We were visiting from Pittsburgh and stumbled in on a Saturday. Now it's a must-stop every time we're in town.

Gift Guidance

Selecting the perfect gift.

A few answers to the questions we hear most often about choosing something meaningful, thoughtful, and truly finished.

How do I choose the perfect gift for someone?

Start with what you know about them. Think about their hobbies, the colors in their home, or a small luxury they never buy for themselves. A gift that shows you pay attention always wins over something expensive but generic. When you visit, tell us a little about the person and we'll guide you to pieces that feel personal.

What makes a gift feel thoughtful rather than generic?

The finishing touch. A handwritten card, a ribbon tied just so, or a small extra that complements the main gift turns a present into a moment. We wrap every purchase complimentary, and we love suggesting pairings, a candle with a ceramic tray, a mini with a serveware piece, that make the whole gift feel considered.

Do you help with gift ideas if I don't know what to buy?

Absolutely, that's our favorite kind of challenge. Tell us who it's for, the occasion, and your budget, and we'll walk you through options until something clicks. No pressure, no rush. We've been doing this since 1979.

What's a good last-minute gift that still feels special?

Nora Fleming minis and serveware are instant crowd-pleasers. A hand-poured candle in a seasonal scent, a small artisan ceramic, or a beautifully wrapped hostess set all feel intentional and can be ready in minutes with our gift wrapping.

How do I pick a hostess gift or housewarming present?

Go for something that elevates everyday life. A hand-poured candle, a set of cocktail napkins, a small ceramic dish, or a seasonal wreath all say 'I thought of you' without needing to match someone's exact taste. We keep a ready selection of hostess-appropriate pieces near the front of the shop.

Can I put together a custom gift basket?

Yes. Mix a candle, a small ceramic, and a mini for a tabletop trio, or pair a tapestry pillow with a linen sachet. We'll arrange everything together, wrap it beautifully, and make it feel like a curated set rather than a collection of items.

Our Story

Upscale, but never stuffy.

The Finishing Touch Store opened on Market Street in 1979. Five decades on, we're still drawn to the same thing: beautifully made objects with a little personality. We're the shop you bring out-of-town guests to, and the one you slip into for a last-minute gift you'll be proud to give.
