When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.

I was in the children's section looking for a book for a five-year-old and there was a family with their kids' reading books while they shopped, it was so sweet. I didn't stop after I found a book, I had to look around at all the cute other stuff they carry beyond books. A St. Louis section, candles, puzzles, games. Because it was the Holiday season they had check-out downstairs. I pulled a sucker and got to choose a book wrapped in brown paper, so it was a surprise. Also got a wooden key ornament to hang on the tree, so fun. Don't forget to browse the Romance side of the store, lots of goodies there as well.

I love being able to drop off old jars/glass dishes to have them filled with a new candle scent…read more There are some really nice jars that I have had for a few years and once the candle is finsihed buring, I bring them back to Urban Candle and choose a new scent to fill. The last time I dropped off about 4 or 5 to be filled and chose some really nice scents for the spring/summer. They fill candles once a month and once they are ready for pick up, a text will be sent out. I received the text while I was out of town, but I plan to stop by this weekend to pick my candles up and cannot wait to burn them over the weekend and over the next few weeks. The whole process is simple and the owner is super kind and helpful.

It was crowded today, and it's tight quarters. The proprietors and clerks are friendly and engaging. I got an Olivella face and body bar of 100% virgin olive oil with anti-aging properties for $4 (buy 6, get one free) and a beautiful container of foaming bath gel ($5) looking like a Christmas tree ornament (and the shape of the container was of a tree), including a hook on the top, in orange color (and smelling of orange) -- both for our Thanksgiving hostess.

They helped me plan and design the flowers for our wedding, and were available for guidance and advice for months leading up to our event. Their store hours are very flexible making it easy to setup meetings, and they were able to schedule meetings on the fly. Additionally, they volunteered to make trips out to our venues to maximize our floral capabilities. Bridget and Dave showed up in advance to day-of setup time and even brought an extra team member, ensuring that there was zero setup anxiety on the day of the wedding. I have total faith and trust in their reliability. They never made our event seem like another job - instead, they truly made me feel like our wedding was an event in which they were excited to partake. They were very understanding on the limitations of our budget. So much so, that they even helped us setup other wedding tasks such as candles, and also delivered our "used" arrangements to our house after the wedding for a second chance at life. Lastly but most importantly, David and Bridget have a solid understanding of taste. Their floral palette is mature, modern and eccentric. In floral design, these qualities are difficult to find in the Midwest. They took our wedding vision and brought it to life through many details, and we still get complimented that it was the best and most unique flowers people have seen at a wedding. Flowers to the People can not be beat!
