Our Story

Flourish is a small, woman-owned gift shop based in Buffalo, New York. With a decade of retail experience and an entrepreneurial spirit, owner Amy is proud to finally have opened the "little shop" she's always dreamt of.

Flourish began as Amy Lee Books and Beads, a pop-up shop at local craft shows and festivals in Western New York, featuring Amy's handmade jewelry and the books she and her husband authored. After a successful stint in a McKinley Mall kiosk during the 2023 holiday season, the shop transitioned into a permanent location. Rebranded as Flourish Gift Shop in February 2024, it found its perfect home inside the mall by May 6, 2024, marking the realization of Amy's long-held dream. Now, Flourish is truly living up to its name!
