From the Raley's parking lot, if you look opposite Raley's, you'll see the colorful wind devices rotating at the entry, which match the patina Wind Sculptures art installation near it Inside, this nicely decorated shop is a combination Artifacts, Gift, Jewelry, Art, Curio, Metaphysical shop, owned by Susan, the silver haired proprietor with her sweet poodle Tula, who may greet you at the door quietly, looking for a nice calm hand to pet her, and welcome you in. Susan has a sister store in the Carson Mall in Carson City, NV called Crimson Moon, which may be a little more New Age/Metaphysics focused. Metaphysical items are here, too, which got my attention, because she had 2 Tarot decks I own myself personally, for sale. The first is the Voyager Deck, by James Wanless, that I learned Tarot on 30 years ago. The other also visually stunning deck is the newer Starman Tarot, based on rock music legend David Bowie, and the art pieces created by his good friend and artist David de Angelis. If you are ever in South Lake Tahoe in the summertime, drop in and say hello to Susan and Tula. She retreats back to Georgia in the snow months, however, and she may retire soon, so hurry!

Beautiful crystals, wonderful owners, beautiful local shop (lots of parking & near the beach)…read more I absolutely love crystal shops. Just knowing that these are real crystals and how crystals are formed, this shop is cool! Prices are reasonable, crystals sourced from everywhere! Shop owner was super sweet! I picked up a spirited amethyst and I have it on my wfh desk. The energy definitely has changed. Will be back!

Every time I'm in Lake Tahoe, I love stopping by Dustin at the Rock Shop…read more Such a great spot with awesome country and boho vibes, beautiful crystals, gemstones, amethysts, and unique pieces you can feel the good energy from the moment you walk in. Dustin is always so nice and helpful, and you can tell he really loves what he does. There's always something special to discover, whether you're into healing crystals, collecting gems, or just love beautiful natural stones. My only downfall is I wish I could shop here more often! Definitely worth checking out if you're in Tahoe.

We never missed going to this gift shop every time we visit South Lake Tahoe for a few years now,…read moreand we haven't been disappointed. Staff are so friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. They have a lot of beautiful items to choose from. Especially with the recent globe/lamp we purchased this September 2025. You could also purchased their items online and they will delivered it to you through a reliable carrier. Which I did purchased two more globes/lamps recently, because it's so beautiful, colorful, and unique. We definitely recommend this gift shop if you're visiting South Lake Tahoe.

Stacy is your host and she is friendly, helpful and fully knowledgeable about her collections. They are currently stocking holiday items but come Spring they change the store entirely. You can count on us returning then. Do not miss this lovely store.

It's a mother daughter business and both of them were there. The owner was so kind and patient, she showed us every single piece we wanted to see up close. We ended up taking a few pieces home!

You'll regret it later!

Out of all the stores in South Lake Tahoe this is by far my favorite. I love their wooden maps. I…read morebought one for my husband as a wedding gift as we got married in Tahoe and were staying at the Grand Resort. The map is so intricate and even has an alcove of where we got married on it. I have seen other maps that are encased in glass. Now looking back I wonder why they didn't offer that option to me as an upgrade. I would have totally jumped on it as the delicate map wouldn't collect dust like it does now. They had a tahoe girl sweater that caught my eye this time. I loved the softness of it and the white color. What was a turn off was the length it was just too short. In the winter I don't want my tummy hanging out. I want to keep it nice and warm with the rest of me. They also have a nice selection of soaps that always catch my eye. I love homemade soaps and these look locally made. One day I'll cough of the money for a bar or two. I was going to get one for my gf as a gift, but I don't know if she loves soaps as much as i do or if she just goes for the soft soap on a bottle. I'll have to ask her then next time I see her. Last time I bought a paper pop up flower display for my gf's retirement gift. It was so fun as it was beautiful and never dies. I hope she liked it as much as I did. One thing that caught my eye last time I was there was a fleece blanket with a map of South Lake Tahoe on it. It was soft on the map side and fleece on the back side. It looked so cozy warm. I would have totally gotten it if not a month before I had gotten one from Alaska that had a map of Alaska on it. This blanket will make someone a great gift. I hope you enjoy this store as much as I do and take home a piece of South Lake Tahoe with you.

On Tahoe Time is one of my favorite stores in Heavenly Village. Located next to Starbucks and…read moreacross from Base Camp Pizza, it's one of those places that's worth walking through even if you don't plan on buying anything. Think of it as an art gallery mixed with a modern gift shop, filled with thoughtfully curated home décor, unique keepsakes, and Tahoe-inspired finds. We were welcomed as we walked in, which was a nice touch considering how busy the store was. The candles are always my favorite, and I make it a point to check out their beautiful wood-carved Lake Tahoe maps and canvas artwork every year. They have a great selection of pieces that can add a little Tahoe charm and sophistication to your home. Everything feels intentionally selected, and despite fitting so much into the space, the store never feels cluttered or overwhelming. One of my favorite surprises this visit was their expanded hat selection. They had trendy designs, Smokey Bear hats, and national park-inspired apparel that stood out from the typical souvenir shop offerings. It felt like they had something for just about everyone while still staying true to the Tahoe vibe. I'll definitely be back for another candle, sticker, or hat. And one of these days, when the budget and wall space allow, I may finally bring home one of those wood-carved maps. If you're looking for a unique Tahoe gift--or something for yourself--this is absolutely a store worth stopping into.

I called them up to put together some gift baskets for me and they mailed them to me on time and everything was well packaged and safe. They even included these cute little Lake Tahoe gift tags for convenience. I totally appreciate everything teachers do, but planning for Mother's Day and teacher appreciation all in the same week does make it hard for us busy mamas. I really value the convenience and ease of this process, and it really takes the stress out of finding thoughtful gifts.
