When you think of a quaint boutique, you probably don't picture a 49-year-old dude perusing the…read morecarefully curated tables and shelves. I don't exactly seem like their target audience and ideal customer. But, oh, how you would be wrong! Yes, when I find myself in a cute boutique, I'm usually the only guy to be seen (unless you count those hapless husbands who were dragged there just so his wife could "pop in and see and what they have") But fellas, listen up! Boutiques are your secret weapon. They do all the heavy lifting for you and instead of looking through a million stores to find that one perfect gift, go to the one store that has a million (well, almost) perfect gifts. When you find yourself asking: "Where can I find a great gift?" Let me introduce you to the boutique! Sometimes you can enter a store like this and have no idea what you are looking for and simply be inspired by the numerous gift ideas. On this particular day, I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, but alas, I couldn't find what I had in my head. No worries! Therein lies the power of the well-curated boutique. I quickly found a wonderful gift that may have even been a better fit than my initial idea. And it didn't stop there! I found other cute gifts to accompany my primary gift. Redefined Hope Boutique is a special place. Unlike any other boutique I've visited, Redefined Hope has a mission. This boutique supports the Hope Center, which is a local ministry on the front lines of fighting human trafficking. Do you need a better reason to visit? I'll be honest, I've been in and around "church world" for several decades, and when I usually see coffee shops or bookstores or other storefronts attached to churches, the can be a little less quality. It can be tough running a successful business with primarily volunteers. But Redefined Hope is simply a wonderful boutique standing eye to eye with any specialty shop, and I'd say they are even nicer than most I've visited. Redefined Hope is a beautiful shop with quality goods placed thoughtfully on tables and shelves around the store. You are sure to find the perfect gift (or gifts!) for that special someone. I know I did. From clothing to jewelry to books to travel mugs to plants, you won't be disappointed in the selection. They also have a coffee shop in-house, and all of the staff is so helpful. One of the coolest things they had on this St. Valentine's Day was a "Bloom Box" (I think that is what they called it). It was several bins filled with gorgeous wildflowers and you could hand-select the flowers of your choice. They also had a table with butcher paper, twine, shears and tape so you could wrap your bouquet with thoughtfulness and love. I had so much fun picking wildflowers and accompanying greenery to craft the perfect bouquet. I highly encourage you to pop-in to the Redefined Hope Boutique and see what they are about, learn about the Hope Center and have fun browsing their well-curated selection of beautiful wares. I look forward to going back when I'm looking for that next perfect gift for a very special person.

First off, this place is awesome. The people, the shop, the various items in the shop, the…read moreorganization itself...it's just a great place. I typically only come in during the holidays because they have such unique items that are not available anywhere else. I tend to find some kind of special item for my daughter's December birthday. I especially love the cute bags they use for your purchase. I decided to get a latte today and sit and enjoy the little space they have ... bonus points for not having a room full of people using their space for office work or it looking like the coffee shop we tried yesterday. Very nice ambiance and the sunlight makes that room so warm and cozy. A nice array of books to just look through. I enjoyed it very much! Maria made my latte, she was very sweet. I even was able to try the graham cracker ice cream which was delicious! Definitely going back for that! I purchased a couple little trinkets, and looked at all the different items. Such a lovely little shop. Please consider supporting this amazing shop. A little bit about the place itself is in the pictures.
