Shelly's Gift & Christmas Boutique - Sarasota, Florida

Wonderful gift shop that has year-round Christmas decor and ornaments, along with seasonal items. The shop is very expansive and offers something for everyone. The staff is also very friendly but not overbearing to where they are all over you during the entirety of your visit.

Fun place to shop for gifts or seasonal decor that ranges from classy and timeless to the amusing. You can tell a lot of work goes into choosing their very large, unique inventory.
A very sweet woman was working alone at the time I walked in, and despite being an hour before closing, she was smiling away and made the shopping a fun experience.
The best way to describe this place is if you buy something there, it'll be the thing in your house where people stop and ask, "I love it. Where did you get that?"

Always love when I visit Shelly’s. The building is well maintained, The staff is top notch always being so kind and helpful. The variety in Christmas decorations is massive. My family has a tradition of exchanging Christopher Radko ornaments each year, Shelly’s has a great variety of radkos to choose from. After choosing the perfect ornament I went to the checkout line, the wait was very short and the gentleman who checked me out went above and beyond insuring that the ornaments were in good condition. Overall an amazing boutique with lovely people who make the holidays even better!

Disappointed- wanted to love this store but we were sold defective ornaments and the owner did not treat us nicely. She would not honor a refund for the broken ornaments and was unkind to us in conversation. Will not be returning for this reason.

Fabulous home decor items for all seasons as well as hosting occassions. If it's not there, ask her to order it for you!

Gorgeous store...

From the outside, the boutique is pretty much nondescript, the purple siding does catch your eye, but you might mistake it for one of the bigger houses in town if you're not looking carefully. Now, once you enter you are transported to a winter wonderland of Christmas - so much so - you might forget it might be the middle of the year. In our case, we showed up just over a week shy of Thanksgiving 2023, so the Christmas spirit was starting to build up in both my wife and I. It's what made showing up at this place that much more enjoyable.

They had what you would expect at a year-round Christmas shop - from the fancy to the kitschy - it was all there and I would say reasonably priced. The sales staff was super friendly and out-of-their-way helpful, it was fun just jawing with them and such.

Hopefully the locals are showing this place some love - especially during the holiday season - it would be well-deserved.
