The Scene
A block from the chain store-filled Village shopping center, Blue Hand is a world away when it comes to atmosphere. Funky and unpolished, it's the place to go for the recipient on your gift list who prefers the unpredictable. The diversity of options ensures that you'll find treats for everyone from your teenage cousin (beaded curtain printed with Klimt's "The Kiss," perhaps?) to your Grandma (selection of glass perfume bottles?) in one odd, but satisfying stop.
The Goods
"Universal. Fun. Eclectic. This is what we are about," declares the sign outside, and a perusal of this Rice University-area gift shop confirms its veracity. The shop is jammed full of artifacts that hail from around the world, from Mexico to Africa and back again. Clothing, beaded and silver jewelry, home decor, candles, bongo drums, wind chimes, feng shui talismans and many more surprises can be found.

I have been shopping here for over 10 years and I would recommend that anyone who wants to enjoy shopping for a gift as much as one enjoys giving a gift this is the place to be. The variety is amazing, and you can always find a piece of unique jewelry or art. This Rice Village house is a place you just have to see to understand. So even if you live out in the suburbs you should make the drive and enjoy some time browsing in this little gem !
