As a Nana to two wonderful grandsons--a 1 1/2-year-old and a sweet 8-week-old--I am always…read moresearching for high-quality, super comfortable baby clothing. This boutique has exceeded all my expectations with its innovative, solution-oriented products and outstanding customer service. One of my favorite finds is their adjustable magnetic closure onesie. I have bought nearly every pattern in newborn to toddler sizes. These sweet jammies grow with your little one, extending the life of the outfit. The foldover cuffs on both hands and feet extend its usability and ensure comfort and it is nice to have the option to fold over at nighttime. The magnetic closures make diaper changes quick and silent--an absolute lifesaver during the middle of the night as my daughter has stated numerous times now! Plus, the fabric (modal) is silky soft, breathable, and perfect for sensitive skin. My daughter and son-in-law literally dress the boys in these for daytime and nighttime now because they love them so much. Another recent purchase that was a hit is the Widgeon Polartec fleece coat, which I believe is a must have outerwear piece for infants and toddlers. I wish we had these when my kids were little. The flap-over-flap design with a hook-and-loop closure makes dressing and undressing frustration-free, while the double-layered soft fleece fabric keeps them warm and cozy. It's stylish, functional, easy to put on without a fuss from the boys, and has the hood attached with easy gathering to keep it around their face. The boys do not fuss at all when we put these on them and it is so easy and fast! What makes this boutique truly special is its dedication to exceptional customer service. They genuinely care about their customers' needs, making every shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. The owner and her staff are so helpful and fun to shop with! They are going above and beyond to include classes for parents and on-going support. As a Nana, it brings me so much joy to find clothing that my grandsons love and that makes life easier for their parents. If you're looking for thoughtful, well-designed baby apparel that combines style, functionality, and sustainability, this boutique is the place to visit in Downtown Lee's Summit. I love being the Nana who brings home the best--and most-loved--clothing for my grandsons! Highly recommend!

Not many better places than the museum store @ NAMA. I've been to the NAMA several times, but somehow I've never noticed this awesome gift shop tucked under a stairwell. I'm kicking myself for not going here whenever I needed a gift. I know what you're thinking...a museum gift shop? 4 stars? Seriously? LAME. I generally agree that gift shops blow. They're usually for stranded or overly excited museum tourists to blow money they shouldn't be spending. Many times these places are even tacky. I'd argue the NAMA museum store is very light on the tacky nonsense. Most of the stuff I saw there I'd like to own or found interesting. There is a overwhelming selection of awesome art history texts here. LIke WOW amount. Multiple books solely about peeps like Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, David Smith, et al. If the shop was a wee bit larger I could see myself spending days here just browsing through all the fascinating art history books. Unfortunately, the size of the area doesn't lend to extensive browsing. Any & every "rock star" artists of the last thousand years is represented. Seriously impressive collection. There is also an extensive stationary & cards department as you enter. What struck me most about the gift selection is the amount of unique--almost quirky stuff. My sister has a salt and pepper shaker that i always wondered where she got it and sure enough here it is for sale at NAMA's Museum Store. The Museum Store is the type of place you'd go if you appreciate paying a little extra to shop inside a building designed by Steven Holl. It's a place to find gifts, books, & stationary with a touch of muted eccentricity. Not your everyday store with not your everyday items...

The Nelson-Atkins Museum, Rozzelle Court and The Museum Store for me is like getting a really big…read morehug of joy and happiness. It's the best trifecta in town. For me, I grew up in a very blue collar, factory, warehouse part of town. Going to the Nelson as a kid was life changing for me. It showed me that there was a different kind of life out of what I was surrounded by. Not that one is better than the other, just an expansion of possibilities. So I do realize that I have a heart string attachment to this place, but with perspective, I still feel all three aspects of this museum are exceptional and should be explored by all. The Museum Store (gift shop) is very well done. It's perfect for unique gifts, local gifts and not-as-readily seen mass produced retail items. They have an outstanding book selection with focus on art, artist, architecture and design. They also have a strong and unique card/ stationary area. Gifts for all ages and all people are easily found here. It's a great store to find a unique and personable gift at, all within the amazingly gorgeous walls of the Bloch building. Maybe that one gift you buy here will change the life of some young person you know too. If that's not a reason to shop here than I don't know what to tell you.

If you are looking for quality toys that are NOT electronic, you need to visit this retailer…read more I found them quite by accident. Our local library branch has a phenomenal play area in the children's section with wonderful wooden toys that keep children of all ages engaged. I've watched so many children play with these toys - and they sure did hold up well. My granddaughter's favorite was the doll house, so I went on a quest to locate a wooden doll house for her that was like the one at the library. After visiting multiple local stores and searching online, I came up empty-handed. I finally corralled one of the librarians on our next trip to the library. "Where did you get these wonderful toys?" And she told me: Constructive Playthings. After months of searching, I finally found the exact doll house I was looking for. Constructive Playthings also carries a wide variety of manipulatives, art supplies, blocks, dramatic play, science and music toys. The price was right for the doll house, but when ordering from this site (https://constructiveplaythings.com/), you do have to pay shipping (which can get kind of expensive, especially with heavy items). So worth it, though, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Ordering was easy; tracking and shipping details were regularly provided and my order arrived exactly when it was supposed to. High quality, too -- no particle board or cheap shortcuts. So impressed! I would gladly order from Constructive Playthings again. I encourage any parent or grandparent that is looking for educational - NON-TECH - toys for their little ones to also give them a look. You'd be amazed not only at the quality of these toys, but also at the hours of fun and discovery that your children will enjoy.

When I first walked in, I noticed a variety of cute women's clothing. As I went further back in the store, I thought there was a nice variety of gifts and it was very well organized. They have everything from Kansas City t-shirts, jewelry, children's clothing, trinkets, greeting cards, and more. As I was exploring, the owner (?) of the shop made it a point to chat with me and make me feel welcome. He spoke with me briefly but left me alone after that, which I appreciated because I get irritated if shop workers try to talk to me the entire time or hover. I ended up making it a point to buy something here because of the pleasant experience I had while shopping. From their website, I learned that their mission is to: "create new streams of income for people living in poverty and for Christian ministry and missionary efforts through global trade of products." They did have a lot of handmade items and things from different parts of the world. I highly recommend this shop if looking for a gift, especially if you're not sure what you're looking for!
