West Buckhead's quintessential cottage shop: part gift store, part nursery and part antique shop.

The Scene
Atlantans turn to this ivy-covered cottage for tasteful gifts, from pink taffeta baby books to creamy white orchids. The cozy rooms are loosely divided by theme, such as silver and tabletop, men, baby and kitchen. A courtyard full of garden statuary leads to surprisingly large nursery areas and a charming, old-fashioned conservatory. During peak seasons, the shop hums like a beehive with shoppers of all ages.

The Goods
Boxwoods' gift selection runs from trendy to classic, with items like chenille teddy bears, leather frames, needlepoint dog pillows and antler candelabra. The store is known for clever birdfeeders, made out of unconventional materials like silver bowls and china cups. The nursery specializes in perennials, orchids and, of course, boxwood. There's also a wide selection of garden containers and cachepots.
