Terrible customer service. Ignored by the staff who were fawning over a woman sitting in a chair because she was "ill" or lazy??!! Waited over 10 minutes to check out because they couldn't figured out how to refund another clients money. Coming from the South with all of the niceties and helpful clerks I was in shock. Rude people of the North always a disappointment. Actually annoyed with myself for even waiting and giving my money to them.

Probably one of the best home decor stores in the area. Now they are a bit on the pricier side. But their furniture is so gorgeous and stylish. I don't enter the store to buy any furniture. I would love to though. I go straight to their cute novelty items.
They have a large selection of gift options. They have everything: soaps, candles, baby gifts, books, tote bags, and much much more. Staff is wonderful. They're very friendly and they can help you pick out anything from the perfect rug to the perfect fragrance diffuser.
5 stars.

This is absolutely a gorgeous store with overpriced and beautiful merchandise. However, the customer service is HORRIBLE. Yesterday I went in the store and Jenny never said good morning or asked if I need anything. The vibes was all wrong. No welcoming warmth which does not match up with the merchandise. Just saying....

Such a cute place!!!! Whether you are looking for home decor or a cute thoughtful gift, this place has a little bit of everything!!!
I stumbled in here looking for a mirror I saw somewhere else and I was told this is where it came from. Although I did not find the mirror, I found so many more eye catching things.
Even though the store is overloaded with all kinds of goodies it's well organized, so it does not appear cluttered in any way.
Keeping this place in the rotation the next tine I need a well thought out gift!

This is a great independent store and very unique. One of the very few individualized gift/furniture/accessory stores in the DC area that has unique items that you cannot find anywhere else. Our family always shops here, especially during the holidays. Everyone on the staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have some great interior design services.

The Nest Egg is my go to shop for gifts. They have something for everyone on your list here. There is a large selection of home decor that suits all tastes from modern to classic. If a baby or child's gift is what you are looking for, look no further. The items they carry are not general commercial items that can be found in a regular baby/kid store. All items are of fine quality with affordable prices!
Other gift items include soaps, candles, jewelry, art, seasonal decor, stationary, and cards. They carry items that are of a way better quality than anything you can get at Hallmark! Gift

The Nest Egg is a beautiful home decor and gift shop in the middle of the Fairfax Corner. We go there because they are one of the few places locally that sell Sid Dickens tiles which my mom and Dad have been collecting since I was a little kid. Let's get this straight: nothing in this store is inexpensive. That being said, everything is worth the prices that their prices at. Most of the brands this store carries are independent designers and that makes for some really cool and eclectic picks for both decor and gifts. As long as they stock Sid Dickens tiles, I'll be a customer.

If you're obsessed with stationary or unique home goods, go here. It's like the Anthropologie home and jewelry section plus the Nordstorms stationary section plus Pottery Barn Kids. So it's not junk. It's nice stuff! They have: purses, pouches, beach bags, stationary, pencils, kids' section, kitchen section, rugs, scent wall, Swell water bottles, gold jewelry... EVERYTHING.
I started grabbing everything before I calmed down. I mean do I really need a taco kitchen rag? Not today. And I'm not wearing my other pineapple earrings that much, so do I really need another

Cute shop on the corner of Grand Commons in Fairfax Corner. They have a nice assortment of unique home décor and gift items. While it's not a huge store they manage to pack a good amount of merchandise inside ensuring a good selection. It is tight however with lots of breakables so I would not recommend bringing in smaller children or a large stroller.
Associates I have encountered have always been friendly and helpful. In fact, they even offered complimentary gift wrapping of my purchase after I confirmed it was a gift. Nice touch! My one con is prices tend somewhat high, but this is

Customer service is great. I love that I can take rug samples home. Really made choosing so much easier. Lots of fun little things for gifts and great decorating. They just expanded and it looks great. Very pleasant shopping atmosphere. Purchased our rug and they have kept us updated every step of the way.

