Aunt Sadie’s

LOVE IT!!! Great store with great gifts. They often have great sales where you can gather a years worth of greetings cards for about ¼ of the price.
A fun stop if in the area.

Candles that smells great, packaged super chic and great for gifts are hard to find. Except that Aunt Sadie’s is the best place to get super cute candles, gifts among many other things.
Cool store with many amazing trinkets, candles and gift items. Everything are well priced and their merchandise are simply irresistible.
PS: Those tin candles make such great gifts!

Aunt Sadies is the perfect place to grab a little hostess gift. We always have one of their candles in our house somewhere. We love love love their «orange juice in a can» candle.

Cute shop with a ton of eclectic items for the home. They have a line of bizarre types of candles like beer, grass, etc.(most of which are a novelty but a couple actually smell good). Prices are fairly reasonable and the people are quite nice. Just a great shop in the South End.

aunt sadie’s is kind of like a spencer’s gifts for grown up women. there’s lots of cute stuff to touch, smell, ooh and aah over, and hold up to your friend (omg! look at this owl plate! it’s soooo cathy!). it’s a great place to shop for gifts, especially for the more domesticated women in your life. there’s also a fun section to the side with kitschy toys and knickknacks that will keep the bf busy while you browse.
they carry their own line of aunt sadie’s scented candles with an impressive variety of scents but other than that, most of their merchandise can be found at shops like anthroplogie, urban outfitters, and paper source. since i don’t live in the neighborhood, i’d be more likely to go out of my way to shop at aunt sadies if they carried more unique items and local designers.

If I could move in, I would. This boutique is full of great finds and more importantly comes with a sense of humor. You can certainly tell there was a very fabulous inspiration for this store.
I snagged a great framed print of a pink dress. It was tough choosing between the dress and antlers that said «Oh deer».
It’s hard to pop in here and leave empty handed. The prices are reasonable, the employees are great and the inventory is darling.

Aunt Sadie’s is the best little boutique store around. They have a fun, helpful staff («But I can’t decide on the candle scent I want! What’s your favorite? This one? Oooo, it is nice — I’ll take it!»), great little gifts («look! Isn’t this glass tea set precious?! Sister gets it for Xmas.») and the best selection of candles that come in a variety of scents and graphics printed on the outside («Ok, I have to get this one because it says summer and this one matches with our living room perfectly.»). I love all their home items and they have great sales («But do I NEED this birch bark bucket? I think I do! It’s only 10 bucks!»). It’s one of those places I go to just to browse and I always walk out with a must– have item. Bottom line? It’s just plain fun.

I love Aunt Sadie’s for unabashed kitsch (x-​mas decs a month before Thanksgiving… yesssss!), down-​home-​goodness (remember crêpe paper party favor balls from being a kid? They actually sell those!), and blatantly expensive but gorgeous gifts. I love going in there and just craving everything around me, from the $ 15 soy candles that smell like pure heaven, to the cute French inspired home goods and trendy reusable tote bags. Totally South End!

I am totally addicted to this shop for a number of reasons.
As mentioned before, their candles are truely the shizzle. While they have great gifts, cards, e.t.c., their holiday decorations are my second favorite thing to shop for.
Be sure to hit up their sales, where you can get candles for cheap (usually they have some minor dent or ding in the tin).
Best part is that they are always friendly, even if you are just window shopping.

so proud of this place. if you love candles like my roommate and i you will be a fan of this spot. I live in the south end so i am partial. when i first got one of these candles as a gift I was surprised how cute they are. perfect presents… also cute guys work there!

Really cute shop with all sorts of candles, cards, soaps and other items for the home. It’s really perfect for housewarming and hostess gifts, or if you’re planning a theme dinner party.
The store is organized by color which is kitschy and cute.
*Just went in the other day and it looks like they’re planning on opening a second store with similarly sassy items for sale…

Entering Aunt Sadie’s is like visiting your kickass cool-​as-​shit grandma’s house, which she occasionally likes to decorate with stuff from Anthropologie.
Even though some of it is not my style (too shabby chic, or vintage French, or whatever that genre is being called these days), it’s definitely one of my top favorite go-​to stores for when I’m in need of a gift.
And the resident puppy that is sometimes napping in the corner? Adorable!

