Bootsy’s Funrock’n

I was passing by and one the workers outside drew me in! The staff is super nice. I bought my kids two tee shirts as souvenirs. They use an heated press with iron on transfer decals. The designs have held up after a few washes so I can’t complain. It’s a little cluttered inside with the amount of merchandise. Even the book of tee shirt designs had too much to choose from. It was overwhelming since I’m so indecisive! Overall, these stars go towards the customer service.

Always friendly staff.
Always affordable gag gifts, seasonal goods and leg wear.
A great place fake poop, bacon bandaids or Mardi Gras feather boas. Highly reccomend for all your hilarious gifting needs.

Absolutely terrible experience. Charging $ 30 per print on a $ 30 shirt and then giving me iron on transfers?! Shitty quality and no apologies.

Located just off the intersection of Eighth St and Magazine St is this wonderfuly kooky store that is really quite difficult to describe in a few words but to attempt to sum it up in just three: crazy, variety, gifts!
As soon as you enter, you see how jam packed the store is of different items. Shelves line the walls, different items hanging from the roof and many set up shelving around the store. It really does require a fair bit of time to properly navigate the entire store to ensure you don’t miss anything.
There are some costume related items for sale. For example, we saw a big bin of assorted animals masks ranging from goats to pigs. for what ever Old McDonald theme party you may be invited to. Also, there are a wide range of TV/​movie/​music related merchandise available also! We found some mugs and lunch boxes with the members of The Beatles strewn across the front of them along with some Dr Who merchandise for the fans of that show. There is so much more though!
The only downside I had at this store was the overly observant staff who seemed to feel the need to trail my steps through out the store. I understand theft may be a big issue there but it was very off putting to be followed through out the entire store.
Bootsy’s Funrock’n is highly recommended to those who like collectables or are in need of a gag gift for their friend. Very cool store!

I ordered a custom tshirt from Rhonda here and she more than delivered. I am so pumped about my shirt. It may have been a St Patricks Day shirt but I can’t help but wear it all the time, especially on important occasions like first dates or graduations or baptisms; it just sets the right tone. They helped me as soon as I walked in and my tshirt was made quickly. I also love that they have a Doctor Who section. It sets my nerd flame afire.

Bootsy’s Funrock’n is such a fun store! I absolutely love it! You can find all types of neat things in here from jokes, to cute, to sexy! I find this to be an awesome location to buy gifts, especially if you are looking to give out something funny, specific and retro or just to get a t-​shirt made.
This is my go to location to get a t-​shirt made. There is a huge catalog of items you can get pressed on t-​shirt, even with one book dedicated strictly to the Saints, so you will definitely be able to find something that you want. This location is pretty reasonable for t-​shirts and has a great range of sizes for all your needs.
I also love that this store carries retro lunchboxes, So many just cute finds in this location.
It’s in a good location on Magazine close to other stores and dining opportunities to make a day of things. Keep in mind parking can be a little hectic with mainly meter parking and side street parking which can get real filled up quickly.

I’m not really sure how I don’t have a review of this store; I think Unilocal likes to keep me on my toes by gobbling up some reviews.
This store is chockablock full of novelty items. They do custom t-​shirts; have gift items for whatever is the hip tv show of the moment… or classic show that people love (Dr. Who or I Love Lucy or Family Guy, etc, etc, etc).
Things I bought last week, a handsaw for cutting cakes, cat key caps, a batgirl keychain, novelty ice tray.
The staff can vary from out of it, to superhelpful, to hating life, so that’s always a fun spin of the wheel. I will say the staff has always been really nice to my older Mom who asks way too many questions when she shops here.

SO since the last time I went in there, they’ve moved the clothing side across the street next to the nail salon and this store is strictly dedicated to the gag gifts, some costume apparel and the tshirt screening. This gives the store a lot more space and a better flow. It may seem like there is less stuff, but everything is just less cramped.

What a fun little shop! We were on Magazine St recently and stopped in to check this place out mainly because my husband was drawn in by the display windows chock full of toys. He’s a big kid at heart!
There’s something for everyone here and caters to all ages! Lots of collectible toys, games and odds and ends. Great place to find that unique gift for the hard to shop for person in your life.
My husband scored a Dexter bobble head and was in hog heaven! It’s his favorite show. And I was surprised to see that the price was under $ 20!
I also noticed they have a big display wall of tee shirts but didn’t get a chance to check out. There was a crowd around so probably worth checking in next time I am I am in town.
The store can get rather packed. Oh and they have signs all over discouraging photos from being taken. So refrain from pulling our your IPhone to take photos.
This store is worth checking out if you’re in the area and its great to support a local small business.

Cute stuff but nothing you can’t find elsewhere on the street or in the city or even another city. To boot, they have a no photos in the store policy and they are bitches about it. So out we went to not return. No loss to us but they lost our sale.

Funrock’n has an almost endless selection of costume accessories and random collectibles. Think ninja shaped cookie cutters, temporary tattoo mustaches, sock monkey hats, disco ball earrings, super hero lunch boxes, and much much much more. Most stuff is reasonably priced. The sign hanging outside at one point, «100s of great gifts under $ 20», is definitely true.
I stopped in the week before St. Patrick’s Day because I wanted a green t-​shirt. I could have gotten a green t-​shirt with just about any screen print I ever could have dreamed of on it. Funrock’n has hundreds of iron-​on designs ready to be made for you within minutes. You are able to choose your shirt style, color, and size and have your selected design printed within a couple of minutes. Most t-​shirts are around $ 22.
Funrock’n has permission to make Defend New Orleans t-​shirts!
This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a quirky gift, costume accessories, or a New Orleans themed t-​shirt.

I live down the street from funrock’n, but hadn’t actually stepped in until the day before mardi gras. I was looking for some last minute additions to my costume. the store was crowded, as to be expected during mardi gras. let me just say– THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING. I was in shock. The folks working were so busy, but they were so helpful, so sweet, and so fun. I immediately walked out of the store and told me friend, «I will forever frequent this business because of how kind those ladies were.» they even addressed us by our first names once we gave them out credit cards to swipe. Seriously y’all, so many store workers are jerks during mardi gas, and these gals were all smiles. i am sold. i will return.

The first thing they did was make us check our shopping bag. My giant purse was ok, but my stuffed-​to-​the-​gills plastic bag was somehow high risk for stealing… that made me want to leave immediately. They have good costume accessories and random collectables. Go when it’s slow or else you wont be able to get to anything on the shelves.

Fun store to browse through… a little difficult with kids… but do-able…especially since there is alot of KISS stuff for them to look at.
Fav find? Arrow thru the head-​band.
Lots of great iron-​on transfers. SO glad they’re moving away from American Apparel tee shirts… Love this location much better than the one in the quarter.

This store is AWESOME! Have you ever gotten one of those gift catalogs in the mail full of little odds and ends and stuff you really don’t need, but you really want? Well, Funrock’n has that stuff and more.
When you first walk in, don’t be overwhelmed by the huge selection of goods. There is so much stuff to look over, it will take you a while to absorb everything. They have a huge selection of «retro inspired» items, such as Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe lunchboxes, magnets coffee mugs, playing cards and other assorted gifts. They also have cute little gift like hand held noise machines, and at Christmas I was tempted to get the stocking that was in the shape of the «major award» from «A Christmas Story» (they also had the night lite!).
Another thing I love about this place is the assortment of quirky greeting cards and magnets with nifty little sayings on them.
This is definitely a fantastic place to check out, if you are looking for a gift for someone in your life who is maybe a little quirky, fun, and has a sense of humor.

I’d been pining after one of their NOLA heart iron-​on t-​shirts for weeks when I finally bought one last week. When I got home, I realized the iron-​on transfer had all sorts of small black hairs and fibers stuck in it. So I brought it back (with the receipt) and asked for another one. The woman working said that it was caused by «probably just some stuff stuck on the transfer» and that it doesn’t usually happen, but that they «don’t make new ones unless you notice in the store before you leave.» Um… what kind of business practice is that?

This place is like an instant party! You can find anything and everything you could ever want here. Genuinely something for everyone. In addition to a ‘sleeps well with others’ button, I found an adorable dress to wear on a nice evening out, I also found an ‘I’m not a stalker’ magnetic bumper sticker, AND fingerless skeleton gloves to replace the ones I lost a few bar crawls ago! They have luchadora masks, lunch pails with super heros from back in the day, and mustaches. I can say from experience this Mardi Gras season that bringing a 12 pack of mustaches to a party will make friends!!! I cannot wait to return to buy unique gifts for all my friends bdays! I bought the cutest feather earrings for a friend, then I returned this weekend to get myself a pair!
Also, the owner is an absolute doll! While she rang us up she thanked us for supporting local businesses and I just thought it was the icing on the cake to be sincerely told someone appreciates your business!
If you are on the hunt for a unique gift w/​a sense of humor for any occassion, I could not reccommend a better place.

This is an awesome, awesome shop. They have some of each kind of kitsch imaginable, and an excellent collection of iron-​on-​while-​you-​wait atypical New Orleans T-​shirts.
