Fantasy Gifts

First wrote my review over 5 months ago, but have been a customer for 2 years.
This place has always been impressive, but if you vape — prepare to have your socks knocked off :)

A good shop.
I like that there is a huge selection of gifts. For every taste. I have many friends so I come here often. And I can always find something new and special.
Be sure I will come again.

I’ve been coming here for years and the quality, selection and overall friendliness of the staff never falters
I stupidly broke my Nautilus tank (e-​cig/​vape component) and they had replacement glass!!!
Totally saved the day!

The staff here are really knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. Really beautiful assortment of pipes ranging from cheap and simple to costly and elaborate. Really chill.

Hookah life! Very pleasant and inexpensive and great quality products. The guys know my husband and I by name and are always willing to go above and beyond to help. This is the place to be. Vape life!

This place sells fake Aspire and Spinner products. Avoid for your ecig needs.
I usually shop at another vendor for my ecig wares but enjoy the location close to home and later hours.
I purchased a Vision spinner 2 battery there about two and a half weeks ago for 30 dollars and some oils. One of the oils was rather nice (maple cream) and the other tasted metallic (cowboy tobacco) and had to throw it out.
Fast forward to now.
Needed an Aspire BDC coil replacement. After getting home it fried my battery and tasted awful. The clerk seemed cool enough stating my older BDC tank was bad and offered to replace it or meet me half way with a discount on a newer Spinner 2. I chose the new «Aspire tank».
Doing further research found out they sell fake Spinner and Aspire products.
The Spinner battery was stainless steel with white lettering — according to the manufactures website those are frauds. Upon further research on the Aspire tank they gave me, that was a fake too.
Aspire products (coils, etc) have serial numbers and the company logo printed on even the atomizers. This brand new one didn’t even come with a serialized box and had a fake coil in it. All reputable dealers of Aspire products have the box upon sale with a scratch off serial number you can check on the website.
It is one thing to get a clone for a lesser price, but to pay full price for cheap knock offs is highly unethical.
Wasted 100 dollars on, cheap knock offs here.

Oh My! I asked my friend if we could go inside this place because it looked interesting and fun.
Opening the door I felt sucked into a play land of silliness and curiosities.
That was until I looked to my right and saw a wall of vibrators.
Ha ha ha ha… so hilarious!
Starting left from the front door there are nonsensical items.
Random things. I really enjoy random and off the wall.
Going forward lamps, various paraphernalia and whatnot.
Totally FUN!
To the right its all physical contact items.
A few that make you look at the packaging and pause to figure out WHAT exactly would you do with this.
Others inspiring.
Honestly. I’m thrilled we stumbled in here.
This would be the perfect spot to suggest going to while out for bevs to «TEST» the reaction of people.
Ha ha ha… I’m all over that.
I shall return.

Not just cool stuff, things and gadgets… Cool owner and employees as well!
This place has been there since way before I first moved to the ‘trose. It has evolved but still has an incredible charm.
The pieces are laid out for you to admire. The staff can answer any, well asked, questions.
I’ve personally been going to this establishment for the past 10 – 12 years and am confident when I say this is the best smoke/​novelty store you can go to.
I’ve come for cigarettes. I’ve come for smoking utensils. Always found exactly what I needed.
Come to this store and get to check out all the fun stuff! Support small businesses and enjoy the experience!

I used to hate this place when the fat guy with the beard used to work there. That guy was just an asshole. There’s a new guy working there who is totally awesome. I go in regularly now to pick up pipes. Good selection of sex toys. Always fun to pop in and look around.

I grew up going to head shops. This one is a bit better than most because they have a fantastic array of supplies and fun things to look at. The cigarettes are fairly cheap and the staff is friendly.
You could spend an hour looking at the blown glass pipes in here, great pieces of art. they have invested in getting some truly gifted people to display their work there.
The sex toy department is ho hum, but large enough to cover any emergencies.
The place is really full of unususal gifty type items and its a blast just meandering…

I LOVE this place! That is all.
But no, really, I have been to my fair share of «fantasy» shops and this by far beats them all. The next best would be Bizarre Bizarre, but this one is right around the corner from me, which makes it extremely convenient.
I agree with the other reviews about how down to earth the guy who works there is. Then again, he’s probably seen it all and nothing surprises him anymore.
Whatever your little heart desires, they will have it. From overly priced what-​the-​heck-​are-​those dildos to cheap incense and even shisha for the hookah, they will have it.
I also just love the environment about the place. You don’t get that feeling like someone is watching over you every second. You’re free to just roam and look around, which is a nice change.

For a place with dildos on the wall, the guy working there was really down to Earth and helpful. It’s the only place in my neighborhood which has Satya Sai Baba incense (shame on you, Magick Cauldron!), and they have it for cheap. They even accept credit/​debit cards without a minimum.
Also they’re open late (midnight during the week, 2am on weekends) which makes sense for a shop like this.
Oh yeah, and you can buy condoms here without having someone get them out of a glass case and escort you to the front.
I’m making this my regular head shop.

Most of the staff is too messed up to actually be helpful when you need them to be. But its convenient sometimes… alternately, it may be better to just drive the extra 8 blocks and just go somewhere else.

