What a gorgeous store. I drive past often and today stopped at the dentists on the same street…read more Even though I had a numb mouth after the dentist and was talking with a lisp, I just had to take a peek. The lady who owned the store was chatting away showing off new items in the clothing boutique at the back of the room. She was lovely and very approachable. I needed up buying a top and necklace for my mother in law. The fashion is really nice and aimed at ladies in their 40s+ I would say. I was into plenty of it, as they have a really nice on trend rack. The home wares are fun interior decor items inc paintings, ornaments, furniture, vases and mirrors. I have my eye on a cactus cookie jar. They were in the middle of taking down all their Christmas stuff so can't wait to see what stock they put in it's place.

Visited this store today and I am glad I did! The store…read morecaters mostly to A Rustic/Farm House look. Many items are very appealing and would look great in a variety of different rooms within a home. Not only are there Decor items, the store also carries Clothing, Jewelry, and a variety of Handbags as well. I had no idea this store existed until I looked on Yelp and realized that I drive by this store on the way to work every day. So glad I stopped in. Worth a look!

This place has all my home decorating dreams piled into one store. They have beautiful sheets,…read morebedspreads, and home decor items. Many of their sheets are imported from Italy, so expect a higher price, but also an unbelievably comfortable bed! They have just branched out into kitchen items as well and have some very high end appliances that I could see fitting perfectly on my counter top. I just have to convince the husband that we NEED beautiful (and expensive) appliances! My work might be cut out for me, but in the mean time I will be checking back often to see what is in stock and maybe even on sale.

The prices are high but they match the quality. I kind of get the same feeling in this place as I do when I walk through Ikea. Basically you want to buy everything. Things you don't need and things you know you won't ever use will suck you in. If you are looking to dress up your new home or makeover your current one this is a really good bet.

As a design maven, I can't believe I didn't know this place was here before now! Fortunately, their…read moread in Edify magazine drew me in, and I went in to investigate last weekend. The place is chock full of goodies that they get from homebuilders with show homes, home stagers, and other folk who have changed their colour schemes or whatnot. If you're in the market for wall art, pillows, objets d'art, vases, or all sorts of other doo-dads, give this place a try. It's small, but crammed full, and the selection is constantly being updated. Don't forget to look upstairs too. This place is dangerously close to my work AND my house (sort of halfway in between, so I'll be stopping in frequently for new items. The prices were really reasonable for what they had, and the manager, Sydney, was a delight to chat with. She said they've been open for about a year and a half. Too long for me not to know about them! Definitely adding this to my usual list of places to check out for gorgeous decor.

I'm really sad that the Prettiest Present is closing. Over the past 4 years I've shopped for a…read morequite a few special occasion or cheer up gifts here for family and loved ones. The store doesn't have an exact closing date but it won't be very long. Currently seasonal items are 60-70% off (some seriously cute Xmas décor and ornaments) and the remainder of the store is 20-30% off. They have really cute jewellery and unique items for special gifts. I really like their line of moon necklaces/bracelets where you pick the phase of the moon on a special date (birth, death, wedding, etc.) and can wear it as jewellery. I also like their sparkly Swarovski crystal bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Some stuff here for sure can be found elsewhere or online for less but that's not the point of a boutique store. It's getting to go somewhere and browse through various collections to find the perfect gift for someone special. If you're a fan of s'well bottles, they still have a fairly good collection of unique ones and at 20% off you're paying a fair price for the designer s'wells. (Note you can get plain jane ones at Costco for $30) but the ones here are GORGEOUS and make me smile. They're collection of wrapping papers and tissues is extensive and are sure to be able to wrap your gift to fit any occasion or theme. Seriously gonna miss the Prettiest Present!

