This store is fun and interesting to shop around in. They have all the Little miss and mr books (Little miss shy, Mr. Happy, etc) if you remember them from your childhood, plus cool kitchen gadgets and even an entire collection of those miniature plastic smurfs from the mid-80s. There is just so much to look at and so many potential purchases you probably shouldn't be making but need to anyway.

Karikter is the kind of store that has dozens of things that you don't need but it doesn't take long in this store to rationalize why you have to buy something. Whether you're a fan of Alessi, TinTin or Philippe Starck the shelves are filled the best of examples of what will surely be the kitsch of the end of the 21st century.
The staff has traditionally been a little uncaring but I stopped in recently and there was actually a terrific young woman working there for a change. I can't imagine what happened to change their policy.
