From handmade birdhouses to gourmet foods to throwback candy to inspirational books, this place has something for everyone! Be sure to check out their Facebook page and be informed of upcoming sales and events! They have a special Wednesday night girls night that includes a discount on all purchases. My anti-shopping husband and I went on a Sunday afternoon and I had to drag HIM out of the store! He found so many things that he wanted that he had to start a pile at the register so he didn't have to carry everything while he continued to shop! Our treasures included a pizza oven cook book, a shepherd's hook, a birdhouse, some peach bbq sauce, a handmade pen, a large picture/wall hanging, and a few caramels. We love it all and can't wait to go back! Pro tip....be sure to use the restroom so you can read about the history of this beautiful space. Sounds weird, I know, but what a lovely story abut a well-loved place! This is the PERFECT place to go if you are wanting to buy a unique and thoughtful gift for someone but have no idea what to get. Your gift will be the best one your receiver had gotten! The prices are fair. Not too high but not a discount store either. It is still a boutique. Oh...and the salespeople are just awesome! So sweet and make you feel like you are their closest friends. They wrap your goodies under with care and even offered to help carry things to our car. The whole experience was a 10/10!!!

The Round Bar is a long standing boutique in the North Suburbs. It's got great land history it…read moreprides itself in. I'm not all that knowledgeable on it but I'm sure they'd tell you about the "farm" it sits on. It's in a great location off of Bunker, near Round Lake. Parking is behind the building. Now you may think you are parking in a memory care apartment complex because you are. That's a part of this original Farmstead property. They take pride in MN. You'll find anything made by a local MN artisan here. There's a section devoted to just the MN State Fair. It may be stuffed to the brim with things, but it is organized well. Bath, body, kitchen, cabin, baby, faith, sports, fashion, treats. I usually want it all. And it's a great place to find a birthday or thank you gift. They offer gift cards and have offered basic gift-wrapping in the past (ribbon tied on the bag). They also host artisan markets to showcase some vendors. They gave me a postcard for an upcoming event, which includes food trucks. Sis and I stopped in on our way to the Downtown Anoka shops. But I found everything for my bday peeps here. No need to fight for off-street parking or the sidewalk sales crowd. Thank goodness!

Surprisingly, I've found prices on most items to be much more reasonable than I'd come to expect after a lifetime of suckling at the teat of Bibelot and Patina. Usually carries lots of cottage-y type furnishings and whatnot, but as of today, November 12, unless you want Christmas decorations, you might want to give this a pass until the new year. Don't get me wrong; they're very nice decorations and very affordable, ranging from embroidered tea towels to garland to crystal ornaments and larger decor, but that's pretty much ALL that was there today. I'll definitely be back, but only when it's no longer a Christmas store.

And items ranging in price so you're able to spend as little as $5 and get something cool. You can feel the care that goes into the products they sell there and they 100% but their money where their mouths are which is becoming more and more rare today. You won't be disappointed when you stop through, Bench Pressed for the win!

My girlfriend recommended we hit this boutique in Somerset while camping at Apple River. Cheryl ( I…read morebelieve was her name) enthusiastically welcomed us in. Told us about the deals she had going on and then let us alone to browse the rather large store. After a bit, she asked if she could help with outfit selections, etc. Then, she offered us a glass of wine for while we shopped! We had such a GREAT time browsing, mixing/matching clothing for our concert outfits. My sister has special needs, and I feel Cheryl picked up on that pretty quickly and was very sweet about how she dealt with her and helped her out. She found her an amazing outfit that really complemented her figure and age. All in all, we had such a fabulous experience and bought A LOT of cute clothes AND accessories!! I wish it were closer I'd have such a fabulous wardrobe!! And prices I thought were right in line if not a little more affordable than I had expected for a boutique. Wish we had taken photos of our outfits. I did get one of my sister
