Ever Jane Boutique (EJB) is one of my favorite stores in Coastal Virginia! Tucked away in the Edinburgh area in Chesapeake, it's located right next to the Barrel Room in the complex of businesses across the street from Target. EJB is an all around feel good shop. When I need a mood booster or when I am looking for a gift, I go there. It's kinda like that shop in the malls that was called Spencer's except this is his witty, sophisticated older sister who has the same family sense of humor, but classy. The owner and her staff are just the sweetest people and they genuinely love to see you come in whether you are coming in to take a look around or on a mission to get some retail therapy!
This shop is PACKED with so many goodies that it's hard to see it all in one visit. They change the layout of the store quite often. Every time you go, I notice something new and I love that things are sold in limited quantities except for a few items and brands. Keeps things fresh. The owner likes to do her own retail therapy by shopping for the store and sometimes, she'll only buy a limited quantity and once that item is gone, it's gone!
This isn't an exhaustive list, but these are some of the things you can find:
- the round table in front will have some themed display depending on the time of year (Black History Month, Women's History Month, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Pride, Halloween, Christmas etc etc.)
- women's clothing and fun(ny) t-shirts
- jewelry (lot of it made by local artists)
- mugs and wine glasses with funny quotes
- kids section with adorable books about important historical figures
- greeting cards (not your ordinary cards)
- self affirmation journals and notebooks
- coasters with the funniest sayings on them
- oven mitts and kitchen towels
- lots of fun gift bags and tissue paper
and so much more! Take a look at the pics, because that will give you a better idea.
Every time I am in need of a gift, EJB is my first stop! There is literally something for everyone, (unless they have no sense of humor). I did go in there once in search of a gift for my kid's teacher and then I held back. I didn't know her THAT well and my kid was STILL in her class. Maybe end of year gift? LOL
Anyway, you should definitely stop by but if you can't, take a look online because they also ship!
They have several shop events throughout the year and they also collaborate with other local businesses to provide a collective discount or prize and makes supporting local fun!
Also, don't forget to look in the bag for a little envelope. You won't want to throw that out!
Pro-tip: They just recently started offering a rewards program, so be sure to sign up for those!
