Bing's

I had so much fun looking around this store! I will definitely have to make another trip to Des Moines just to to shop here again. The only negative thing I have to say is that they didn't open this store in Omaha!! If you're going to go here, give yourself a couple of hours so that you have time to look around at everything because there is A LOT to see.

Okay, I'm obsessed with Bing's! I love to buy gifts here for birthdays, Christmas, and for myself. This is the best place I've found for tiny trinkets - and the best cards for everything. I love Bing's, especially the shop dogs and all the kind human staff!!!

I came in excited to check out all the cute stuff. Unfortunately when I came in I was greeted with eyes that followed my every movement. I had things in my hand and would had carried a basket if offered one. Two ladies came in behind me and were greeted with delight. The cashier offered them a basket. Moments later I was ask if I could keep my items behind the counter. I looked at the cashier confused and respond with that I would like a basket as well. Confused and hesitant she gave me one. She continued to follow me as I shopped. It got to the point where I felt I couldn't continue no more and had to check out being that I felt racially profiled. The unfortunate part is some of the items sold preached toward equality and the right of others. I think some further reflection need done by some of the staff. If they wanna reach out I can provide insight on the work that needs to be done and what materials they can get to do said work. Doing the work and preaching the work are two different things. I have had others share a similar experience to mine. I hope change will come.

I'm from ND and visit a friend in Iowa usually once a year. I ALWAYS make sure we stop here! This is such a fun store!

Oh my gosh, this store is amazing! 🤩 I felt like I was never going to leave. They have great prices too! I can’t wait to come back!!

This shop was amazing. We’re visiting town for a tournament, and we were so excited when we found it. It really is the perfect place to find any gift you need for any occasion. Forgive me - the only picture I have is me acting silly with my husband. I wish I had a shop like this back home!

So many neat unique things to see! This is a great gift store for friend that has everything. They have a huge selection of stickers and have a sticker club punch card. Customer service is always tops!!

Wonderful and amazing in every way - the staff, the vibes, the merch! I always find fun and unique items

what an adorable store. so many fun treasures. you can find a gift there for anyone. staff was great. I enjoyed browsing and purchased more than I needed.

What an awesome gift shop! It's located on a charming street full of shops. The store was filled with books, puzzles, games, funny stuff, stickers, great gift items. The employees were friendly and helpful. There is also a shop dog, Penny!! Adorable!! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Definitely sensory overload but a lot of fun. So much to look at. Tons of unique gifts. Everything from socks to fun little plastic signs for your desk. They had patches to unicorn horns. A little pricey but fun stuff for the hard to buy for. They also had a display of an Iowa artists work which included a beautiful lazy Susan.

This is my go to gift shop, I have never walked in and not purchased something. Every staff member is beyond kind. They are remind that their are safe spaces and people still in iowa.

Really unique gift shop in the Valley Junction area. My 2 1/2 year old son could not leave with out a finger puppet monster and a Dinosaur Egg! I did ok, I got out of here spending under 5 bucks! Not bad for a Dinosaur egg right? The store is super cute and packed to the gills with all sorts of stuff from Trump Voodoo dolls, to socks with funny sayings, to things for Cat Moms! If you are looking for a gift for that person who has everything or likes things a bit off the beaten path, this might be a perfect spot for you to shop for them! The women running the store was so polite and nice too, and heck we went in at about 4:58 and they close at 5.. That's customer service to the max... especially on someone who was spending under 5 bucks. I will be back for sure!

As a Realtor® I've always got a gift to buy & today I found the perfect closing gift for one of my out of state buyers! I'm absolutely trilled with this wall decor, its tasteful yet screams welcome to Iowa!!

I LOVE this store! They have so many cute, unique gifts including the painted peace poles, bird houses, bird bath and more. If you have someone in your life, particularly of the free-spirited variety, rest assured you will find something special here. In the second block right on 5th street in valley junction. Go visit!

Omg, this place is Uber fun and cool. The owner is very helpful and nice. I want just about all the items in the store. The greeting cards are right on point and the feminist items were right up my alley. The store has so many fun gifts for any girlfriend. They have cute sayings on magnets and other items... If you are looking for a fun store this is your place. There isn't anything like it in Des Moines!

Love the new location! Not only are the ladies friendly and helpful, but the selection is just unbelievable. Unique, funny, and sweet gifts. You name it, they've got it:) Thank you Bing's!

I love everything about this store. Snarky, sassy, off-color giftables. If nothing else, stop in for some good belly laughs. Be warned to leave your kiddos or uptight people at the door... this may not be their cup of tea. I did a majority of my holiday shopping here, and I feel good about it-- supporting local is important to me!

Bing's brings a true element of fun to Valley Junction. They carry a wide range of whimsy products and much of it brings a smile to your face. From the wide range of unique greeting cards, stickers, trinkets, banners/pennants and more peace poles than you can imagine, Bing's is a great place for finding the perfect gift that will be a conversation starter! Be sure to check it out, if you haven't already, and bring with you an appreciation for sarcasm and be ready to leave with a smile.

This was my favorite store during my visit to valley junction. The customer service was GREAT, the selection of products was vast yet tightly curated, and I left very happy. I always appreciate a smaller shop that knows their customer. Go shop!

What an awesome gift shop! Very progressive and just walking around the shop is a highly entertaining experience. Proprietors are very welcoming and helpful. Check them out!
