SCOUT of marion

A beautiful shop of eclectic, tasteful gifts, home goods, paper products , and carefully chosen books. There is also a small selection of specialty food and cocktail ingredients. It's a pleasure to be inspired by a visit here.

CUTE store! They have books, cards, candles, so many things! Great place for gifts or treating yourself to a little something. Section of kids and baby items if looking for birthday or shower gifts. Also the floor is a the original of an old hotel lobby, the owner shared some history of the space. Lovely experience!

Whenever I’m in Marion I make time to stop in to SCOUT. Such a delightful little shop with unique gifts and home goods. I especially enjoy the selection of drink mixers and specialty cheese! And I always find a little something for my home or to use as a gift.

Oh my, this shop has a little bit of everything. I picked up some adorable napkins for my dining table.
I am looking forward to picking up some cheese on my next visit.

Great local shop with a hand chosen flair. Awesome unique finds that you will simply need to have in your life. The owner Nikki, is so friendly and a real treasure to the community. You have to check this place out.

Best products! A little something for everybody! Got some great ideas from the owner for gifts. Super friendly and helpful all around. Gotta go back when I don’t have my son with me so I can really peruse their cooking and bar sections.

One of the best stores around! The customer service is out of this world and the products are always super interesting and keeps me coming back for more. Perfect place to find gifts for the hard to shop for (or even yourself!)

This is a lovely store with a delightful owner! I found several items that I can use to level up some otherwise ordinary dishes! It's also the perfect spot to find a that perfect gift to spoil your loved ones with. I wish I lived closer, it would be my gifting go to!

SCOUT is my absolute favorite stop in the area! I no longer live in the state but whenever I am back visiting family, I make sure to take a trip to SCOUT. Every time I leave with a new gift for a loved one and usually something for me. I’ve never walked out empty handed. It’s such a fun place to walk around and see the latest things they’ve gotten in!

We were given a gift card by a friend of ours and decided to check this place out. We were not disappointed! The gals Nikki and Nikki (sorry if I spelled that wrong) are super sweet and friendly! Always checking in on the patrons in the store and offer great recommendations for other local places to shop and eat. They get some great stuff from local artisans as well as some fantastic home, beauty, and pet products. Highly recommend! We are most definitely going to be regulars here!

Really cool little store. Stopped in for some different gifts for the wife and mom, more than enough things to choose from. The staff was super helpful and willing to show me around to look at a few things. Everything seemed like nice higher quality stuff, and the kinds of things you can't just find on Amazon. They had quite the variety, from bath and body stuff, to cooking supplies, to homegoods and some food. Good place to get something a bit different.

Oh, boy. This place. It's magical. You're hard-pressed to find a place like this in the area. I recently moved back to Cedar Rapids from a suburb of NYC, and Nikki filled the sudden lack of amenities I left behind. She's brought big city goods and glamour to Marion. The products are inspired. My husband got me two gifts from Scout for mother's day. When I saw the Scout sticker on the wrapping paper, I was elated, because I knew I would like anything he could have picked from there. Sure enough, I was not disappointed. In addition to great products, the customer service is stellar. They're the friendliest. Tammy gave me a gift to congratulate me on my pregnancy, and more than once, Nikki has added some kind of complimentary good to my purchase. I'm not sure that happens often, but what I'm trying to say is--if these ladies can think of any way to go above and beyond good service, they'll do it.

Looking for gifts? Look no further than scout of marion! It's store has unique items. Like French bath items that not only is the packaging appealing to look at but its luxurious to have. Nikki was fabulous to work with letting us browse. The kitchen items i could browse at eat day and never seen the same thing twice. Lots of copper and gold . I was getting a gift for a friend and she wrapped the items in gold and ribbon. Wow! I'm a huge fan

Love Scout! I stumbled across the store on Instagram and have been obsessed ever since. Tammy and Nikki always are so sweet and helpful! I never leave the store empty handed. They have gifts for literally everyone! Pricing is nice too because they have something for every budget!

One of the coolest stores I've been to, period. Easily the best the Cedar Rapids and Marion area. SCOUT has all the obscure and beautiful gifts you want, and then all the others you didn't know you wanted, but now do. There is always something new to look at, and if nothing else, Nikki and the team always make great conversation.

You want to experience personalized shopping, online with pick up or stroll through the store?... Then this is the place! Unique gift items, fun kitchen and home gadgets, great candles and lotions for any mood. Don't miss out on this Marion shop! Keep it local!

Love this shop! I always find something new when I stop in and the owner is a wonderful resource for all they sell!

This shop has also totally upped my gift-giving game — whenever I see something that I know a loved one would be crazy about I immediately buy it and all my gifts have been a hit ever since they opened! Such a wonderful addition to Uptown Marion!

There is something for everyone here- absolutely adorable shop! You can tell they put a ton of work into making it a great experience for customers. Thanks SCOUT!!

THE best store in Cedar Rapids/Marion. Not even kidding. If you're looking for thoughtful, high-quality gifts for yourself or others, do yourself a favor and go straight to SCOUT. Nikki and the whole team are so thoughtful and generous with their time helping you pick out the perfect gift.

I Stopped in to find some masculine touches for my new pad. Was not disappointed to say the least. Nikki does a great job selecting her pieces. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a bit of style and class in their lives.
