The Design Studio
We approach interior design the same way we approach our shop: with a deep reverence for history, texture, and objects that tell a story. Let us help you find yours.
NOVELTY + GAMES
Novelty gifts are one of the things we do best at High St., and this is where the fun lives.
Our Novelty + Games collection brings together puzzles, playing cards, building kits, and the kind of unexpected finds that get picked up, turned over, and talked about.
Some of them are clever, some a little cheeky, and all of them chosen to spark curiosity. You’ll find brain teasers like our wooden Sudoku game sitting next to Dad Jokes Cards, Palm Reading Cards, and a build-your-own robotic arm kit. It’s the shelf people gravitate toward when they want a gift with a little personality.
Shopping for a game-night host, a hard-to-buy-for friend, or someone who gets a kick out of the unexpected? Start here. Everything is stocked in our Over-the-Rhine store in Cincinnati and ships nationwide.

FAQ
Games and Novelty: FAQs
We don't do FAQ pages with scripted corporate answers. If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
What are good novelty gifts?
The best novelty gifts are the ones that get a reaction. At High St., that means games, puzzles, playing cards, and small oddities you would not think to buy for yourself. Crowd favorites include our wooden Sudoku game, Dad Jokes Cards, and the wooden robotic arm kit, all chosen to start a conversation the moment they’re unwrapped.
What are good novelty gifts for men?
For men, we lean toward gifts that are equal parts useful and playful. Dad Jokes Cards, Palm Reading Cards, the wooden Sudoku game, and the build-your-own robotic arm kit all land well, and each one works as a standalone present or paired with another small find.
What board games or puzzles do you carry?
Our range runs from quick card games to slower, hands-on puzzles. You’ll find wooden Sudoku, Lenticular Cats and other playing cards, and cross-stitch kits for people who like a longer project. The selection rotates as new pieces arrive, so it’s worth checking back before a birthday or game night. For one-of-a-kind oddities, our Curiosities collection is worth a look, too.
Are these good stocking stuffers?
Yes. Most pieces here are small, affordable, and easy to wrap, which makes them ideal stocking stuffers and novelty Christmas gifts. Card decks, mini cross-stitch kits, and pocket-sized games are the ones that disappear fastest in December.
