Editorial Review for Wishbone – by Erin Cullerton
The Scene
Wishbone is the sort of store that beckons even if you aren't in the mood to shop. Owners Gay Lam and Cory Vilano consider their irresistibly cute store a modern-day "dime store," which is why you'll find a wall of candy near the card section, and silly ribbons that exclaim "I'm a Big Girl" next to the candles and bath soaps.
The Goods
Filled with hip, urban goodies like adorable Paul Frank wallets, pricey Kate Spade day planners and Doggie Diner T-shirts, this little house of style caters to a funky, accessory-savvy crowd. Lam and Vilano handpick an array of eclectic items, and encourage shoppers to purchase knickknacks they never knew they needed. If you're not careful, you'll walk away with an alluring set of mushroom-shaped salt and pepper shakers.

If you've ever had trouble finding greeting cards that match your sarcastic personality... Wishbone is the place to go. They have fabulous cards - very funny, very non-hallmark!
Pros: Variety, Selection

I love Wishbone, I cannot go into the store without spending over $200. I'm totally addicted. They have the coolest and most unique items, and I always get compliments on practically anything I buy here. When I go into the store, I'm just so happy looking at all the stuff they have. They constantly get new stuff in, and the popular stuff goes fast. Great staff and fun shop.
Pros: selection, unique stuff, great staff
