AGAPANTHUS - Gainesville

"We went there yesterday for the first time. I was really looking forward to going into this boutique! I had wanted to go so many times, but never made it in on the weekends that we were here for the games but I don’t know if it was the owner yesterday, but she snapped at me when I ask her about the price of some things, it was hard to tell the prices of some of the things that I was wanting to purchase, but I can tell you one thing right now, I don’t care if G-D came down and brought the things into this boutique, I will never step foot in there again, based on the woman that snapped at me ! And it wasn’t like they were busy to help customers in there yesterday, because there was only one couple and then the two of us so there were only four people in that store that were looking at and possibly shopping. I found several companies, and I’ve managed several corporations and companies, and I would never treat anybody the way she treated me."

"A GAINESVILLE GEM! I went there for the first time this weekend looking for a gift for someone. I was so pleased with their inventory, from great candles to fancy handbags! Plus, the owner, Paula, was extremely kind and helpful – she even wrapped my gift beautifully for me. This is now my staple shop for gifts... for myself and for other people!"

"Excellent service and a nice variety of selection without being overwhelming. I always find something to suit the occasion here. The staff are wonderful."

"My husband and I visited this store today (Thursday afternoon) for the first time in the nearly 2 years that we've been in Florida and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of items under one roof. There is plenty to look at from umbrellas in wine bottle-shaped cases to hand-crafted jewelry to useful (and ornamental) home goods. There is a large price range. The bigger artisan glass centerpieces are obviously not for anyone with a modest budget, but if you know the work that goes into that art, I can understand the price tag... We were only supposed to be browsing while waiting for our order from Cheesecake Factory, but a pair of custom socks at the stand next to the counter caught my eye. The gray socks had "Worst Gift Ever" embroidered onto them next to a sad-looking sock sitting on steps. I decided that those would be PERFECT for a Dirty Santa gift exchange at work. (I was right - the gift recipient LOVED them!). I also bought motivational stickers to add to my holiday cards for decoration and a kitschy alligator pin for the lapel of my jacket. At the checkout counter, I met the owner, Paula, who was very friendly, informative, and efficient. She even neatly gift wrapped the socks (how thoughtful!) since I mentioned that I was bringing them with me to my holiday office party later that afternoon. I will definitely be visiting this store again for gift ideas and to see the new seasonal items that Paula displays the next time we're in town. I'll tell my friends about this place so they can enjoy the interesting variety that this gift shop carries. Thanks for making our first visit a pleasant and memorable experience!"

"I went today for the first time to get a shampoo and blow out, it was WONDERFUL! The products they use made my dry, highlighted hair feel so healthy. After that, I spent at least an hour walking around looking at the beautiful, unique items in the store. This will definitely be my “go to” for gifts. The staff was so nice and friendly...I can’t recommend this place enough❤️"
