MiCA 12/v

Mike & Carolyn the name's behind MiCa are truly amazing curating the best homemade handcrafted local gifts from a variety of artists in their shop at the corner of 12th & Vine in the heart of Over The Rhine There's no finer store in Cincinnati for amazing gifts for all members of your family, friends, colleagues and business gifts.I've purchased gifts here countless times through the years and still amazed by their selection and service.Mike recently helped me with an important corporate gift providing a variety of gifts which was hard to make a selection. MiCa 12/v is your must stop for gifts year round in Cincinnati!

This shop was ok. For my part, I didn't find anything that I had to have (which was an excellent thing for my wallet). They've got lots of space and fill that will all kinds of goodies: Wooden kitchen implements; clocks; decorative ceramics; items for children; photo frames; bags; and so on. It isn't a shop I would HAVE to stop at if I was in Cincinnati, but if I was in the neighborhood I'd wander around here just in case something caught my eye. In particular, if I was searching for a gift for someone this would not be a bad place to shopping for one.

I love this shop on the corner of Vine Street in OTR. They have some really unique and nice quality gifts here. The people working behind the counter are always friendly and welcoming. It's a fun shop to look around or to find a great gift.

As if I didn't love this store already, I had the BEST experience there yesterday and I have to write a review of the outstanding customer service and the interaction I had with the owner.First and foremost, MiCA 12/v is known to support lots of local and independent artists and has an incredibly cool vibe. I always find something that catches my eye and is swoon worthy.So, I went in to pick up some Christmas ornaments for myself and I dropped one and it shattered. Think about that loud crash you hear from the kitchen in a quiet restaurant. I was so embarassed and it made an huge mess....Well, the woman working (I didn't get her name) was so kind and so gracious and put me at ease and I'm forever grateful because I felt like such a klutz. In a shop with so many delicate and beautiful items, I just wanted to bury my head and slink out while she was vacuuming ... but, seriously, she was very sweet and I went ahead and made my purchases without any other disasters. Then, I happened to notice the floor in the middle of the shop has a kind of resin to even out the splintered wood. The owner (I believe) was very friendly and explained to me how he repaired the wood and how to go about it doing the same to my hardwood floors at home. This shop is such a local highlight and it makes OTR one of the most vibrant and interesting places to visit in Cincinnati. Thank you, MiCA 12/v not only being a cool place to find unique gifts but also a place that makes people feel comfortable and welcome.

Love this shop! Perfect local biz to grab one of a kind gifts. Cincinnati themes and not! Cute corner shop in OTR that packs a punch. This is a fun window shopping spot too! There's so much to look at, it's safe to say it'll be hard to actually see it all in one trip (so much you could miss!)!Prices can be slightly higher but it's a boutique shop- to be expected. Please consider stopping by here during the holiday season! Cute gifts!

I will never be rich, because if I ever have a bunch of money I will spend it all at MiCA 12/V. First mistake: I cannot pass this place without going in.Second mistake: I cannot control my spending habits in this store.Third mistake: I am a sucker for quirky/ locally made items: both of which are characteristics of the items they carry here....and the list goes on.For my OSU-obsessed cousin: I found Ohio-shaped rubbery earrings. For my oddball orthopedic surgeon friend: a card with a femoral head that says, "hipster." For my mother: an abominable snowman ornament. For my friend who goes on a lot of internet dates: a shot glass that says, "BE ON YOUR WAY."Maybe I am easily amused or just spot on for MiCA 12/v's target audience but I love it. My sweet sweet OTR gem... take my money.

Oh my! I happened upon this gift shop after eating out in OTR. This store will make you want to stop in and literally linger over every item they carry - soap, art, purses, baby items, kitchenware, etc. Too many to mention . You just have to see for yourself. Their inventory is filled with interesting, unique, quality items that are made locally. Besides the merchandise, the people who work their are super friendly and helpful. I also love the fact that it is an independently owned business. It just feels good to be in there and will definitely be a place that I return to over and over again.

Like everyone else, I wonder how I've not written this review before. I always stop here while in OTR. Beautiful and some handmade items. I've bought many gifts here. Can't wait for my next baby shower so I can buy that gift here too...softest blankets and bibs ever! Just keep it up, and I'll keep coming.

How is a place that is so tiny also so awesome? My Michelle Obama nightlight (a gift from Kasen M) is from here. I love that they are suppliers of my need for Obama-related art. That nightlight will guide me through the Trump years into better days. They have a wide selection of quality items from greeting cards to home goods to purses. They also feature Cincinnati gifts and postcards that are a little bit nicer than other places. The staff is also super helpful and we all like that. I love leaving my money here.

As one of my favorite shops in the city, I always come here for gifts to send to family and friends (and myself). There is basically something for everyone. From a miniature handmade pocket knife I once picked up for my boyfriend, to the wooden magnetic block spaceship I got for a 1 year old there is literally something for everyone. There is also a large selection of Matt & Nat bags. These are the vegan leather pieces that are perfect for everything from work bags to a night out on the town crossbody. Everything in there is unique and you can find a lot of Cincinnati themed decor. I love picking odd dishes for my kitchen. Stop by you won't be disappointed!
