This is just a fun store to browse. Even though it's for the tourists, there were plenty of locals. And it's true--if they don't have it, you don't need it. I even bought myself a clerical collar there!

People, this place is so highly overrated! Our Frommer's guide writes about this store as if it's a place not to miss-well, it looked like it was trying to sell a bunch of junk. Granted, the array of items (washcloths to peppermint sticks, Elvis candles to 2000 Millennium souvenirs) was staggering (less impressive, more bewildering), but there was nothing there that I'd want to buy-everything was novelty, low quality and not even worth buying as a joke. I don't mean to slag this store, since it's such a Memphis institution, but I'd rather shop at my local 99-cent store any day! At least there the items are organized and recognizable.
