Find that Special Something

Unique gift items for all occasions can be found at Surceé Home Décor & Gifts.

Susan Hanchette, long-time employee of Surceé.

April showers bring May ­flowers, but the month of May also brings many special ­occasions, each a gift-giving opportunity for loved ones and close friends. And of course, you want to give a gift that shows them your heartfelt sentiments. That’s a lot of pressure. But for those who have discovered Surceé Home Décor & Gifts in Owasso, gift giving is easy, and you can be confident that ­everything you give will be ­distinctive and unique.

    Owner Laura Sanders prides herself on locating a wide variety of items everyone would be thrilled to receive, while keeping her customers’ budgets in mind too. “I have amazing gifts for Mother’s Day, graduation, baby showers and weddings, all priced under $25,” she says. “Most have multiple people on their gift lists, so by shopping Surceé they can find one-of-a-kind items all reasonably priced.”

    Surceé has some terrific options for graduations, ­including monogrammed bath wraps, luggage, storage bins to help organize tiny dorm rooms, and keepsake items engraved and personalized for the new ­graduate.

    Brighton is offering an exceptional deal just in time for Mother’s Day. Called “Ears to You,” this amazing offer can ­certainly help everyone stretch their gift-giving dollars. Simply purchase any Brighton necklace and bracelet from April 26-May 12 and you will receive free your choice of Brighton earrings. That’s a deal that’s hard to beat.

    Recently the A&M Flower Stand opened its new location in front of Surceé in the parking lot of Tyann Plaza. For those who have become loyal customers of A&M, you might remember their old location in front of Reasor’s on 86th Street North. But this year they have moved north and Laura is thrilled. “We are very excited to have them as part of our location.”

    Laura is also excited about ­several fun activities going on at her store during the month of May. The first is May 4, when her annual Sidewalk Sale will coincide with the Owasso Bouquet of Gardeners Spring Festival. The festival features a huge variety of garden ­accessories, trees, plants, musical entertainment and more.

    Fiesta Night is set for May 6, and it is no accident that this celebration falls on the same night as the grand opening of Los Cabos, the restaurant now occupying the space that was ­formerly Delta Café. “We know customers will face long wait times at Los Cabos on that first night,” says Laura. “We invite them to walk down to our store, where we are serving chips and salsa and margaritas, while we heat things up with some sizzling specials of our own.”

    Laura has owned Surceé for the past six years, while the store itself has been an Owasso ­mainstay for almost 10. She attributes her loyal customer base to her friendly and ­knowledgeable staff, most who have been with her for years. Susan Hanchette is a long-time member of the Surceé family. “I get the opportunity to help our customers with so many major events in their lives,” says Susan. “We have the perfect items to decorate their new home or for them to give at a baby shower – amazing items that they can be proud to pass on to someone. I love that I get to help people find the perfect item for all their major life events.”

    Surceé has an impressive collection of bracelets and ­necklaces that can all be ­monogrammed and personalized, and a huge collection of custom charms. “We have expanded our store to include many items that you might not expect to find at a gift shop,” explains Laura. “We have beautiful wedding gifts, ­decorating and cook books, ­outdoor entertaining items, home décor, furniture and an extensive line of bubble bath, lotions, candles and perfumes.” One baby gift item that Laura cannot seem to keep in stock are called “Chew Beads.” These are stylish silicone “teething” jewelry designed for the new mom to look stylish while allowing her baby to do what comes naturally, chew on mom’s jewelry. “These make fun and functional baby gifts, and they have been ­incredibly difficult to keep on the shelves!”

    A new line added to the Surceé lineup is retro Tulsa gift items including Tulsa dish ­towels, coffee mugs and many other hostess gifts all designed around iconic Tulsa landmarks. “We already offer Oklahoma gift items and they have been ­incredibly popular,” Laura states. “I can’t wait to see how this new line is received.”

    Store hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Sunday. Be sure to find Surceé on Facebook for new product lines, special events and more.
