text: I buy so much at Wildcard that I am single handedly putting their offspring through college And we are not talking public universitynot that there is anything wrong with that YOU of W girl herebut these kids will be able to go Ivy League if they want nnI think Wildcard is supposed to be a stationary boutique but I always end up buying things that do not fall in that category and which I did not know I wanted but somehow suddenly need One time it was squirrel salt and pepper shakers then a raspberry truffle candle and who can forget the upcycled wind chime made out of forks But if you are on the hunt for paper goods they have those toonnTheres an entire wall of cards lots of them handprinted ranging from funny and absurd to poignant and beautiful that you could sift through for hours searching for the perfect note to wish someone happy birthday if you are not into snail mail the rest of the store has gifts with a local focus Things like Pittsburghcentric totes and tshirts retro jewelry recycled journals and any other quirky thing you can think of hello plushie wiener dog are stuffed in every nook and cranny I suggest spending some time digging through all their weird ephemera if you want to find a treasure that feels like it was hidden just for you nnBe sure to wander all the way to the back of the store because there is a tiny gallery sort of hidden in a little alcove that has wellpriced original art pieces They even throw parties for art openings where you can chat with the owners and munch on popcorn and cookies
