Last day for Jim and Sam! Headed in to say goodbye and grab a couple of items left. Such amazing people to have visited throughout the years, in Nulu and St Matthews. Enjoy retirement! read more

For some reason, I have never noticed or been in this store before. I guess I always thought the action was at Red Tree, Mahonia, and Six Sisters. I'm glad I finally came! A friend was down here with me from out of town and she wanted to go in so we did! Wow! This place is huge! They've got stuff you can give as gifts to people. Soaps, clothes, bags, children's stuff, jewelry, home decor, kitchen stuff, etc. Love it so much! I didn't purchase anything but would love to next time. read more

This is my all-time favorite store! Not only do they have the most incredible gifts in jewelry, but the best customer service ever. When I die, and go to heaven, I hope heaven is just like Scout, but with some cats there, too! read more

What a gem! I can't believe I missed this place the first few times I came through Nulu. This place is so well curated, I wanted to bring a little bit of everything home with me. If you're looking for presents for that hard-to-shop-for person, Scout is absolutely worth the visit. The prices range from affordable to out-of-this-world, so regardless of your budget, you're likely to find something good. Came here during the Nulu Jingle Fest and it was packed. The staff handled everything so wonderfully- and with smiles on their faces, nonetheless. They wrapped everything up so nicely too! Shopping here was truly a pleasant experience. read more

Holy moly...this store is so cool!!! I was lucky to finally get a chance to check out Scout during Nulu Fest, and it is such a treat to get to browse through all of their goodies. I have to admit, I am not really sure what this store is *supposed* to be. Is it home decor? Gift shop? Art gallery? Well, it's kind of a little bit of everything, which is awesome. I would probably come here primarily to get some cool gifts for family/friends. They have some hilarious knick knacks, but also some pretty interesting art/decor items as well. For sure a place worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Scout is one of those gems tucked into NuLu -- so many fun items to look at and some that are actually affordable enough to bring home. Let's go from the front of the store to the back, shall we? Scout's front windows typically warrant a moment or two of observation. From perfectly styled room scenes to more avant-garde designs -- such as the current one that has book pages covering the wall -- I often wish I could take all of the furniture in these small spaces home with me. And then to the main store area. Scout sells what looks like quality-made furniture. I say "quality-made" because I can't afford any of it, so I can't speak from experience. But a girl can dream! Scout also has jewelry, which ranges in prices. I have left with some of these in bags under my arms. It also has scarves, purses, clutches and other home decor items. And then the back room. This is where you can find a deal. Scout puts a lot of its for-sale items in this room, along with some kitschy fun finds, like cardboard animal heads and ironic salt and pepper shakers. The store also carries humorous cards for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I dream about the front room and window displays; I chuckle and buy from the back room. In both rooms, I'm happy. read more

Wow, what a collection of unique, fun, light-hearted, and functional items! This store is a mash-up of art gallery and gift shop located in the NuLu neighborhood. I loved everything about the beautiful space and eclectic offerings. It is seldom that my husband enjoys strolling through a shop, but this one drew him in hook, line and sinker; he even purchased some very sexy-smelling men's soap! My favorite items were the unique kitchen items and the unusual, light-hearted books! I'm sure I'll be returning, especially when searching for Christmas and other gift items! read more

ALL THE PRETTY THINGS!!! All the *expensive* pretty things. But I loved every thing I saw here today. And I will be back when I save up some of my hard earned moneys! read more

I'm pretty sure my home decor dreams came true when I walked into this store. Carefully curated and wonderful selection. Staff was super friendly. Gifts, books, and unique finds. Can't wait to come back. read more

I wish I lived in this store. Or at least could buy everything in it. It's an awesome mix of a quirky gag gift store and elegant design store. Prices were very reasonable (5 bucks for any poster!), staff were very friendly, and it was a place where you could hang out and peruse without feeling pressured to buy something every moment. When in the NuLu area, be sure to stop in here and covet every item. read more

My favorite boutique in Louisville, hands down, is Scout. They always have high -quality items and always have a pulse on the trends. My favorite handbag and clutch are from this place (which I also spotted in a Chicago boutique on Michigan Ave). The jewelry is gorgeous with a lot of Walter Randolph pieces. The earrings are some of my favorites and I have a nice variety of those. They have nice kitchen items, household accessories and throw pillows. The Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furniture is also incredible. If that's not enough, they have fun books and funny greeting cards you can get for your friends. Oh, and the scarfs, and the gloves, and scented candles! I could go on and on and on. What are you waiting for? Go explore Scout. You won't be sorry (well, your wallet will, but it's worth it!) read more

This place is great. I always find myself wanting to venture here for a cute gift for friends and family because of the variety they have. You can really ascertain the taste that the owners have by just looking at the different gifts/novelties that are sold here. It's obviously got class but someone definitely has a good sense of humor at the same time. The quirky, often times naughty, cards are a go to for me. There is anything from journals and books to kitchenware and household items. The furniture and household items, though, are gorgeous and modern. I sometimes will pop in without a plan to even buy anything but leave with something. The place is not safe for my bank account. read more

I love this place! They have the best customer service and the coolest items! I really enjoy shopping here!

