I'm living temporarily in Jersey city and needed to get some birthday gifts for two very different…read morepeople. I stopped in here and found so many good finds for both of them and price range was decent for both a "nicer" gift and some stocking stuffer type gifts. From candles, candy, socks, self-care goodies, mini treasures, jewelry, clothes... there's definitely something for everyone. The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

PERFECT GIFTS for Every Need! I literally cannot with how…read moreamazing this store is and how awesome their staff is! I had to quickly grab a housewarming gift for a first visit to a dear friends new house (while my grumbly husband waiting in the car). I knew the perfectly curated store ALWAYS has an impressive array of custom scented candles on their back wall (replete in an artful gift box with box of matches = PERFECT!) So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ... Thank You Kanibal & Co.! #Lifesavers

I'm a shopping addict. There, I said it. Now that we've gotten that out of the way…read more.. TIA'S PLACE IS UNREAL! I'll admit, I was nervous to leave NYC's shopping scene behind when I made the move to JC. I was considering living in Hoboken for a while, and Washington St has a ton of really great boutiques. Jersey City? Not so much. There are bars and restaurants as far as the eye can see, but when a gal needs some new clothes a new tapas joint popping up every week just aint gunna cut it. Tia's place is everything that it needs to be. Price points are very reasonable, think similar to Forever 21 or H&M. The clothing selection is stylish and trendy, and if I buy a shirt that goes out of style next season but I get a few good wears out of it I won't feel that bad. They are all stocked up for summer and there was a bountiful selection of maxi dresses and light and flowy chiffon tops when I was in the other day. Tons of cute costume jewelry and tote bags as well. I was hoping that they would have jean shorts but to my dismay there were none. I didn't have my wallet on me but I'll be in again ASAP to buy some cute summer staples.

Necklaces are hanging on tree stands, lingerie is draped on pink chaises, and it just feels like a huge 2 story closet filled with Tory Burch, Rampage, Max and Cleo, Hale Bob, and lots of other designers.

Lots of people walk thru this store to enter the mall. They have apparel, accessories, cosmetics, shoes, home goods, toys and so much more. Prices are similar to other Macy's and the website. Throughout the year they have promotional sales and discounts on different products. I have found good deals on men's shirt and for my daughter's clothing. Plenty of associates are available in each department to assist customers.

It's a cute little place, especially good for accessories and gift items, and there is a good range of prices. I felt comfortable browsing without pressure, even though I was the only shopper for the first little while I was in there. I got a great tote bag on sale, and a really cute birthday card for a friend that was so perfect, I bought it almost a year in advance. Definitely check it out!

I live dozens of miles from the nearest store and even in another state. Returning by mail is almost impossible. They charge 15% restocking fee plus you are responsible for postage.

Luckily this Nordstrom Rack is close to the train station so it is very convenient to commute here…read more Came here to find a sterling silver bracelet or necklace by Argento and there were a few sterling silver left. I must admit Nordstrom organizes their jewelry well. All the boxes were neatly displayed on their shelves. Just the bad thing is the top shelf is very high and you need assistance or a ladder to look at them so that sucks. This is one of the most organized stores ever with all the accessories lined up and stored in an orderly fashion. There are rarely any loose accessories or misplaced product in the store. Made the shopping vibe feel a lot better. It is also very clean and carpet is nice to walk on without any dirt or loose garbage. By the checkout, there are aisles of mini and travel size lotions and facial cleansers from Kiehl's and Clinique that are almost winding down so they are that popular! I thought the cashiers were kind of slow because there were 3 of them working on the customers when there were so many cashier registers available for employees to go to. I wish they open more registers so the long line can go faster.

I have even left here and then realized that she was suppose to close 30 minutes prior. Still, I never knew because all she did was help me find something I was over the moon happy with. On top of the amazing customer service, the little shop is so cute and chock full of great finds. They have every kind of bra, lingerie, candles, stockings, even some clothes. Yes, it can be a bit more expensive than the more typical VS, but the quality is far better and the customer service is unmatched. You'll absolutely walk out with the best piece for you. I'll be going back soon for sure!

Thanks in part to the candles that are for sale. Honestly. My all time favorite candles are sold at this boutique. The array of lingerie is a dream. They also have beautiful clothing. One of my favorite, luxurious sweaters was purchased here. This is the most sexy, romantic store your guy could ever give you a gift from. Feel free to give yourself a lovely piece from the store. Honestly when I would receive gifts from Galatea the smell from the store would fill the air as I unwrapped my present. It has been some time since I have had a pleasure to visit. I am thinking of making a special trip to the area just for this reason. I am giving this place 5 stars only because 6 was not available. Galatea I adore you, your atmosphere, your aroma, your lovely sales people, the owner, your beautiful lingerie and clothing. Oh how I miss you. PROS: A beautiful selection of lingerie and clothing. Items are well made. The store is very inviting. The staff at Galatea are sweet, warm and genuine. They have the best candles ever. The price range is so that everyone can afford something. Anything that you purchase will be well worth it! The owner has a great eye for style, hence, the reason the selection is terrific. Some basic lines carried are Casabella, Only Hearts, Hanky Panky, 3Dots, Ling and sooo much more!!! When you walk into this you will appreciate how beautiful it is to be a woman! When you leave you will want to come back.
