| - Salty Not Sweet is a great little boutique on West 25th. I initially came in to look for a decor gift for my cousin's new dorm room. I was excited when I saw they carried Candra Squire word art. Candra makes these great, affordable 5x7 mixed media prints called "notes to self" -- with inspiring, truthful or funny thoughts matted into a frame. They are my favorite small gifts and are always unique and special.
To that note, they carry almost exclusively local and independent artists. You'll have a bit of visual overload when you enter, but just take your time to truly go through everything. I think their strong suit is their art selection. This includes prints, greeting cards, kitschy art accessories, even prints of animal heads superimposed on vintage photos (I swear to god, see my photos below).
Other standouts include accessories and locally oriented coasters, glassware and entertaining items. Same goes for CLE t-shirts-- there are sooo many in diverse sizes. Don't ask me which t-shirt brand is. There are so many t-shirt brands in Cleveland, I cannot even keep track at this point (they all blur together after a while). Overall, if you need any type of small/large gift, or have a "what on earth should I buy this person?" on your list, you can probably find a great option in here.