This is a fun store, with more than just candles. Unique gifts, and quite a range– things for babies, boxer-​briefs, soaps, stuffed animals, cute little knick-​nacs and housewares, and of course, fun scented candles. A really fun store to browse around in as you’re walking around the South End.
Actually– unless I don’t know they have a second store, the address should read Boston, MA– it is in the South End, off of Tremont Street. The Union St part is correct.

I’m pretty sure this is in the South End, not Roxbury.
This store is super cute. Lots of kitschy pseudo vintage stuff, books, crafts, candles, adorable buttons and mugs, holiday music, a whole host of snacky things that shoppers can try, tinsel christmas trees, lots of adorably quirky stuff for babies, high quality scented candles and soaps, photography books…
Very quirky and cute while maintaining a level of originality that a lot of stores selling to a similar demographic seem to lack. I like it when crafty or homemade aren’t used as an excuse for lacking in quality, and Aunt Sadies doesn’t seem to rest on its laurels when it comes to those things.

A birthday present for my friend who LOVES chocolate in any way, shape or form VS. a Chocolate scented candle
Who makes birthday shopping easy as mud pie? the spirit of Aunt Sadie (which supposedly lives in each candle)
Chocolate scented candle = exquisitely DIVINE scent! If this candle had been lying around my apt and didn’t have a wick in it, I would have ended up with a mouth full of wax because of the huge ol’ bite that would have resulted…
Huge selection of hand poured candles, much classier and better fragranced than typical candles sold in discount bins.
Plus, lots of other typical boutique items, a little pricey but hey, you’re on the Southend! Support local business!

I have the pleasure of cutting one of the owners’ hair of this unique store in the South End. I finally made it down to see for myself and I really did fall in love with the place and was surprised to see so many more wonderful things besides very cool aroamatic candles. I love the way the items are displayed within a certain color group. Keep up the wonderful flavorful/​scent-​filled work.

Not Roxbury!!! It’s south end.
Love this store. It is perfect for UNIQUE gifts (hostess gifts, birthday gifts, etc…) Some of the décor is a little garish, but overall it’s so fun. Baby stuff, home décor, coffee table books, and great candles (which you can also buy at Anthropologie now FYI)

This is a very cute store with lots of great gift/​spoil yourself ideas. It’s a great way to kill some time and browse for things you can’t really find in mainstream stores.
So if you have a house warming, birthday, anniversary, new baby or just plain «you are my friend» gift giving occasion apporaching, i would swing by. they lost that last star for high prices, so heads up.

I love browsing in Aunt Sadies, longing for the day I can afford to buy the whole store out. They’ve always got neat and weird things to buy (Indian Curry toothpaste! Hello!). The only downside is that they are rather pricey– but I keep having to remind myself I’m in the South End– everything in the South End is pricey.
Plus, best collection of Eiffel tower stuff in all of Boston!

This is a fun place to come in and browse or shop for unique gifts. They always have some interesting stuff and you are sure to find something a little out of the ordinary. Some of their prices are a little insane, but for some things, it’s fairly reasonable. Anyone I’ve ever gotten a gift for from Aunt Sadie’s loved it.
Reyelp/​Update: I bought a chocolate scented candle at Aunt Sadie’s last month and wow. This thing is awesome. First of all, it’s in a cute tin and looks good. Secondly, it actually smells like chocolate when it’s burning. I light the candle now after dinner so it burns while I am having coffee or an after dinner drink, and honestly, smelling it makes you almost feel like you are eating chocolate. This is probably super weird, but I don’t even feel like having dessert anymore because you feel like you are enjoying chocolate when you burn this candle, even though you are not actually eating it.
