Opened in October 2010, Creme de la Creme is one of the newest additions to the downtown scene, and a unique one at that. The store, which sells all manner of clothing, accessories, and home and party decor, caters to customers ages "0 to 100." Owner Patricia Smith brings in new merchandise regularly, and always stocks for the seasons.
"What sets us apart from other gift shops is first and foremost is our customer service. We really enjoy assisting our customers find the right gift or selection for themselves. We are unique because many of our things are one of a kind," she said.
The store offers both pre-made and customized gift baskets. Individual clients or organizations can host private parties in the shop, and the host receives a percentage of sales towards merchandise. The organization would receive a monetary gift, also based on sales.
