If there were ever a cross section of Palm Springs humor, it would be Greetings Gift Shop, a one-stop shop for anyone with comedic inclination. Originally from Michigan, owners Douglas Mitchell and Mike Walton moved 18 years ago from San Francisco to Palm Springs and brought their risibility with them. With the tagline “Harming only the humorless since 1978,” Greetings has no shortage of fun gifts, hilarious gags, greeting cards, and novelty pieces intended to elicit a hearty chuckle or three. Items range from sassy to scandalous and there is something for everyone. And we mean everyone. Pick up some naughty party favors for that bachelor or bachelorette party, a kitschy postcard for your great aunt, or a stunning coffee-table book or colorful print for yourself in one fell swoop.

Offering colorful limited edition prints, gifts, and apparel celebrating the midcentury Palm Springs lifestyle, SHAG the Store has become a magnet for visitors from around the world. The fine art and merchandise created by the internationally recognized painter and designer Josh Agle (better known as Shag) is available exclusively at two store locations, one in the fashionable Palm Springs Uptown Design District, the other on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
