Experience good taste, even tea at Iris Thrifts & Gifts

EWING, N.J. – Upon entering Iris Thrifts & Gifts store, a customer sees a variety of interesting, cute, and fashionable items for little girls and older ladies, and recently the store added tea to the list.

Last week, the store owners held an Afternoon Tea Party where they invited guests and patrons to enjoy a relaxing afternoon sipping tea and participating in activities, while also shopping at the store.

Iris Thrifts & Gifts owner said she organized the tea party because she wanted to promote the idea of simple, old-fashioned traditions of getting together, relaxing and having a cup of tea.

Located at 2124 Spruce St. in Ewing, Iris Thrifts & Gifts opened in February 2015 because the owner has a passion for thrifting and gifting.

According to the owner, the top-selling thrifting and gifting items in the store are usually women’s clothes. Other items include natural soaps, body butters, pots and pans, lamps, paintings, handbags, shoes, vases, Shades of Color afro-centric stationeries, Paparazzi jewelry, handmade stone hearts from Kenya, and even tea cups and saucers.

The thrift items are usually the nearly new stuff, whereas the gifts are the brand new items.

The owner of Iris Thrifts & Gifts said she likes the idea of combining the two: thrift items with simple, but also beautiful gifts.

She added that they try to focus on top-selling brands and good quality items at the store.

She also mentioned that the all-natural soaps, hand-carved stone hearts from Kenya, and the Paparazzi jewelry are popular for gifts, and that there are a variety of other unique and different gifts and thrifts items in the store.

Iris Thrifts & Gifts also supports other local organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club located next door on Spruce Street. They will donate partial proceeds from their recent Afternoon Tea Party to this local chapter.
