About Q Boutique

Nestled in the heart of Saint Louis’ eclectic Central West End, Q Boutique—the award-winning gift shop of the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF)—has become a shopping destination not to be missed. Although the online store focuses on chess apparel, autographed collectibles, and tournament gear, the brick-and-mortar location is stocked with a curated selection of all-occasion offerings including unique jewelry, clever kids’ games, custom accessories, quirky greeting cards, books for all ages and a variety of locally-made goods, juxtaposed with the region’s best selection of chess sets.

Whether you’re searching presents for a hard-to-shop-for friend or a last-minute addition to your holiday list, this neighborhood boutique makes it easy to be a gift-giving guru. Purchases at Q Boutique are tax-free, benefiting the exhibitions and programs of the WCHOF, a nonprofit dedicated to exploring chess and its remarkable impact on art and culture.

Q Boutique has been awarded Best Games & Gifts in Saint Louis Magazine's A List of 2014, Best Kept Secret by Alive Magazine's Hot List 2014, as well as Best Gift Shop by Riverfront Times in 2012.
