Ever Jane Boutique

Ever Jane Boutique (EJB) is one of my favorite stores in Coastal Virginia! Tucked away in the Edinburgh area in Chesapeake, it's located right next to the Barrel Room in the complex of businesses across the street from Target. EJB is an all around feel good shop. When I need a mood booster or when I am looking for a gift, I go there. It's kinda like that shop in the malls that was called Spencer's except this is his witty, sophisticated older sister who has the same family sense of humor, but classy. The owner and her staff are just the sweetest people and they genuinely love to see you come in whether you are coming in to take a look around or on a mission to get some retail therapy!This shop is PACKED with so many goodies that it's hard to see it all in one visit. They change the layout of the store quite often. Every time you go, I notice something new and I love that things are sold in limited quantities except for a few items and brands. Keeps things fresh. The owner likes to do her own retail therapy by shopping for the store and sometimes, she'll only buy a limited quantity and once that item is gone, it's gone!This isn't an exhaustive list, but these are some of the things you can find:- the round table in front will have some themed display depending on the time of year (Black History Month, Women's History Month, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Pride, Halloween, Christmas etc etc.)- women's clothing and fun(ny) t-shirts - jewelry (lot of it made by local artists)- mugs and wine glasses with funny quotes - kids section with adorable books about important historical figures- greeting cards (not your ordinary cards)- self affirmation journals and notebooks- coasters with the funniest sayings on them- oven mitts and kitchen towels- lots of fun gift bags and tissue paperand so much more! Take a look at the pics, because that will give you a better idea. Every time I am in need of a gift, EJB is my first stop! There is literally something for everyone, (unless they have no sense of humor). I did go in there once in search of a gift for my kid's teacher and then I held back. I didn't know her THAT well and my kid was STILL in her class. Maybe end of year gift? LOLAnyway, you should definitely stop by but if you can't, take a look online because they also ship!They have several shop events throughout the year and they also collaborate with other local businesses to provide a collective discount or prize and makes supporting local fun! Also, don't forget to look in the bag for a little envelope. You won't want to throw that out!Pro-tip: They just recently started offering a rewards program, so be sure to sign up for those! Stay safe, Friends!

Discovered this place through a Yelp event. I didn't get a chance to attend the event but has since followed them on Instagram. This store is so quirky and tons of tasteful adult humor. Lots of great gift ideas. It's also really adorable. It's clean. It's spacious. It's has a really good vibe. They sell everything but food and electronics. They sell clothes, candles, mugs, ornaments, greeting cards, anything you can put a quote or meme on. Customer service was great. I was greeted the minute I came in. I was helped the entire hour that I was lost in store. The employee even recommended I checked out clearance, which I can appreciate. I learned that they do local pickup. You can order on their website and then pick the option to pick up instead of ship. I also learned that they keep their website pretty updated with close to the same sales as in stores. I drove 45min from Virginia Beach to check out this store. In my personal opinion, I don't see how a cool store like this can thrive in a very conservative suburbs. However the employee said business is booming. I can see this store being a great addition to Selden Market in downtown Norfolk or the Vibe District by Virginia Beach Ocean Front. Although you can order online, there are thousands of online boutique similar to this. I found the same products for cheaper at other boutiques online. I probably won't be making the trip to this store again because I don't really have any need to be in Hillcreast Chesapeake. However, it is a great store for those nearby and Chesapeake needs a cool store.

How cute is this place!!! I'm super excited the owner came back!!!! They were originally Mainly Grey! I seriously had to do laps around the store! Trust me...every turn you find something new that you didn't see before!! Accessories. Funny socks and towels. Stickers. Shirts. Dresses. Cards. You name it they have it. Well, a cuter and funnier version of it. Staff was awesome! Parking available. Dressing rooms and sitting area are available as well! Check out their social media for more updates!

This place is awesome! I walked in on a Saturday early afternoon and it just felt so familiar. They had a ton of fun, fresh trinkets throughout the store. I noticed they had racks of clothing that were on clearance. It wasn't until we were about to leave that I relaxed why it looked so familiar.. the owner, Catherine Brink, had a store similar to this years ago, Mainly Gray. Same vibe. Same customer service. The ladies were super helpful and friendly. I can't wait to come back, I've already got a mental list going on on my head!

What a gem of a gift shop!! I've been looking for a unique gift shop for quite some time and finally found an awesome one today! You can literally spend an hour here and not even know where the time went. There's so many fun treasures here! Unique cards, gifts, clothing, self care items, etc. Great humorous items and also items that celebrate women and different cultures. I love that everything is special and there are so many hand crafted creations. The customer service is top notch. I was greeted immediately and everyone was genuinely nice and helpful there. They had great suggestions and weren't pushy and didn't hover.I confirmed that this shop receives new items DAILY so I'll definitely be back! I love the hunt and this destination will satisfy that need.
