This photo describes Amaze Boutique & Gifts perfectly. A great place to find great presents for yourself or a girlfriend. The first time I went into the store my intention was to check it out quickly and then get my grocery shopping done across the street at Price Chopper. Let’s just say the grocery shopping didn’t happen because I spent too much time being amazed and taking it all in. Owner, Amy Hopper offers amazing merchandise. I have featured a few of my favorite things currently in their store.
This vintage Christmas tree reminds me of our first Christmas tree growing up in the late 60’s and 70’s. I love vintage items and these pillows are adorable.
I love Pickwick candles. I like the clean and simple packaging, their scents and they burn well. They are made locally and Amaze is one of the few places I have found that sells them. They also sell some very unique journals which is also one of my favorite things.
Curly Girl Designs and Artist, Kelly Rae Roberts merchandise can also be found at Amaze. I love their fun artwork and inspirational quotes. You can also find all sorts of fun plaques.
Clothing and all sorts of accessories like hats, scarves, purses and jewelry are also sold at Amaze.
These sterling silver cross bracelets would make a very personal gift for someone special and can be engraved with a favorite Bible verse. Melanie Bremer, aka Hammering Red Head, engraves them. Please allow plenty of time for personalizing though if it’s a gift, especially this time of year. Melanie also offers charms that can be personalized with favorite words or family members names.
Amaze boutique carries the Waxing Poetic jewelry line which is beautiful. They offer an assortment of insignia charms and chains crafted of sterling silver and mixed metals. I love charm bracelets and necklaces. I’ve worn them since I was a kid. I have the voyager letter D and the owl charm that I wear on a gold necklace. One of the mixed metal chains is next on my wish list.
I hope I’ve enticed you enough to visit Amaze Boutique. They have three locations and the store at 135th & Quivira just moved around the corner. They are in the same strip center, but now face 135th St. next to JR’s BBQ . The other locations are 9460 Renner in Lenexa and 2123 E. 151st in Olathe. I will notify the winner of the $25 gift card and you will need to decide which store you’d like to visit to claim your prize. This offer is open to Kansas City area residents only.

I love the little signs with darling sayings! My husband got me one for the bathroom that says “changing the toilet paper will not cause brain damage” 🙂 and there’s a great smoothie place a few doors down if you’d like a treat !!

Yes, Smoothie King is just a few doors down. My family loves their smoothies! 🙂

Thanks Dawn for posting, I’ve always wanted to stop in there but never have. After looking at the pictures and reading your blog I need to go….. My favorite gift to give is something I make from my kitchen. I love baking/cooking/creating.
Shari LaLaine says
Oh my goodness Dawn ~ I’m loving your favorite places! I’m so excited to check out Amaze Boutique! Thank you for sharing!
And… my favorite thing to give is – I love to make jewelry. Earrings are my favorite gift to make and give and I love using Swarovski Crystals.
Also, I want to tell you, I LOVE your Blog! I look forward to reading it every day. Not just because of your Favorite Things Week – but, because I’m getting to know you and realizing how much we have in common. THANK YOU!
Shari LaLaine says
Oh…and I ‘liked’ Amaze Boutiques on facebook 🙂
Crystal Wayward says
Liked! Thanks for introducing me to an adorable local boutique! My favorite gifts to give are unique items like what it seems Amaze stocks, as well as handmade or custom gifts that incorporate photos or something close to the recipient’s heart.
Mary Agnes Wilson says
I love Amaze…I have a plaque from there that I bought for my daughter that says “I love you to the moon and back.” We say it every night to each other before we go to bed 🙂
Anne Putnam says
I love Amaze as well, I find it is a great place close to home that I can always find a gift for myself or a friend. I think the first time I went in was with you!! 🙂 I liked their page too today!
Suzy Ayres says
I love Amaze! It is my favorite “go to” store for gifts and have also found some cute clothes. They even offer birthday parties. Lauren and her friends would love it! They can decorate frames, mirrors, make jewelry, you name it!
Angela says
I drive by Amaze regularly and always SAY I am going to stop in to see them, but just never make the effort. TODAY is my day. Thanks for posting the great pictures.
My favorite things to give as gifts are usually jewelry. just fun jewelry. I have three daughters, so each year I have to find something that is the same, yet unique to them, if that makes sense at all. I was lucky this year and found the perfect little stretchy skull bracelets and an adjustable wire bracelet with charms that have special meaning that pertains to their individual life journey. I think they will love them. Bracelets are something that are always visible when you are driving, using your computer, writing, whatever…and I want them to always be reminded of their mama’s support.

I love Amaze, always neat and unique jewelry. Their mercury glass home decor is great this year.
Becky says
I bought myself some initial charms at Amaze about a year ago, and I think I need some more! I love to give candles, books, jewelry, home accessories – things I like to receive too!
Tracy says
I haven’t been in their store for awhile, but I do remember them having a lot of very unique things! I liked their facebook page!
Kyra says
I love AMAZE!! Since I discovered this store it has become my “go to “place when I’m looking for something nice and different =)

I particularly like their “stamped charms”… LOVELY!!!
