    Check out this fantastic trailer ornament!! I was a lucky winner from their shop small Saturday raffle.

    I won this fantastic trailer ornament from Alair's Shop Small Saturday raffle! I also received a cute mug and jar of hot toddy mix! We are really looking forward to playing Awkward Holiday Bingo on Xmas Eve! Thanks so much, and be sure to stop by to find some unique Christmas/Hanukkah prezzies!

    Someone have a baby so I have an excuse to buy one of these!

    If someone told me to choose five things in this store for myself, I'd be there all day trying to narrow it down. A cute tee? A fun mug? Clever card? Useless but essential Knick-knack? Alair has what you need for a gift - for someone else or for you when you just want to treat yourself to something. (Yes, someone NEEDS the pencil with the sassy saying on it!) The shop isn't overwhelmingly large, nor is it too small for you to leave empty handed. The story is bright and airy and the displays are well done.

    Love the fresh paint job!

    Alair is easily the best gift shop in Seattle and dare I say the world! With their expanded card wall you'll have no trouble finding the perfect card for any occasion! And that's just the start, the store is full of lovely gifts from candles to books to keychains to clothing and sooooo much more! Don't have time to find the perfect gift? They've got you covered with a curated gift box in which the lovely folks at Alair do the heavy lifting for you! All this wouldn't be possible without the leadership of the lovely owner Shandon and her first class team. They all genuinely care about the community they serve and the community they've built. Visit Alair in West Seattle or online, you'll be glad that you did!

    Super cute shop in West Seattle! If you're looking for witty, pun-filled greeting cards, unique gifts for your hipster friends or even just your dad, (Father's Day is coming up) I highly recommend taking a trip to Alair. Items they have also include dog collars and baby items like books and clothing. Seriously, if you have gift needs for someone come here & you're bound to find something. The prices were decent too for a local shop. Always support local! Came here for a Yelp event and was thrilled to find a shop with similar quirky humor. Had a brief conversation with who I assume are the owners and they were both sweet and easy to talk to. Way bummed that there was a line to do the macrame demo but that doesn't go against my experience since it was a Yelp event, in which there was a disclaimer that you might miss out on certain things if you're not early! I would go back for that class but the price is a little steep - perhaps if it was a group payment. Of course we ended up buying our dog a new collar for $15 without the discount.

    I visited Alair with a friend for a Yelp Elite event. My friend lives nearby the cute shop and spoke highly of it so I was glad to make the drive from Shoreline all the way to West Seattle for the event. The shop is chic and has every funny card you could imagine and cute gifty items for men, women, and even a few baby gift items. The prices are good for a small independent shop. They had a cute little patio out back which I wonder what is used for when there isn't an event. Due to the crowd I couldn't partake in the free macrame demo craft session however my friend assured me that Alair offers "girls nights" periodically which draw a more local and chill crowd of women with similar drinks/snacks/craft so we'll plan to attend one of those soon!

    See all

This is the first review I have ever posted to yelp--that is how happy I am with the service provided by the staff of this establishment. Searching for the elusive "Jewish Wisdom Ball" as a humorous gift for my 92 year-old father (who fortunately needs nothing), it was out of stock everywhere, until it showed up on the gift shop website, on sale no less. I placed my order and crossed my fingers. Within 48 hours I received a cheery message wishing me a "Happy Hanukkah", confirming shipping and actually apologizing for not having mailed it faster in the midst of the busy holiday season! I have since had occasion to contact them again and they are always prompt, professional and courteous. The gift shop is in Seattle while I live in Illinois, yet they treat me as though I am an old friend or longtime congregation member who has been walking through their doors often over the years. Based on this positive experience I intend to continue to support them with future purchases where appropriate. They are the sort of people we need more of in the world today and I can't thank them enough for the manner in which they do their jobs.

Pike Place is a massive food hall, craft market, and farmers' market. You can find just about anything in Pike Place. It is truly an amazingly magical spot, and there is nothing quite like it. You could spend days roaming through Pike Place and eating all of the amazing things each vendor, restaurant, and bakery has to offer. It's a Yelpers paradise! The selection is unmatched. The value is great. The service is prime. I think you could easily stay within a $100 budget for a family and feed everyone for the whole day in Pike Place Market.

    Seattle's world-famous Pike Place Market is one of the Emerald City's most popular tourist traps,…read moreand for good reason. The sprawling, multi-level marketplace dates back to 1907 and remains one of the oldest, continually operating farmers markets in America. It's narrow arcades are home to dozens of stalls selling everything from candy and cannolis to flowers and jewelry. The main attraction, of course, is the fresh seafood, which arrives every morning from boats trolling nearby Puget Sound. At peak hours, hundreds of tourists crowd around the Pike Place Fish Market, near Pike Place's main entrance, to watch fishmongers toss Salmon, Halibut, Cod and other customer selections from the market floor to the sales counter to be filleted and wrapped. Onlookers clap and cheer as the fish fly through the air, while the mongers politely remind the crowd that they're operating a working seafood market, not a circus. When you're done watching dudes toss fish, take some an hour or two to explore the rest of this massive marketplace. Pike Place has six levels of shops, restaurants, brewpubs and produce stalls across two large buildings that are bisected by a roomy pedestrian plaza with outdoor tables for enjoying a bite when the weather cooperates. The market gets oppressively crowded on weekends, so go early if you can. There are multiple parking decks at the complex and near the waterfront, but if Uber is an option, you'll save the stress of finding a spot. No visit to Seattle is complete without a visit to Pike Place Market. Plan on spending half a day here if you want the full experience, but I found a couple hours to be enough for me. While you're in the area, walk a couple blocks over to Seattle's fabulous waterfront and stroll the pedestrian plaza for some amazing views of Puget Sound. The city's new Overlook Walk pedestrian bridge lets you move between the two without crossing busy Alaskan Way, and makes this area of downtown an incredible destination for tourists and locals alike.

I kind of thought you could buy most essentials at the airport, but it turns out children's shoes are not a typical travel need, at least when they aren't being worn by traveling children. Fireworks did carry children's slippers, which caught my eye as I passed, as well as a nice assortment of unique, crafty toys and gifts. Unfortunately, my five-year-old followed me into the store and zeroed in on a tiny, colorful finger puppet in the shape of a parrot. He asked me to buy it for him, and I declined, telling him we weren't getting a souvenir before we even left the airport. He was upset by this to the point of tears, but I managed to get us out of there. We had a wonderful time in Seattle, and to his credit, the five-year-old behaved well the whole trip (and the two-year-old got new shoes). When I saw Fireworks Gallery again by our departure gate, I decided at the last possible second to stop in and get him the parrot. It was one of several Folkmanis finger puppets in a wire basket. I picked it up along with a bunny rabbit and went to check out. There was a short line at the register--I guess this shop gets decent traffic--and by the time I was up, my husband was calling to tell me we were boarding. This is how I paid $36.36 for two finger puppets that cost $10 apiece online. Fireworks got me good, but my boys do love their little puppets, which are soft and cute and well made. The wares here are definitely nicer and less generic than at your average airport store. It might cost you, though, if you wander in there with your kids.

Another note for Parents is that there is a small play area on the top floor. Perfect for rainy days with the little ones. The surrounding University grounds are great to let them run around as well. There is a Starbucks at the Suzzallo Library and bathrooms too if you left the Burke and have a kid who needs to go even after they were prompted a million times before you exited the Burke! There are also tons of food options and a couple small grocery stores nearby. Which is great if you/your group have dietary needs. The light rail station is very close by and many buses drop off / pick up right across the street. Public transit to this location is quite good and I recommend it, especially since youth 18 and under are free to ride.
