The Cottage 562B Ritchie Highway, Severna Park, MD 21146

"Today I made an exchange at the cottage. I was struggling with understanding the return and new purchase, because I also had a birthday credit mixed in with my original purchase. The person who waited on me and someone else who I believe might have been a manager were very helpful with explaining this to me and walking me through my refund. I appreciate their time and patience when I was feeling frustrated at not understanding. I have always enjoyed the products at the cottage and the people who work there."

"I was running late for a birthday party, and needed a last minute gift. I called ahead and asked if they had kids’ gifts. By the time I got to the store, they had picked out some amazing gifts for me to choose from (since I was crunched for time), a beautiful card, and even gift wrapped it all for me! Wonderful store and even better customer service!"

"Adorable boutique/shop! Perfect for gifts. Definitely pricey but can find some unique items. Great if you’re looking for things that are Maryland themed."

"What a wonderful experience! I went into The Cottage for the first time Yesterday to Xmas shop for my 14 yr old daughter. I was greeted warmly by the young lady at the front counter. I asked to see earrings and she showed me all they had to offer. I ended up purchasing two pair, as well as two bracelets, a magnet and a Spongelle gift pack. The other associates were also pleasant. They boxed and gift bagged my purchases at checkout and sent me off with a smile. I will definitely return just because of the amazing customer service!"

"This is a great gift shop - always has been. Very unique selection of items and the staff has always been helpful. Sometimes I just stop in when I'm in the area whether I need anything or not, bc it's always fun to look around. Been coming in here for years and really appreciate having a unique independent shop when I need a gift for any occasion."
