Better Prices Than the Big Chain!

Richard's has the best selection of greeting cards--even some "adult" cards. They compete directly, undercutting prices of the Ace Hardware a few doors down on many items (as well as the Rite Aid drugstore on the other side), so be sure to compare prices. They have a good selection of household cleaning products, tons of sewing notions, kids' party favors, picture frames and seasonal items. They invested heavily in the Beanie Baby craze and still have lots of Ty products. Their toy selection will save you an annoying trip to Toys 'R' Us. They have a wonderful selection of puzzles. Lots of toddler toys, too. Very interesting collection of household items. I love browsing at Richard's. Plus, I really do try to support independent merchants whenever I can, but in this case, it's not even a sacrifice.

Great fun!

I recently visited Richard's for the first time and fell in love! The service was outstanding, great selection and prices. The only problem I had was not being able to leave! Every turn you take you'll find something you never know you needed and toys from your childhood and from your parent's childhood. Great place for fun gifts.

Yes we were out early today, looking for holiday decorations, as we both combine Chanukkah/Christmas. Richards is always a first stop. Located in Peachtree Battle, along with our favorite lunch stops, Pasta Vino and Jalisco. This place is just part of our hood. The quirky staff, makes it even more fun. And we are in the store all the time. Such bargins are everywhere, kitchen gadgets, toys, cards/wrappings, and even Asian decor, although it's always the same, and nobody really buys it. But it's really such fun, when you know you are getting a bargain. And one of the owners is always in the store putting out new merchandise daily. This is a combination of the old five/dime and variety store. An Atlanta original, and not a chain. Go!
