I tried , with No Luck, at: Cub, Kowalski's , Lunds- Byerlys and 2 Scandinavian shops but then I found it online @ The Merry Piglet in Bemidji MN! The Owner, Heidi ( and an assistant) helped me out hugely! I live 4 hours from her Store & I couldn't drive up, so I ordered all 3 packages in stock!

Tacky new old stock. This A Frame gift shop is stuck in a 1975 time warp. There were jellies and…read morecandy and wild rice. I personally would not recommend buying as one assumes it's outdated like everything in this store. At the entrance there is a car from the 1970's with flat tires. There are plenty of native American or do I say Indigenous people handicrafts. The new old stock is 1980 type of t shirts, magnets, alligator teeth, etc. I didn't buy anything. Nothing appealed to me. The red letters on outside on building need to be repainted badly. They sell Minnetonka Moccasin shoes but many looked outdated. There is 1 A frame building and a side room with more stuff. If you're looking for Quirky, this store fits the bill.

I stopped in on a whim while I was in town for work and I wish I wouldn't have been so broke, because there were a ton of really cool things to buy. My favorite were the neon colored necklace holding antlers. There was also a very wide selection of really awesome prints. For a smaller shop, the selection was pretty awesome. Everything from baby things to knit goods, candles to jewelry.

This time we picked up a Paul Bunyan bottle opener, some Bemidji Raspberry jelly, Walleye Poop (chocolate candies) and a sticker. Lots of other great items but I like quirky and they nail it. Unfortunately, our jelly got confiscated by TSA. I now know Jelly (a large amount) falls under prohibited liquids. Hopefully I can pick up more on our next visit and pack it in a checked bag. This store is right across the street from Paul Bunyan and Babe statues, great photo op, so end the day with a great souvenir from the Lumberjack Shack to remember your visit!!!
