Blue Windows

My wife loves this place and comes here often as they have cute stuff, however, my experience today left a little to be desired. I popped in to pick up a card for my wife because she was having a bad day and when I went to check out, the gal behind the counter walked away without saying anything to finish ordering her TACO PLATE! When she returned a couple minutes later, no apology. She checked me out without even acknowledging the incident. I’ve been in the service industry my entire life and this sort of thing drives me crazy. Have some respect for your customers. That is all.

What a unique little store. Arts, Gifts & Culinary Surprises. Soy candles are fragrant, cannot wait to try them! We are definitely getting the Pecan Pie Filling this November. Saw some amazing gifts to give for this Holiday season.

I moved to the neighborhood a couple of months ago and have spent a lot of time in this store! I love how you can find one of a kind pieces from home décor to clothing. I recently put together a bridal shower package for my best friend and the ladies working were very helpful! They had great ideas and even gift wrapped the items for me. I will definitely continue to shop here for myself and gifts for friends and family!

Great store! Wonderful selection of items, gifts, clothes, jewelry, etc. Service is friendly and the location is great. I always stop by after brunch at Simmzy’s. They aren’t big on sales so if you see something you love, might as well just buy it! Great decorative items– I have an amazing recycled metal whale sculpture from here that is one of my favorite things in my home.

This shop has a bit of everything. Of course I still take it old school and write in a journal, therefore, I was naturally interested in the stationary. A bit on the pricey end, however, the customer service was awesome.

Great shop with a great vibe. Love coming to Blue Windows when ever I’m strolling 2^nd Street, always my go to when I need a gift or a card, and the girls do a beautiful job gift wrapping.

Couldn’t go inside; the stink of perfume/​candles/​incense was too strong. My boyfriend went in and bought me a cute giant cup/​bowl that says ‘lover’ though.

This shop is lovely! They have a ton of unique gifts for all occasions and also hold trunk sales which bring in other unique gifts. The customer service here is exceptional, even on busy days. I was here right before Valentine’s gift and they took extra good care of me and wrapped my gift beautifully. The store is located on a busy street so parking can be a bit limited but worth it to stop by.
Highly Recommended!
Tip: Bring change for meter parking.

This place is pretty nice but hotter inside than outside! I was planning on buying a dress but could not stand to be in the store any longer because of how bad I was sweating!!! Please turn the ac on! I asked the girls if the ac was on and they said yes! Those poor girls were sweating too! Call the repair guy ASAP!

My all time favorite store! This is my go-​to store for practically all of my gifts, Free People clothing, the best and most unique cards, and candles, candles, candles. The girls are so friendly and welcoming. Love it!!!

I was looking for a birthday gift for a little boy and ended up walking out with one from Blue Windows. Love this store! They do sell some higher end retail clothing items and an assortment of fun goodies. The lady who was working (maybe the owner?) was so incredibly friendly, did a beautiful gift wrap for me that resulted in cutting a significant amount of time off my errand running trip. I just walked right down to the post office and slipped it in the mail. They were friendly, warm and inviting, and personable. The prices weren’t too bad for what they offered, although I could see how people might think some of it was on the higher end. I will definitely come back here when I am in the market for some really cool original jewelry or if I need a quick pair of Joe’s Jeans.

Such a cute store! Great for gifts, knick knacks, and a little something for yourself. Their necklaces are simple, beautiful yet understated. The greeting cards are worth taking a look. They also have old looking maps that are great for display in an office or library.

Cute shop with great merchandise, but very overpriced. I like browsing through here, but have never boughten anything.

I’ve been shopping here for many years and LOVE this store! The only problem is that everything is such good quality, it lasts FOREVER! How can I rationalize buying another one when the one I have is in such good condition?
Really, they just gave me amazing customer service! I bought a Free People dress and it snagged like crazy wearing it just once. I went back and they got credit for it from Free People. So I exchanged it for a throw for my couch. After I paid the difference, they put the dress in my bag and let me have it for free! Now THAT is customer service!
Years ago a store close by acted like they were doing me a huge favor by giving me store credit for a leather skirt that fell apart after wearing it once. It was very expensive and I was a good customer. What a difference in customer service!
If you haven’t shopped there yet, GO!
Oh, and by the way, Holly is a doll and ALWAYS very helpful and friendly. They don’t accost you in the store, which I appreciate!

One of my favorites stores in Long Beach is Blue Windows it has a mix of everything — from clothing and home goods to stationery and kids stuff. It is a great place to look for gifts and the fact that it is walking distance from my house is even better! The store is well decorated and they carry some of my favorite products, not to mention everything in the store is pretty to look at.

Move over, Open Sesame! This has become my favorite business in Long Beach!
This place is curated so well– from the products to the displays, everything is so delicately and thoughtfully placed. All the products are high quality and so well-​chosen. This place is filled with tons of great graphics in the form of stationary, stamps, books, clothing, etc. I really appreciate places like this that take time to curate their pieces. If I had all the money in the world, I would buy this shop. Come here and enjoy.

cute cute cute store!!! I could tell they probably hate being compared to twig and willow but whatever! lol I honestly think between the two boutiques, blue windows IS better. a bigger space so they are able to carry a lot more items. The owner/​buyer for blue windows has excellent taste. No doubt about that. They carry cute stationary, quirky and unique items like stamps and pencils and other miscellaneous items. This place is great for eyeshopping. The store is REALLY cool, I love coming in here.
why only 3 stars thens? their customer service sucks! Every time I walk in here, the worker or «manager» just kind of stares at me. it’s the same girl too. She’s not that friendly and when I ask her something, she’s very short with her answers. girl with the red hair and bangs, she’s apparently the «manager.» She comes off VERY snooty. One of my girlfriends told me about visiting this store once and told me that she didn’t like the service either. I automatically thought of this particular worker. note to the owner of blue windows: check your employee please.
I really want to give this place 5 stars but it just sucks that they don’t know how to be friendly. like just be FAKE and do the whole «hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…how are you??? is there anything in particular you’re looking for???» no just looking «ok well let me know if you need anything, I’d be more than happy to help you. =)» …ugh!
I’d rather go take the extra time and drive down to twig and willow to fulfill my shopping fix. every time I go into twig and willow, they are so freakin kind. I love how welcoming and just kind they are over there.

This store has the best selection (on 2^nd street) of clothing/​accessories/​housewares geared towards women. It’s like a mini Anthropologie but with better and more high end fashion jewelry. The clothes are less gaudy than what Anthropologie has been carrying lately too. Only complaint is their high pricing. Saw a necklace today for almost $ 400! Ouch. Gold plated initial necklaces were $ 65/​each which is also high too. Fun to browse through their selection though. Also cute store design.

I love this place. Always a fun shopping experience for my wife and me because they have gorgeous and unique items galore.
AND their displays are artistic and have provided us with several great (and free) decorating ideas. Bonus!

If there is a heaven, I imagine it looks an awful lot like Blue Windows. I want to hide under the racks and sleep here at night! Seriously.
First of all, they always have the cutest window displays. I’m not sure who is in charge of designing them but they deserve a big fat raise. They change them regularly and often to match local events or charity drives, which is awesome and makes me feel better about spending my hard earned money here.
Make no mistake, this place is NOT cheap but their products are high quality and very unique. They have great gift items that are pretty reasonably priced (candles, soaps, coasters, etc.) but I couldn’t, for instance, afford to purchase my dishware here. Italian Vietra plates are beautiful but I’m no Kim Kardashian. At $ 120+ per plate, I could afford about one of them. Imagine breaking a $ 120 plate? Not this girl.
Their jewelry lines are AMAZING and surprisingly pretty affordable. I especially love their Jeanine Payer line
with hand engraved poetry on each delicate piece. Definitely a splurge but well worth it. They also carry small but very cute collection of seasonally appropriate clothing. In the Fall, they have the best scarves, mittens, sweaters and hats and while they aren’t Tilly’s prices, they are also not Tilly’s quality. They are the type of investment items that you will have in your closet for years to come.
The card and stationary section is cute and they have a great selection of individual sheets of wrapping and tissue paper for gift wrap. You can either purchase it on it’s own or ask them to gift wrap your item. They do a superb job. My hostess gifts that I purchase there are always a hit!
SUPER adorable baby section if you are looking to spend a little money on someone else’s cute bundle of joy. A bit pricey for anything other than a special occasion gift but any baby sporting these duds is sure to get loads of attention!
The staff is super friendly and have accommodated special order requests for me in the past without a shipping fee or long wait time. They are open the usual second street hours (9pm) and they get a really great Xmas ornament Thanksgiving time each year.
Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will not be disappointed!
