This is one of the unique boutique shops on St Armands Circle, they have extraordinary merchandise, not your run of the mill gift shop found everywhere. Anytime I'm at St Armands, I always stop in to see what's new. The staff are so friendly and customer service focused, very well informed with the products in the store. They provide suggestions/alternatives to compliment your gift selection. This was the case when I bought a charcuterie board and was shown serving forks/spoons, napkins, etc. to go with the board. I love this place, they have something for everyone, from kids to seniors. Stop in

Absolutely love this shop on St Armands Circle, they have unique merchandise throughout their store and available on-line. Both my wife and I shop there year round, and is our go to place at Christmas.
The owners and staff are very personable and knowledgeable, you won't find better or value-added customer service anyplace else on the Circle. I've referred coworkers in search of that "special" occasion, or "just because" gift.
I'm so glad the boutique was able to survive through the pandemic, so many other family owned business were not as fortunate. Looking

I absolutely loves these plates to add a little holiday theme to our daily life we have a few of these like the pumpkin, turkey, birthday gift and a Mexican Hat for Taco Tuesday. It's so fun to add a little theme to the evening dinner, "Just Because"
Thank you "Just Because"

I can’t say enough about this great little boutique. I went in while vacationing and ended up leaving my credit card and address book for them to be my personal shoppers. Awesome selection. Knowledgeable staff. Very unique gifts.

Love Just Because!! Shopped here the past few years and always find something great! We have gotten everything from stuffed animals, to fun water bottles, and beautiful sculptures. My mom and I love to go for St. Armand's Ladies Night, 15% off and Just Because always has fun drinks and treats! The women who work here are wonderful, they're kind, helpful, and just make you feel welcome without hovering over you while you shop. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in St. Armand's!

I love this store! A family-owned business that represents a variety of American artists. It's a great place for gifts and home decor, and I especially love the fun serving pieces. Barb will give you terrific advice on gifts for any occasion and price point. (Of course, I love to buy gifts for me!! I found the most beautiful -- and unusual -- clock there. It's one of my favorite purchases ever!) It's also a place where I feel safe shopping during Covid -- the glass store front retracts to allow outside air.

What a unique shopping experience! I found truly amazing gift ideas for my sister and myself. 😉 Barb was friendly and knowledgeable about the items I was looking for and steered me in the right direction. The website was easy to navigate and secure. My packages arrived in a timely manner. She wrapped the items beautifully, card included and ready to gift. I am already looking forward to doing some Christmas shopping for my loved ones!

Wow! What a beautiful unique store. I bought the sitting giraffe and the giraffe drinking bowl along with the most adorable hedgehog toothpick holder. I also bought the Ocean scented sanitizer spray. It smells so great on my hands. I’m always looking for different pieces that enhance my home and I just love them! The owner is so sweet, friendly and knowledgeable! Her artistic choices and selections from jewelry to bakeware are many one of a kinds! I love everything about her store. I highly recommend stopping by. I plan to visit every time I visit Sarasota...just/because! Love love love! â¤ï¸ðŸƒðŸ

Just Because is one of my favorite stores in Sarasota. I love being able to buy special gifts for myself and my family. Barb the owner is always so helpful to work with.
I purchased this Nora Fleming egg plate that has mini decorative pieces that can change with each holiday session. I got 4 different minis. Prices are very reasonable and merchandise is always changing.

I absolutely LOVE stopping by this posh & unique boutique when I'm in Sarasota. Yes, St. Armand's Circle is full of cool little shops but not as quaint as this one. As its name, you'll walk in to the store "just because" its colorful & unique items will entice you to & you'll undeniably walk out with some novelty gift for you or friends 'cause you know it's...just because"..!

The store boasts original & one-of-a-kind jewelry, beauty & art pieces from American artists & from organizations that help fund charitable causes so your
