89 Baker St. Maplewood, NJ 07040
Eileen and John Dilley, Maplewood residents since 1973, opened the doors of the Bee & Thistle Antique Shop that same year. Now in its 37th year serving Maplewood, the Bee & Thistle continues to enjoy its reputation as the first and last choice for quality gifts and antiques. Since The Bee & Thistle is more of a boutique than the usual gift shop, the shop provides you a wide range of both antiques and new gift items.

As you will note from the list of offerings on the right, we can provide virtually everything from a bookmark to a wedding gift, and, believe it or not, we have actually had brides register at the shop. Eileen has a background in retailing and décor, and she routinely provides customers with ideas for the perfect gift for a special occasion, and John has a knack for repairing chairs and small furniture so stop in or give them a call.
The Bee & Thistle is:
Maplewood’s first and last stop for gifts and fine antique accents
A true boutique with a choice of upscale new or antique gifts for any occasion
Maplewood’s choice for over 36 years with its local and original owners
The Bee & Thistle offers the following services:
Eileen is everyone’s choice as gift consultant with both her experience and expertise; be your own decorator…we’ll help!
Chairs repaired. Seats can be done in cane (pressed & hole), rush, splint, even Shaker tape.
Gift baskets: special order, corporate, essentially—you name it!
Gift certificates for those in doubt
