The Cottage Shop

Best gift shop in Savannah for all things weddings. Beautiful store, wonderful employees, and great selection. They also do custom invitations and calligraphy! Both were incredible.

Best gift shop in Savannah! You owe yourself a visit to the Shop, to see the bright new displays and sense the renewed creativity that new owner, Haley Suthers, is bringing to this iconic store!

The cutest shop in all of Georgia and even better was the kind southern ladies that run the shop. Truly a hidden gem in Savannah.

Thrilled to have my bride-to-be daughter's wedding registry at the lovely Cottage Shop where I registered 34 years ago!

Everyone is so kind and their selection is lovely. Wonderful store!

Great staff and great products!

Perfect!

Having just moved to Savannah from California I am eager to get to know my area. The shops, the restaurants; all of it. We are curious and exploring. Getting to know the Cottage Shop was a reminder that not all of the "Old South" is gone. First of all, possibly the most unwelcoming store I have been inside of in recent memory. Knocking several times to be let in. Only to have someone answer and almost reluctantly let us inside. And then, I was followed around the store. I would like to tell you that this was because the proprietor was interested in us and wanted to help. But that would be a rose colored tint I am not prepared to see through. I am of color. I was followed around the store in a way that I know. I know the motivation and belief system that causes store personnel to follow me, ask me repeatedly if I "need help", or simply just eye me suspiciously. I was offended and despite the beautiful merchandise (we wanted to buy the set of steak knives we saw--we later bought them from Williams and Sonoma) I bought nothing. I want them to starve for business and hopefully eventually go where racism needs to go...away.

I love the cottage shop! This is your old-school style gift shop with great staff to help you. Extremely historic building way older than its surroundings is super cute. Also it's in the Starland Neighborhood, which is super cool.

The Cottage Shop is a Savannah institution. Housed in a historic building, it has an excellent selection of gifts from baby to linens to china. The housewares selection is always artfully displayed and their wooden salad bowls and servers are my favorite choice for wedding gifts. Many local brides and deb register at the Cottage Shop and it is the go to place for fine stationary. Staff is very attentive to details and their gift wrapping is beautiful. I would not shop anywhere else for special gifts for special people.

First of all, they keep the door locked. We had to knock and be let in. When my wife asked why, the owner told her that they keep the "riff raff" out. That should have been our first clue. The neighborhood looked fine to us, and we certainly didn't see any "riff" or "raff" about. We were hoping to find a gift for a friend who is celebrating a special anniversary, and the owner questioned us much too heavily about how much we wanted to spend. Price wasn't our main concern, we just wanted a great gift. When the owner realized we weren't going to tell her our budget, she became rude and actually said, "I prefer to sell to those who are willing to pay for quality. I don't think I'll be able to help you today" Those were her actual words. Needless to say, we took our business elsewhere. Namely - Folklorico or Bull St. And, if the owner of the dump called Cottage Shop is reading this: we spent over $225 at Folklorico.
