A great gift resource

I spent the whole day Friday criss-crossing Rockland County for a story.
I’m working on the “Gotta Have It” feature for the March issue of one of our sister publications, Rockland Magazine.
And this time around the “gotta have” is … jewelry.
I know, it’s a hard job… driving from store to store, looking at jewelry and gathering the prettiest pieces so the editors can decide what to spotlight.
My first stop of the day was a shop that I’d never been to before — and I’m so glad I know about it now.
It’s called Stardust Gift Boutique in Monsey.
Its owners, Radi and Malky, had called awhile ago, to let me know about them — and since I knew jewelry was part of their offerings, decided to stop in.
They do have some beautiful jewelry, much of it one-of-a-kind.
But —they have so much more, from pillows to cake servers, vases to frames, travel accessories to children’s gifts.
The shop, which opened three years ago, grew out of a home-based business, with the owners showcasing, what Radi says, is “whatever we like, whatever we see.”
That makes it a great destination for wedding or engagement gifts, housewarming presents and even just a place for accessories.
Prices start at less than $10 and go up to around $1,500, for some of the finest crystal pieces or elaborate frames.
Napkin rings, for example, might cost $40 for a dozen or $125 for a set of four, depending on the style.
Check out this serving set, which features semi-precious stones. It was made for the shop, selling at $85:
There are also items designed for the Jewish community, such as these towels and cups used to wash hands before eating bread:
There are also some fun accessories, for travel:
or use at home:
Here is just a walk through the shop, highlighting some of the items ideal for gifts:
And then, there are the gifts that are wrapped and ready to go. Radi told me that their customers love the idea of “open presentation” — isn’t it eye-catching?
I have to say, I was amazed at the variety on offer.
But as Radi told me, “You can walk around the store 45 times and still not see everything.”
Stardust Gift Boutique is at 421 Route 59. Call 845-425-5030.

P.S. — Happy New Year!
