What they Are Saying
- Anne Simms
I was delighted to find your new exciting, smart shop stocked just the perfect gifts for which I had been searching to give friends for special occasions. Thank you all for the excellent service. I am really looking forward to my next visit. - Cami Wailes
I was getting REALLY TIRED of all the cookie cutter furniture & home accent stores out there. It seemed it was impossible to find something gorgeous & unique. A friend had told me about Festivities and it was worth the drive to Edmonds!! Beautiful, unique, original items…from little accent pieces to linens & soaps to furniture. I bought an antique wooden box, apothecary in style, and it absolutely completed the look & feel I was trying to get in my living room. Thank you Festivities & keep up the good work. I can't wait to go again!! - Glenis Richardson
A really beautiful store and a joy to browse and buy! The staff is very helpful and my purchases were exquisitely gift wrapped. Look forward to shopping there again, especially with spring around the corner and the great garden wares available there. - Hatti Hamlin
Among my favorite things at Festivities are the silk runners and pillow covers from Southeast Asia. Some are quite old, others are new, but they're all exquisite and very reasonably priced. Plus, believe it or not, they're machine-washable and come out looking like new! The buyers at Festivities have a great eye (and touch) for linens and fabrics in general. When you are thinking about buying, be sure to ask the store personnel about the merchandise. They're all very knowledgeable and you'll walk out with something you not only love, but know the history of. I would never have known I could wash the runner I picked up there if I hadn't gotten the background from them. - Jerry Porter
I love FESTIVITIES FINE GIFTS...this store is amazing! They have everything from Chillewich mats(love 'em) to gorgeous art and fine furniture. It's just right on Main street in Edmonds next to the post office...stop in and check it out. - Katie Rucker
I had a wonderful experience when shopping at Festivities. When walking around the store, whether you have an idea of what you are looking for or not, you can see the thought that has been put into each item. The girls are very welcoming and never without humor. This makes your experience a fun, but calming one, that is not always found when shopping. The only problem is finding something you cannot justify buying. Every treasure in the store was picked for a reason, not just to fill up space. Although the unique shop carries many things from all over the world, they have made the shop flow and not feel cluttered. If you are looking to redo you bedroom or living room one day and then need a quick, perfect gift for a special occasion another day, Festivities Fine Gifts is the place for you. Edmonds is a great place to spend an afternoon and Festivities is in the heart of downtown Edmonds. - Mark Gross
Festivities is such a gorgeous store, and I'm always made to feel so welcome, it's a shame I can't just move in. Every time I go there I find ten things I've never seen anywhere else that I must have, and the stylish gals who own the shop are a true delight to shop with. I'm all done with the big, impersonal stores like Masins--I'm having Festivities custom-make my next sofa, and soon enough my house in West Seattle will look nearly as fabulous as the store. Great service from fabulous proprietors, amazing and unique merchandise. - Robert Sutherland
The level of taste and style at Festivities is off the charts, but the prices won't make you break out into a cold sweat. Shopping here is especially fun due to the wit and grace of the Festivities gals--the proprietors are a delight and always have great advice to offer. Well worth the drive to Edmonds, even for West Seattleites like us! - Terra Paley
The definition of beauty: the combination of qualities that make something pleasing and impressive to look at, listen to, touch, smell, or taste really define this store. Festivities is all of this and more-really gorgeous pieces for indoors and outdoors, great gifts and a very special touch when choosing local artists. I love, love, love this store. Eco-friendly is a reality here and you can see from the thoughtful selections, it is not just a bandwagon they jumped on. The displays including thoughtfully arranged rocks-yes rocks-are simple and stunning. The mother is a landscape architect and all of them must have the eye. Somebody else said they wanted to move in to Festivities, I just want them to move into my house. The owners, mother and two daughter trio, are really friendly and accessible. They exude stylishness and accessibility and are very real. Nothing is overdone or over the top here-a melange of hip style, eco-perfect non-strident design that is comfortable but not without attitude-simply what you want in your home. There are things you won't find elsewhere and it is the combination and presentation that you want to make your own. I will be shopping here a long time.
