AGAPANTHUS - Gainesville - Gainesville, Florida

L P

My husband and I visited this store today (Thursday afternoon) for the first time in the nearly 2 years that we've been in Florida and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of items under one roof.

There is plenty to look at from umbrellas in wine bottle-shaped cases to hand-crafted jewelry to useful (and ornamental) home goods. There is a large price range. The bigger artisan glass centerpieces are obviously not for anyone with a modest budget, but if you know the work that goes into that art, I can understand the price tag...

We were only supposed to be browsing while waiting for our order from Cheesecake Factory, but a pair of custom socks at the stand next to the counter caught my eye. The gray socks had "Worst Gift Ever" embroidered onto them next to a sad-looking sock sitting on steps. I decided that those would be PERFECT for a Dirty Santa gift exchange at work. (I was right - the gift recipient LOVED them!). I also bought motivational stickers to add to my holiday cards for decoration and a kitschy alligator pin for the lapel of my jacket.

At the checkout counter, I met the owner, Paula, who was very friendly, informative, and efficient. She even neatly gift wrapped the socks (how thoughtful!) since I mentioned that I was bringing them with me to my holiday office party later that afternoon. I will definitely be visiting this store again for gift ideas and to see the new seasonal items that Paula displays the next time we're in town. I'll tell my friends about this place so they can enjoy the interesting variety that this gift shop carries.

Thanks for making our first visit a pleasant and memorable experience!

So wonderful and an amazing array of beautiful quality gifts. ? I purchased a lovely candle and cool earrings for myself. Beautiful linen napkins for a dear friend and a blessings jar with lid for a family member. Sabrina asst. mgr was very sweet and Paula owner very nice. Every time we are in Gainesville we shop at your store. Thank you for a great and fun shopping experience!

I truly love everything about Agapanthus! It reminds me of a charming gift store I used to go while I lived in Europe. You can find a gift here for every occasion! The owner is kind, knowledgeable, and willing to do the extra mile if you need something that they don’t have in stock. I absolutely LOVE the complimentary gift wrap as well. Stop by if you can, and be amazed by the wonderful things that they store for you! ?

Lovely gift shop! Visited Gainesville on business but had a little quiet time to explore and found this gem. Will have it on my “Must Do” list for future visits.

A GAINESVILLE GEM! I went there for the first time this weekend looking for a gift for someone. I was so pleased with their inventory, from great candles to fancy handbags! Plus, the owner, Paula, was extremely kind and helpful – she even wrapped my gift beautifully for me. This is now my staple shop for gifts... for myself and for other people!
