They really take the time to understand your event and how they can design an invitation that is right for you - and if they've never done it before, they will design it for you! I've gotten birthday party invitations, baby shower invitations, wedding shower invitations, thank you cards, personalized stationery and enclosure cards and each was more beautiful than the next. It is also a fantastic place to find unique gifts - from newborn items to jewelry. And the gift wrap is the best in town. Hands down my favorite store!

The Queen Bee remains one of my favorite gift stores / home goods stores in Baton Rouge. This is…read moreone of the places I always drop by to find gifts for colleagues and friends. They have a little of everything, from cute gift and coffee table books to stationary to candles and jewelry to all sorts of home accessories. I am always greeted with a smile and given my space to explore. Staff offers assistance with gift ideas, gives the history behind the products they carry, and are willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. About a year ago, they moved around the corner (same building) to a bigger space, and now you can see the treasures a little better. While some items are pricey, The Queen Bee isn't charging more than you would pay to purchase them elsewhere, and items go on sale now and then, so you can find even more to take home with you. The Queen Bee supports other local businesses in the area, and now and then you will find they have items like a local baker's cookies (don't pass them up). I will continue coming back time and time again.

Though the Yankee Candle Co. is a national brand located in all corners across the US, the last…read moreplace I would've expected to encounter it was in the land of a former confederacy (i.e. the South). Call it Yankee Candle or Confederate Light House, people still swarm all over this seasonal shop for its awesome deals and its infinite candle variety in all colors, sizes, and smells. Though I've seen it in many malls across many states, this is actually the first time I've ever stepped into a Yankee Candle store. To my surprise, it smells nice in here, It's clean, uncluttered, and noticeably spacious. As strange as it sounds, it does set a slight mood of tranquility. It's probably busiest during the holiday season. The aromas from all of the scented candles combined to create a lot of pop-and-sniff action from patrons visiting here. Prices are generally a little higher than most candles one will find in generic arts and craft stores, but the variety is unmatched. Be sure to stop in here when they have deals like I did, as many of the candles were 50-75% off.

So, I just want to start by saying that this place is awesome! Too awesome, as I seem to have a…read morehard time coming out of there without spending a fortune! It's not because everything is so expensive but because it's all soooo cute I cannot resist!! And I usually have very good self-control when it comes to shopping. Their bag selection is phenomenal and that's usually what gets me in trouble! So many bags!! Purses, clutches, sling bags, beach bags, tote bags, travel duffel bags, I could go on, but I should probably stop! Tons of burlap bags and burlap everything else for that matter! I love natural fiber anything! Super cute shoes and clothes as well. They also have tons of affordable and adorable present ideas! Baby shower or wedding presents, super cute kids toys, LSU stuff, and more! You'll just have to check it out yourself! Also, if you can swing by during one of their sidewalk sales, there are things that are marked down to even $2 and $3! It's a great time to stock up on gifts! Just don't expect it to be a quick shopping trip, you'll be there a while! Plus, it's a really beautiful store! My daughter was so intrigued by the side courtyard that she wanted to have a picnic out there! LOL. And of course it's in a great part of town where you can almost spend the day just walking around, shopping and eating! There is also a bigger Royal Standard store on Perkins closer to Prairieville but this one is definitely my favorite in one of my fav parts of BR!

Very friendly people and lots of great gift ideas for yourself or others you wish to buy for. Everything is handcrafted by local vendors and all is reasonably priced.

They have handmade soaps, jewelry, and other things that support local artists as well. Everyone here are so knowledgeable, kind, and so helpful!

If you have asthma don't go in here. I have healthy lungs but I hated breathing the air and got a…read morebit of a headache after being in there. Don't get me wrong, I burn incense and candles at home, but having so much scented material in paper and open containers in a small space does not make good air. It was hard for me to determine how any of the incense smelled because I could only smell The One True Scent of everything mixed together. Anyway, this place is fine and typical. Has stones, jewelry (expensive), incense and incense burners, books, tarot. Doesn't have figurines, clothing, or smoking paraphernalia like some places; whether thats good or bad is up to you. They have a decent selection of affordable gems. Didn't find anything I really wanted though; many of the crafted items were poor quality, it'd be nice if they replaced the badly made wooden boxes with used or antique ones, and maybe included some local candlemakers and other artisans.

So excited for Baton Rouge to finally have our own Fleurty Girl store as I've been checking out the…read morecute stuff online for years! My mom, daughter, and I checked it out today and we're lucky to find a parking spot as the small lot was full and so was the side road off Government. Tip: the entrance and parking are not facing Government Street, so look for the big "FLEURTY GIRL" sign on the building then turn down the side road. I was surprised to see just how much this store has! Everything from cute LSU and Saints boutique clothes, shoes, purses, earrings, etc to hilarious coasters and dish towels. Cute items for fans of Dolly, Taylor Swift, the Golden Girls, etc. Too much to type, so my advice is if you need a gift, go to Fleurty Girl! Definitely can find something Louisiana natives will love and cherish or something to make everyone laugh. Prices seem reasonable too, so have fun shopping!

My favorite store for Louisiana themed gifts! It's been a long time coming, but finally having a…read moreBaton Rouge store was worth the wait. The store is located at Government Street and Terry Drive, and there is a small parking lot associated with it. Street parking is also available if there are a lot of customers when you visit. The store has all the favorites -LSU, SU, and Saints attire, body glitter, the infamous t-shirts, the door hangers, quippy housewares, earrings, socks, baby items, and so much more. Staff was really friendly and appropriately attentive. They allow you to try on items in the shared bathroom (there is a small nail salon and small hair salon also on the property). Hopefully they will start to have more Baton Rouge specific art and items in the store and adapt to the area (like they did in Bay St. Louis). Lots of their items are very New Orleans focused, but i assume with time, that could change. Looking forward to seasonal visits to check out all the things! Thanks for finally making your way to BTR!

Overall, fantastic experience, service, & quality.

Working with Mr. Hannon has been a delightful experience. My fiancee custom designed my ring with…read moreMr. Hannon, and it is EXACTLY what I wanted: a salt and pepper diamond-- not too dark, but not too light-- cut in a hexagon shape in a gold band. With the uniqueness of the diamond I wanted, my fiancee met with Mr. Hannon 9 different times to look at different diamonds. Mr. Hannon took the time to scope out and order several diamonds for my fiancee to look at each meeting. He continued to hone in with each visit what my fiancee wanted out of the diamond, and he never complained or got frustrated by how much work was asked of him because he values sentimentality. Mr. Hannon is a man who goes above and beyond for engagement rings because he KNOWS how important they are. To him, it's not just a piece of jewelry, it's a symbol of love and devotion. He recognizes each ring is like each love story, unique and deserving of time, effort, and respect. He worked SO hard to make sure this ring is everything I wanted and more, and I am so grateful he, and my fiancee, gave me such a unique yet simple piece of jewelry that I can wear and cherish every day. We went back to Mr. Hannon for our wedding bands, and he spent the time explaining small intricacies of bands that we didn't even think of (gold type, curved edge versus sharp edge, band thickness and depth, shiny or textured, etc.). He guided us through all of our decisions, letting us know the pros and cons of each option presented, but never trying to sway us a certain way. He sold us the wedding bands at market price, and provided insurance and free cleanings. He engraves in house with several font options. Overall, he made our engagement and wedding band shopping experiences exciting, cultivating a kind and caring environment, never pushing us towards more expensive options, and putting hours in to accommodate our wishes within our budget. Thank you Mr. Hannon for all of your hard work, and I wish I could give you more than 5 stars!
