About
BETH & SARA NESS
Here is some of what the Lowcountry Companion has said…
Sara & Beth Gifts and Home is a charming neighborhood boutique nestled in Historic Downtown Georgetown. Step inside, and a few words immediately come to mind: beautiful, elegant, and impeccably curated.
A little background—before starting this venture, Beth Ness owned The Added Touch, a beloved women’s boutique on Front Street. Eventually, she stepped away to focus on raising her children and assisting her husband, Phillip Ness, at their family pharmacy. If you’re a local, chances are you already know the Ness family—Beth is a true Georgetown native.
The boutique offers an exquisite variety of home décor, gifts, art, fashion, and jewelry—making it the ideal place to find a special gift or a stylish accent for your home. Chic, colorful, and thoughtfully designed, the shop is a true reflection of their impeccable taste.

the STORY
Sara & Beth Gifts and Home began in 2016 inside the Ness family’s pharmacy—where the idea first took root and quickly began to bloom. At the time, Beth was managing the pharmacy, and Sara was still in high school, but together they poured their energy into nurturing the boutique. What was once a space for diabetic shoes was thoughtfully transformed into a charming gift shop.
Sara spent many afternoons after school at the boutique, processing inventory, handwriting sales tickets, and wrapping gifts. Those early days were filled with heart, hustle, and the beginnings of something truly special.
As their vision expanded, so did the need for more space. After years of running the pharmacy together, Phillip and Beth decided it was time for a new adventure. They sold the pharmacy and poured their passion fully into the boutique. In September 2020, they moved to their first full-time location at the corner of King and Prince Streets, embracing a new chapter in a space that perfectly captured their evolving style.
Beth led the way with creativity and determination, while Sara headed off to college, continuing to support the business from afar—managing technology and behind-the-scenes operations to help keep things running smoothly.
After three and a half wonderful years there, they made another exciting move in January 2024—this time to their current home on Front Street. With each chapter, their style has evolved, but their heart and creativity have remained the same.
In 2024, Sara officially rejoined the team full-time, bringing her fresh perspective, eye for style, and passion for curating the perfect gifts and décor. Today, Sara and Beth travel to market each season, hand-selecting beautiful, unique pieces to keep their boutique ever-changing, ever-inspired, and always full of heart.
