“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.”
“Unique women-centric items. Just fun one-of-a-kind retail therapy. Attended a Yelp! event here, but I'll be back. Also, location in City Foundry and West County Center.”
“Style House is the go-to for local merch that resonates with actual locals. If you're planning an event and need a design, I recommend working with Style House.”
“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!”
“I love this boutique! I’ve gotten countless personalized gifts here. You can find anything at this store for anyone, in all phases of life! Great styles and gift options! Cat’s Meow always has the newest items for each event or holiday season!”

“One of my favorite stores in St. Louis! From household cleaning supplies to interesting books and beautiful, well priced gifts--this store has a well currated collection. I love refilling soaps and oils at the same time that I can buy a birthday presents for a friend. Don't wait, visit them on Grand Ave today!”
“I want to thank Edible Arrangements for a last minute quick turnaround on a super busy day! I ordered from 1800-Never-Again and the second year in a row they failed to deliver her gift! Edible Arrangements came in right when I needed them. It means the world to me that she still was able to get a nice gift because of them. Thank you so much to the whole team who worked so hard on Mother's Day.”
“I’ve been shopping here since they opened and it’s always great. Last night I bought a Wicked baseball hat, when I got home it wasn’t in the bag. I called and they didn’t see anything left behind. I checked my car and retraced my steps because I hated that I paid $22 and never got to even hold it. This morning I went back to see if maybe they found it. They did not find it but the person working did everything they could to make sure I wasn’t leaving empty-handed. They worked their magic and I left with a hat! The biggest point for me is that this person did everything they could to help me. With customer service being what it is I found this to be major. Super grateful!”
“I love this place! I took my daughter here for a cartilage piercing. It's the cleanest piercing and tattoo shop you will find anywhere. I used to get my piercings from here decades ago. Even though it looks very different they are still the best. Hands down.”

“In high school and college, the Sign of the Arrow was "the place" for needlepoint key chain fobs we'd gift our girlfriends when they got their drivers license or joined a sorority. I still have a needlepoint key chain fob my sister updated with my married monogram. I've been a needlepointer since college and this is a wonderful store with helpful volunteers from Pi Beta Phi. The store is a nonprofit that helps Pi Beta Phi's philanthropy. As a sorority woman, I like supporting Pi Phi's philanthropy while shopping for needlepoint supplies, a hobby I'm getting back into. They have great designs for the local schools and colleges, plus cute seasonal decorations and sorority gifts. Check it out and continue the tradition of the needlepoint key chain!”
“My husband and I each made a Turkish
lamp in the class run by Raya. She was fantastic and she made it so easy for us from start to finish. This is a great experience and we highly recommend it!”
“Kristin and Kathleen were both very, very sweet and super helpful! I went in to see what they had to offer for Halloween decorations, I was so shocked to see they had all of that and more!
The store is twice the size compared to how it looks from the outside. They had products from women-owned and family-owned brands that each has their own story. Everything from self care, home goods, gifts, and decorations were available to choose from.
I would go back! I went in thinking “I shouldn’t buy anything – I’m just looking!” I left the boutique with 2 products I didn’t know existed and definitely have to gift. Thank you, Kristin and Kathleen!”
“I wanted say that I had the best experience at this shop! The sales person was super helpful and very pleasant. The lingerie selection was great and I got an awesome, festival worthy outfit too!”
“A St. Louis institution that outsiders may not understand completely. Yet, deliciousness is hard to argue with especially when it's frozen and you're enduring a St. Louis summer. Cash & credit cards accepted. Speedy service.
Ted Drews specializes in frozen custards referred to as 'concretes' because they're quite thick. You can combine any number of mix-ins to customize the creamy and super-sweet cream base to your satisfaction. They have lots of suggestions to choose from or create your own.
This is definitely a local favorite and a great idea to try during a St. Louis summer!”
“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!”
“Such a unique store that personalizes your items with your style. No extra cost, price included in price of item. High quality items and a beautiful end result. They are quick and even wrap items for you. Very easy to work with and lots of choices of items for every occasion. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Love this place so much for its vast amount of things to look at and purchase. A couple months ago a friend in my life lost a close dog to him that was a corgi, and his game plan for the mall was to find a plush toy that looks like him to comfort him. I immediately ran to this store and found all the corgis I could (which was a lot!) and he was thrilled to purchase a big cuddly one. I also have bought littlest pet shops and other collectables here before. The staff is so friendly!”
“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! You made my Mom’s day, which is priceless. I truly appreciate it. I will definitely order again from this location in the near future.”
“Excellent arrangements. They had a few options ready to purchase. And lots of idea if you order in advance. It was very clean. Nice staff. Delivery options too. Everything look awesome hard to decide.”
“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.”
