Beautiful local selection of gifts. Calm, relaxing environment. Great to support local artisans. Each product is thoughtfully curated.

I go for last minute gifts. Good selection of funky/local flavor stuff. High prices. I understand that for handmade gifts, but the fact that 95% of basic birthday/anniversary/holiday cards are $5 and up is not acceptable. Still requiring masks, which is rude, so I don't really go anymore unless I have to.

They have really nice and unique pieces, and I enjoy supporting local artists. I just have never had a good interaction with staff here, including the owner.

VIX has wonderful locally made crafts. The vibe is warm and company.The store is open (Dec 14, 2020), but you'll have to be buzzed in because the owner is only letting a few customers in at a time.

If you are trying to represent West philadelphia, Vix is the greatest gift shop. Original artist work and the funkiest staff in the city. It is incredibly hip or cool...I'm not cool myself, but I know it when I see it, and Vix is cool, cats and kittens. If you can't be cool, give your hip friend something from Vix. Copacetic.

This is my favorite gift shop in the city. My wife joked today that it wouldn't be a proper aniversery without a gift from Vix. Which is true I think every year I do get her something from Vix. Little does she know I also found something for Mother's Day and a just because gift. I like Vix because it is the perfect trifecta of purchasing my values of local and hand made; good quality and unique; and affordable.

When I first discovered VIX Emporium, I was lured in by the sign advertising that they sold Girl Scout cookies--I stopped in to buy a few boxes and was mesmerized by their product selection--clothing, jewelry, and accessories to housewares, bags, and even nail polish/natural bath and skincare products! They offer something that appeals to anyone who may stop in. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I love how they are passionate about supporting local handmade artists as well as artisans from elsewhere in the states.

I've always wanted to stop and shop at VIX, but due to my work schedule was unable to do so. This past Saturday, I was more than happy when I happened to walk by and find it opened. A pair of butterfly earrings caught my eye and Amanda was more than happy to assist me by offering to get them out of the window. She showed me some other beautifully handmade earrings and I was immediately drawn by her pleasant personality. I plan to shop there again and I would strongly recommend the shop to anyone that appreciates unique finds to visit as well.

This is a great place to buy cards and gifts in West Philly. They have a fantastic selection of hand crafted art, pottery, jewelry, toys, soaps, and more. Also, they are super helpful with suggestions and cute gift wrapping.

Quirky gift shop with a wide variety of items, slightly on the expensive side, but is a very good place for handmade, quality gifts made by mostly local artisans and artists.

A small boutique featuring hand-crafted gifts created by local Philadelphia artists. Prices are higher than other gift shops as most items are unique. Find jewelry, ceramics, cards, prints, home decor, and more, many highlighting Philly landmarks and culture.
