Midtown's largest selection of greeting cards, blank notecards and boxed notecards!

Walk into this gift shop any day or everyday, even twice a day, at the corner of 21st and L Street next door to The Distillery and down the street from Cervantes Tapas.

There’s nothing serious about the place except for the friends who drop by casually and liberally. It’s a place where neighbors and shoppers gather and become friends. The Cheers of Midtown’s gift world.

“We buy things and sell things and along the way we make friends and that’s what it’s about for us.” ETC is a lifestyle.

One of Midtown’s original shops, ETC is all about your sense of humor.
The boys pick up knick knacks and affordable, but beautiful jewelry. The inventory changes by the season or the whimsy of the shopping trip.

Although we’ve lost Statue Bob and his signs on the corner (thanks to a mean man on a bicycle), we’ve gained more friends and well-wishers inquiring about Bob’s whereabouts. Stay curious Sacramento.

What doesn’t change is the card selection. This is one of the largest greeting card repositories anywhere, yet the owners handpick each card. From bawdy to sentimental, come find that “je ne sais quoi” that you need to say what you want to say when you want to say it. Say that 10 times fast.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you find…and what you don’t. Hop on over for a conversation and a cup of humor.
