You know the store that you always pass by and say that you are going to stop in one day soon? Well, I did that with HandPicked and picked up the cutest bracelet. A friend of mine picked up a nice necklace for her sister too. Both pieces were different and unique. I was told mine was hot off the presses...an item that had just been delivered to the store. While I loved it...it broke in a few weeks:( As far as I know my friend's gift to her sister is doing just fine.
Handpicked carries HP Originals (items made in limited quantities and handcrafted), trendy pieces, sterling silver, accessories and can even monogram appropriate jewelry.
The store's mission is to provide a fun environment which helps women express who they are or who they want to be. They do that...and the staff is helpful enough to assist guy's picking out something for their lady (which I witnessed firsthand) while at the store.
Oh and if you're lucky you can catch one of their sidewalk sales...if not just stop by to see their pretty windows. They have the best displays that catch your eye when cruising by or stopping in.
