As a chronic procrastinator, I have a tendency to wait until the last possible second to buy presents for people. Have you seen the girl scrambling around on Christmas Eve trying to justify the purchase of mismatched socks as a gift because everything else is picked over? Yep, I'm that girl... and the unlucky recipient is my little sister.
Have no fear, future friends, because Handpicked comes to the rescue! This little jewelry boutique offers handbags, scarves, and, of course jewelry... it's the perfect spot for last-minute presents for all of the ladies in your life.
I tend to find my favorite pieces in the back of the store (where they keep the trendier pieces), but they also have a large selection of stainless steel items up front. These goodies can be engraved, and they're pretty popular with the Carolina Girls.
The staff is very helpful, and they're always friendly. If you already know what you have in mind, or need help picking out the perfect present for the lucky lady, these girls prove invaluable.
I should also clue you in to the fact that they're very reasonably priced! I found the perfect bib necklace (that reminded me of a much more expensive JCrew version) for my best friend for a grand total of $18. Score!
Also of note is their engraved serving tray that makes a fantastic wedding present! (Trust me, I've used it...) For around $50, they engrave the wedding invitation onto the tray... and voila! You're the best present giver in the world! Happy shopping! read more