Well I just adore this store!…read more Often you walk into gift shops, and yes, everything is lovely but you just don't really see anything practical; or everything is really expensive, or really niche. But at the Prettiest Present they really have a great variety of really useful gifts! From presents for those pooch peeps, to culinary and kitchen gadgets - as well as neat necessities. Then there are the baby gifts, the seasonal decor for your own abode, a wall of tempting teas and some really unique jewelry. And then the pies de resistance... they have the most fabulous collection of gift bags, gift boxes and paper so that when you find that perfect present you can also wrap it up without having to go to another store! Love it!! Although, I do not remember seeing ribbon or cards, I could be wrong, or maybe that's just asking for the moon. Pro Tip: Make sure to go into the basement! Often you go into a store like this and assume that down the steps is just a small smattering of a few other things. But in this case the basement is the majority of the shop. It is at least 3x larger then the upstairs portion. Happy shopping!

Lyndale Accents carries a wide variety of fun, practical, and beautiful gift ideas for the home and for children and adults. There are seasonal items, jewelry, greeting cards, and items for bath and kitchen. Most of the trinkets are small, but with large pricetags. There is a return policy with receipt (although I can't recall how many days you have), which was fortunate for me when I bought a decorative bookmark for a family member who did not care for it.

I am a minimalist when it comes to my home decor, so this store turned out completely useless for me. It was fun to browse though. There are picture frames and vases, figurines, clocks and jewellery, candles, plates and coin purses as well as hand bags and cute kid items such as books and little shoes. The selection at Lyndale Accents is indeed eclectic. It is geared to women, so ladies, make sure to shop here without a boyfriend or a husband who, chances are, will be bored and end up whining and ruining your shopping trip:) P.S. Customer service was nonexistent.

This shop curates a wide variety of stuff that's ideal for gift giving. It's hard not to go overboard ordering just one more cute thing. I really like their needlework kits, greeting cards, and home decor items. Prices are not bargain basement so be warned that a shopping spree can add up fast! Still, shopping local has its own rewards and I am glad that this quirky little place has earned such a large following that it's still standing after all the economic challenges of the pandemic and beyond. Hard to explain, but the inventory just has an Edmonton feel to it -- check it out and see if you agree!

That's right, a wall of patches, my friend and I were debating buying a giant cat patch for a denim jacket. They are so cool. I want them all. The greetings cards are funny, shocking and perfect for any pal with a sense of humour. They sell light boxes, neon signs and trinket holders in weird shapes. What's not to love. Every single thing in this store is so damn cute, including the owner. She was funny, had great conversation and told us lots about the makers and various store items. Can't wait to go back and buy all the things!

Parking is along the ave or street and fairly easy to find that far down 124st. Also for those mobility limited, there are few steps into the shop.

And also, a magnificent place for buying wedding gifts, birthday presents and hostess offerings. Happy shopping all!

I was greeted by Wonder Woman (it was Halloween) and she was very friendly and helpful. She let me browse the store without pressure (which I really appreciate because some stores can put a lot of pressure on you to purchase). Other than Christmas decorations, Jilly's a bit of everything! There is clothing in the back (it's very expensive though - so expensive I almost choked on my gum). They also have numerous home decor items, candles, bath and soap products, they have a lot of stuff. The sale section towards the back of the store drew me in immediately (it had purses). I really liked Jilly's. I will be going back to shop soon!

This place is seriously jam packed! I took pictures, and when I looked at them after, I saw things in the picture I didn't notice in the store! You can, and probably should, spend at least an hour here! I was in there for about 20 minutes which is seriously a long time for me. I can browse a store and be out in 5 minutes. But this place was like a candy store for me :) My favourite sections in the store were the Farmhouse Fresh skin care line (get the Whoopie Cream lotion), the gurgle pots, and the Volcano candles. Oh! And the scarves! Such a huge selection of scarves here! So many great spring patterns and colours. This boutique has something for every budget. You can pick up gifts from $20 and up. What a great place to come for hostess gifts! And in addition, the girl working at the shop was super friendly and I could tell she loved working there. For real, I think this is as good as it gets for a local boutique in SW Edmonton. 5 stars all around! *Applause*