Can't get enough of all the interesting, funny, gorgeous items that are for sale here. Its not a huge place so how is it that I end up spending hours here? The jewelry is all unique, fun, and utterly yummy. I bought my hubby (a triathlete) the greatest frame made out of a bicycle chain. Silly and naughty gifts for friends. Japanese themed stuffed for my teen who loves Japan/Japanimation. An awesome bag that says "For candy from strangers" How cute is that? read more

Can't believe I've not reviewed Scout before--I love it so much and go every few weeks to see what's new. This has to be the best place in Louisville to buy a gift. They have accessories, jewelry, lighthearted books, cheeky greeting cards, small and large decor, a children's gift section, and furniture. I also have treated myself many times at Scout, ha! A couple handbags, a clutch, earrings, serving pieces...Scout is just a beautiful store to explore. The owner and staff are friendly and conversational without ever being pushy. Scout offers complimentary gift wrap on all their items and they always wrap thing beautifully in their signature colors, a soft blue and red. My photos attached to this review (Nov. 2017) are from the NuLu holiday event earlier this month. The store is just fantastically styled for the holidays. Scout does a great job of riding a line between kitschy and modern. I know they're getting new merch in all the time--we'll definitely go again before Christmas. read more

I have never failed to come into Scout looking for a nice gift for someone else and not leave with something nice for me. I'm not sorry. I'm fancy and I like fancy stuff. If you have a hard-to-shop-for person in your life you'll find something for them here. It's a wee bit pricy but she gave birth to you so I don't know why you're being stingy. They had socks and links I liked so you should definitely remember my birthday and find yourself at Sout. They also have a great selection of coloring books and cards. This is also a great place to buy the ornery or clever person in your life a gift. There were so many cards there that I had a hard time limiting my selection. read more

Fun shop with some men's clothing items, quirky books, women's jewelry, home furnishings, cards, knick-knacks. It's just a smattering of this and a sprinkling of that--great for a weekend browse and a fine addition to the boutique scene. Support the little locals when you can. This is one of 'em. read more

There's always something new & wonderful to see (and fawn over) at Scout! From handmade jewelry to quirky home decor, these folks carefully select phenomenal items. I love their aesthetic. They've assembled the best of everything from handmade jewelry and sophisticated handbags to gorgeous pillows and hilarious cards. I routinely stop by when out socializing in NuLu even if it's just to window shop. I Follow them on social media where I can find out about sales and special events. I also never miss their after Christmas sale! Scout is one of those unique and endearing, local shops that I return to time and again because it's that charming. I feel good supporting small businesses and leave with the perfect gift (for myself or others) each visit. read more

It is an oversight on my part that I have not reviewed Scout. I visit the store regularly since it is a few blocks from home in my NuLu neighborhood. The quality and selection at Scout is truly exceptional. The store changes almost weekly with very creative and beautiful window displays that beckon you to come inside. The staff is very friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy their work. You will find an impressive selection of very fine jewelry. I love their selection of earrings. They are high quality and I always get lots of complements when I wear them. The store stocks beautiful furniture and decor items and lots of very unique gift items. When I have guests I make sure we stop at Scout. They always find treasures to take home. If you are looking for a gift for someone special you will likely find many choices at Scout. read more

I love this store! It is so beautiful inside and the products are curated with detail, you can tell! The book selection was impressive and we enjoyed browsing through the selection while we were there. The staff was also wonderful. Made recommendations and were very kind! read more

Scout - Beautiful, lovely store! - Home Decor Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

My husband and I visited Louisville a few weeks ago. We found Scout and decided to go in because my husband wanted to buy me a gift from each of the states we were visiting. The second we walked in, we fell in love with this shop. I've never been to a shop where I loved every single thing I saw. All the cute dishes, jewelry, the wall art... everything was perfect! My husband bought me a little bunny ring dish and a gift for my dad which the gentlemen who were behind the counter very kindly offered to gift wrap. (They were super nice btw and talked with us for a few mins.) We will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

Scout is one of my favorite local businesses. It's beautifully neat and the choices in merchandise is plentiful, unique and always higher end quality. Wonderful place to buy gifts for your loved ones! Lots of options from books to home decor to handbags. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Word Association Time: Question: What do you think of when you hear the word "SCOUT"? Possible Answers: A. "Boo Radley's friend." This means that you are like my sister. You have excellent taste in literature. B. "Boy Scout." This means that you are like my brother. You have excellent taste in khaki knee socks. C. "To Seek," "To Find," or "To Search." This means that you are like the owners of SCOUT. You have excellent taste in retail. Here are some of the goodies that they've scouted out for you and me: Gorgeous, locally made jewelry * Yummy smelling candles * Raunchy, hilarious greeting cards * Too cool for school hipster onesies * An art meets function coat rack * Vintage-y purses * A punk rock espresso cup set * SO MUCH MORE. read more

