People may not send alot of letters anymore, and evites may be gaining speed, but when it comes to…read morespecial occasions, I always go traditional. I love to pick out colorful and playful invitations for my daughters' birthday parties, and Menage has a great selection. The designs are so creative and whimsical, and the bright colors are paired perfectly together. Menage also carries paper napkins, plates, and other party supplies so it's a one-stop shop for party planning. You'll also find cute, original gifts here from lines including Time Will Tell (watches), cute toys from Geared for Imagination, scented candles and more.

I have to admit that Menage just might be my favorite of all the stationary shops in Memphis …read more I've visited a few (RSVP, Mrs. Post) and I feel like Menage has the best selection for my personal tastes. 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.

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 a bargain and like to shop area consignment sales each season. Kids Town is hands down my…read morefavorite one. I like it because of the selection, the organization, the ease of getting in and out with what you need and they offer it early in the season each year. This year's sale is July 29-31. It is held at the Agricenter and there are various times each day. They offer lots of shop early opportunities and at these types of sales the early bird definitely gets the worm. You can shop early if you consign, volunteer or even bring snacks for the volunteers. I like to get special/boutique type of clothes at this sale. I find the best selection for my youngest son and usually get a few toys too. If you are a new or first time mom, this is the sale to hit. You will find lots of quality baby clothes (lots with tags still on them) and baby gear. I like to consign here because it is so easy. You can enter your items in a spreadsheet get the bar-codes and tag them. They also offer 70% of the selling price to the seller.
