“I have loved Bozz Prints for so many years! I moved out of Iowa, but I always gift prints! Such beautiful, unique, and detailed artwork, and I love supporting a Valley Junction small business! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Wonderful little local shop with amazing owners and workers! I had a custom order that I needed done ASAP because I'm a procrastinator, and normally it's the right thing to do to place the order days in advance. LOL! When I arrived, I was kindly greeted. I explained what I needed and if possible, I need now. Everyone was hands on deck helping me pick out items for 8 different custom-made orders for a business need. They didn't send me away or tell me they needed more time. They jumped in and worked together to complete the order! They even offered to print our business logo to include on the packages! Wonderful place and people and I recommend to anyone wanting some yummy, good snacks, Iowa souvenirs and much more! I will be using them for business and personal needs in the future! This is what small businesses are all about! Thank you!”
“I have purchased many goodies from this adorable shop for myself (decor or paper goods), my kiddos (puzzles and other little cute things) and for gifts as well. The staff were very friendly and conversational during my visit. They also knew a lot about the products and made recommendations/told me about local items. I would highly recommend a visit for anyone searching for really fun and unique gifts for anyone on their list!”
“This lovely shop and sales people will not disappoint you! Neither will their items! Always there to help with their up to fashion style in home decor, clothing,accessories or jewelry!! And baby gifts.”

“I’ve taken both the perfume making and soap making classes and both were excellent! Going in, I wasn’t expecting the large amount of customization we would be able to do and at no time felt rushed to make a decision. The soap and perfume you receive from the class is good quality and a great value for the class price. I use my soap and my perfume everyday!”
“Great place! I like the fact that even though I hadn’t been in for a couple years, Meredith still remembered my name. Bonus that they have a great men’s section of gifts and fun things”
“As a person using a mobility device, aka a rolling walker, I struggle going into stores that have lots of little items. This store’s aisles and places to walk through were immaculate snd easy to navigate. A lot of times, I skip shopping in similar stores, because my mobility device is a hinderance, and I can’t safely shop the store. When I was there on April 4th, 2025, I was able to safely shop and look with no issues or assistance needed, which rarely happens. The people working were extremely helpful and kind. I hope this continues and spreads to other places. This store is proof that ADA compliance is possible, and fun items are for everyone!”
“What an incredible experience! They have so many fun things to check out, extremely kind and helpful staff! I was amazed by the free gift wrapping and how elegantly it was done! I just can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend shopping here!”
“Nice shop. Good to be able to purchase a few keepsakes after a long day at the zoo. Animal toys, bird toys, fish toys, all sorts of toys. We can surely recommend that you make a stop at the gift shop at the end of your tour.”
“Dillon gave me the best customer service ever when I stopped in for a cone of chocolate covered strawberries!!! He was fast and friendly and this store has smoothies and other great HEALTHY TREATS!!! Stop by and see him!!!”

“Maria at this location is THE BEST! I usually have first flights out in the morning as I travel for work, and anytime I see Maria I know I’ll get great service, a friendly smile, and the best start to my day. Appreciate you always, Maria!”
“Very kind staff in Emergency room even the ladies at the front desk. Y'all have to deal with a lot everyday from all kinds of different people. The staff deserves a well good appreciation!! Thank you for caring for my husband and showing such kind compassion and support.”
“SO much fun..for the whole family! There are countless activities for the kids so plan to spend the entire day out here. Goat feeding (the babies 💕), bouncy pillow, a zip line, corn cannon, paint ball, hayrack rides to the pumpkin patch, an insane playground, a bath tub 'train' ride, human hamster wheel and that's not all! The food is tasty, the gift shop is amazing, (the dried flowers in the top of the barn are gorgeous and affordable!) and they sell adult beverages. Need I say more?”
