One of my favorite stores to visit in Petoskey! So many lovely items and a kind and helpful staff. I discovered a quality issue with a product I bought a few weeks ago and was so pleased with the kindness from the employees when I brought it to their attention. I had a swift and satisfactory resolution. The top- notch customer service is so appreciated! Thank you.

This is my favorite gift shop in Michigan, and I’ve been to quite a few. They have a wonderful selection of interesting things in all price ranges with a key word being “affordable.” They have great, reasonably priced group of soft t-shirts and sweatshirts; Petoskey stones; items with local lakes’ names; creative kids gifts; a fun selection of shoes/sandals/ moccasins; lodge decor; jewelry; funny gifts; and more. They have other shops right nearby with beautiful and unique decor items and gifts. You’ll love them!

Summer visit was delightful, safe distancing for the time we have been living in. Great fun and unique gifts we found for Christmas. We also got goodies for ourselves. They were friendly and it was a great time shopping a local shop. Keep it up!

Thank you for such quick service on an order I placed. I was after a certain dLori Mitchell figurine. You called me back promptly and then sent it very quickly. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it arrived in Indianapolis on Friday morning. Thank you for your help. Your store has wonderful items from cards to seasonal items. It is always on my “must see” list when I am in Petoskey.
