The Hope Chest has been on my list for some time now. This is one of the few places that seem worth my while near my job and I'm certainly happy about it. I suppose it's a great location opposite of where I live closer to the city. It's cute and filled with little gems literally and figuratively. As I perused the large store filled with goodies and trinkets I was pleased they carried "Love Your Melon" products. I saw plenty of accessories and clothing all of which were stylish and fairly trendy. It was a quiet way to spend my lunch hour. The boutique jewelry was well priced and all I could think about were the number of gifts I could check of throughout the year. Gift for me, gift for her. The clothing unfortunately I didn't even bother. I am too tall and bigger than the average woman. I stayed in my lane. I absolutely loved this place. There were so many unique items for her, your car, your loved ones. Wellness, peace and beauty was a consistent theme. Bath bombs and soaps, hats, scarves, purses bracelets if all kinds. There are some books too. I'll be back really soon before the spring and summer merchandise takes over. read more

They recently moved to a location on rt 49. The store is much bigger and beautiful! She still has a huge Vera Bradly section but now has a large inventory of clothes, other bags, jewelry and gifts. Plus the owner, Kim, is a complete sweetheart and will do anything she can to make sure you have a good experience. It's definitely a nice place to shop local! read more

Ordered 2 shirts on line because it was a far drive from my home, I never order clothes on line with fear of them not fitting but i absolutely love them . It was the same shirt in 2 different colors, the quality is very good. Everyone was really sweet when I called the store before my online order. I will definitely order again and I hope to take the drive to the store very soon. Great experience, so glad I ordered. read more

My mom and I starting visiting The Hope Chest when it was a small store in Dutch Neck. My mom was a huge collector of Vera Bradley handbags and Kim was always so helpful and accommodating. Now that it's in it's larger location, they have so many more wonderful things! read more

Great place to shop! Always new and different items that no one else has. Love the jewelry selection and the clothes. I love that my teenage daughters ask me to take them shopping there and we all walk out with something that we love. read more
