Karson Butler Events at the Ah Louis Store - San Luis Obispo, California

One of my favorite places to stop in SLO! I always find the perfect gifts and am sure to leave with a lot of inspiration after walking through the store. The way Emily and Amber embrace and celebrate every season to make it feel larger than life is SO special for the community. The window displays and carefully curated selection they bring in are always on trend. Seeing the shop expand through the years has been incredible, they are always outdoing themselves!! I look forward to the Christmas transformation and the Lunar New Year and Valentine celebrations to follow each and every year 💕 Ordering online has been amazing since I moved out of town. Emily is always posting on Insta stories about what’s new, you can’t help but head to their website to shop!!

Whatever the holiday, or if you just need an excuse to cheer you or someone else up, KBE at the Ah Louis Store is your place to go. Best gift shop in the world. Really. And what is more important than a gift to encourage a smile in someone else? Or you may be inspired to throw a memorable party with their fabulous goodies. Take your time to look around and enjoy the historic space too. Highly recommend. A SLO Treasure.

I am sad 5 is the highest rating - I would
give a million if I could! Emily the shop owner has helped me multiple times pick out gifts - and recently this holiday I ordered my kids teachers baskets. They all FREAKED out saying it was the best holiday gift they have ever gotten from a student! They are incredibly patient and their store is curated beautifully. As someone who doesn’t live in CA I am so appreciative of them setting up facetime shopping appointments!!! Cannot wait to shop again!

First time shopper here! I popped into the Ah Louis store over the holidays and purchased the most special ornament for my tree. I can tell a lot of thought and curation is put into this store and it shows. I’ll be returning again for my next special purchase.

The most special and thoughtfully curated gift and party shop in town. In the beautiful historic building, and the owners are involved in creating so many special core memory events in town. A true gem.
