We love finding whimsical goodies that'll brighten your day. The name catching fireflies was inspired by one of our favorite artists, but it is a lot more. It's that nostalgic feeling you get inside when you think back to those carefree days as a child. It's finding delight in the simple pleasures that you encounter everyday.

This is going to be my go-to gift shop from now on. The best eclectic mix of gifts and something for everyone on your list. It's a one-stop shop of high quality items.

This place is a great store! They have gifts for every type of person/child/infant you might be looking for. I always find the cutest gifts here and even extra stuff for myself that I didn't know I needed but had to have. haha Bonus: they will also gift wrap your purchase for you, free of charge. The staff are very helpful and friendly as well.

My favorite store! Every time I go in to buy a gift, I leave with multiple items that are original, well made, and fun. And the recipients always love them!

Fun and eclectic shop in downtown Berkley. Lots of fun and cool Michigan items. What fantastic and great Saturday shop. There are so many Michigan inspired items. They have socks, candles, wall or table art, bags, scarfs, jewelry, cards, UofM, MSU, stationary, kitchen accessories and so much more.

This was a great shopping experience. My 12 year old daughter and I browsed unique games and gifts. We bought some spa stuff for a gift for a 10 year old. I'm sure my niece will enjoy some self pampering. I was obsessed with the game section. Lots of fun games would be great for families or in the car. Parking was abundant. Items were displayed creatively.

Lots of room to social distance. The employees were helpful, friendly, and following the rules of the pandemic. We felt safe and appreciated. We will be back. It takes more then one visit to browse the whole store. So much to see.

This place is a overpriced and overrated junk shop. They sell junk. If you want a cheap looking gift to give then this is the place for you. I've had a few interactions with the owner and she's the original Karen. Stay away.

Love love love this store! While things have been closed for the pandemic, they updated their website and made it super easy to navigate. They have such a wide selection of fun and quirky items! And then they offered contact-free carry out to my car. And everything was well wrapped and protected. They were so nice and friendly! Such a wonderful experience.

Great place to find locally made goods, knickknacks and art pieces. Plenty of stuff to make your home feel cozy. They have a great selection of wedding items, baby items, and cards. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. There is a comfy chair for those men who are shopping with their ladies. Reasonable prices.

My go-to spot for holiday or birthday gifts! There is always something new when you come in and I have never left without buying at least 3 things. Many items come from artisans so you are bound to find something unique. The staff are very nice and friendly as well. I tell people about this place all the time, and recommend to everyone to go check out! I love this place!

Super cute stuff and great place to find something unique for that hard to buy for person (or yourself!). The negative - and I should have noticed this before buying but I did not - but they do not do refunds, only exchanges.

Another awesome local store in Berkley! They have so many unique things to find. Love their selection of cards. They always have out a seasonal display -right now lots of Christmas and winter products. Love the collection of Michigan items. There's an area in the front with wedding and love themed items that is my go to when I need a shower or wedding present! Also staff is nice and helpful--always friendly.

I was so surprised and interested with the gifts and other little souveniers in the shop. Totally recommend to people who like to be creative and chill.

This place is so cute, right in the heart of downtown Berkley. My girls and I were running errands and started at Yellow Door. Catching Fireflies is it's sister store for more of the younger crowd. My girls love it. It has cute toys, fairy doors, a whole whimsical doggy section, and gosh. so much more. It is pretty clustered in there. You really have to watch what you are doing. I always let my girls pick something small out and head on our way. I wish they had a bargain section. Oh well, they don't and they break everything so we just look.

We turned up about 15 minutes before closing and they didn't cringe, so that was cool, haha! Staff was really nice when my aunt was trying to see if they had a style of socks we saw on the men's display also in women's size (they did!) This shop reminded me of my old favorite gift shop when I lived in Texas (Sleeping Lizzards in Denton) with their variety and selection, but there was SO MUCH stuff that we definitely did not do it justice in the small time we were there. Would definitely return!

Great collection of gifts and Michigan inspired art. I'm sad that I haven't discovered this place until now. Great place for random finds and unique gifts for family and friends. The place may seem a little overwhelming at first with so many displays but it is organized well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Make sure you give yourself enough time to browse.

Neat little boutique. Has a little bit of everything but also has a sister store called The Yellow Door a couple of stores down that is nothing but Michigan artisans. Owner is very creative.

Ever since my daughter enrolled in the dance school across the way, I have been going to this shop. Good unusual products and one of a kind things for the perfect gift.

Such a cute store! I prefer their sister store, the Yellow Door Art Market, simply because it's all stuff made my individual artisits, but this place is great for mass-produced gifts that are still awesome.

I love this store, they have a wonderful variety of items for every occasion! Plus their shop kitty Piper is a wonderful perk to the store! You can definitely find unique gifts for everyone here.

Catching Firefly's is a staple to Berkley. They have all sorts of intricate artsy and hand made gifts here. This is the place I go to get my wife her Christmas present as they have unique items. If you check in here using the Yelp app you usually get 10% off too! Some of the things they have are handmade jewelry, books, gag gifts, picture frames, art photos, kids toys, and the list goes on. All the workers are very nice and helpful too! I come back every year and you should start now!
