Hip & Humble

I work right across the street from H&H as a barista so I get to chat with some of the employees before they go in to work. Rachel and Sheridan are so sweet to me, even if I come in wearing my dirty coffee clothes and ugly shoes.
The store is perfect, so charming and full of options for anyone on your gift list. (Even yourself) I’ve honestly never gone in and left empty handed. I’ve almost been in tears over gifts for people and with the help of any member of their staff or a lap around the store I’ve turned my mood around, found some great stuff, and have had a great conversation.
Stuff I love from here: clothing of course, fabric detergent, kitchen goodies, rugs and little knick knacks to buy to remind people you love them. Greeting cards, and candles. Oh yeah! Unique shoes, I wish I could afford to buy them all. They last, are comfortable and always have my size.
Great prices. Love you hip and humble, thanks for being you.

Beautiful & Bountiful.
The interior of this store is fun and arty. They’ve converted elements of a residential home like a vintage refigerator or sink into cute little showcases for merch. Things are arranged in sensible groupings like makeup, clothing, stationary etc. The store is much bigger than you’d expect, and it’s very relaxing to stroll among the natural light and hardwoods.
The gift items in the store seem about ²⁄₃ higher end mass market stuff and ¹⁄₃ localish and or smal run. I don’t tend to like giftshop gifts, but I found the trend here towards more thoughtful, unique and useful items.
Customer service is excellent. Was warmly greeted and given all the attention I needed trying to find a Mother’s Day gift.

A treat to be able to walk In this store! The shoe selection is one of the best in Salt Lake City. Need a gift for mom, friend, coworker?.. You won’t be disappointed. Never leave empty handed when I go in!

So basically if you want to give a gift to someone, no matter what kind of person the gift is for, stick with the shops around 9^th&9^th. I love Cahoots, but Hip & Humble is just as wonderful, but for a different type of gift. This is great for finding little knickknacks for the home, from tea infusers to aprons to books or jewelry. There are a lot of cute journals and notepads for specific types of writing (I bought a gratitude journal here a while back and it’s been a great way to reflect on things I’m blessed with). There’s a lot of cute novelty items, and I regularly stop in here when looking for a housewarming gift for a friend. The staff is friendly and does not probe at all the way many do in a smaller gift shop, which just makes shopping here an even more enjoyable experience!

Hip & Humble is my go to when I need to find the perfect gift for a family member or friend. It has a variety of items which makes it so easy to find the best gifts plus they gift wrap for free and make it look like I went above and beyond
Love the shoes & jewelry too! The staff is wonderful and always so kind and helpful! Love this local shop!

Hip & Humble is my favorite store in Salt Lake City. The store has a little bit of everything and it’s all awesome. Jewelry, home décor, gifts, kitchen stuff… all kinds of lovely stuff. When I’m in Salt Lake and I need to buy a gift, Hip & Humble is my first, and usually only, stop.

I really do love this store and I usually find something fun in there, but I always feel like I should have found more once I leave the store. It’s a very cute little bungalow full of gifts, jewelry, clothes and kitchen gadgets, but I always feel like I can’t quite find what I’m looking for.
It’s in the trendy area of 9^th and 9^th in Salt Lake and I love that it’s in a remodeled home, but it’s also full to the brim and I frequently feel a bit claustrophobic and like I might brush by something and break it. All that being said, it’s bright and cheery and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I do feel it’s a bit overpriced, but that might be just me.
I will definitely continue to shop there and I think it’s a great addition to the neighborhood.

