“These are the most beautiful handcrafted books I have ever laid eyes on. I bought one a few years back and have absolutely loved it so I could not pass up the opportunity to get my hands on another. You can even water color on the pages after you are done writing/journaling in it--that's my next step for the first one. Anyways absolute love--made with extreme care and quality”
“Such an amazing little shop. It’s small but full of great items. They have an assortment of caps, cards, shirts, keychains, local art, pins, and other assorted gifts and trinkets. We ended up finding a lot of stuff we loved here. The shop guy was super friendly but never overbearing or invasive, he was super chill and made us feel really welcome. There’s also a really cool mural in the art room!”
“Here for the Jellycat! One of the biggest store in the US that sells a variety of Jellycat. Of course, this store is well established and make you feeling like comfortable when shopping here.”
“After a delay in my initial purchase which turned out not to be the fault of the store, the owner went to great lengths to make everything right. The item was shipped to me quickly and she made sure it was packaged with great care. Thank you”
“Very neat store to browse! Plenty of artist made knick knacks, pins, buttons, and printed shirts. The curators are very personable and will give you introductions based on artist you are viewing. Would recommend a visit.
The only negative thing was not necessary pointed at the shop, but the mall it was located in. You can tell post-covid that the Pacific place mall and the surrounding area is struggling to keep up with inflation and rent. Plenty of closed shops and not enough thriving businesses. We found paid parking at garage belonging to the mall on 6th Avenue.”
“Packed with beautiful items, with a nice range of prices if you are looking for something small vs fancy. The owner is wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable to explain the meaning of items as well.”
“Was in need of something unique and specific today - Andrea was so incredibly helpful and understood exactly what I was looking for - she made it happen and then some; I am so thankful for her above and beyond customer service. Definitely recommend The Curious Nest!”
“This is such a lovely and wonderful store to have in the neighborhood! They have a great collection of hand-made art, crafts, food, souvenirs, and gift ideas. The style is great, not gaudy at all. And the prices are super affordable. Best of all, everything is locally sourced in the PNW. Really kind and attentive staff as well. I highly recommend this shop!”
“If I could give this place a 100 stars I would! The owners are absolutely amazing, seriously the kindest hearts you will ever meet. They are all about helping people and it's genuine. The wonderful things they have done for my mom and her health, I couldn't be more grateful to have had the pleasure of coming here. Also, they have better prices then any other compound in the area. Thank you Mike for all you have done!”

“Love supporting local artists and love that there are more and more stores that connect artists to the community.
Super fun store for unique gifts!
Only things to note is the upstairs area that isn't easily accessible & then relying on street parking or public transit to get there.”

“Many years ago, I had bookmarked this boutique as a place to visit ‘someday.’ The exterior is unlike any place in Seattle. An old fire house turned boutique. Yes, please! Since then, I’ve visited many times because the inside is even better than the stunning exterior. Mary buys everything for the shop, so she is super knowledgeable & helpful when it comes to the incredible small & local brands they carry. If you have a gift closet like I do (highly recommend that btw for gifts/cards in a pinch), or you just like to treat yourself (also recommend), you absolutely must shop at Station 7!”
“Great gift shop with a unique collection of funny, cute, pretty, and quirky!!! They have stickers, magnets, earrings, dish towels, oven mitts, pins, and more!!! Highly recommend this store if you are looking for cool Seattle souvenirs or fun gifts. I really wanted to get the dish towel LOL it’s so funny hahaha. I will definitely make another visit and get some cool stuff!”
“Super cute place with friendly staff. Lots of cards, paper products like pad and pencils, wrapping paper, a few pins, plus some body products and a great selection of jewelry. Stop by for some ice cream at Sweet Alchemy and browse around.”
“Lovely experience shopping for gifts for my mom and mother in law. Everyone was super helpful and helped craft the perfect mix of unique gifts. 10/10 would recommend shopping here for a loved one!”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”
“Super cool gift shop with niche collectibles, ethically sourced & a lot of them support several local artists. Just a heads up, the further you go in the more tight it can be navigating.”

“I love this store! Client service was wonderful! Avenly and her boss were incredible and took the time to wrap every item and piece of art carefully. They even walked me out to my car with my merchandise. Above and beyond! I will return for more flamingo trinkets :)”
“Visit! Red Ticking is a gem of a store and Pam is a dream of a partner for designing the lifestyle you want for your home. With her heart and expertise, she saw my imaginations and made them real. Stop into the shop, it's a treat.”
“This store is wonderful. I walked into a beautiful display of fine textiles, decor, clothes, gifts, and crafts from around the world. I found gifts for three people and picked up a little something for me. Highly recommend!”
“Great store with nice clothes for the ladies but it has cool kitchen gifts and trendy NW cookbooks. They always do a great job with seasonal merchandising. Nice local spot!”

“Probably my favorite boutique shop of decorations, jewelry, stationary, gifts, etc. I have shopped hear for years and their buyer just has amazing taste. The prices are a little on the hide side but they are aligned with the quality of the products - I am just a little frugal. At every turn, there is literally something I would LOVE to have and that is NOT how I am when I shop. The service lacks. In fact, they may actually be chained to the desk with the register since they never leave it. :). Even when I ask them a question, they answer it from there. They are not rude but they are not really friendly but they do get the job done. Note the return policy is only 14 days so if you aren't 100% sure, just make sure you have time in the next 2 weeks to potentially return it. They do not make exceptions. Note that there is an upstairs which has furniture and wall decorations. That is also where the clearance items are. It is a shop you want to make sure you check out when in this cool downtown Kirkland area. You will love it!”
“Great place to find that unique gift. Parking is good and one great staff.Need that glass butterfly or something with Mickey on it. This is the place to find it.”
“What a wonderfully nostalgic shop!! Look in all the nooks and crannies for hidden treasures. This is a UNIQUE place to visit while in Seattle. Darold, the owner/manager is a treasure himself.”
“Owner is incredible!!!! So much awesome energy I was smiling the whole time!!!! Incredibly unique and well curated stock!!! Will soooo be coming back for birthday gifts for friends :) do yourself a favor and stop by now!!!! Extremely well priced too;”
“Wow! Was in here for the first time and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED! The lavender lotion bar is amazing! Can’t wait to try my eucalyptus “stuffed up” shower scent! Paired with beautiful artwork from local artist Brandy Hanson! I will definitely be back!”
“Very nice and welcoming staff it's a pleasure just browsing here for new local things. The items are kind of over priced but I feel like it's ok for one off occasions. I just chalk it up to research premium to find interesting local brands and items. Besides this store has been around for as long as I can remember, it has a special place in my heart.”
“Fireworks Gallery is the cutest gift shop! They had unique items in the store and a very eclectic assortment of gifts. I bought a few items and also one of their shoulder bags made from recycled materials. I am so glad I bought that bag. Not only is it cute but it worked out well on our travel home because it was packed full of souvenirs from our vacation in Seattle and Alaska.”
“I was a little bit suspicious about the value of a place like this but when I finally went in to pick up the free composting kit I was very impressed. A lot of different merchandise with a green theme, even essential oils andtoys. A woman who was very interesting giving talks about different concepts on the fly.”