I love this cute shop! I came in today as I was curious to see what types of furnishings and other goods this store offers. There is a plethora of side tables, lamps, candles, textiles, baby items, home decor, and other accessories. This is definitely a comforting home to unique, interesting, and well-curated items. I saw so many things I wanted to get for my friends! I couldn't find it in me to purchase something for myself as the prices are rather high - plates and trays were $50+, candles were $30+, and lamps were $150+. Side tables are about $250+ and were small. I liked a ton of things

Since I am woman who gives second chances and it helped to see unique holiday decor, I visited the Nest Egg this evening 12/7. Still there is no greeting upon entry in the store and it was quite empty. I was addressed after I walked the entire store! Despite the sometimy customer service or lack of bedside manner it didn't deter me from securing some really unique pieces. The cashier was nice and talkative about my great taste in decor. She took her time in wrapping the delicate pieces for transport to my residence. I look forward to the day that I can write a raving review for this cute boutique

How sweet!
I personally didn't visit the store. A friend surprised me with birthday gifts from here. She is so thoughtful and generous. So very grateful. I love everything she chose.
The soy based candle smells amazing and the box itself has sunflower seeds in it. So you can put the box in soil and grow sunflowers :D The bracelets G picked out support various charities, talk about a gift that keeps on giving. 25% of the proceeds of each bracelet goes to charity. Visit chavezforcharity.com. Very cool. The packaging on everything is gorgeous. I believe most of it is recyclable. It's got

I want to love this store. I really do. But while the merchandise is amazing and really my style, the customer service is lacking.
I've been here on several occasions and the person working there did not even so much as say hello. This is a big no-no with me. You want me to spend my money, but you can't be bothered with niceties? No. That doesn't work for me or most people.
It's my sincere hope that they look at these reviews and realize that you must at least acknowledge the presence of your customers before you can sell them anything.

Love this shop for ideas and unique gifts, and I've ended up with several items in my own home as a result. They have a terrific selection of decor and serving pieces, and the kids section has high-end books, toys and decor items.
They do a great sale once per year, usually in February before the spring furniture shows. Lots of markdowns on floor samples -- I've gotten framed art, a sofa and lamps at a steep discount. They also do an invitation-only holiday event where they collect books for donation and give a shopping discount in return.
Some items might be slightly more in price

Love the beautiful stock in this unique shop. A great place to find an unique gift for most any occasion (new baby, housewarming, thank-you, birthday, etc).
My only complaint, and the reason I don't visit very often anymore, is that not all of the staff are very warm or friendly. I have had a positive interaction with (one of?) the owners on a couple of occasions but have had rather disinterested service from other staff. Including around Christmas, when I purchased a few small glass ornaments and the salesperson was so busy conversing with her coworker that she just put them in the bottom of

One of those places that I wander through looking for gift ideas for those family and friends who really and truly need nothing. I should caveat that with - those that need nothing and generally like all that hostessing fru-fru, home deco kitsch, and cutesy but useless baby-ness.
Most of the items are really not my style, nor that of most of my family and friends. There are some really nice things here (but often a tad over priced it sometimes) and I do find myself dropping in a few times a year to see what's on the shelves.

Hidden Secret to a lovely home around here. They not only have nice and unique furniture but have enough brands to cater to different styles. Too bad we discovered this store after we furnished most of the house. So, we ended up buying lot of home decor items from here and they have the best collection. Also, they have huge collection of excellent candles.
Not a store for people who prefer contemporary decor. I wish they were still open in Brambleton. I think they opened that store little too early before the Brambleton center was popular.

Nest Egg is the sort of Williams Sonoma/West Elm furniture store full of things no one ever needs. And yet, there is something about Nest Egg that is so inviting, so cute and utterly different. It feels more homey than the other places, with a nice array of candles, coffee table books and furniture.
I didn't intend to buy anything in Nest Egg, but I fell absolutely in love with a book called "Doorbells of Florence". It's a collection of photographs of various doorbells in Florence Italy and the short fictional stories about the people who may live there.
