One of the biggest lies in the world:

"I went into an adult bookstore once"
;D
I've also been inside Orpha's Lounge once.

Unlike Orpha's, I would consider going back to the Midtown Adult Superstore.   ;)

I've always wanted to visit Orpha's.  I think it has a cool exterior, great signage and the location would make a great "locals" bar kind of like Cellar Dweller or Arnie's.  Not a place the folks from out of town are going to see in the convention hand out.

Orpha's looks like the recidivist, embarrassing devilchild of a little brother to Akron, Ohio's famous "Rob Roy's Gourmet Lounge".

Mecca in Brookside is a good place to go Christmas shopping.

OTASCO, TG&Y, Clark's, Orbach's, Renbergs, Venables, Marge McNierny's... got many a gift from those places and for others there.

And don't forget Frougs, Looboyles, Oertles, Harringtons, Irene Herberts, Field's in Utica Square, Vandevers, Brown Dunkin.

LaDonna's on 15th will also do gift baskets.

Garden Diva's (I can never remember the exact address--I just seem to find it from driving around.  I think its off of 3rd near Trenton).

Apple Tree on 41st, between Sheridan & Memorial, has kids stuff, though more on the schooling side.

I have often found good items in Tapestry of Faith (41st & Peoria), including my favorite Oklahoma centenniel ornament (despite its name, it actually has a good assortment of non-religious stuff, and it truly embraces all religions--great place to find something for Chanukah.  Just ignore all the Greek stuff).

I wish there was some place that focused on sellling Oklahoma/Tulsa crafts.

Dwelling Spaces in the Blue Dome District at 2nd & Detroit has quite a bit of local made goods.  Some could be called crafts but some are more designer.

The Stock Pot/Smalley's Restaurant supply on 41st has some very cool kitchen gadgets this year

And don't forget the flea markets! I plan on hitting the fairgrounds tomorrow to find a gift for my brother. There's also the Saturday Flea Market on 51st just off I-44 at the W. 51st St. exit.
