A gift shop on the strip, and one charm on the house every time you buy something.

Jewelry, women's apparel, candles, soaps and gourmet food in one small room in downtown Excelsior Springs. Everything in the shop has a price on it, most of it is under forty dollars, and every purchase leaves with a charm you pick out of the tray by the register.

Open since 2023 · Locally owned · Wrapping is free and we will do it while you wait

123 Main St, Excelsior Springs Most of the shop under $40 A free charm with every purchase

What we carry

Six things, and about four hundred of them are jewelry.

This is a small shop and it does not pretend to be a department store. What it is good at is the twenty dollar gift you needed by four o'clock: a necklace, a candle that does not smell like a candle aisle, a jar of something local, a card that is not from a rack of four hundred cards. If you tell us who it is for and what you want to spend, we will hand you three things and you will pick one.

PLACEHOLDER: lit glass jewelry case shot from above, layered chain necklaces on velvet risers, stud and hoop earrings on a card display, stacking rings in a shallow tray, price tags visible

Jewelry

The largest part of the shop and the reason most people come back. Layering chains, studs, hoops, stacking rings and a birthstone drawer. Nothing in the case needs to be special ordered and nothing in the case is over eighty dollars.

from $14

PLACEHOLDER: shallow wooden tray of small metal charms on the shop counter beside the register, a hand reaching in to pick one, jump rings and a small pair of pliers next to the tray

The charm tray

Every purchase gets one, at any price. You pick it, we put it on, and it takes about a minute. People bring visiting family in specifically to do this, which was not the plan when we started it.

In the shop

Four corners of one small room.

The whole shop is about eight hundred square feet, which matters if you are deciding whether it is worth the drive up Thompson. It is one room, it takes fifteen minutes to see properly, and there is parking on the street directly out front.

The shop

Open since 2023, and findable since about ten minutes ago.

Owner name goes here opened this shop in the fall of 2023 after years of doing craft shows out of the back of a car, and the charm tray came along from those shows because it was the thing people remembered. It is still the thing people remember.

The reason this page exists is that until now the shop was split across two Facebook pages under two spellings of its own name, so half of the photos and half of the reviews were attached to a page most people never saw. One name, one address, one set of hours, in a place a search engine can read. That is the whole point of it.

Owner name goes here, Excelsior Springs

Hours

  • Tuesday to Friday11 to 4:30
  • Saturday10 to 4:30
  • Sunday and MondayClosed

Closed Sunday and Monday, which is the fact most people get wrong because two directory sites still have us open seven days. If you are driving more than twenty minutes, call first and somebody will answer. We will hold something at the counter for two days if you ask, and we will open early or stay late for a wedding party or a funeral if you call ahead.
