Shelby here, with love for a wonderful local business – Talulah Jones – on 17th and Park Avenue in Uptown.
The minute you walk into this shop you feel at home. The women who run it are friendly and helpful and there is often a little shop dog chilling in a cozy corner. The interior design also makes it feel like home. It has a bohemian-glam aesthetic that reminds me of my house growing up.

Talulah Jones is my go-to place for any gift. I have a lot of baby showers in my life right now, and I will walk into the store and describe the mom-to-be and the person working will find the perfect gift to fit my friend. I also go there for non-baby, non-kid gifts. They have beautiful cards and wonderful gifts like unique cookbooks, interesting jewelry and clothes, and high-quality beauty products.

I used to get stressed out about having to get a gift for someone – I always want to find something meaningful but that can take a lot of time. Now I head straight to Talulah’s and I am at peace as soon as I walk in. And they have great gift-wrapping!