This store is pretty cool. Yes, it is an adult store, but really has more than what alot of people would think! They have cool stuff here! I seen Buddha heads, nostalgic toys, incense, Ed Hardy candles, etc. Stopped in to just check it out since it is in the neighborhood. Walked in around 10pm and thought it was pretty darn cool. They have the adult stuff and glass pipes that are quite beautifully crafted and decorated. The guy working here is laid back. Lets you browse to your heart’s content, even if you do not buy anything.
I think this is a cool place to browse and for interesting gifts. Just cause the place is an adult store should not deter anyone from stopping in!

I’ve passed this store a million times and never felt the compulsion to enter it, as my days of smoke shops ended over a decade ago in Austin with the mother of all smoke shops, Planet K. Luckily, we are in Houston where there are no zoning laws and the adult toy shops don’t attract weekly vice raids demanding to hand over the dildos and inflatable sheep along with the «water pipes».
My friend was looking for a pipe and they had an incredible array of art glass pipes, including local handmade ones in the $ 100-​$ 250 range which were shaped into Yoda, pit bull dogs, a blue squirrel, a hot dog and a hamster complete with tiny pink nub tail and feets. Awwww, light up and pass the glass hamster on the left hand side, bra! While he was looking for whatever it was in particular (I don’t smoke), I was looking at the deluxe adult toy case full of Lelo brand items, which are the gold standard in silicone toys. While none of the stores carrying Lelo price them as low as online retailers such as
, Fantasy has them at a good deal cheaper than Erotic Cabaret but the other items one finds at EC are certainly lacking, along with EC’s great customer service. I can’t really expect the half-​stoned dude at Fantasy to give me an honest opinion on which Lelo product will best (blank) my (blank) when he’s not a cute alterna lady like myself or the EC staff.
Warning: if you cannot produce an ID in Fantasy, they will tell you to leave the store. My friend didn’t have his and asked to buy some sort of herbal product, which sparked an interest from the clerk in suddenly proving his age or whether he was vice or something, which was odd considering that he & I have been in several 18+ places without such questioning. Friend slunk out of the store and the clerk asked if I still wanted the pipe, which was a bit ridiculous as I was NOT the one looking at the pipes in the first place, so that sort of meant that the clerk really didn’t care about under aged persons using the product, just didn’t want someone without ID in the store. Had he let my friend finish shopping, it would’ve been to his benefit as we simply went to another smoke shop to finish buying the accessories to the tune of another $ 100 or so. I do understand the importance of underage people not being in the shop but if a cop walked in, seems like the clerk could simply say that he hadn’t had a chance to check IDs yet and my friend has enough facial piercings & tattoos to be mistaken for Pinhead so it could easily be overlooked as to age. I’m obviously a grizzled old hag thus no one asks for my ID anymore.
Fantasy is wall to wall crammed full of smoke stuff, a «meh» collection of adult novelties outside of the Lelo items, lots of stoner toys like action figures of famous people (Poe, Shakespeare, some pope, etc), hula dolls and topless gals to stick on your dashboard, retro repros of signs, cards, etc, sort of like a Spencer’s without all the Linkin Park stuff. Or maybe it was there, buried under the coconut bongs and Grateful Dead roach clips, I dunno.
In conclusion, have ID when you go to pick out your «water pipe» that looks like Spongebob or a sea cucumber or an alien smoking a bowl. If you want a Lelo product *now* but don’t want to wait to have it shipped, this is also a good choice though I caution you that many of the items are sold straight out of the display case, meaning you need to wash it thoroughly before use more so than if it were in a sealed package. Unless that’s part of the thrill for you, honey.
Lots of cig brands, again not a smoker of anything other than Djarum cloves on occasion so can’t quote whether the prices are lower than Hollywood or any other surrounding shop. Not the friendliest service but at least he got his pipe.

Came here with a friend as it was in his neighborhood, we got paid and he wanted to buy something he’s been eyeing. The exterior is deceptively sleazy and creepy-​looking: the interior is actually quite clean and has fun gag «slip a quarter-​for-​your-​fortune» games and such, as well as a comprehensive selection of smoking/​sex paraphernalia. No shame in those games here. My friend who rolls his own tobacco says they sell American Spirit a bit cheaper than at Hollywood, so yay! They also have those snarky 1950s magnets. All in all not a bad place to go for «stuff» in Westheimer and in the loop.

I have shopped at this store for several years and have always been pleased. I am not sure if their sales are dropping and they can’t keep staff, but they have gotten really bad lately. Besides there NEVER being more than one person working there, the staff they do have is so nasty! I guess at a head shop you don’t have to be nice, but I can certainly shop elsewhere. I went in today to spend a few hundred dollars on a piece I have been wanting for a while and the jerk behind the counter and is probably the owner totally blew me off and spent all this time helping the idiot looking for a bowl for $ 7.99. After 20 minutes of being ignored (the clerk knew what I wanted when I came in) I decided to leave. The clerk started yelling stuff at me as I left. WOW! Can you say psycho!!! Guess maybe he hadn’t smoked today!
