Shopping in Overland Park

Like a box of strictly red-balloon-shaped Lucky Charms marshmallows, Gennaio sifts through all the seasonal selections, carefully curating key pieces. Here, shoppers can rack through looks from highly covetable labels (William Rast, Big Star) along with smaller, up-and-coming collections. Peruse designer denim by brands including Miss Me ($88 and up), MEK Denim ($101 and up), and Silver ($75 and up). Tops, tanks, and halters start at $29, and dresses at $35. Gennaio Boutique also carries affordable accessories, starting at $10 for bracelets and ear adornments.

Will Wyatt's contains more western duds and décor than a novelty ghost town, a train-robber's headquarters, and the set of Back to the Future III combined. Ladies and gentlemen alike will find something to suit their wardrobes, whether it's a Buffalo Bill wood purse ($195) or a Stetson "Australian in Buffalo" hat ($130). Home décor is available in skeins of leather and cowhide. Pick up a multi-taper deer-antler candleholder for illuminating tables or terrifying neighborhood cats. A handmade, heart-shaped bottle cork ($64) from Jan Barboglio brings character to a decanter and makes a great gift for lonely hearts, friends who wear their heart on their sleeve, or actual hearts that need something to fill exposed valves.

Offering a wide variety of designer denim and apparel, Standard can outfit even the most style-starved caterpillar in eye-catching apparel that transforms him or her into a vibrant, skinny-jeaned butterfly. Brand-name denim is available from True Religion, Rich and Skinny, Ksubi, and Simon Miller, among others. Women don shape-complementing Alexander Wang, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Vena Cava duds that turn heads and improve WiFi reception. Men peruse selections from Steven Alan, J. Lindeberg, and Nice Collective. Try men and women's wear from Splendid ($45–$100), tees from James Perse ($40–$60), and denim and tops from Joie ($58–$108).

Each month, more than 20 foraging foes of dull furniture display a suburban spelunker's dream of antiques, furniture, and one-off treasures in the historic Meyer Building's welcoming lower level. Whatever style beckons your home or garden, the infrequency of Urban Mining's sales means a fresh rotation of affordable wares arrives each and every month. Browse through enough tablecloths and doilies to outfit a championship tea bash, or check out fashionable vintage mirrors (starting at $25) to reflect a black-and-white version of your formerly Technicolor dream coat. The furniture runs the gamut from striking window frames and lamps (both starting at around $15) to wood and metal chairs (starting at $20) and retro barware ($15 and up). Every fabric, collectible, and piece of dragon-fired pottery comes after intense searches by Urban Mining's collection of hunter-gatherer vendors, who comb the earth on ungainly camels for orphaned and belittled jewels, restoring them and distributing them to appreciative homes.

Roy G. Biv-ify your printer with black or color ink for assorted printers, such as a lovely shade of magenta for a Brother DCP 130 ($13), some cyan for a Canon photo printer ($10.94), or a little black cartridge for an HP DeskJet ($26.45). Or put it toward a black toner cartridge for an HP LaserJet ($111), a Dell 1100 ($63), and much more. Stop by any location to redeem your Groupon.

Founded by Ken Euston in 1971, Euston Hardware's old-fashioned legacy continues under the helm of Ken's son. Kevin, who has since grown the shops into three locations, keeps the shelves packed with more than 65,000 items for homes, landscaping, and automobiles. Experts chat with customers to help them to tackle projects from changing a car's oil to painting their house solid green so it can be replaced with a CGI castle. Home-improvement tools, which include items for the kitchen and bath, keep domiciles functioning at their best. The friendly staff can also guide green thumbs to lawn and garden supplies or help them select the right locks and outdoor equipment to keep their tools from escaping and impersonating the local robocop.
