If you are the maid of honor, you don’t treat the bride to a toaster- even if it IS from William Sonoma! And men- if it’s a milestone anniversary or your sweetheart’s birthday- Isotoner’s are so ‘80’s… When you need a gift that says “I really thought about who you are before I bought this”- you do, Zazu.
Zazu is filled with a tremendous trove of upscale treats and treasures- from fancy European-sounding soaps and perfumes, to unique stationery and cards and anything in between. If you are going there with a specific idea in mind, share that with one of the friendly ladies who will drop everything to assist you. Otherwise- you will become so sidetracked with “wow- that is the coolest purse I’ve ever seen!” and “oooh- those really exist? I thought they were just props in Greta Garbo movies!” Focus is the one thing I truly can’t find in the nooks and crannies filled with unique delights in Zazu!
You can have almost anything you want monogrammed to create a special keepsake. Zazu also beautifully personalizes stationery, and have some of the most distinctive picture frames I have ever laid eyes on: bridal party frames, vintage frames, fun frames and leather frames… they can transform an ordinary photo into an interesting conversation piece. I picked up a collection of travel gifts for my closest friend when she was going to London for a week. A contraption that holds your paperback book open for you so your other hand is free to hold a drink, a fancy bejeweled journal, a London themed picture frame, and a small pretty travel bag for long flight necessities to be at her fingertips. I think she loved it- I haven’t seen any of it re-gifted yet…
When my son had an ice-skating party, they had the coolest hockey skate invitations- never has a child wanted so badly to fill out thank you cards. They have authentic Webkinz for the kids, complete with trading cards and accessories. Unique serving trays, flatware, stemware, decorative plates and blown glass- I’m barely scratching the surface, but you get the idea.
Don’t rush your way through Zazu- one, you might break something, and two, you might miss something. It’s just the kind of specialty shop that Ashburn is privileged to have. If you want 4 for $10.00 deals on standard every day items, there are a ton of places to get rubber stamp things like that.
But next time you have just an hour to yourself, skip Starbucks, and get your buzz from the captivating surprises and personalized services within their walls. Then, when you delight someone with a thoughtful, unexpected gift- you can say, “Why yes, I do- Zazu!”
