I love this place! I go there when I go to State Street. Great place for small gifts or just to go and look at things--eye candy!

Jackpot! I found so many great gifts at this store. They have a stylish selection of hair accessories, wallets, bags, mugs, plates, gadgets, kids-ware, books, gift paper, pillows and hats, among other items.
Located along State Street - the main shopping strip of downtown Madison, near the University of Wisconsin. -

Other reviewers have done a great job at giving kudos to this lovely, charming, upscale, gift shop.
I LOVE La Vie Parisienne earrings! Don't stop carrying them. They are the item that I hold out for myself as a reward! Nothing like pining after sparkly earrings and then strolling down to get them on a Friday afternoon to wear out that night :) -

I go to this store every time I pass through Madison. It's a great place for gifts...they have everything you want and do no need, and sometimes never knew existed.
In the past I've bought many gifts including salt and pepper shakers in Venetian glass and oil cloth baby bibs. Just last week I walked in to see tons of cute handbags and diaper bags, gardening tools fit for a museum (salad tongs too), and retro reading glasses.
If I cannot think of a wedding gift and I'm passing through Madison, this is where I will go. -

I love this shop. They have a great selection. I always find the prettiest, most perfect handbags, accessories, books, and other items. I got a purse hanger and business card holder that match and get me a lot of compliments (and strange looks). They also carry some really cute and unique lines of handbags that I love, including po campo out of Chicago and another one I can't remember the name of. If I were a local I would come here for all my gift needs, both for me and for other people!

I love this store, but I've only purchased something there once. My ex-boyfriend needed a gift for his sister and I went and picked up a beautiful scarf for her there. She loved it, he came out smelling like a rose, and I am the secret hero. Woohoo!
It's a great place to browse for things you would like, but don't need (hence its namesake). Everything is a touch overpriced, so I can never justify getting anything when I stop in. Someday, though. Someday. -

I stop here every time I go shopping on State Street. They have a terrific selection of handbags and totes. The Lug Travel line is a favorite of mine, and the prices at Little Luxuries are comprable with ones on the internet for these bags. They also have a lot of colorful, eco-friendly reusable very portable shopping bags.
There are always a bunch of cute hair accessories on display, along with unique gifts for children (with vintage flair) and home items.
If you need a tin robot, new headband, sunglasses, a necklace to go with your date-night outfit, lavender hand lotion, an art glass switchplate for the kitchen or a sake set, this place has it. A Madison original, I love going to shop at Little Luxuries. I just wish I could afford to do so for myself, rather than just for gifts. -

I hate this store, on the outside it looks like something I'd prefer to pass up since I don't really "need" anything from here. But then I go inside and come out a few hundred dollars poorer. They have the coolest accessories and home decorating items. I feel in love with these damn tiles they have and need to buy every one for my kitchen. Things are very unique and special that I haven't seen other places.

This store is my absolute favorite State Street shop. I have been coming here for years, and whenever I am in town, I make it a point to stop by. This shop is especially great for birthday/holiday gifts - I think you could find something for everyone.

Great place for special gifts and trinkets for yourself, your home etc. I love their selection of hair accessories--from headbands to sparkling jeweled pins. Another fun find were erasers imported from Japan for about $1 a piece. Yes, little animal, hamburger, and fries eraser.

Over the past couple of years, I have been in here a few times for gifts. A few things I like about Little Luxuries: free giftwrapping, nice selection of colorful stainless steel water bottles, excellent cards, and cute sunglasses for $10.

One of my favorite place to shop on State Street. In particular for sunglasses, bags, and other gifts for my friends. (and for myself) Little Luxuries includes novelty items as well as a nice array of jewelery and well crafted bags and home decorating items. (including a laptop case that I bought 3 years ago and STILL get compliments) I would describe tihis store as Pop Deluxe with slightly more useful things.. but not THAT much more useful.

They do have some cute stuff here, but it is VERY pricey. I've gotten some cute sunglasses and hair accessories, but I also paid quite a bit for a vacuum thermos that started leaking when I poured only a couple of weeks after I bought it. For what they charge for their stuff, it should be better-made than that.

Hi Cabell, so sorry you got a defective vacuum. Please… More » -

Strolling down Madison's state street for the first time, I was looking for places to shop after I found a place for lunch. Little Luxuries' name and design caught my eye and I made a point to check out the store after my stomach was content. This store is well named! It has a lot of cute accessories that you don't necessarily need but want. It's a small shop but holds a lot of goodies. Some items are pricey but I wouldn't say everything is. It's a great place to get special/unique gifts that the gift recipient would really like! Even though state street has a lot of little shops, this one stands out in my mind. I loved this store and will definitely go back.. if i ever make another trip to madison.

FYI... this place just moved to 230 State Street. Somehow I missed the move and was horrified that it appeared to have closed. Thankfully it only moved, making it continuously easy to get gifts.

This is a must stop for me when I am in Madison. I have been a fan of it since the late 80s, when I lived there. I once stacked a silk tweed scarf for several years before it became reduced in price - I now own it! I first discovered The Thymes there about 10 years ago. I panicked last summer when I thought it had closed, now I know it's where the Puzzlebox used to be. Another old favorite, now gone. Ah, Madison!

Amazing little store, great inventory. Sometimes gets crowded. My only complaint is that I've never bought anything there because it is rather pricey. But it would be a great place to find a unique gift.
