The Best Hidden Shops in Atlanta

Atlanta is a great location for finding some under the radar shopping. Of course we have the big box stores, but what I personally love are the locally owned boutiques. If you're planning a trip to Atlanta any time soon, here are the best hidden shops in Atlanta:

For Beauty Lovers: Fig & Flower - Fig & Flower is Atlanta's first all natural beauty store. Not only does this shop have a fabulous selection of natural makeup, but they offer application and even makeup bag clean-outs where Sara, the owner, walks you through what to keep and what to toss. 

For Gifts & Goodies: The Merchant - The Merchant is like it's own little gift gallery. Filled will wall to wall stationery, coffee mugs, jewelry, and more, you're bound to find something you want (or need?). 

For Children's Goods: Sugarboo & Co - Even though Sugarboo & Co has oodles more than just children's gifts, their section for the kiddos is not to be missed. I'm partial to Atlanta's own Little Lux necklace line. 

For Home Decor: Steve McKenzie's - Located on Atlanta's Westside Design District, Steve McKenzie's has a well-curated selection of home decor, pottery, and exclusive textiles. Owners Jill & Steve McKenzie have really thought about what to carry, and it shows. Plus, Steve's art studio is in the loft space upstairs where he paints originals for the shop and beyond.
