“We were on a stroll through shops on The Hill, and of course the aroma brought us in. We were greeted by Bubbles, the shop dog, and then started browsing. Then we were offered a tour of how the soap is made, and the next thing I know, I’m buying several bars - my favorite so far is the lavender with the loofa inside it! Absolutely wonderful store and team working there. I’ve never met nicer people. I struggle with very dry skin and I can’t wait to see how this soap helps! It was truly the most unexpected best part of our day.”
“Sunshine Daydream is great. I ordered a vape that was hard to find that I wanted to add to my collection. I ordered it over Memorial Day weekend, and I received it that Tuesday. Great company that cares about their customers. Will definitely be ordering again. A++”
“If you love St Louis and you haven't bought something here, what are you even doing??
This shop is an absolute gem for cute & quirky St. Louis themed gifts. My go-to place when I don't know what to get someone for a gift.
The staff working here is always super welcoming, friendly and professional.
They will custom print any of their designs onto a t-shirt or a bag for you.”
“Zee Bee Market is an incredibly special place. Not only does it ethically source every beautiful handmade product they sell so that you can shop guilt-free knowing that every dollar is helping makers and creators across the globe BUT it also truly cares for its customers and community. I run a non-profit here in St. Louis and was recently fortunate enough to partner with Zee Bee through their Giving Back Days, a program where they partner with local non-profits to help help promote and fundraise. During this program, people from our organization set-up a little info table in Zee Bee and help greet customers. During my time staffing the table, I was honored to witness example after example of Zee Bee nurturing its community by putting people first - every step of the way. From where / who they buy from to how they care for their staff and each other from the phenomenal personal attention they give their customers - even going as far as to remember and acknowledge repeat customers, forming long-lasting relationships that I KNOW change lives.
The Giving Back program is so special not just because we were able to raise some much-needed funds while reaching a whole new audience. But - and maybe even more importantly - it is helping to build a support network of organizations working for and toward creating and fostering community and kindness therein. And isn't that exactly what is missing from so much of today's world?
So do yourself a favor and visit the truly AMAZING humans of Zee Bee Market. Thank you, Julio, Rita, Cheryl, and Lily for sharing your store and yourselves with the greater St. Louis area! We are certainly better for it.”
“SammySoap is truly a standout establishment pure, purposeful, and community-minded. They create meaningful jobs for people with disabilities and care deeply about the environment, which is reflected in everything they do. After a decade in Kirkwood, every visit has been a pleasure. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the store offers a wonderful selection of soaps, decorations, and unique knick-knacks. On most evenings, you can even watch the soaps being made!
While the soaps are on the pricier side, they are free of artificial ingredients and support the community a win in my book. Highly recommended!”

“Love the custard? Go to the gift shop! We stopped here twice while in the area on a trip. We did not purchase anything at first because we were short on time. A couple of days later, we placed an order online for pickup in the store. This worked great! We were able to browse souvenirs online, comparing different shirts and hoodies until we found items we loved. Our order was ready a couple of hours after it was placed, then we picked it up later in the evening. The person working at the store was kind and helpful and receiving our order was quick and easy. Highly recommend!”
“I received a seerd of happiness from a beautiful woman this evening. She enjoyed a lovely meal at the place of my work in Philadelphia, and though I made some silly blunders she and her friens were so gracious and lovely. At the end of the meal she actually gifted ME a seed of happiness and idk if she really knew how profound a gesture this was, but Thank You. I will cherish this trinket forever. It is such a reminder of the compassion and beauty between human beings. I'm rambling but truly speechless if that makes sense lol. <33333”

“The Sign of the Arrow finished a needlepoint belt for my husband - the leather work is impeccable, the cost was fair and the turn around time was incredible! And I love that I supported a charity!”
“BoxLunch is a really fun store if you’re into pop culture, anime, Disney, or fandom merchandise. They have a unique mix of clothing, accessories, and collectibles that you don’t always see in other stores. The quality of the items is usually pretty good, and everything feels a bit more curated compared to similar shops. Prices can be a little on the higher side, but they often have deals. It’s a great place to find gifts or something different for yourself.”
“I live in NC so won’t have the opportunity to go to this store, but I highly recommend buying on their website! I became obsessed with a crazy expensive Bunny Williams lampshade and this is the Only place on the internet where I could get it shipped for free (over $175 ships free) Thank you so much for offering this to customers!”

“The Junior League of St. Louis has been a welcoming community helping me reconnect after seven years away. I appreciate the ability to give back, develop as a leader and be a force for good.”
“I enjoyed this gift shop- lots of cool items, like a 3-D printed dragon, and many fancy scarves. (Out of my budget, but enjoyable to look at).
The shop feels a bit hidden, on a lower floor, near the cafe. Great selection. Check out the sale area if you’re in a budget. Many great books and gift items. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.”
“This location made sure the arrangement was just right for my Mother’s birthday delivery! Thank you so much Ilya for your personable, understanding, and kind service!
