He loved the cool design and it looked amazing on him! He also loved the fact that every hat purchase from Fresh Air Clothing works with the non-profit Sugar Pine Foundation to plant a tree for the Save The Trees Project! I would definitely recommend Tahoe Trunk Show that has been in the Cobblestone Shopping Center for 10 years now and was voted the best gift shop in North Tahoe! This small business gets all of their items locally and specialize in handcrafted art, jewelry and more! The staff member was very helpful and sweet and the shop is well organized!

I was the only customer for a while. Just me and her. She did not even greet me nor offer any help. Awkard silence. While I was browsing, two other women walked into the store and same MO from salesgirl. Not the minimum effort to engage with potential customers. The shop is very cute and offers interesting stuff but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

The store had price ranges that were low to high so it really just depended on what you wanted buy but I did spend a good penny since I had a lot of souvenirs to get family and loved ones back home. I definitely recommend this souvenir shop probably the best one in that area for sure!

The Boatworks Mall is an indoor, enclosed mall right on the shore of Lake Tahoe. But it's not a massive mall like the ones you'd find in a major city. The place has a lot of character and rustic-ness going for it. There is a restaurant, a coffee/chocolate shop, a book store, a wine shop, clothing and shoe store, a home decor, furniture store, a game store - and more. While I was here, I perused the book store and Hemmings & Jarrett where I purchased and shipped home a Christmas decoration. The mall has an elevator and stairs - so folks in wheelchairs can get up and down.

Previous review: The selection at this shop is top notch. Unique and unexpected mixed with tried and true. However, like most places in the Tahoe area, they are experiencing a staffing issue. We personally didn't need any customer service other than check out when we visited, however the cashier was a bit apathetic. That said, I don't know their story, if they had a bad day, or if they just were not loving working at a toy shop on a busy weekend. That said, the prices are a TOUCH on the high side but honestly that is to be expected in a tourist area. I'm hoping that the cheerful workers return but honestly, I get it. The past 2 years have been rough and it's hard to be upbeat all the time. However.... I mean, it is a toy store....

There are a few options to do such as making a candle, garden, and painting. They also have a to-go slime kit.  We were leaving Tahoe that day so we wanted to make something that we could bring home the same day. The kids each made a garden and a candle. For the garden, we chose a pot which varies in price. We then got to choose a real or fake plant. To plant, small rocks went in first for drainage and then we filled it with dirt. Now comes the fun part to decorate with the add ons. There were different types and color rocks, moss, and tiny figurines. My kiddo loved getting his creativity on with all the options.  For the candle, we chose a container which varies in price also. We then got to choose the colored wax to break it apart. It was actually easier to break it with the hands then cut it up. Once we were done with that part, we got to choose a scent, then a wick was added, and clear gloss was poured over to seal it.  It was a cute and fun experience. The best part is that all supplies are provided, and no cleaning is needed.

Staff here was super accommodating and very friendly, was great to chat with too! Everything here is very neatly organized and quite a lot of choices for mosaic pieces. We used paint as the base for our pieces (had super cute water bowls for paint brushes we used), I think paint drying took the longest. It was a little funny we all basically hounded over our pieces to dry a bit before we put tile pieces on it. Little mirror pieces, pretty stones and such were plentiful to use. Elmer's glue was used to secure the pieces and surprisingly holding great. Each piece had a price on them when we were choosing them off the wall. Prices weren't unreasonable, on top of studio space and materials that we were using. It was a fun activity as we love our arts n crafts. I think one of my friend's made the appointment/time slot online, everything was smooth sails and we basically stayed till closing time. Final Thoughts: Thank-you for a fun experience and we'd so recommend this place for others visiting here looking for activities that aren't outdoors!
