Just For Laughs

Just For Laughs opened in 2010 when owners Susan, Barry and Aaron saw that people loved our selection of Anne Taintor gifts in Kaleidoscope. When the opportunity came up to open a store with all funny things right next to Kaleidoscope, they said, "Hey, why not? There have to be other people like us with the same sixth sense of humor." If you want tasteful and politically correct, you've come to the wrong place. In Just For Laughs we cater to the irreverent, the sarcastic, the smart ass, the caustic, the silly and the childish. You're our kind of people.

If tee shirts with a message like, "There is absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to behave," appeal to you, you've come to right place. Our crew and knee sock appeal to a certain kind of clientele - The kind that smiles an asks questions later. "F***k this Shit" and "Carpe the f***k out of this diem" are especially popular with the over 60 crowd. Looking for something to spice up the kitchen? Hot sauces like Colon Cleanser and Ass Blaster (sold complete with an out house gift box) will be a little sparkle in anyone's kitchen.

Why not throw in the kitchen towel as well? Who needs those boring tasteful Williams Sonoma kitchen towels when send a message like: "Cat hair is a condiment in our kitchen," or Wine: How classy people get shitfaced."

Why does the bathroom have to be boring? We recommend hand sanitizers that make a statement like "Maybe you touched your genitals" hand sanitizer by Blue Q.
When you really want to impress dinner guests hand them a glass of beer in our lovely "Boobies N Beer" beer glass. We promise, your guests will walk away with a lasting memory. So, if you're offended easily - stay away. If you need a laugh, come on down to Just For Laughs on the Washington Street Mall.

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope, opened in 2001, is a women's boutique with one aim - to bring a little beauty into your life and exorcise the tedious, boring and mundane. Let's start with our clothing which is colorful, whimsical and affordable. Our fashion hats are perfect for teas, Derby parties and weddings. You'll make a statement from moment you walk through the door. But hold on, we have practical sun hats as well to protect you from those UV rays.

Looking for something inspirational? We have books on angels, books on longevity, adult coloring books, and even a pictorial book dedicated to the French cat and the French dog. When you think of Kaleidoscope, think out of the box. Speaking of which, our box signs speak a language all their own. Picture a large chalkboard sign with an inspirational message for that empty wall. Or a small one for your office.

Our complete line of Natural Life gifts elevates something as practical as chip clips, to an art. Colorful Boho headbands say, "Hey, having a bad hair day doesn't mean having a boring day." Natural Life car magnets, clips, air fresheners and car charms make that daily commute just a little less tedious. So why be boring, when you can come to Kaleidoscope and shake those black, white and grey doldrums away.
