“The folks at Ideal are an absolute treat to work with. I came in looking for a gift for 13 (!) people (our bridesmaids). They only had 5 in stock of the piece I wanted, but Kathleen immediately called the artisan and asked if she could make more before I left in two days. She corresponded with me over text regarding the details and when they were ready to pick-up. This was a clear reminder why shopping local makes a big difference. Ideal is our go-to for gifts.”
“Cute little flower shop I passed by while in town.
I stopped in to grab a small bouquet for my friend, the bride-to-be. The woman at the front was so pleasant and helpful—she let me pick out some of the flowers myself and put everything together quickly and beautifully.
When I mentioned the flowers wouldn’t be going into a vase for a while, she offered to add water to the bottom and wrapped them up nicely to keep them fresh. Great service and a lovely little spot!”
“Paper Dreams has been here for decades. There is something for everyone, including a classy old-school candy store with candies from around the world, and house-made fudge. In the 80s the fudge never had artificial colors or weird flavors though, and I wish they didn’t do that so much now. But maybe that’s what sells!”
“Came here after a San Juan cruise for whale watching. It is located in the ferry terminal. The store is small compared to other gift shops, but found a lot of cute souvenirs to buy. The pricing of items were fair. The employee working was very nice and pleasant. Definitely check out if in the area!Also, since we went on the whale watching tour, we received a 10% discount!”
“I have spent hours, in total over the years, walking around this store killing time before a bus comes. Fun items to peruse, nice staff, prices aren't bad. They have a good selection of notebooks including some with art from local-ish (PNW) artists. I have zero experience with any of their jewelry though so nothing to say good or bad about that.”
“Russ was amazing. Great selection and unbelievably friendly and fair priced. Loved the gift i got my partner and will definitely be back thanks Russ! -Malone and Joel.”
