I went to this store picking out something that I liked but wanted to check the other shops since I’ve never been to this Helen town. I come back 10 minutes before they close knowing they close at 6pm, the door is locked and a woman (with brown hair in a pony tail) sweeping wouldn’t unlock it. Then I proceed to call. A woman picked up the phone and I said “I guess you guys closed early, but I already know what I want. I would just have to grab it and check out.” She said “we already shut down the computers.”This was on 12/22/22 at 5:50pm. Managers, you may want to check on your employees who are pulling business from your company.Thanks! Happy Holidays!

I do not support business that continue to sell confederate flag merchandise. I spent my time and money elsewhere is Helen.

BUYER BEWARE!!!My two teenagers went in the store to buy a few souvenirs and the lady Ripped them off! She raised the price on Every item when clearly the prices were on the items. They bought only 6 junk items for $60+ which was outrageous! Scammer. Do not let your kids go in and buy without your presence, mind you they were 16,19. Had I been there, I would have caught that she was trying to rip them off.

Good looking gifts for cheap but the lady behind the desk was extremely rude to me, my boyfriend, and my mom. I didn't even wanna spend my money there after that so I didn't.

Not kind to persons of color, the person running the register was extremely rude, and they dont post any signage about not taking cards on transactions under $10 which is really odd when the other shops next to it can.

I was very disappointed by the horrendous treatment my family received at Alpine Festive of the Arts & Crafts in Helen. I was there with my children in the toy section, and they were picking out souvenirs for our trip. I knew there was a problem when the owner/manager (older grumpy woman with really long gray/blond hair) began not-so-covertly watching us from behind a Beanie Baby display.When I asked if there was a bathroom, she snarled "No! It's across the street, and you need to watch your kids or get out because they're running around and touching everything! They're going to break something!!!" Those are literally the very first words she spoke to me. I explained to her that my children were standing with me the entire time and they were only touching toys (that were out on the floor and at kid-touching eye level...in the toy section) as they were selecting what to purchase.She was instantly very angry and nasty. She genuinely looked as though she hated us (Hmm...I wonder why???) and insisted that they were going to break something and that we should "get out of the store." She continued to remark about how my kids were running all over the store and was clearly flustered when I pointed out that (1) all of my children were standing right there next to me watching her (foolish crazy behavior) and (2) all brown children in a store at the same time do not necessarily belong to the same mother (there were other brown families with children there and ***gasp*** we weren't related).I assured her that I would pay for anything and everything my children broke, as unlikely as that was, and calmly pointed out that the only thing my child, a 3 year old, had was a stuffed animal...which we were planning on purchasing before she lost her mind. I'm not sure how anyone breaks a stuffed animal, but after she continued to tell us to "get out" as my children were staring at her, my 7-year-old asked me, "Mommy, why does that lady hate us?" And on that note...we left.This store is horrible. The owner/manager is evil. I would NEVER come here again, and I suggest that families with children find one of the nice family-friendly Helen shops in which to spend their money.

Not a bad place for your typical tourist-type of stuff. Helen is a great place to go, and you can find numerous similar stores in town. This specific store seems to be the largest such type in Helen. I give it the two stars because I didn’t find the employees, on 3 separate occasions, to be the most polite or helpful. I also noticed an overcharge when things are added-up by hand at the counter.
