This store is conveniently located in a small shopping strip by a delicious bakery. I am often in…read morethis area as I frequent the UPS store a few doors down. Today I decided to check this place out since I had some extra time. Iris Gifts is very much a boutique store. I was immediately greeted with a smile. I told the store associate I was just looking and we left it at that. I love not being bothered, so I am completely fine after the initial greeting/offer of help until I ask for help later. They have all the cute and festive items for the seasons, adorable clothes for children, fun jewelry, amazing candles and more! I enjoy browsing stores like this when I have some free time to get ideas for later when birthdays and/or special occasions arise. In this area of town, you will find several boutique shops, but this one is very convenient and there is plenty of parking available. Some of my favorite items are the El Arroyo collection, the fun cocktail napkins and the decorative styrofoam cups. On the higher end, they sell beautiful, lovely smelling candles (one brand in particular is $115.00 - I don't know anything about the brand, so I can't give feedback on the price - maybe it lights itself - Lol), pretty costume jewelry, home decor pieces and alluring bath items that function as both decorative and useful. I was surprised to see the reviews are not higher for this shop. It's cute, it's friendly and it is full! What's not to love?!

I even had to ask to be checked out when they saw that I was ready to check out. The last time I was there, I noticed the staff was unfriendly but this time was the last straw. The vibe was very off putting and I'm starting to wonder if they only treat melanated people this way. Even though I like the store, I will not be returning. UPDATE: After reading other reviews, I see that what I felt was justified. They do not treat melanated people well. If you only want a certain demographic of people shopping in your store, then just say that. I will be sure to spread the news because apparently people have been complaining for over 6 years and you still haven't changed. Just put a sign on the door and be done with it.

This location is located inside the Galleria, on the 1st level - near Banana Republic, Vera Bradley, and Loft. For some reason, when I placed an online order for pickup at this location, when calling for an ETA, they said they never received the order.

The products we received were great and service was quick. No complaints there.

Tips: If you plan on getting something engraved same day plan on saving at least an hour of wait time after buying and deciding on a product. If it is a weekend, plan in twice as much time. If its a holiday weekend, you will just have to wait a day or two. If you go on the weekday, my turn around time is 45 min to an hour.

I had my baby in tow and they were all very nice about how much space we took up with our stroller and seemed genuinely excited to have a little shopper Parking : They're in a shopping center with plenty of uncovered parking spots. There are a few spots reserved for the store right in front of the door Other things to note: I don't think it is handicap accessible. There are 2 steps up to the front door and the aisles are narrow . We had to be strategic getting the stroller around They do have a restroom but there's no changing table

Parking is close lot so you can get in and out without having to walk acres across a parking lot and the store has lots of helpers / staff if you get stumped. If there isn't anyone proximal, they'll find the expert for that area, lickety split. This place covers the whole gambit of items your needing be it hardware, outdoor living, kitchen, party and paper, baby & kid's items. The list goes on. I particularly shop in the lighting and cleaning section, but I enjoy the coffee and chocolates. They have a few roast choices of what they put out for their daily coffee and allows me some time to chit chat with either the people there or the service attendant. Prices are a bit higher, but you get quick and quality service. I've read some of the other lower rated reviews and it seem many folks have a high sense of fragility over stupid sh..t! Oh the entitlement..... If you get the opportunity, come shop here or give it a walk through the many little sections and see what you can find and use.

The colorful wall of cookbooks is such a delight. To be fair, I visited today in hopes of finding a spicy salsas & moles cookbook, which I found on their website. But it was nowhere to be found within the brick and mortar shoppe. Alas, we settled for the savory potato book. The autumnal kitchen aprons piqued my attention and I may revisit pretty soon. Everything is becoming gold and orange within the shoppe. The large green parrot at the shoppe is quite amusing and adorable. We love interacting with him. It's always fun to visit Bering's, they have something for everyone. They often have deals as well, talk about sweet! Oh and don't forget the coffee and chocolates. They have handmade chocolates, biscotti and local coffee. The culinary equipment here is quite nice, whether you're looking for a new teapot, knife set or mugs, bowls. They often have food sample displays during the weekend as well, in particular, Saturday morning. Come check it out!

I visited in January and the post-holiday sales were superb. I'm talking 50-75% off all holiday items. The sales associates were great - there to answer questions and help when needed, but not pushy or in your face. I walked away with several bags of goodies. What an entertaining day of window-shopping turned real shopping.
