“Everything we go to Spirit Lake/Okaboji, we ALWAYS stop in to Mary's Gift Shoppe!! It's a great place to shop & has very unique gifts! Everyone we take there has a great shopping experience! One of our favorite places! Highly recommend stopping in to check it out.”
“Jerry Clark, owner & historian is a fascinating tour guide. His knowledge of not only the Lake Okoboji area, but also all of Iowa is amazing. He has collected original animated gadgets from Arnold's amusement park house of horrors that still work! He has newspapers with major historical headlines such as when the Hindenburg dirigible crashed. I loved the gypsy fortune teller's red velvet curtains & crystal ball. They is no way to descibe this massive collection of large & small items neatly displayed in multiple buildings except to say DON'T MISS IT!”
“Really unique store with so much to see, all arranged very well, so easy to see. Many great items from different periods - something for every collector! Would highly recommend this store.”
“I could spend an entire weekend walking through this place. The hour that I allowed myself was not even close to being enough time. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane and even found some really nice vinyl.”
