Bringing small presents for your loved ones back from a trip is a usual practice for many people. Visiting Ljubljana, you can find many different souvenir shops around the city centre but if you would like to buy something cute, a stop at the small and charming Babushka Boutique is a must.
In this shop in the city centre I usually find the best selection of products from Slovenia and abroad. Either a unique brooch, fashionable earrings, porcelain tea cups or warm slippers made by Slovenian and foreign artists, it's all made to make people happy.
Product selection is carefully picked by Neva who is the owner of the shop. She welcomes everybody in her shop with a smile on her face and she is probably one of the most friendly saleswomen I know in Ljubljana. She always takes her time to help customers find the best gift. With a step into this friendly boutique full of creativity your time will fly while browsing the shelves and enjoying the beauty of carefully selected pieces.
Also check out Babushka's Instagram account, Neva always posts some cute photos and you can also win some gifts at her monthly giveaway.