Wonderfully curated shop. Excellent place to hit up for Christmas gifts for friends with a modicum of taste. Staff very friendly. Wide variety of stuff at different price points. Lots of cool books too. Visiting Louisville on biz travel. Favorite gift store I visited in the area. read more

Hands down, my favorite store in the ville! I don't even really know where to start? The coffee stain greeting cards, the lovely men who own the store, the home decor items, the jewelery and accessories? I literally love it all! You can find the most unique gifts here, but with a great sense of style and class. The greeting cards in the back room can keep you entertained for hours, literally hours. And they are funny every time you read them. The jewelery is gorgeous, the handbags are top notch and the other accessories are adorable. The furniture is so well made and beautiful. While I have never bought a piece of furniture there, I know they do free delivery and even bring polish to make sure your furniture is looking the best that it can be. The owners will even come and hang a picture you bought in their store just so it looks exactly right. Talk about customer service! When you have great products, great people and a great location...you cannot go wrong. read more

Very interesting store. Lots of different items that I haven't seen elsewhere. Started Christmas shopping a little early and we were able to buy a few things for people who are very hard to shop for. I'm so glad we made the trip downtown. Clothing, soaps, geodes, book, furniture, bags, etc. read more

Good friends get friends birthday gifts. Great friends get friends personal birthday gifts. Best friends get friends birthday gifts from Scout. I say this from personal experience. I've been given presents from here and every time it is just perfect. Unique. A touch funky. And downright lovely. And I have yet to go seeking a present for someone and not come out beaming at how excited I am to give them my findings. And of course sometimes that smile is partially for whatever I just had to get for myself. That part is dangerous. The guys that own it are so, so nice and friendly and wrap up your gifts like they were giving them to their own mother. I love the atmosphere in here. Gorgeous jewelry. Hilarious, outrageously inappropriate cards. Awesome house stuff. I would like to just move the whole show room into my house. For that matter, if they had wine every night I might just never leave. read more

I love Scout! Year after year, I find fabulous gifts for my friends & family (& myself from time to time ). Hands down my favorite store in Louisville, Kentucky to find interesting, unique, & reasonably priced gifts, jewelry, & decor! They even have adorable toys, puzzles, & books for my niece & nephew! They are always helpful & customer driven to boot! New location is conveniently positioned right next to Bread Works in Chenoweth Plaza so parking is never an issue. Simply cannot say enough good things about Scout! A must in Louisville!! read more

Super duper cute and eclectic: candles, bow ties, decorative pillows, soap, jewelry, children's books and activities, seasonal decor, the list goes on. My fave? Their selection of kitchen decor, ranging from cheese boards and coasters to ceramic dishes and glasses. Many different styles and prints that really heightened my desire to revamp our kitchen! Haha Staff is friendly, and their policy is clear - exchange and store credit only, no returns. Enjoy! read more

This a great place for buying gifts. I never have any problem finding something for my wife!

I love this store! The new St. Matthews location is super convenient. The jewelry is my favorite thing and everyone in the store is always so kind and helpful! By far, my favorite gift shop in Louisville! read more

Such a cute shop. It houses a little bit of everything and I felt myself wanting a little bit of everything. I did swoop up some adorable diamond-like studs for only $15. Sometimes it is tough to shop local with prices being a tad above my financial comfort zone, so it's nice to be able to find something well within my reach. Woohoo for local luxuries! ;) read more

A very nice, upscale boutique / showroom for Scout on Market, The furnishings are well selected and range in the $350-$2500 area. Lamps, chairs, and a nice selection of quirky smaller items. I love what they've done with the outdoor storage area (converted rail storage cars are used to create a storage fortress for the business). The proprietors are friendly but give you room to browse without feeling self conscious. read more

Perfect customer service. They said a 1:00 delivery, and they pulled up at 1:00! The owners have great taste and I am so happy with my new table! read more

While out and about doing my shop local Saturday, I decided to SCOUT out (har har har, see what I did there...yeah) this shop. While some items were out of my price range, the things they had were very nice. I like the more decorative and kitschy stuff than the purses and clothing stuff. There were small felted animals as if they were mounted, books and knick-knacks. All in all a great place to check out read more

I believe this is the same place as Scout House. I was at this store back in November and bought some things for Christmas. Great shop and full of great things for the home and gifts. Just spoke with Jim and bought more things to be sent for the holidays. A must stop shop for every occasion. read more
