“Love this store! It's the perfect go-to shop to find unique and fun gifts or pieces to keep.? It's enjoyable taking my time to ensure I see everything. A definite not to miss spot!”
“This has become, by far, my favorite bird/nature shop. They have such an interesting collection of birding supplies, rocks, fossils, and all kinds of other cool nature related stuff. The staff are always extremely friendly, helpful, and just seem to be having such a great time. I can't recommend this place enough!”
“Like to browse to see what’s new from local artists—for myself, daughters or gift for friends. Nice selection of all kinds of things. And also Maryland themed things to! Nice jewelry selection—bought a beautiful polished pewter cuff bracelet from Salisbury Inc!!!”
“As I picked up my precious purple satin velour bag containing my runes, I believe it came from Terra Christa. So I searched and found you! When I closed my own store, Ten Thousand Joys, in 2010 and moved to Iowa, I regrettably have not been back to visit since. I adore Terra Christa!! And received the most celestial Reiki session I ever had from Ruth. I do hope all is well there and with all involved, friends, family, staff.”
“Love this shop! It’s a great place to shop year-round, but they are just perfection for holiday gifts. They have a mix of Christmas, Hanukkah, and general holiday goods as well as great regular gifts for birthdays, teacher gifts, etc. the ladies working here are so good at helping me find meaningful gifts for everyone on my list. I get so burnt out during holiday shopping sometimes and they are so helpful in finding something special. Just a relaxing, welcoming environment to shop in.”
“Tracy Dubin and the Annsandra team take the stress out of gifting! Whether it's a wedding, housewarming, hostess gift or just a little something for myself, she always finds the ideal present. Her team handles everything, including gorgeous wrapping, so I don't have to lift a finger. It's like having a personal gifting fairy!”
“I bought a gift for my mom. It’s a stork on a mug. Nicely done and well made. The associate put it in a box and wrapped it with a pretty ribbon and tied a bow on it. I am so happy with the gift. The price is reasonable, and the gift is valuable. I would compare back.”
“An absolute gem! The owner is bright and has a big heart for helping and promoting women! The fabrics, designs and colors are awe inspiring! I wish I lived here, I'd come more often!”
“Great store for anime lovers and people who like cute Asian culture . Some people would say it is a weeb store but it is derogatory. They do have great stuff from dragon ball z , Naruto, and it is well organized and i liked how the some of shelves were made out of plumbing pipes.”
“Cute little small gift shop located in the heart of Rockville town center. I enjoyed my time there. It has a lovely assortment of jewelry, ceramics, books and more. I got a lovely small bowl to contain rings. Recommend the place.”

“I haven't been to Maryland, but I heard the owner of the grocery store Pink Dot in Los Angeles went viral for saying something inappropriate. Those one-star reviews are likely aimed at them! Pink Dot Styles does seem like a cute store—I will definitely stop by if I'm ever in town!”

The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
If you are looking for a unique or special gift for someone, check out The Blue House, where you are sure to find something that will be appreciated and treasured.

“I went to A Mano for help designing my wedding invitations and I'm so glad I did! Adam is absolutely incredible and has the best taste. He has so much experience to share from wedding etiquette and monogramming to home design. His attention to detail is amazing and he goes completely above and beyond to make things personal. I can’t recommend A Mano & Adam enough!”
“Enjoyed my visit to the charming Pear Tree Cottage. The owner is such an enthusiastic and engaging woman. I've driven past the store for many years and finally made the time to visit after seeing such a delightful holiday decorated storefront. Highly recommend this store.”
“I'm from out of state and wish we had this store in my city. Unfortunately, I was getting on a plane so I couldn't buy much bc I didn't have room for my carry-on.... I was taking pictures of everything! I was telling friends that this is the type of store that you would stop by on the way to an event, and it would be guaranteed you find the perfect gift.”

“I think my 6 year old said it best, "wow! This is like an art museum! Oh every room gets better!" Urban farmhouse is a treasure. I come here (and upstairs to Covet) any time I want to find a unique and thoughtful gift. I adore the urban farmhouse vibe, I think I've gotten everything from greeting cards to unique vases to guacamole dishes to bottle openers to tea mugs. I'm delighted every time by the curated selection and friendly service. Shop local and this lovely spot!!”
“The staff and owner of this sweet shop went ABOVE AND BEYOND to embroider something last minute for Christmas. The staff and owner are lovely. They make their own candles (not a scented candle person, usually too stinky) but theirs are perfectly balanced and natural - and are made by women who are in need (I bought two). Lovely linens, robes, jewelry, etc. I will be recommending this sweet shop to all my friends.”
“I love this shop, partly for nostalgic reasons, as I have been going there since a child. Nicely curated selection of gifts, cards, candles, soaps, beautiful napkins and wrapping… If you are a Portmeiron fan like my mum, you will find your fill here. Prices are reasonable and staff is kind.”
“Independent, woman-owned Judaica store for all your Jewish needs. She's got a great selection and even what she doesn't have in the store she can probably get for you -- she's been in the business for upwards of half a century. Most importantly, she was super patient, friendly, and helpful.”
“I purchased an arrangement today for 4th of July same day delivery and everything was perfectly fine I thought it wasn’t able to do it since is a holiday but they work really fast and also they are kind/professional. I called over the phone to see if it was delivered and asked to change some things about my order and Mr.Mark helped me out to make that happen!. If you have a bad experience in the past at this store ;is fine. Nothing in life is perfect some people don’t work as good as others and we still respect them.Just give them a try ( applies to me too) I had some issues here in the past but they have some new good staff at this location now! Place your order soon it works perfectly if you don’t have time to shop? fresh fruits are always good!! At any season of the year!”
“I had a good experience with this location. After I placed an order I learned that someone was allergic to certain fruits. I called and Rosie answered and swapped out the fruit with other delicious items. The tray arrived on time and the fruit and cheesecakes were delicious.”

“I had flowers and balloons delivered today to my grandma nursing home she turned 91 today, and they exceeded my expectations, I asked for a photo as proof of delivery and they sent me a picture with my love holding the flowers. I’m so appreciative. Not only did you make her day but you made mine. Thank you a million time over ❤️?”
“We had a last minute order for a senior citizen group of Arlington Virginia. They planned a picnic event. I called Edible at N. Quincy street and explained that I wanted to make it special for the seniors and if they could assist me with creating an arrangement for me to pick up. The lady that took the order was so friendly and nice she said yes I can pick it up. The arrangement was beautiful ? ? ?”

“I come here for every birthday gift I need to buy. It never fails as a one stop shop. The inventory is perfectly curated, the staff is so pleasant and helpful and the prices are right in line. I love that the merchandise is bagged pretty with ribbon so I don’t need to wrap the gifts! 10/10”
