About Us | A Few Of My Favorite Things

Nestled in the heart of Pleasant Grove's historic Main Street, A Few Of My Favorite Things is more than just a shopping destination—it's a sanctuary for connection, creativity, and rejuvenation.

Our mission is to enliven your space and spirit through intentional curation and heartfelt hospitality, ensuring every guest feels truly at home.

Curated with heart. Styled with love. Shared with all.

A Few Of My Favorite Things was born from a vision to create more than a retail shop. Founder Melissa Martin, drawing on 13 years as a Theta Healing practitioner, set out to build a boutique offering a restorative experience for people of all ages and backgrounds. Supported by her family’s deep roots in Pleasant Grove and her father’s financial backing, Melissa sourced exceptional, high-end inventory and launched with unwavering stability. This foundation allows us to showcase exclusive international treasures from Italy, Russia, Spain, and Uganda, as well as to highlight the talents of local woodworkers and artists. Our doors are open to everyone—whether you’re a longtime resident, a new neighbor, or a visitor seeking a little piece of home.

Every item in our boutique is carefully chosen to evoke joy, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. We believe in the art of slow shopping—inviting guests to linger, sip tea, and discover unique finds at their own pace. Our curated selection includes high-end sterling silver jewelry, artisan woodwork, handcrafted soaps, and international gifts, each with a story to tell. We're committed to inclusion, representing all walks of life and fostering connections between the Pleasant Grove community and global artisans. Our specialty services, such as the complimentary tea shopping experience and the evolving local art gallery, support our mission to serve as both a neighborhood anchor and a bridge to the world beyond.
