Our Story
Gifts for them, gifts for you, gifts for home and hearth
My Oyster is located across the street from Crescent Beach- lovingly remembered as the Kite Shop. Store owner Melissa Sitbon Philip visited this shop in her childhood, then as an adult with her own children to buy kites for the season. To create My Oyster in this space brought feelings of excitement and nostalgia.
In the words of Melissa, "To know Block Island is to love it. The rolling hills meeting the crashing ocean, the charm of Victorian homes tucked into coves, even the smells and the sounds have swept visitors and artists off their feet for centuries. Block Island inspires. It evokes the feeling of being back in time, simple, but dressed up as well. With the natural glamour of breath taking sunsets, lighthouses and perfectly imperfect stone walls, it’s the ultimate mix of rustic and an unintended, casual elegance. This was the inspiration for My Oyster. Loving all things poetic, and by combining the organic vitality of flowers with the warmth of My Oyster, a beautiful poem was created. This little hideaway is overflowing with beautiful things for your nest and yourself. Stop by, take a look, you’ll feel right at home."
My Oyster brings to Block Island an eclectic shop filled with all things beautiful. Mixed with Melissa's passion for floral design, this unique boutique offers fresh floral arrangements and bouquet deliveries all summer on the island.
You could have a bouquet delivered to someone special... or even yourself! If there is someone on Block Island you want to surprise with a flower delivery, give us at call at (401)466-2076.
Delivery & Returns
In placing an order to be shipped, we charge a standard handling fee of $15. This covers us for any packaging necessities- such as wrapping glassware, delicate items, large items, and other miscellaneous extras. We want you to receive your order safely, demonstrating care and beauty!
Of course, heavier and larger items will cost more to ship than small, lightweight items. For this reason, we have set different shipping options for different products. When placing your order, be sure to note the shipping costs (especially for home goods).
We deliver to just about anywhere in the "mainland" U.S., or elsewhere, depending on shipping prices. If you are unsure about whether or not we ship to your area, send us an email or send us an Instagram/Facebook message before completing your order.
If you place an order during the summer season, you can select the pick-up option if you would like! Please allow a minimum of 24 hours for us to receive, process and prepare your order. You will receive a notification when the order is ready for pickup.
If you receive an item that is damaged or defective, please reach out to us ASAP so that we can replace it for you or offer a refund. Photos are greatly appreciated so that if there is an issue with the product, we can send such issues to the sellers the items came from. Upon receiving your order, please inspect the items to ensure no damage occurred during shipping. We offer refunds in the form of store credit and will only accept exchanges/refunds within 30 days of receiving the order. Refunds for damaged/defective items will be sent directly to the card used to place the order. Others will be issued in the form of a gift card. Exchanges can be mailed back to My Oyster, but shipping costs will need to be covered. Items must be unused and in original packaging.
Payment Info
Online payment methods include credit and debit cards (must be issued in the U.S.). We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Card payment may be combined with gift card payments.
For pickup orders, we accept cash in-store, but we will charge a $15 preparation fee as we would for online orders.
