At Fancy Goods Variety, it’s always a family affair as the mother, daughter and daughter-in-law “try to be more fancy every day.” 

Leslie Self had just left her job in a law firm when her mother, Diane Clower decided to pursue a variety store.  Clower had always wanted to own and operate her own business when she saw a need to sell gifts and toys in Vestavia Hills. So Clower, Self and Carmen Clower opened Fancy Goods Variety Feb. 4, 2012. 

The store specializes in gifts, toys and party goods, and its mission is to provide a good selection of unique, fun gifts in a wide price range.  Recently, the team has added handcrafted items such as jewelry, paintings, marinara sauce, spicy dip mixes and more to its inventory. They plan to continue to add more one-of-a-kind items by local artisans.
