Boutiques in Grosse Pointe. They are plentiful and thriving. Here are just five among the many that stand out to residents and Patchers.

We probably missed some, so please add more in the comment box below to share with everyone!

Five Great Boutiques

• : The jointly run business has grown from its basement start up to a store front on Mack Avenue serving as a "gift emporium" aiming to serve the Pointers niche. They offer party favors, personalized gift baskets and locally made art gifts. 
• Hydrangea Boutique: A nearly year-old boutique aiming to be full-service, one-stop shop. Hydrangea is a mother-and-daughter owned shop featuring clothing, gifts, speciality bath and soap products, as well as one-of-a-kind, vintage and modern home luxuries. 
• : An upscale women's clothing and formalwear boutique that most . The boutique has been open for more than a decade in the Village and offers accessories to complete the formalwear look, including clutches, shoes and hair accessories. 
• : A salon-spa and clothing/accessory boutique all in one. What could be better? Have your manicure/pedicure and then shop for that one great accessory or sweater that would add to your wardrobe.  

• Village Palm: This intimate store features Lilly Pulitzer everything and fills a niche in the Pointes. The owner tries to order products shoppers can't find even at the big stores to offer Pointers exclusives and there is variety of product: women's and children's clothing, home accessories, swimwear, shoes, etc.
