Had my pockets been a little deeper I probably would have brought home a few things but there was a lot that was out of my budget. That aside - this store is still full of beauuuutiful things. Check it out!

Great collection of stuff but pricey!

My all-time favorite store in Seattle for unique finds and a perfect place if you are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts or gag gifts. From the outside, it might look like any regular fancy store but when you walk in, you'll see that every little thing is so unique like it was handpicked that it makes me want to buy it all! LOL!

And if you are looking for fun gifts for friends, you've got to check out this place - Right from the bacon flavored toothpaste and dancing little Christmas trees, to underwear in a can.
Gag gifts aside, I like their collection of Home ware, decor and jewelry. They also have some baby clothes, handbags, toys, perfumes and stationery.

As awesome as all the stuff is, it seems a little pricey. I have found some of the same things online for a lesser price than what it was priced for at the store. Would be great if they priced more reasonably.

So much fun and unique stuff at Fireworks Gallery. I like to come in here to buy gifts for friends and family and usually end up buying something cute for myself too! The staff on my recent visit was extremely helpful.

Cute store with probably one of the best selection of Christmas ornaments. Not sure if it's year round, but they were pretty cute...and expensive. They are nicer and higher end ornaments vs the cheaper and cheesier looking ones you find at other souvenir stores.

There's enough here to find something for everyone in this store, including techno geeks (Star Wars USB sticks), modern girls (Tokyo Milk, rhinestone headbands), and eco-conscious (Envirosax, water bottles). Find things for the home (lights, candles, drinking glasses, vases), things for pets, things to wear (gloves, belts, scarves, jewelry), things to carry (lunch bags, purses, wallets), things to hug (Ugly Dolls), things to read or write in (books, greeting cards, journal) and gag type gifts (bacon tie). The selection of items is quite impressive in scope and I get the feeling that they have holiday items for every holiday.

I wasn't personally fond of the purses (seatbelt purses), scarves, or wearable accessories but the selection is so extensive that I was tempted by a few other things.

My picks:
* Stereo docks that look like giant Legos by Brix Blox
* Tokyo Milk lip balm in Honey Bee or Let Them Eat Cake
* Norm lampshade kits

Fireworks is a great store when you are looking for an interesting gift but falls a little flat because of how eclectic their collection is.

There are some beautiful things in the store. Great picture frames, little boxes, even children's gear. It's a tad pricey but justified in that they do sell lovely artsy gifts. I really do love their books on a variety of subjects. Especially their funny kids books.

The problem is that there aren't a lot of things I would purchase. Things that are nice to look at, funny, pretty but not practical. Overall, great for window shopping.

I love all the Fireworks stores (and I think I've been to them all!). Whereas I'd have given this Westlake Center site 4 stars in the past, I now would give it 5 stars, since it moved across the mall to a larger site (still on the main floor, but now on the same side as the Made in Washington store and PF Changs). Not only is the store now larger and more open, but the staff now seems less....hovering (I wonder if they just seemed that way in the old location, when circulation was more cramped. I'm not sure. The employees now seem less intrusive, which I like).

As usual, the merchandise is wonderfully eclectic, with artisan-made jewelry, funky accessories, gifts for nearly any recipient and any location, and a great baby/kids' area. (Used to be all Fireworks had a nice selection of contemporary Judaica, but no more, alas). They have a fabulous selection of holiday gifts and décor during the holiday seasons (especially XMas and Halloween).

I have never left this store empty-handed. That about sums it up!

Eclectic place with a lot of unique items (local artist jewelry,) nationally designed home goods (FRED,) accessories, pens, ornaments, trinkets, and toys. A great place to find that gift for the person who has everything or to simply kill some time looking at the odds n' ends.

Great customer service, totally unpretentious despite the quality of the goods, and just a whole lot of creativity in an otherwise rather bland mall.

Fireworks sells wee wee tepees. Yes. They do. HAH! They're little hats for baby boys' wees so that mommies/daddies won't get peed in the face.

Truth.

I would love to own a place like this. Love LOVE to own a place like this (not just because of the statement above). Then again, I have an affinity for shiny objects and clever cards (anyone that carries Borealis cards is cool by me = cards with black and white photography and quotes).

I believe this may be a Seattle chain.. which is bad because it's so far away but good because I wanted to buy pretty much every other thing I got my hands on.. from those recycled belt buckles, to cd cases and photo albums made out of license plates, to cute books, photo stands and boxes, ugh.. sooo cool! On top of the awesome merchandise.. they have an awesome staff. The woman that helped me was very approachable, helpful, and generally a sweetheart.

I was particularly attracted to the stuff by Brian Andreas, who is an artist that writes books (or a writer that is also an artist?). His drawings are on the sillier side but the books he writes, flash fiction accompanied by pictures, are so succint and poignant and lovely. Something I obviously have issues with sometimes (succint.. puh!). haha.. But the amazing part about his work is that the proceeds go to different orgs.. like the things I saw in the store went to a cancer organization and currently there are posters on his website that are going to people that were affected by the Iowa 2008 flood. I love supporting artists but when they're tied to a non-profit it really tugs on my heart.

Awesome awesome awesome. This place put me in an amazing mood. :)

I love Fireworks! Its a fun shop and you can always find neat and creative stuff in this store. I love to just browse around. They are not cheap but stuff here is definitely ideal for gift shopping!
