When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.

The associates are always very pleasant and helpful. They're great at making suggestions for items you could buy. They have a lot of stuff that have to do with St. Louis as well as a lot of other gifts from your kitchen to garden to Christmas ornaments and just about anything. Prices are about average, but if you are on their mailing list, they do send you out coupons occasionally.

They had some curated kitchen items that would be perfect for gift giving, other odds and ends, and some really wonderful perfumes from Oliver Fragrance Co. They had their bougie sticks and the full size bottles! I bought one of the bougie sticks (Sunset 57) which smells divine and the scent actually lasts throughout the day. Best of all, I purchased the bougie stick for $24 and the manufacturer's website have them for $22 which isn't a ridiculous price difference and I didn't have to wait or pay for shipping. They also carry B**chstix which is a brand that supports survivors of domestic abuse and is a cruelty-free product. I bought one for the friend I was meeting for dinner. The store carries many other items such as some fashion jewelry, curated baby items (clothes, books, etc), hair ties, scented candles and so much more! I am definitely going to stop by here another time since it's on my way home from work and it seems like the perfect place to find some wonderful gifts. The lady at the counter was friendly and super nice. She greeted me when I first came in and left me alone to browse. They had some sales as well. If you haven't checked this place out, you should! You never know what you'll find.

Ten pictures are far too few to showcase this shop's beautifully curated collection, but these are a handful of our favorites. My husband and I were especially drawn to the honey, tea, fruit spreads, seasonings, and kitchenware; we are foodies after all. Bundle up to support Urban Matter this week, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse. There's a lot to shop!

I will definitely be coming back here for future gifting needs and it's great to be able to support many local companies in one place.

I was on my way to the place next door when I realized the White Rabbit was right there. Bonus! Shopped around, they had some cute things. I love flour sack towels and found one with flowers that was pretty. And kept going back to fancy glasses in blue so I decided to get those, too. Prices were reasonable and I spent the gift card plus some. I was really uncomfortable about the personal conversation the staff was having after my husband and I were the only customers in the shop. Not anything horrible but just not a convo for when customers are around.

As their website says, "The White Rabbit - A Vintage Chic Boutique"…read more What a great boutique to find unique and original gifts. When you enter the store you know you have found a #shoplocal #shopsmall store that will help you finish your holiday shopping. I found so many amazing gifts for those hard to buy for cousins. There were vintage items, that took me back to our childhood memories and I cannot wait for them to open their gifts and have the same flashbacks as I did shopping. I got a chuckle out of the candy jar for well behaved children. It's a shame they don't have one for well behaved adults as well. Would I come back? Yes, when I need a unique gift that you can't find anywhere else. When: December 11, 2016 Why: Gift Shopping #shoplocal
