The shop offers a wide range of authentic souvenirs, including beautiful hand-carved items and insanely incredible wood and antler carvings at lower prices than other gift shops. Customers praise the shop's exceptional customer service, with one reviewer even receiving a replacement pair of earrings and a refund for the postage. The Rain Barrel is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking unique, locally-sourced items during their Alaska cruise or visit.
Beautiful collection of native Alaskan jewelry and art objects. Extremely helpful and professional staff. No pressure sales.

So many shops in town but this one is on higher end side. They are honest on what is made local, native made or imported. The Rain Barrel is worth stopping in and very close to the port.

This building used now Julie's. The Rain Barrel has moved. Still had excellent and quality items for sale.
