If I've learned anything from years spent reading Cute Overload, it's that tiny things are almost…read moreguaranteed to be more adorable than their normal sized counterparts. My new favorite Memphis gift shop is no exception. Nest manages to cram a well-organized and thoughtful stock of housewares, gifts, baby items, jewelry and dishes into their tiny Germantown space. The building, which looks more like a wee cabin than a storefront is only 12 feet by 16 feet. Inside, though, gift items (many of them appropriately tiny) are arranged floor to ceiling. Be sure to look down - some very cool things are hiding on low shelves. What I liked most about Nest is that because of the space's size, everything in the shop seems like it was stocked with intention - there's aren't any items that don't belong. I loved the tiny spoons, vintage silverware bundles, shabby chic textiles and selection of cute necklaces (that range in price from crazy reasonable to fairly high end). And despite it's size, Nest is the sort of place that would probably have a gift for even the pickiest people. Next time I need something for my mom or a hard-to-buy-for lady friend, this is where I'm going. A word of warning before you head to Nest: it's really hard to find on Google Maps alone. The easiest way to get there is to head east on Poplar (towards Germantown). Turn right into The Market at Poplar Estates - it sort of looks like a garden center. Keep going once you turn in, and Nest will be on your left.

I received a gift and went to exchange the gift. I wasn't aware that there was a time limit for exchanges, and this was no problem because most stores have this practice. I stated that the gift was purchased and presented to me. The lady asked me if I had anyone to give it to....talk about offensive. Once again, I understood their return policy and didn't question the policy at all. But the lack of sensitivity is what I question. I wanted the gift simply because someone gave it to me, and the store employee kept my receipt. Lastly, the store is overpriced for the products. Cute little whatnots...but not for me.

Anytime I've been in Babcock I've been greeted and helped without issue. In fact on my last visit I was the rude one - no appointment and I might have expressed some frustration when I was offered a Tuesday appointment (I work, which apparently also differentiates me from the typical customer). Macy's just doesn't have everything and I was just looking to get one more thing crossed off my busy bride to do list. Anyway, my fiancé and I were able to select our flatware and let the kind lady helping us know the glasses I already knew "we" wanted. She was even kind enough to pull out the China we already have so we could see how the flatware options look with it. We were given the 411 on how the registry works - people actually buy gift certificates and we'll get a card in the mail and can order the actual items at one point in time. We were offered to look at other items and weren't treated like we imposed upon them when we kinda did. Oh, and they gave me a six pence (something old, something new, some borrowed, something blue and a six pence for your shoe) on our way out - how cute is that? My fiancé did find the whole thing a bit pretentious though so I'm deducting one star because they're doing something to not make people feel welcome.

Mrs. Post is a brand new stationery and gift store in East Memphis. And while you're grandma will be excited to receive one of their cute letterpress cards from you, there's nothing stuffy about the shop. Before they opened Mrs. Post, owners Lindsey Cross and Natalie Ellis-Chang designed a line of wholesale paper products called Lemon Tree Paper. They've got about 400 pieces, and each one is printed locally. All of the Lemon Tree Paper invitations, cards, and notes are available at Mrs. Post. My favorite thing about the shop was the small, but well thought out collection of gifts. There's a lot of whimsy in a small space. I was totally smitten with the Jonathan Adler whale shaped salt and pepper shakers and the surprise balls (the package reads "to enjoy, please destroy"). They've also got candles, baby booties and party decorations you'll want to leave up well after the fun is over.
