While it's not exactly a 'general store' in the 19th century sense of the word, this Larchmont Village favorite comes pretty close.

The General Store has in fact divided into three separate shops in recent years, all still run by the same family:

Those in search of needles and thread, art supplies, picture frames, or office supplies need look no further than the original Landis General Store. The shop also carries plenty of toys, including stuffed animals and one of the best collections of sticker books around.

Next door, Landis at Home is the place to find greeting cards, gift wrap, and home accessories and gifts.

The well-established stationery side of the business has moved two doors down to Landis Gifts & Stationery. Here one finds a wonderful selection of stationery, photograph albums, and bound notebooks, along with an unbelievable selection of pens and writing implements. It's a good spot to find gifts for all kinds of people from teachers to grandparents.

The store also helps design, and then print, beautiful party invitations and birth or wedding announcements. Envelopes can be addressed by off-site calligraphers, who can also paint flowers on envelopes or award certificates.

Mommy Shots Photography offers family, pregnancy, and infant portraits by photographer Megan Sachs.

Husband and wife team Cat and Adi Benner of Next Exit Photography capture relaxed lifestyle portraits in natural light at clients' homes, the beach, parks, or at the photographers' outdoor studio.

Custom framing, designer albums, announcements, and holiday cards are also available.

The inviting studio at Scribble Press is a place where families can create all sorts of gratifying creative projects. Kids can write and illustrate their own books; parents can turn artwork into gift items or keepsakes, and anyone can feel like an author.

Stocked with high quality art supplies and all the tools young artists need, Scribble Press offers visitors a selection of book templates to work from (with themes ranging from first day of school to Father's Day to vacation memoirs) as well as attractively laid out blank pages to create a custom work of fiction (or non-fiction) of one's own choosing. By the end of a session the book is printed in either hardcover or paperback, complete with photo of the author on the back. Books start at $22.

We loved sitting down for a leisurely session of turning imagination into a storybook that could be read that very night. The staff are very supportive, and kids are treated like true artists.

Another appealing option is bringing artwork from home (or the back seat of the car, or the desk at school) and having it all scanned and bound into an elegant coffee table book that lasts a whole lot longer than construction paper and glitter glue. These books start st $50; second copies cost less.

Other gift items include custom made greeting cards, note pads with the artist's work printed on every sheet, and do-it-yourself books for home authoring projects.

Birthday parties accommodate up to 20 guests and include a guide to lead the activities, invitations, thank you notes, and a group author photo on every book. Party packages start at $500.

The sizes and shapes are really useful as well - shoe dot, anyone?
