This is a beautiful, family-owned business in the Maplewood Mall. The owner is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and friendly. This business carries a big selection of jewelry, with stones that are both lab grown and naturally mined, from engagement rings to watches and everything in between. There's something at every price point, so no matter what your budget, you will find something you like!

The people working at this store (not all of them, but they know who they are) have been extremely…read moresnooty towards me more than once. And I do mean 1st class snobs! I have spent a significant amount of money in this store over the years and must say I will be shopping elsewhere in the future. (very significant purchases) There is way too much competition out there to have to put up with being treated the way they have treated me. I have given them the benefit of the doubt more than once thinking maybe they are having a bad day or something....but that is not the case. They are not the only game in town for my shopping....let alone the internet! One would think they would appreciate a customer who walks in the door to shop instead of shopping on the web.

I stumbled upon this boutique through their website. They carry an extensive amount of brands…read more Their staff was friendly and helpful. I ended up purchasing several Harvey's seatbelt items. I received them promptly and was very satisfied with my order. If i'm ever in town I would definitely visit their shop.

Good Things is a gem and always a must-stop for me when I'm bopping around White Bear Lake! Every…read moretime I pop in, I find something new--whether it's cookbooks, cards, puzzles, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothing....you name it. The selection here feels endless in the best way. Allow yourself some time because the store is pretty big. I especially love coming here when I need a gift or something Minnesota-based as they always have unique, MN-feeling items that hit the mark. It's the kind of boutique where you can happily wander and browse for A WHILE. I haven't had much interaction with staff beyond checkout, and I've noticed they don't typically come out onto the floor--at least not during my last couple of Thursday visits during Marketfest. That said, checkout has always been smooth. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good browse through a thoughtfully selected mix of finds! Also, highly suggest joining the rewards program and checking out the clearance section while you're here... there could be some great deals tucked away!

We stopped in to the Good Things store while visiting White Bear Lake on Monday morning. This is an…read moreamazing store! I would definitely call this a "must see" boutique. There are 3 parts to this store and you owe it to yourself to experience them all! I started in the style area, which is the clothing part of the store. This is an upscale women's apparel store, with habitat, Liverpool, Johnny Was, and many other upscale brands. All of it is beautifully curated and displayed. You will have fun browsing the racks. The sales associates were super helpful and knew exactly how to interact with people--making customers feel welcome, but not pressured to buy. Downstairs, there is an amazing sales area. Don't miss this gem! Bargains galore and beautiful things! I'm sure it changes regularly. Then stop at the cafe and have a coffee, pastry, or freshly baked cookie. All the treats look and smell delicious. The staff was very sweet and service was prompt. After that, continue shopping at the Good Things gift shop. This is a top notch gift shop the likes of which I rarely see. It is brimming with themed displays for almost every interest or occasion. If you can't find a gift here, you may never find it! Seriously. You can wander in this shop for an entire morning and still not see everything. I hope you stop by Good Things. It's a fabulous shop. Locally owned. Go there for your next gift.

An absolute gem of a store. I happened to stumble upon this place on accident, which is about the…read moreonly way you'll find it since it's not on Google or Apple Maps yet. It's an all kids clothing boutique and everything is incredibly unique and adorable. The owner is really friendly, great with kids (I had my 4 year old) and welcoming. The best part is the clothes are very reasonably priced. I will 100% be shopping here again.

Ulta? Null-ta…read more Looking for that old fashioned hair net? the sponge rollers? that special cream your mom swears by? Ulta may be the place for you. I just don't understand this place. If I want top-of-the-line cosmetics, Sephora has way more selection and is way more fun to browse, plus it doesn't feel like you'll run into Grandma at any moment. If I want bargain hair products, Target's the place, and any regular salon for higher end hair care (today's trip was for a shampoo listed in Real Simple for $15. Ulta's price: $17). For a haircut, I'd just feel more comfortable at a place that specializes in hairstyling, not a place with 3 chairs tucked in back next to the Jessica Simpson hair extensions ($99). I guess their prices explain how they manage their massive square footage, except I still don't understand who shops here...other than Grandma.

The very first dress we looked at, my daughter fell in love with and we purchased. The owners, Dee & Kris, are a mother/daughter team who have had this business for over 30 years and just love it. There is a huge selection of new and used gowns and I highly recommend going here FIRST for your prom or bridal needs. They are wonderful to work with, have lay-away plans and will do what they can to get you into the dress of your dreams!!
