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.

Hi, I had The Queen Bee do some Christmas wrapping for me…read morethis season and I want to tell all what happen. I dropped off my gifts that I needed wrapped and gave instructions on how i wanted it done. Well, Christmas morning when my wife opened up her gifts, she found her cloths I had bought her still in the plastic bags, plus the prices showing. I was so pissed and embarrassed at the same time, but what could I do. I went back on 12/27 and told them of my displeasement and they appoligized, but didn't offer anything to offsett their mistake. I spent over $65.00 to have 6 gifts wrapped (Too High), even though the wrapping was beautiful, they could have at least offered me a FREE wrap on my next visit, but nothing. Plus they make no refunds or exchanges either, what a place! I gave them a chance to make it right, but....

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.

I prefer to shop the main areas and pick up TRS branded things, but there are several local vendors throughout the store. I usually go there around all the holidays because they have fun themed items. I almost always leave with something, usually a good sale item or gift.

I just fell in love with this store!…read more I am a Houstonian. The store recently had a booth at our annual holiday market in Houston - The Nutcracker Market. I vowed that next time I was in Baton Rouge I'd have to visit the real deal! And I didn't break my promise to myself! I was in for such a treat! I didn't buy much but I could spend hours and hours in the store browsing their many rooms. What doesn't this store offer??? It's a wonderland of fun for ladies! You can find gifts for yourself or loved ones ranging from clothes, jewelry, houseware, lotions, purses, jewelry bags, mugs, wedding gifts, candles, LSU attire, blankets, children's clothing holiday items (depending on th holiday - as they were switching out their Christmas inventory to Mardi Gras). I'm telling you - rooms and rooms of countless option of any occasion! The employees were very helpful and answered a few questions I had about their jewelry. Mind you, a lot of their stuff is made in China (what isn't these days). Just be a smart consumer on what you are purchasing. I wish I had had more time to spend at the store, as I was visiting a friend and we were on limited time. Definitely a worthwhile place to just check out and window shop! You won't be disappointed!

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.

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!

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!

Ollie's gets in product and merchandise from stores' overstock/unsold storage, and there are reasons for unsold items. If an appliance, check online reviews for other customer experiences. For this particular location, most of the time, they do NOT have the popular advertised items. I live about an hour away and have gone to this store, not found what was advertised, asked the staff, and received awkward looks and "I don't even know what that is" responses-- they do not even know what is in their own ad! They were more interested in continuing their personal conversation. They could have been repairing the other entrance door or just removing it and ensuring no fire code violations. Would I go back? Yes. How often? 1-2 times a year What am I looking for? Gardening items, candles, educational materials, holiday gifts
