Blue Leaf

This place is okay.
I went in thinking that I could find an inexpensive hostess gift and was sorely disappointed. The cheapest thing I could find were some paper napkins embossed with initials for $ 10ish. They were okay, but not phenomenal so I didn’t end up buying them. I did like their furniture and dish ware selection. Compared to other boutique stores in the area, this just sort of lacked a solid character.
May come back here if I’m in need of new house décor. Otherwise, I don’t see myself coming back.

Quick shipping, packaged as if I had gone to the store, great communication re: purchase and shipping!

My new fav place to buy gifts! Tons of candles, jewelry & Knick-​knacks! Love Franny & the staff… Extremely helpful! I even bought a SNOWING CHRISTMAS TREE here which everyone loves!

Not at all like the wonderful old location in Rice Village. This one is more china, crystal and small (but expensive) gifts. No real selection of furniture to speak of. I had looked forward to Blue Leaf’s return. I was so disappointed.

For a one of a kind shopping experience GO TO BLUE LEAF! The variety makes it a fun store for everyone! For adults shopping to furnish their homes to their teens looking for fun gifts Blue Leaf has anything and everything inbetween.
The second story of the store has an incredible collection of Bella Notte bedding and Pinecone Hill linens as well. Blue Leaf is one of the few stores that carries Madame Alexander dolls and other timeless collectables.

I’ve passed by Blue Leaf many (many) times on my way to Sephora, and once the word «stationery» registered in my mind (it’s above the Blue Leaf windows – no other words really registered), I hopped my way in.
Blue Leaf is remniscent of Kuhl-​Linscomb – there are furniture and home trimmings, but gifts and knickknacks. To the wall on the far left, you have your fancy schmancy lotions (e.g. Mor, Jo Malone) and stationery (Vera Wang, Kate Spade, Crane & Co.). With Kuhl-​Linscomb, you definitely get the feeling that you’re in a retail space. However, with the dim lighting, preponderance of dark wood furniture, and smaller second level, which sometimes doesn’t have anyone working up there, I felt like I was in the «castle» in «My Little Princess.» Wait – isn’t that a horse? What’s that book/​movie where the girl is up in a tower, but pretends she’s a princess, and turns out to be a princess, never mind that that story line runs in just about every fairy tale? «A Little Princess»! Thank you, Google.
There are two staircases, one in the middle and one on the right. One has fun notebooks at the bottom of the staircase. I now own a glittery moose notebook (kitsch is always cool) and a cherry blossom notebook. Though, I had bought some cherry blossom paper and a blank notebook at Paper Source, determined to make my own notebooks, only to realize that had cost more than the one from Blue Leaf. Damn. On the second floor, you have individual greeting cards, gifts for your dog, fun/​tacky gifts, books, perfume, smaller and more expensive gifts (such as a hand-​carved chess set – more than a grand is all I remember), and things to go on your bed (excluding Fabio).
Blue Leaf is fun to browse, though it gives me various heart-​attack inducing moments (oh, that looks nice *flips over to look at price tag* ack, ack, okay, time to go look at some cards).

This is like Bering’s gift section on steroids. Found the most awesome, gorgeous and unique Christmas tree skirt at ½ price here one January & we’ve been enjoying it around the bottom of our tree ever since.
All kinds of beautiful things.
Very friendly staff, too.
– Had to edit this & say it’s not just a furniture store by a long shot. They have stationery, knick-​knacks, jewelry, toys and other gifts. Never thought of this place as a furniture store after walking in. More of a fabulous gift shop.
