This time we left with some Christmas gifts. Last time my wife left with a pair of cherry red Blundstone boots, which are extremely comfortable and a lot of fun. If you like the European sporting/Minnesota chic look that is in right now you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to peruse and snag some hot new styles and accessories.

Stopped the two boutiques almost adjacent to one another and personally preferred Cherie's. The…read morespace was open and spread out, no so crowded and able to clearly walk around and see items around the boutique. There were clothes and accessories to look at. The young lady at the counter was pleasant and checked on the price of a chain necklace for me that was on a shelf towards the back of the boutique. It was marked at $32. I thought it was a little high, but the neighborhood is also a factor, so understood. There were a nice array of accessories, which I am a fan of. Lots of nice purses, Dooney & Burke, and necklaces and earrings. Fortunately for myself, there were clip-ons as well. I was almost tempted to purchase a pair of yellow square earrings for $12, since I love larger earrings, but did not. I did manage to grab a business card. I was advised that if I check social media new finds may be posted. I will definitely be checking out their finds.

This is a fun place to stop into and dig around for some really great, stylish finds. Some of the…read moreprices are upscale, generally for designer name goods. But, you can still find some brands like Express and Banana Republic at reasonable prices. It can be hit or miss here sometimes as it does appear that much of the clientele is middle-aged. But, I have managed to find cute dresses for clubbing as well as work appropriate pieces here without spending an ungodly amount of money.

"Ace is the place with the helpful (menswear) folks."…read more Jokes about the neighborhood hardware chain aside, Ace General Store is a wonderful escape that's one part curated mens store and one part home furnishings cottage. Tucked away from the busy Water Street shopping area in downtown Excelsior, Ace carries a fantastic assortment of mens tees, sweatshirts, hats, jewelry, bags and grooming gear. I wish they had a location in Minneapolis proper (the vibe is perfect for the North Loop), but it's worth the drive. This will quickly become my go-to spot for mens gifts because they literally have everything you need to curate a unique gift set: Cool cards? Check. Unique candles? Yep. Affordably priced jewelry and grooming kits? Check and check. On a recent trip in I picked up a great gold bracelet, a locally-made wood storage crate for my dog's toys and a Huckberry tabletop fire pit, all for under $200 total. The bracelet is a great addition to my formal wear, while the fire pit is a nice fit for my small patio (clean burning using Isopropyl alcohol). The storage crate is short and durable, perfect for my dog to easily identify the toys he wants to play with. Service at Ace is excellent - All staff are super knowledgable of the products and will often tell you the artist or brand they're sourced from. I can't recommend them enough. Next time you're in need of a gift for the guy in your life, skip Target and head for Ace General Store!