Let me begin by saying I adore this store and have bought a wide range of adorable clothes here — including my favorite «dressy» jacket, which is black with green polka dots and totally looks like something French and so, tres, tres chic — cute and beloved jewelery items, stationary, and other wee gift items, both for friends and family, who have all oohed and ahhed over the quirky/​cute. I love their selection, though I do agree with an earlier poster who said they wish there was more local artist’s goods instead of stuff from China… ahem. I know it would bring the prices up some, but I think many would be willing to pay.
That being said, I do have some constructive feedback regarding customer service. While I have always found it to be friendly and always helpful and attentive (I have been coming to the store sine 2007), I have recently found it to be more keyed up and just plain pushy, something I really don’t expect — or want — in most boutiques in Salt Lake, especially in a hip neighborhood which I tend to imagine gets enough traffic that it doesn’t need this kind of sales pitch. I can’t assume though. I know the economy hasn’t been so awesome these days.
Are they working on commission or expected to meet quotas? Is this why? Or is it simply the directive from higher up? I understand, you need to keep your business up and running, you have to be competitive. But at a certain point, it doesn’t feel like personalized service but simply a push to make sure you buy SOMETHING. I don’t want to have something shoved in my hands just so you can take my money. We both know that is the end goal here, but please help me walk away with something I actually want. You will pretty much guarantee my return patronage that way.
I was once in here and watched one of the salespeople try to sell a woman a pair of white skinny jeans (ok, no thanks) that she clearly didn’t like or want and explicitly said «you know, I realize they look ok on my, but honestly, I probably wouldn’t ever wear these.» Honest and to the point. The saleswoman, instead of saying something along the lines of «ok, lets find you something else you love instead!» proceeded to explain to her where, how and why she would wear them ALL THE TIME like she just didn’t know it yet… The customer looked uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable for her, and made a note to dodge this salesperson. If I was her, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to come back…
Yeah, I know that sounded scathing, but overall I love what these guys have to offer, the store is very attractive with cute stuff. Hence the four stars. Just please take it down a notch?

This is a fun shop that has alot of really cute and unique items. The staff is very friendly. I love the atmosphere of this shop.

Amazing! The jewelry alone is to die for and reason enough to make the stop here. The home goodies are great, lots of cute little additions for the kitchen. But no joke, I went over board on the jewelry here– all great pricing– from $ 18 to $ 180 so something for everyone. Clothing is great too, shoes are fun. Great boutique and really well put together.

Absolutely love this store. So many fun cute things to look at and purchase. Some of it is pricey but some of it is reasonable too so there’s something for everyone. They have pretty jewelry, fun purses, clothes, and a lot of amazing home items. I love wandering around the store because it’s so bright and cheerful.
Hip & Humble is usually one of my very first stops if I’m looking for a gift for someone. They also do gift wrapping so that your gift looks really fancy.

Squee!
I mean, if I weren’t so manly that’s the noise I would make each time I walked in the door here.
Oh shoot, who am I kidding? Nobody, that’s who. I squeeeeed like a schoolgirl discovering Hello Kitty for the first time when I walked in the door at Hip & Humble. It is indeed so hip. And so humble. Located in the radness that is the 9^th & 9^th neighborhood, it’s one of those old homes turned into shops that I absolutely adore. Thtat’s squeeworhty right there, but then you pack it full of treasures for your home, gifts for friends, and classy but hip clothes in the back and you’ve got a recipe for exsqueem cute overload.
Come here for inspiration. Find that little something for your friends that they never knew they wanted and don’t know how they could ever live without it. Or get away from the same-​ol clothing and head to the room in the back with just enough clothes to peruse with your gal-​pals.
Soaps, bath products, candles, accessories. A veritable treasure trove of delight squeee-​zed into one delightfully cozy old building.
Wait for it…
Wait for it.
Squeeeeeeeee!

I came in the other day and received a hot fresh sugar cookie to enjoy while I shopped. I did indeed enjoy.

Each year I visit family in SLC, they always take me here. It’s one of my favorite places to stimulate the Utah economy with California dollars.
The shop is adorable with wood floors and a cosy feel. Sometimes the quarters can be a bit close especially if there are more than a few people shopping. They always have an eclectic mix of housewares, stationery, perfume and jewelry.
I always look forward to returning.

A store in the 9^th & 9^th area in a little cottage. It’s hip & humble in a Salt Lake City sort of way (which is ok, because, well… it’s in SLC), but it had mostly things that I’ve already seen a ton of in San Francisco – same candles, soaps, accessories, etc. they did have some handbags, though, that I’ve not seen before that were kind of cool and really reasonably priced.
I would have loved to have seen some locally made ‘hip & humble’ crafty type of things rather than just more tchoschky manfactured in China.
What I thought was really a nice touch was that the owner was there, offering fresh baked cookies and bottled water to people as they came in the door.
