Pacifier

I wished I had known about this place sooner as I am in a time in mylife where a lot of my friends are having babies! This store is truly gem. There is a variety of unique, cute and fun selection of baby items for any occasion! I love that they even carry a few local made pieces as well. Now that I know about this baby boutique, I won’t have to go to Target anymore! :)
The owners and associates were friendly and greeted my boyfriend and i with a smile; however, the reason I gave this a ⁴⁄₅ stars is because the owner asked me like 5 times if I needed help finding anything. Although I appreciate the thoughtful service, I just wanted to take my time browsing at all the super adorable pieces in the store. Anyways, back on the good note, I was surprised that they even wrapped the gift that I bought for FREE & I didn’t even have to ask. It was beautifully wrapped and I really appreciated the gesture/​service.
Because I am in love with this baby boutique, I will def be back again!

Pacifier is adorable. If you are pregnant, just beware, you will want to buy every single outfit, gadget, swaddle and stuffed animal in sight.
I love that Pacifier carries some specific product brands that everyone recommends as a new mom: Jellycat stuffed animals, aden + anais swaddle blankets, Tea Collection clothing and Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags.
They often have sales for random holiday (May the Fourth Be With You, Star Wars Day, featured 15% off your online purchase) and others. They will price match any item you find online, even things like strollers and diaper bags! They can special order styles or prints of things that you are looking for, and it is obvious they want to win your business. I like that!
I have always had a positive experience with the staff by phone, email or in-​person at the NE location — really sweet and happy to help a pregnant mama out. Though we registered for most of our baby gear at Target and Amazon, this is a great spot to find a gift for a friend or for any high-​end baby items.

I’ve been in this store on three separate occasions and while I love their selection of unique baby items (great blankets, swaddles, cute rompers, cute toys), I have always been underwhelmed by their staff. The last time I was there this past weekend, the three staff behind the counter were so absorbed in their own conversation that they could hardly take the time to say hello and ask if I needed help. I want to like this store, and I don’t like giving negative reviews, but I hope they learn some better customer service.

As if being pregnant weren’t exciting enough, Pacifier makes me just SO excited to have this babe. I have always bought gifts for mamas and babes here and have always had a great experience. When I got pregnant, I couldn’t wait to register at Pacifier. Wing and Jon, the owners, are really helpful and it always feels like a low-​pressure shopping experience.
Can we please talk about how freaking adorable tiny clothes are? Pacifier has an amazing selection of super-​cute clothes for babies and toddlers (and beyond), and many of the brands are conscientious of what goes onto your baby, using organic cotton and materials without nasty chemicals. Pacifier carries some of everything you need or want, from sweet toys (new gadgets and the good ol’ classic toys we grew up with), bath supplies galore, eco-​friendly diapers, shoes, furniture, books, and gear. Some of the previous reviewers are right: the goodies at Pacifier are definitely no bargain. They carry mostly pretty high-​end furniture and strollers/​gear. My mom and I were in the store a couple weeks ago and were asking about gliders. The ones they sell ranged from $ 900-​$ 1,200. Needless to say, we scratched that plan! The clothes and toys, though, don’t strike me as being completely out-​of-​this-​world expensive. You get what you pay for, and these are high-​quality pieces of clothing. Will we dress our little guy in ONLY Pacifier clothes? No. We would go broke. But, we’ll have a few staples (can we say baby sweaters with elbow patches?!).
Every time I have emailed Pacifier with a question, they are really quick to respond and, most importantly, very helpful. It really seems like they care about their customers and the experience they have at the store or online (speaking of which, the online selection is also outstanding! I think basically everything in-​store can be purchased online and shipped anywhere you want it to go). The people who work at the store (I frequent the NE location) are also helpful and seem to have good ideas if I’m ever unsure about which product or brand might best suit us.
Pacifier is a haven for all things little-​kid related, and I’m pretty sure the parents have just as much fun in here as the kids. It’s the best alternative to gross big-​box stores and gives consumers a chance to support a truly local business while also getting products that are drool-​worthy (no pun intended, but now that I type it I realize that most of what we get at Pacifier will soon have a LOT of drool on it, so literally drool-​worthy, I guess). Our potentially overwhelming prep process for this new addition has become fun and super easy thanks to Pacifier!

Very overpriced and limited selection. The staff was very friendly but knew nothing about their products. I think they were both new employees since neither even seemed to know how to use the cash register. We bought a groupon for $ 40 credit, but everything was so overpriced that it wasn’t even a good deal. Also beware that their return policy is for store credit only, we didn’t read the fine print and got burned by this. I generally like to support small businesses but I wouldn’t go back here unless I was looking for something unique to give as a gift for a shower, etc.

