Modern Mouse

Somewhere between growing up and taking on adult responsibilities, finding the time to just sit and create got tough. We want the creative break, but sometimes those massive, intricate adult coloring books can feel more daunting than relaxing when you only have a few minutes to spare.

That is exactly why we are SO excited to welcome A Brighter Year to Modern Mouse! 🌟

These clever, crafty mini coloring books are designed specifically for busy adults (but totally loved by kids, too!). They give you the perfect 3-to-5-minute daily escape to unwind, reset, and actually finish a page. No pressure, just pure creative satisfaction. Makes for perfect gift, or grab a couple of your friends and have a coloring picnic!

Grab a favorite pen, pencil, or crayon, and come pick out your favorite mini book at the shop today! 🌿🖍️

Visit us Tuesday - Sunday, 12-6pm at 2223 South Shore Center, Alameda, CA 94501 or online at modernmousegifts.com!

Look who’s back at the Mouse! 🐭✨

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back the incredibly talented SF-based artist, Amy Rose Moore Illustration ()! It has been way too long since we’ve had her beautiful work on our shelves, and we couldn't be happier to have her magical creatures gracing the shop once again. 💖

Amy works pure magic into her art using a stunning mix of water-based media, including watercolor, gouache, ink, and acrylics, to create these wonderfully quirky, fun, and whimsical designs. From party-hat-wearing opossums and raccoons to magical tressym (winged cats) and crows, her birthday cards are a total joy to behold! 🎉🧙‍♀️

To see the full collection currently in stock, and find the perfect birthday card for those you love, stop in to Modern Mouse, open Tuesday-Sunday, 12-6pm at 2223 South Shore Center in Alameda, CA!
