Bibelot

A great little gift store on grand avenue in St. Paul with a wide variety of clever gift items. I find myself making the trek from the west side at least once a year, usually for the holidays, and always find a few clever stocking stuffers and small gifts for family and friends.
The also sell hand made jewelry and women’s clothing along with toys, and hundreds of carefully chosen items in a wide variety of prices. You can easily spend 30 minutes or more browsing the collection as it is a bit of a treasure hunt with the large amount of items displayed in little clusters of shelves around the modest sized store.
Parking on the street can be tight but if you are a bit patient, you can find a spot.

No its not a bible shop! Gifts galore, things you don’t need and fun ideas the basis of this store! The lowdown:
Thumbs up:
–Multiple locations
–Fun, unique gift ideas
–Generally friendly staff
–Free gift wrapping
–Variety is there though not as much as Patina
Thumbs down:
–This location’s parking can be a pain
–Kinda pricy for «needless» stuff
–Not as cool, variety, pretty gift wrapping as other fun gift shops, but it will do.
Be back if other options aren’t available or nearby.

The adorable lighted window dressings drew me in. It feels so festive. I love it.
Sam and I walked in here earlier today with entirely the wrong idea of what to expect. Apparently we need to invest in a dictionary.
The store was tearing at the seams with Christmas paraphernalia. I know it’s too early for some people to be excited about Christmas, but not for us. We perused all of the sections and found little figurines, tree scented room sprays, a bottle opener that looks like a wrench. Just fun stuff.
The prices here were kind of all over the place. For example, a pair of socks cost $ 14.99 and the wrench bottle opener was $ 5.00. Some ornaments were $ 50, figurines were $ 20. My feet aren’t pretty enough for socks that expensive, but my neck is nice enough for the damn awesome moose scarf!
The far side of the store is all clothes and I didn’t bother exploring over there. I just happened to see if while I was admiring that frickin’ moose scarf.
Some of the items here were the same that you find at Patina or any other gift store in the area.
The employees here were very nice and the new girl that rung up my items was super helpful.
It was a fun store and I have a feeling I will be back many many times in the near future. If for anything it will be for the scarf. The moose scarf.
Moose.
Scarf.

Everything you could ever need for a last minute gift. Really great place to blow some time walking around and checking out all the quirky nick nacks.
Usually the first stop in finding a unique gift.

First of all, this is the best place to take out of towners. Just open the door and let them loose!
I found the perfect combo if «said friends/​family» have kids. Husbands take the kids to Creative Kidstuff while girls shop Bibelot.
Bibelot has it all. Knick knacks, gag gifts, soul-​full gifts, toys, clothing, jewelry etc.
My stapes here are Christmas ornaments every year, Advent calendars, greeting cards, baby gifts. I could go on and on.
Special Note; my little boys HAVE to stop in at Christmastime to look in the heating vent/​grate on the floor to see the lighted up Santa’s workshop below. They love it! Ok I do too.

I love Bibelot. There are so many cute gift ideas and kitchen gadgets. This is a great place to come if you need any stocking stuffers.
I usually go to the Bibelot on Como Ave in St. Anthony Park, but I really like the location on Grand. It is one level instead of two and the staff are very friendly. This is the perfect place to browse and buy gifts for everyone in the family.

So darling. I visit this store every time I visit MN. Their jewelry, cards & gifts are entirely unique. Love that.

Fun shopping experience, and if you are lucky enough to meet Eric, you can expect exceptional customer service too. Hope to visit again.

If you have $ 60 burning a hole in your pocket, and some extra room on your tchotchke shelf, go in this store and buy something. There’s fun and «useful» kitchen items, boutique-​y fragranced candles and lotions, and a fanciful children’s section. The jewelry is pretty and one-​of-​a-​kind looking and there’s a clothing section in this branch.
Also, great cards (although I like Patina’s better) and gift ideas for people who you have no idea what to get.

Cute little shop located on Grand Ave… Starbucks is right down the street if your looking to grab a cup of Joe before heading in. This shop carries all sorts of specialty gifts and unique trinkets. This shop updates their décor pretty regularly, so you don’t see all the same items all year. They carry gifts and accessories from Anne Taintor… I’m a fan of their line of small products. It is fun to visit around Christmastime, they always seem to carry really cool and interesting gift wrap… Not something you’ll find at Target. Their staff is very friendly, and the store always seems to be busy. If you are in the area, you should for sure check it out!

This place is great for shopping for Mom, Grandma, or a girlfriend. They have cool hand-​made jewelery that I have bought for my mom and sister and both of them get alot of compiments on there jewelery from there. I always get my mothers day gifts from Bibelot and she is always very appreciative of the gifts that come from Bibelot. There is alot cool stuff at this shop.

Minnesota Unilocalers, WAKE UP!!! Why are you leaving all the reviews of Bibelot to your California cousins?
This is a great place to shop for toys, books, housewares, jewelry, clothes, candles – even bedroom slippers that double as dust mops. Entertain yourself while you check out all they have to offer. I guarantee any gift you buy from here will be welcomed by the recipient. Or, indulge yourself and buy yourself a present.

Uh, oh… I’m in California, too. And I’m reviewing Bibelot. BUT, in my defense– I’m FROM Minnesota originally, and I have actually been to Bibelot. So, it’s kind of a wash, right? ;)
Anyway, my sister introduced me to Bibelot. Cute little gifts and things here. I have a funky coffee mug that says something about my birthday. also got a couple of fun, retro-​looking magnets here. Definitely not the kind of stuff you’d find at, say, Target. But that’s a good thing.

This is a great place to pick up a gift for a friend, sister, mother — even yourself. Bibelot carries a wide selection of decorative housewares, funny gifts, candles, travel gear, the Thymes line, jewelry and more. I stop here during my yearly visit to St. Paul and always find something for myself to bring home.
There’s also a large clothing selection on one side of the store. The clothes are a little on the yarn-​y side, but if you’re into big yarn-​y sweaters, get excited.
