Patch Picks: Boutiques

Snellville doesn't have one of those mega malls, and the merits of such a place are debatable, for sure. However, there are tons of well-known chains and other stores throughout the city and its immediate surrounding area. Today in our weekly Patch Picks column, we're featuring boutiques. These are those small, specialty stores of gifts, fashionable clothes, accessories or food.

Here are five in the Snelville area:
