Today I decided to check this place out since I had some extra time. Iris Gifts is very much a boutique store. I was immediately greeted with a smile. I told the store associate I was just looking and we left it at that. I love not being bothered, so I am completely fine after the initial greeting/offer of help until I ask for help later. They have all the cute and festive items for the seasons, adorable clothes for children, fun jewelry, amazing candles and more! I enjoy browsing stores like this when I have some free time to get ideas for later when birthdays and/or special occasions arise. In this area of town, you will find several boutique shops, but this one is very convenient and there is plenty of parking available. Some of my favorite items are the El Arroyo collection, the fun cocktail napkins and the decorative styrofoam cups. On the higher end, they sell beautiful, lovely smelling candles (one brand in particular is $115.00 - I don't know anything about the brand, so I can't give feedback on the price - maybe it lights itself - Lol), pretty costume jewelry, home decor pieces and alluring bath items that function as both decorative and useful. I was surprised to see the reviews are not higher for this shop. It's cute, it's friendly and it is full! What's not to love?!

This place is packed with earrings galore, prom costume jewelry all color coordinated. Oh my, so many sparkling jewels in my eyes. Lookin' for studs earrings if that is your thing? You'll find lots here, different little designs and such. They don't have a very large selection on hoops earrings just a row. See, I'm a hoop kind of girl. What caught my eye was that some hoops are as large as someone's whole arm.. pretty heavy weighing off a cartilage of a ear. Ya know? They have sports, crosses, breast cancer ribbons, fake turquoise necklaces, bracelets, earrings and pins. The back is packed with custom made hats & caps. Scarves, bows, rings.. so much to list. When I came in the music of choice was not all appropriate.. I guess the owner must've accidentally flipped the switch to the dirty version. It played.. and some of the lyrics were the n word.. all awkwardly and loudly blurted out the intercom. She quickly changed it after she noticed me and another woman was in there. A big Oopsies... was smeared across her face. The prices all ended in the .99, so round up. All prepackaged and some unravelled to view how it looked. The place was pretty empty around 2-3p and I was pretty shocked to find parking in the front.

And seriously, you shouldn't be paying over $20 for costume jewelry anyway. Sorry, CC. Things you buy here will tarnish and won't last forever, but you can definitely get a few dozen wears out of these pieces. Plus, they are coooonstantly updating their inventory because everything is "trendy" and seasonal. They also have a pretty large selection of sassy sunglasses, perfect for the poolside. The staff isn't my fave. Usually, they're pretty rude and almost act as if I'm bothering them if I have a question. Nonetheless, I know I can count on this place to accessories my weekend outfits, so I tolerate the shitty service.

The associates are attentive and helpful without hovering, a balance between service and allowing customers to browse comfortably. What I especially appreciate is the atmosphere. Unlike many of the Houston stores that are often crowded with demanding customers, this location maintains a calm, pleasant environment that makes shopping enjoyable. It truly feels like a hidden gem. It's also one of the few BBW stores in Houston that I haven't witnessed the constant, brazen shoplifting that has unfortunately become commonplace in retail and especially in this crime ridden city. Combined with the exceptional merchandise and thoughtfully curated inventory, the River Oaks store offers a refined shopping experience that keeps me coming back. It has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop in Houston.

So many choices! I did place my order online and their system to make your purchase is very easy. I opted to pick up my online order at the store. I was immediately greeted and directed to where I could pick up my online order. This was a simplified process. I decided to get another scent that I did not order online, as well as trade out one that I had ordered online for something I liked better. They worked with me and were so gracious in allowing me to make my trade out, and I appreciated it. There was a scent that I wanted that this location ran out of, they were kind enough to call the neighboring store for assistance (their Rice Village location) just minutes away. The Rice Village location had what I needed and then some! Something that really impressed me about the Rice Village team was how friendly and warm they were! Their customer service was on 10! Cudos to them! Over all a great experience! Of course, I will be back.

I decided to visit last week, and as I started to open the door, their resident dog was barking fiercely in front of the door. I almost left, but the owner came out and said her dog likes to greet all her customers. I'm not sure if that is good for business . Don't get me wrong .I love dogs . I have had one for over 16 years in the past.I have also been biten by 3 and don't like when they bark angrily while I am entering a business. After the dog was put in the back , I did look around for some cute items. They did have some cute towels and cute coasters with sayings . I did leave after a few minutes because wasn't sure if the owner was going to let her dog out again.Only 1 other customer entered while I was there .

Here goes the detailed version! I was looking for some classy-looking thank you cards. I went to several stationary shops nearby : Anvil Cards, The Space Montrose, H.E.B (yes not a stationary shop but they sell cards), Whole Earth (somehow I was hoping this outdoors gear shop would sell cards), Trader Joes, and even B&N. Sadly they all failed me. Don't get me wrong, these are all fantastic shops for unique and hilarious cards (especially Anvil and The Space Montrose). They just don't sell what I was looking for. So I stumbled upon this shop and my oh my they swept me off my feet! For you drivers out there, they have PLENTY parking spaces for tiny cars and SUVs! First when I walked in, I was greeted by a lovely elder lady (sadly I didn't get her name) who asked me what I was looking for and immediately went to look for them. She obviously knew what she was doing, she zoomed from one corner to another and pulled out several cards for me. Then suddenly I heard little happy taps and low and behold they have a little lap dog with a red sweater named CeCe!!! CeCe will make sure to sniff your shoes and greet you as you walk in. The best greeter in town if you ask me. I proceeded to look around on my own because I like to explore. The ladies in store were very thoughtful and knew that so they let me roam. If you are looking for high quality cards, this is the place! They have 100% cotton cards, Downton Abbey stationary sets, embossed and debossed cards, quill cards, leather notebooks, etc. Also this would be a good place to get cards for your wedding or baby showers. I heard they also do personalized Christmas cards. Now if you are hoping to get a good bang for your bucks, this will not be the place. Before this store I got a pack of 50 average-quality cards for $10 on Amazon. Here, $10 would get you 3-5 cards. But you do get what you pay for since they are very nice paper and feel amazing when you write (especially with a fountain pen). I took photos of the 2 boxes that I bought. Both are very very pretty and I'm very happy with them. Also, they take Apple Pay!!!
