St Helen's on Granbury Square — Local services in Granbury

I liked... • their neat selection of items • the friendly staff • the location

I did not like... • that most items are over-priced, even for a downtown shop • the lack of organization • a rather silly policy regarding gift certificates (details below)

My wife and I were given a $40 gift certificate to this store earlier this year. While browsing the store, we only found about $20 worth of items we wanted to purchase, but when we got to the counter, we were told that the certificate did not hold a balance. In other words, we could spend up to $40, but unless we did so all in one trip, the rest of the money (which was graciously spent on the gift certificate) would be forfeit to St. Helen’s. We were able to rummage around and find a few more items that somewhat interested us, so we didn’t waste the gift that had been given to us. HOWEVER, I now have very little interest in returning to the shop. If I had spent $20 and still had a gift certificate that had $20 left on it, I would be interested in coming back in a month or two and seeing what new items they had (who knows, maybe spend some money on top of the gift certificate). But since I don’t have a store credit, I do not expect to return, especially considering the generally high prices of items...

Very cute store! The atmosphere is nice, it smelled great, and the owner was so sweet and talked with my partner and I for a few minutes and she seemed genuinely interested and kind. As we left she told us to "Enjoy our little Hallmark town!" And it is a great way to describe the whole environment in Granbury Square. St. Helen's specifically though was a great little boutique and we plan to be back our next...

This is a wonderful gift shop! It has quite a few imported souvenirs, from France, in particular. There are a lot of natural soaps, lotions, and other body care products for both men and women. You can also find cute kitchen and dining items, as well as home decor galore. Additionally, the most adorable stuffed animals for children are found here. I highly...
