostalgic toys!Ive purchased a few sets of cards from this shop for my penpals and theyre always greatly appreciated!
Pretty cool novelty/books shop. Every book nerds dream!
Grateful for Kards for keeping my family safe.
Fun and quirky store with lots of interesting items and good book recommendation racks. Kind of a tight squeeze but one of my favorite shops on Walnut St.
THE best place for greeting cards, birthday cards, etc...and lots of little gifts, also! Just expect a high price tag.
Probably one of the best card stores in the region.
This is so much cooler andfunner than a Spencers Gifts store. Best enjoyed if not on a time restraint!
Amazing store where you could happily spend hours and find something for anyone!
If you want something unique or happen to wait until the last minute to get gifts and cards, this is the place to go. When I was going to a wedding I thought about how so many of the guests would probably get greeting cards at places like Target, and I did not want to give a repeat card, so I went to Kards Unlimited. While I was there I also found beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon. Is it the cheapest place? No. But the items I got were unique and beautiful; exactly what I wanted. Also, a lot of their gift items are funny! so you get to laugh while you shop!
My favorite store in Shadyside! It has gag toys, books, comics, cards, t-shirts, and any other item you might imagine in a hipster shop. I can spend quite a long time looking at all the cool little trinkets.
A fun shop with TONS of really great things inside. I would have spent hours in the store alone but we were there for a specific reason and had to leave. I will be making my way back there soon!
They will refuse you service even if you have a health issue that prohibits you from wearing a mask. Will not be shopping here!
Really cool shop that always end up spending too much time in
Great card and gift shop, full of books and crannies.
I visit Kards Unlimited every time I need to buy gifts. Absolutely fantastic.
Great selection!
