This is such a gem in the neighborhood, and I hope they stay open forever! They’re the perfect place to shop for gifts when you don’t really know what you’re looking for.

Very cute spot with lots of random things to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ended up leaving with way more items than I thought I would and was very happy about it. I highly recommend trying out some of the candles, as they smell great and are long lasting. My favorite was from Almonte Studio & Paige’s Candle Co(:

Unique, vital shop in the Ditmars area in Astoria. Outstanding variety of products including clothing, accessories, books, jewelry. Their crucial role includesspearheading community projects such as Shop Small Business Astoria for Winter Holidays and most recently Spring. They have terrific sales. Their products are extremely well made. Staff is extremely helpful and they welcome conversation. Brass Owl is an oasis in what can be trying troublesome times.

I'm a little sad. I absolutely love supporting small businesses and want small businesses to thrive. But I was really turned off because I didn't feel welcomed at all. I entered the store and I was the only one in the store. When I came in the person working was really preoccupied with taking Instagram stories of their products, even taking photos of the products right next to me. I know because she took photos of a boot in different spots of the store. I just didn't feel welcomed and felt awkward even wanting to ask for help. Don't get me wrong their selection is great but I would much rather go to Lockwood where I feel comfortable to window shop or ask for help than come back to this store.

Brass owl is a carefully curated shop near me. I especially love the jewelry, candles and personal care items. They have a wonderful selection of goods from local makers as well.

TBO is a quaint boutique situated on Ditmars Blvd with such charming and curious items. I've been a fan of the store these past few years and have made a number of purchases from stylish women's shoes to amazing scented candles and lovely jewelry. More recently, I have been drawn to their stones and have found and purchased such lovely ones here! Definitely a great place to stop and take a look. I never want to leave when I'm here! Not to mention their customer service is top notch which makes the experience all the better. Ah - I forgot to mention one very important detail! Did you know that this is a woman-owned small business which is so encouraging and empowering! As an Astorian, I can attest that TBO is a beautiful addition to our lovely neighborhood in so many ways. Thank you! Also, I wish the word "Astoria" were somehow weaved into the name, something like "Astoria's Brass Owl" :)

I loved the staff's attention to my needs in the store. They did a great job helping me pick out and gift wrap a present for my friends birthday this week.
