    This amazing little store has a little bit of everything. If you're looking for a gift you won't find at many other places, this is the shop to come to. They have so much stuff. We just walked in for a few minutes but I will be back to check every thing out when I have more time!! Highly recommend even if you're in the mood to just window shop!

    I don’t like leaving negative reviews, especially for a small business. I have no complaints about the store itself, they have a wide range of amazing and comical items. It’s the customer service I had an issue with. It was an older lady and a lady in probably her early 20’s working the counter. The older lady watched my friend an I as we shopped. She hinted that I was stealing two different times while watching and following us throughout the store. Then again while I was checking out. She straight up accused me of stealing WHILE I WAS RECEIVING THE RECIPT FOR WHAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED (from the younger lady). I hate to complain, and they may get stolen from often, but they cannot accuse everyone who walks in the store. Just because I am a teenager does not mean I will steal. Today ensured that I will not be returning to the store. *Reply to owner* Like you said my item was of “small nature” meaning it would not have prevented me from continuing to shop, but yes it is a standard practice at many businesses so I let it slide. “at no point were you accused of stealing” - “we asked if you had any other items behind the counter” I was not asked if I had any other items, that just did not happen. After I got my receipt the lady states “do you have another pin hidden under your glass?” (was carrying a cup). Sounds pretty accusatory to me but you see it however you like!

    Gift store with games, coasters, socks, books, and miscellaneous gifts with hilarious saying and quirky comments. Some funny stuff and good s#!t here. This was my 2nd time stopping in here, and they've gotten new stuff in from the last time I was in. The satff is super friendly. I love that they have a selection of pet products also and the staff also uses them. I will definitely start coming here more regularly.

    I love this store. Sooooo much to look at you won't believe the variety of items they have. If you like people with a sense of humor and believe in equal rights for all, this is your place!

    As gift shops go, Bing's truly has something for everyone: cute, funny, witty, political and even a little profane. The store is a kind of social commentary. It's worth the walk through just for laughs, head-shaking and eye-rolling. Well worth the visit. The buyers who supply the store must have a great time on shopping trips.

    My go to store to buy little gifts for co-workers, friends and family. My daughter loves going in with me and finding new treasures! Such a great shop to have in Valley Junction. The store stands up for an inclusive community, which is a huge reason I continue to shop there.

    The workers were really friendly and everything in the store was super cute but affordable! Definitely a great place to stop, especially if you’re just passing through and wants some fun momentos.

    My favorite store in Des Moines! Hands down!!! There is something for everyone. The best place to buy fun and unique gifts or something for yourself. I could spend all day in this store and not see it all. Victoria and Val are just the best! And don’t get me started on their shop pup, Penny. I just love them and this store!!!
