If I've learned anything from years spent reading Cute Overload, it's that tiny things are almost…read moreguaranteed to be more adorable than their normal sized counterparts. My new favorite Memphis gift shop is no exception. Nest manages to cram a well-organized and thoughtful stock of housewares, gifts, baby items, jewelry and dishes into their tiny Germantown space. The building, which looks more like a wee cabin than a storefront is only 12 feet by 16 feet. Inside, though, gift items (many of them appropriately tiny) are arranged floor to ceiling. Be sure to look down - some very cool things are hiding on low shelves. What I liked most about Nest is that because of the space's size, everything in the shop seems like it was stocked with intention - there's aren't any items that don't belong. I loved the tiny spoons, vintage silverware bundles, shabby chic textiles and selection of cute necklaces (that range in price from crazy reasonable to fairly high end). And despite it's size, Nest is the sort of place that would probably have a gift for even the pickiest people. Next time I need something for my mom or a hard-to-buy-for lady friend, this is where I'm going. A word of warning before you head to Nest: it's really hard to find on Google Maps alone. The easiest way to get there is to head east on Poplar (towards Germantown). Turn right into The Market at Poplar Estates - it sort of looks like a garden center. Keep going once you turn in, and Nest will be on your left.

One thing I truly missed after leaving Starkville, MS was all the wonderful boutiques. Sure, you…read morecan get cheaper things at department stores, but there is something about visiting a boutique, being waited on with a smile and getting something only a few people have. No worries, Memphians. I have found a jewelry boutique I love! A friend of mine took me to a small boutique in Laurelwood shopping center called Turkoyz. While I had my hesitations, mainly because I thought it might be overpriced and even more because turquoise is not spelled with a "y" or "z" (I'm a big proponent of correct spelling), I went with her anyways. She went on and on about how much jewelry they had and what great prices there were. And, yes, she was right! The store is filled with all types of jewelry, scarves, purses, wallets, home decor and more. I bought over half of my Christmas gifts in there, and I keep buying! They have great pieces, and it's one of my favorite places to shop. Consider buying your next piece of jewelry or gift for a friend there. You will love what they have! Warning: Men, this is not a place for you to browse and find things that interest you. However, I guarantee a woman in your life would love for you to take her there.

I adore this place. When shopping for a birthday or even Christmas gifts for people in my life, I…read moretry to find items at little boutiques or smaller stores because the items will be more unique than getting them somewhere like Target or a larger department store (not that I don't do that occasionally too). They have home items, scarves, ALL kinds of jewelry, purses, and so much more! They have the neatest stuff around Christmas and holidays. I guarantee you'll find something - whether it's for yourself or a friend. One of my favorite things about this place is the build your own necklace or bracelet table they have. You pick out your chain (silver or gold) and then add the charms. They have initials, different colored charms, sorority charms, etc. These make perfect gifts for any woman or girl in your life! I wished I had discovered this place before I got married - perfect bridesmaid gifts. :) Turkoyz is conveniently located in the Laurelwood Shopping Center off Poplar and they have the friendliest staff. They also just opened a Turkoyz at Home store in the shopping center as well. It has all home items.

I love the candles here, and love even more the children's section. They have some really adorable children's books and matching stuffed animals. I will be heading back here to pick up both for a little 4 y/o gal I know who will simply fall in love with them. They have a huge selection of cards, letter head type stationary, journals and paper. The journals are really a site to see. They look old and tattered on the edges and are leather bound. Very Harry Potter! Now if I could only find a quill pen and an oil lamp to accompany these journals I'd be set.