There were cute things and I have been here before, so I was looking forward to finding something special for our newborn to wear home from the hospital who is due in a week. When I walked in, eventually I was greeted, there was no one else in the store, four people sitting around talking about their own things… No one at all was helpful. I asked for what I was looking for, there was no help with me finding anything. Other boutiques I have been to, people are excited and happy to show me different options. They cared way more about their personal conversations. It was super disappointing. I’ll never go here again, and will tell my friends who are on the fence about this place… To think twice.

I’m at that time in my life where all my friends are popping out babies. I usually try to buy one gift from their registry but always include a gift from Pacifier, too, because they have such an adorable selection of baby and kids stuff. I like that they have some locally made items like hand carved wooden toys and classic items from my own childhood, like the Fisher Price record player. You can also find sweet stuff for moms like charm necklaces or those chew bead necklaces for teething babies to safely gnaw on. Last time I was there, I got a Pride and Prejudice board book for a book-​themed baby shower I was attending. Nice that they gift wrap your item for free, too!
Last of all, I love that this is a locally owned business. There is a NE Mpls, downtown Mpls, and Edina location at 50^th and France. I’ve stopped by each one when I’m in that part of town, and you can see how each store is slightly catered to the feeling of the neighborhood its in. Attention to detail, nice owners, lots of giveaways on Facebook and Twitter… maybe I should have my own child so I can register here.

I would NEVER shop their again ! The owner (the guy) was nasty
Had no customer service skills. Disgusting behavior never coming going back.
I will be sharing and have been sharing that with the other
Mothers.

I was treated like crap from the time I walked in to the time I walked out… even after spending over $ 100 there. I was not greeting when I walked in even though I was the only one in the store. The 2 employees gossiped the entire time I was there and didn’t come and see if I needed any help.
I loved the store itself and one of our son’s «night time» books came from there written by a local author. I appreciate them selling local items, too.
When I did complain about my service, the owner made excuses for his employees behavior instead of apologizing. Not ok in my book.
I would have been a regular customer had I been treated with respect.

I don’t have kids, but I have a lot of friends who are helping populate the planet. This is one of my favorite spots to come for gifts for their little bundles of joy. I never really need to know what I am getting because there is so much adorable stuff in their inventory to choose from. Yes, a lot of the items are pricier than some things at a Target or Babies R Us, but prices on the same items are comparable and there is more unique selection here. You can find something within a realistic budget that isn’t the same old, same old as the mass retailers. I love that they have brands like Skip Hop, Tea, and organic cotton items. I also love their cute green gift boxes. I don’t even have to rewrap them. There is also a smaller location in the skyway. If you are looking for something at that location that they only stock at the main store, they will transfer it downtown in a day or so for you to save you the trip.

Very cute store with great, unique (but high priced) baby and kids stuff. It’s not somewhere I can shop regularly, but definitely a go-​to place for a nice gift.
I was thrilled today to receive an email that said 40% off all Fall/​Winter Tea clothing, in-​store only, through Saturday at the NE and City Center locations. When I arrived at the NE location tonight, though, the clerk knew nothing about the sale. She did make a phone call, and then told me it was for City Center only and may start tomorrow at the NE store. When I asked which clothes would be marked down (thinking I could set some aside), she said she didn’t know. What the heck? I made a wasted trip and probably won’t go back unless I’m in the neighborhood.

Best place to go in search of a present for a baby shower! Their inventory is high quality, unique, and fashionable. Highly recommended!

They have some amazingly cute stuff here. And yes, it is all expensive. I wouldn’t do «regular» baby shopping here, but if you want to splurge a bit on a unique and stylish gift, I would highly recommend it.
I almost bought my new nephew a cream colored, long sleeved onesie with a blue silkscreen of a Boston Terrier ($ 37), but instead opted for a box of 6 pairs of little argyle socks ($ 25) and footie pajamas with print of stylized grizzly bears in different poses ($ 20). Hope that gives you some idea of both the cuteness and the cost!
The service was very good, and they gift wrapped it for free in a bright green box with a white ribbon.

A great place to go for unique and affordable baby gifts. They have some high end stuff, but also a lot cheeky onesies and gifty items for 20 bucks or less. Complimentary gift boxing was a life saver — I was going to visit my friend at the hospital that evening.

Another great baby boutique for those flush with cash It’s also a place you introduce to the grand-​mothers-​to-​be. Do you have a baby shower to attend? Stop in here. Desire the hippest of baby trends and funky and adorable children’s clothing? Put this on your list. Don’t want to feel like crap about being broke? Do not enter.
