Most of us go into boutiques just to browse, because the fact is everyone can't afford to spend triple digits on a single item. Thankfully, Vivid in downtown Decatur is one boutique without the bourgeois. Although it appears to be the typical unaccessible haute spot, it's extremely affordable. Merchandise all surrounds the $20 price point.

Milled soaps, candles, home decor, handbags and jewelry are priced within reach.

If you visit, owner Christina Muir, will likely be engaged in a conversation with customers and simultaneously creating a custom piece of jewelry.. "It keeps costs down that way," she says. I do try to offer affordable gifts."

She greets visitors into the shop with a genuine hello and graciously answers any questions, exhibiting southern hospitality inside the French country themed storefront.

She was inspired to keep prices low when she found her self on an endless search to find a unique gift at a reasonable price. " I think I'm a pretty good representation of the typical shopper," she says. "People like things that are unique and nice that are a bit of a value."

So if you are in need of some personalized gifts that are a departure from the mass produced items on the shelves at the budget-friendly larger retailers, take a trip to Vivid a budget-friendly boutique.
