She seemed a little surprised that I was a San Antonian. That's OK. We chatted about that a bit. Her shop is so very pleasant and airy. It is stocked with scented candles, jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets), lotions, pens, birthday and non-specific cards (really cool ones; you probably won't find them anywhere else; I bought 3 and a pen). I know I've missed some items, but you get the picture. And damn it, I did not take a picture!! We got to talking about various things and she turned me on to the HEB curbside grocery service. She swears by it, so I may have to try it myself. Anyway, next time you are downtown before 6:30 pm, stop by. So very nice and pleasant. Cadeaux means 'gifts.

Fabulous unique and reasonably priced gifts and ideas. Arthur is great and good gift wrapping!read more

The shop manager, Lori, made our visit unforgettable. She was incredibly kind and took the time to show us the fountain pens as well as introduced us to all the wonderful products the shop offers. You can really tell how much she cares about the customers. If you're a stationery lover or even just curious about fountain pens/journals or the paper goods they have to offer, this is absolutely the place to visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Antonio. Thank you Belle & Union and thank you Lori for such a wonderful experience!

Greetings! I had hand-crocheted a large blanket in the shape…read moreof a hexagon for a wedding present, and needed it to be wrapped. Because I wanted it NOT to appear as though a toddler had wrapped it, I needed help. Desperately! Hence, I found this quaint, adorable boutique with the assistance of Google. I gave them a call and spoke with Michelle, who was just so gracious. When I described the size and shape of the gift, she assured me that they could accommodate me, even though the weeding was a mere 3 days away. When I arrived at the shop, Michelle showed me selections of paper and ribbon, from which I chose a pretty cream colored paper with gold stars, with some contrasting ribbons. She assured me that they would find a perfect box and even insert some florals. Because the rain makes my back act up, I sent my husband to pick up the wrapped present that was ready just after the shop opened the very next day -- OMG! It looked like it came out of a catalog -- and it was only $15 plus tax! When I was at the store, I had inquired about personalized embossed stationary, and Michelle told me that they did a type of "reverse embossing" (I've forgotten the appropriate term, but you get the picture). I'm DEFINITELY going to explore their options! This boutique may have gained a customer for life! Thank you -- and kudos for quick thinking, putting your creation wrapped in a trash bag to protect it from the inclement weather

I love them!

Some things to keep in mind before visiting this location is that it is much smaller than your usual mall size Bath & Body Works location and it can get packed! I've literally seen them with lines out the door, but the staff always does their best at get the line moving as quickly as possible. Some pro-tips before coming here is to park on the back of their store. There are plenty of available parking spots, plus also a few chargers for electric cars. That way you avoid all the traffic from the other stores at this shopping center. Also, before checking out make sure to have your rewards number ready so you can earn all your points. Don't like to shop in store? No problem! You can buy everything online and just pick-up at their counter.

Super charming shop with many items to choose from...great gift shop. They have a plethora of greeting cards, candy, travel mugs, stuffed animals, glasses, etc. to name just a few. It is quite enjoyable to peruse the items they are featuring at the time. One of my main attractions are their sales racks - 90% off, 75% off and 50% off. I scored some 75% off gift bags with hearts on them and the word Love which I can use all year long. The store staff always greet you when you come in and point you to where you need to go. Sometimes, they even walk you to the area. Overall, great shopping trip! Look forward to returning in the future...

I love this place.

The service was great. They explained the process well, checked on me frequently, and were so helpful with creating the final product. They have various scents to choose from. You can mix and match until you find the one you like. You choose your vessel and they mix your choices until the scent is how you want it. You can choose the color and adorn it with wax designs. The price of the candle is based on the price of the vessel. It's a small space but they take small groups and singles (I'm sure you can rent the space up to occupancy size but call to be sure). They are strict about the appointments. They base appointments on party size so there's no room for add ons the day of because they roll appointments. If you need to add on, call ahead first. For fire code purposes, they have to adhere to the limit. I enjoyed the experience. I only wish they had patchouli. It's my favorite scent.

What a fun day!…read more Perfect for date nights, bachelorette party, mother/daughter or mother/son day. You pick your scents. So many options to choose from. I of course had to make a fall scent. You mix the scents till you're happy. Mine was 6 drops of Sunday brunch, 3 drop of vanilla, and 4 drops of cinnamon. You then pick which holder for your candle and then color for your wax. I had a total blast and can't wait to do this again . The staff was awesome!

Shades of Green is a little oasis in the middle of San Antonio!…read more This nursery is one of my favorite in the city because of how peaceful and calm it is. They have a huge selection of both indoor and outdoor plants, and they just keep adding more and more selection of plants to their repertoire. If you love indoor plants, you have to check out their greenhouse. It always has a huge selection of plants from all sizes. They also recently opened a section of cacti and succulents which is super cool. I am not really into those plants, but just walking inside that section makes me feel like I am in Arizona or somewhere else. Frankly it is just magical how much one section can change to the next. Also, the service here is always excellent. I've got some amazing recommendations and tips to take care of my plants from the people that work here. In regards to the value, I think their prices are great for a small business. Anyhow, y'all can see I really love this plant nursery and I think it is a must if you are looking for a new plant baby or just want to take in nature.
