Planning my boyfriend's birthday surprise the weekend before Christmas was made effortless by the caring staff of this, his favorite boutique! I pre-ordered a gift certificate to be wrapped and waiting when I took him on a last minute "detour" on the way to his black-tie martial arts awards ceremony. Upon arrival everyone greeted us warmly, using his name, which floored him since he hadn't been in in a while. I beamed as they presented him with the envelope...he was so surprised he couldn't speak! The next day they greeted us again with champagne and excellent service as he chose his birthday gift from among their stylish selections. Wish we could do this all the time! Thank you to the owner for choosing wonderful staff who care enough to make the magic happen...
