    My necklace before being put together
    Jessica B.

    I had SO MUCH FUN here! It was our last full day and we ended it with charm necklaces/bracelets! We got to commemorate our trip with a wonderful keepsake for years to come. I can't remember the girl that helped us but she was so sweet and friendly. She answered all our questions and so helpful. I was chatting with my friends about hummingbirds and she quickly showed us one that was PERFECT for my piece. She was one of the best parts of the shop as she made us feel so welcome and be one of the girls. She even took the time to recommended some other places for us. My necklace ended up being so perfect to who I was I'm going to treasure it so much! Really worth taking the girls and creating together!

    Bar Link Chain 18" (custom length request)
    Michael Angelo A.

    I'm in San Diego and ordered from The Bead Shop online, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I requested a custom length for my chain, and they delivered exactly as requested with great attention to detail. Bar link chains are surprisingly hard to find out here for some odd reason, so I was thrilled to come across their selection. The quality is fantastic, and the customer service was top-notch. Shipping was quick, and they even included a handwritten note, which was a nice personal touch. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for unique and high-quality jewelry supplies! Thank you The Bead Shop! When I'm in NOLA, I'll be swinging by to say thank you personally!

    Cutie pin at the register to benefit the humane society! ($10)
    Dawn V.

    Love this place! The Bad Baby necklaces got me here (see pic) as they make excellent souvenir gifts for friends visiting- especially if it's carnival season But I also bought the cutest dog pin at the register because it benefits the Humane Society (see pic, dog lovers!) Everyone here is super friendly and helpful and the vibe is comfortable

    Example of charm bracelet
    McKenzie Y.

    My friends and I reserved a time slot for jewelry making on Saturday, and had THE best time! We were (pleasantly) overwhelmed by the extensive selection of every kind of bead and charm available. If we wanted a bead turned into a charm, they could do it. If we wanted a gold loop instead of silver, they could do it. Caroline helped us the whole time, checking in with us while we looked, taught us how to put on jump rings then assemble our charm bracelets. We will definitely go back!!! The bracelets turned out amazing.

    The Bead Shop is located on Magazine Street near the Western end of the 8 mile tourism stretch. Significant collection of all things shiny and "beadable".. Great friendly staff. There is even a little work room in the back for folks to string their own set of beads. Whether you want a set for Mardi Gras, or have a hobby in beads, or simply just curious; the Bead Shop is worth a visit.

    so many great beads!!

I had two key words to go off of: tea and candles. Hmmmmm.... I had my friend Eric tell me about The Collective Shop a few months back when he bought some prints and I obsessed about them at his house. I was told it had recently opened on Magazine Street (this was around Halloween) and it was not only #blackowned but #womanowned and #opentoall ! *sold* I had this ace in my pocket for a while now but wanted a reason to shop for someone else, besides myself, and have a proper visit to explore and shop. I'm notorious for buying gifts for myself then as I'm in my car realized that I needed to shop for whatever the occasion was for. The shop is so stinking cute and is about 2-3 blocks away from Drink Beauty. Honestly, I love taking a stroll on Magazine Street and just basking in the ambiance. Once I found the cute little shop, I made my way in and fell in love at first sight. Had the chance to meet Alysia, one of the owners and she showed me around. I had asked her if they offer shipping and they do if you hit a certain threshold. WINNING I mentioned about my secret mission and wanted to make sure this could be sent incognito. She was super awesome and handled the details once I provided the address. I even left the items there since I needed computer access to her address. They have their own loose leaf tea and were super informative on which ones work with alternative milks and best for chai lattes. What won me over though were their #vegan candles which Alysia and Toni make in-house! I took a few sniffs and selected my fave two scents. The smaller ones were $8 a pop and the larger ones were around $14. You can find tons of knick knacks around here and make sure to ask which items are made in-house. Really loved my experience here and this shop implements COVID-19 safety practices! I snagged my secret santa gift for a little over $30 and left with a huge smile on my face. I hope CM Anne F. likes it just as much when it arrives to her doorstep.

But a vivid memory. I remember LOTS OF color and lots of beauty. This store has that too!! There are SO many cute and affordable gifts in this store. I got my son a wooden glider plane because even though he's 10 he still LOVES making paper airplanes and flying them. I also got him a change purse, one of those cute sandwich plastic coin purses we all had as kids that says "candy money." I bought quite a few cards there and I got myself the line a day memory journal, which is the "One Line a Day," for 5 years. For ME. Everything about this store is curated so well. Adults have plenty to choose from: Fred items, funny and kitchy cards and beautiful gifts. They also have so many beautiful tissue papers and gift wraps and bags. Not to mention that the store ITSELF is beautiful! I really need this woman to come and design a space for me. Because it was so beautiful, well curated. Asthetically pleasing, and inviting. I will be back if I'm in NOLA again. Otherwise PLEASE visit this adorable store!!

    Was disappointed today, my go to shop for gifts. The item I went to purchase happened to be on…read moresale, last month I purchased but full price. Of course, I was delighted. Unfortunately, when I asked about gift wrapping I was told sale items are not eligible. I offered to pay extra, I was on the way to a party. I was refused, put in a plain bag, no tissue. When I mentioned in the future about charging I was told, my boss has owned this shop 20 years so I'm not telling her how to run it. Really? As a customer for years and only suggestions, not appropriate response. So, instead of at least putting in a bag with their logo for advertising I had to buy a gift bag and they didn't get any recognition. Common sense should prevail.

    This is one of those shops that I can't believe I haven't reviewed, as I've stopped in here for…read moreyears. They have plenty of moderately price jewelry and housewares and doodads that make great gifts...if you have the girly sorts to purchase for. Another I like about this shop, it's not packed to the roof with stock. You can actually peruse without being overwhelmed and move without fearing that you're going to take out a shelving unit of glassware. WHEW. The staff has always been helpful without being push and there is often free wine while you shop (BONUS). Sometimes I hit the jackpot and sometimes not. The upstairs (ok 3 steps) back room is a separate business so be prepared to use your card twice if you want merchandise from both spaces.
