I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and whenever I am in MA to visit friends, I always have to go to Quint Essentials in Salem on Pickering Wharf. They are very affordable and that is so important in todays economy. The merchandise is very unique as well. I always pick up gifts for my family and friends. They love it when I go to MA because they can’t wait to see what I will bring them back from Quint Essentials. Dianne and David Saia and their staff are all very personable, knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help with your needs. Try Quint Essentials, you won’t be disappointed!

I recently visited the Golden Hanger Consignment Boutique on Cabot Street in downtown Beverly at the request of several friends who have been shopping there for years…. What was I waiting for… bargains abound !!! Designer Clothing and accessories from Neiman Marcus for a fraction of the price !!!! I bought a Burberry Rain Coat and Coach Purse that looked Brand New, for 1/3 of what I would have paid in a specialty boutique in Boston…

Julie Smith’s belts are just FANTASTIC!! It’s an excellent present for all ages, just modify the print to match the person! Or, for the teenage set, let them “Design a Belt” with a gift certificate. It was fun for me to watch as they had a blast playing with the different combination possibilities, and then when the product arrived, wear their personally designed belt with pride. Also, I have found the service to be over the top!
Check it out!
April 25, 2009 at 1:17 pm
