tried to get in but i guess they were closed for easter. this place was recommended by a colleague of my wife and was on the list for a visit. wish we would have been able to shop but it's still close enough for a day trip.

Gifts galore! Great variety, something for every age and occasion, including a bargain basement. Put this on your list of essential places to spend some time when you are in the area.

Very expensive and used to have a lot more unique things. Now it's mostly Okoboji shirts and sweatshirts. 100's of them. Pretty much the whole store. It's really not worth your time.

I have been to this gift shop many times. I like the atmosphere there and the variety of gifts and niche items to look at. I will admit it's a bit pricey.

This place is absolutely amazing. The owner and Her staff are the bees knees 🤣. Super helpful and a massive array of merchandise.

This place is where you go if you want souvenirs. There is so much going on from the minute you walk in. The shirts they sell don't shrink so you can assure you get the right size. They have jellies and jams, a giant kids and toys section, okoboji and spirit lake shirts, stuffed animals, books, jewelry, cards, blankets, and just so much more. You have to stop here if you are on vacation! It was so fun!

Love the place! There's a lot of gift/souvenir items to choose from. Lovely paintings on the walls and pretty much great finds of assorted memorable things to bring home from Lake Okoboji.

AMAZING! This place is an absolute gem. My whole family was blown away by the quality and quantity of goods - so many cool kids books, games, toys, figurines, collectibles, etc. Also a great selection of items you'd expect to find in any regional gift shop (not just kids stuff). Barn Swallow is high on our list of places to visit every time we're in the Okoboji area.

Just love this store and the variety of items you can find from kid items to books to paintings to kitchen items. And so many cool nooks, upstairs downstairs!

Cutest gift shop I've seen! Every space was used! Upstairs was a cute kids gifts setup and the basement was full of great deals. Something for everyone and the staff was really kind too!

Loved this place, so much to see! Lots of unique items and something for everyone. I wish I had more room to take home some of their paintings, they were beautiful! Lots of rooms and stairs, so watch your step and don't get lost, lol.

There is SO much stuff that it's difficult to get around in the store. Merchandise is nice, but prices are high.

We visit town every year around Christmas and this is a must for our vacation. You can find gifts, enjoy shop kitties, and just enjoy the beautiful shop. Will always keep going back!

Always has such variety of great things. Just wish was alittle less packed so you could move and look around more.

This is an amazing shop you must stop by to see if you have time. It looks small on the outside, but it is wall-to-wall stuff. Very neat place to go. A bit overpriced, but that's what I would expect at a "gift shop".

This gift shop and bookstore is a must stop for our family. Particularly when the kids have Christmas or birthday money to spend. They have a broad and unique selection of merchandise.

Such a beautiful store with products filling every nook you can find! When you think you have reached the end of the store, you find another nook around the corner! They have great prices and the lady running the store is so friendly and patient. I will definitely be coming back again!

Its a really cool place, there's multiple levels and multiple rooms each floor with a lot of stuff so you feel like even going back into the same room you'll find something new and cool. It is mostly apparel and children's stuff now, I wish there was more variety. I was there about 14 years ago and it was a lot more disorganized in the best way with more stuff to see which I personally liked more, like there used to be a Pandora bracelet area and a cat room but today it's still very nice. If your going to get Okoboji souvenirs, this is the place to go.

I am a summer resident and I visit here first thing! My happy place is the Clearance basement-a wonderland of 75% off items-jewelry, decor, accessories, baby, wall art, books, etc. The store is a converted house and just keeps going and going! They also have kittens for adoption who roam freely. So cute! Rare to find a guy here. Amazing selection, beautiful displays.

Lots of cool stuff, but not much for souvenirs. Tees and Sweatshirts are about 20% more expensive than other shops.

Always find lovely gifts, I always go to find a gift for a specific person/event and come out with presents for others down the road as well. We got talking and didn't get them wrapped though, worked out ok, I had to stop home before the party anyhow.

If you are looking for Okoboji clothing or gifts that are not branded with a bar or restaurant name this is the place to go. The selection is great and there is helpful service. The basement has clearance stuff and is worth checking out because there are times when you can find something great for a surprising price.
