Came to Gus Mayer for the Margarita Sale yesterday! Free maragitas and shopping? Yes, please! One…read moreof their bigger sales of the year! They had some fun games and were giving out prizes like gift cards at the door. The woman running the cornhole game has a future in cruise ships. Gus Mayer is one of those legacy Birmingham stores that you make your lovely Grandmother take you to to shop at. They have all the nice brands and an excellent black tie gown section if you need something unique and spectacular. My favorite thing to look at here is always the shoes, expect to spend at least $200 on a pair of shoes. But, they're shoes you can't find anywhere else in town. **A note for this year (2025): they had a pair of shoes I wanted that were from Italy, and upon messaging the brand directly, I do believe I avoided some hefty tariff fees by buying the shoes IRL here. Food for thought. I don't often shop in person at all anymore (I'm a major e-bay fanatic), but being able to go in and try on different sizes is incredibly nice. I ended up getting a pair of jeans and shoes in a different size than what I would have ordered online. They have dresses anywhere from $100-$2k, with all the brands like Zimmerman, Staud, etc. They have Mother jeans and my all time fav jeans brand, Mousy -- which were 50% off yesterday!! The "doorbusters" they advertised online were not the bread and butter of what you come here for. Come to peruse. Shoes and handbags are what I recommend. I see the other reviews commenting on the friendliness of the staff... I get it. My thoughts: these are the women of Mountain Brook here to secure their employee discount. Don't hate the player... The also have fine jewelry, makeup, and fragrances. If you need a fancy gift, definitely check them out.

Rude, unhelpful sales associates. My mother and I stood and stood at the fine jewelry counter and…read morecould not get any assistance, AT ALL!!! Same for the shoe department that had the most hideous shoe selection that I have ever seen. A total waste of retail space, but that seems to be the common denominator at The Summit anymore.

Bonus - they don't shrink when you wash them. I took advantage of their 50% off Memorial Day sale. The staff was underwhelming, but they could have been exhausted from the crowd. Every customer isn't a good one. My only positive staff experience was my cashier. I'll honestly most likely just stick to ordering from the app. It has better deals anyway.

I really like this one!…read more The layout is arranged nicely but with not as many booths as some of the other stores of it's same kind. I prefer the smaller scale because it's easier to navigate and way less overwhelming! The inventory consists of a number of unique , new and used items. I didn't buy anything but my sister made a purchase. She likes this store as well and finds their pricing to be fair. This is a very clean store with a large parking lot. The staff is really nice and very hand ons with customers. If you are in or near the Childersburg area , I recommend stopping in to Sweet Pickins'!

Although there are not a ton of things I would get here for myself, I have visited Monograms Plus…read moreon numerous occasions. The staff has always been extremely helpful, friendly, and willing to help a husband out with some very efficient gift wrapping. I mostly have only come here for very specific items, I'm sure you can browse the store for some pretty good gift ideas. From hostess gifts to stocking stuffers to really impressive personalized items, they usually have some the popular things that make good gifts. I have never had anything personalized here. But they have a good selection of items that can be monogramed and engraved. I am always envious of the Yeti items they have displayed while I am in here. For me personally, I have probably bought their candle items more than anything. My wife loves Tyler candles and they are one of the few places that carry that in Birmingham. But they have a few different brands of other high quality candles. Not cheap, but well worth the money on most we have tried. And most recently, we found our baby books here in anticipation of our new arrivals soon. Good store. Good people. If you haven't stopped in to check it out, definitely worth the visit.

I popped in to get a few of the Tyler Candle Company car air fresheners as stocking stuffers for the women in my life. These are always a hit, and only $2.75 each! Wrapsody is perfectly nestled into the Homewood shopping district. If you can't find parking on the street in front, there is a bigger lot behind. I always applaud gift shops with fragrance items that don't smell so strong that you can't sample sniff individual items. Love Wrapsody!
