I bought the cutest painting of quails. Went back three days in a row to buy more gifts. I bought 3 beautiful items for people and myself. I got a desert Ironwood, maple burl and peach tree carved wood seam ripper Since I love wood and love to sew. Will add pics when back home.

Got these cute curated gifts mailed to me just in time for teacher appreciation and Mother's Day…read more This store has such a great selection of unique items that I remembered them from when I visited South Lake Tahoe last winter. 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.

For the holidays they have a lovely "pumpkintini" they serve during the kick off open house before the season. Gift wrap is free and tastefully done. This is the place for "that perfect gift"!

Cottonwood Creek is a cute and well appointed little gift shop in Downtown Minden. Gayle and I…read morestopped by today on our way to the Schat's Bakery a few doors down. The selections here are slanted more towards "girly" selections, which means that Gayle found a few nice gifts and my discoveries were more towards what she might like as future present. There were many options in that department. They had some very nice Christmas items on sale towards the back, but to my surprise, Gayle didn't bite. She told me later that she was tempted, but felt overwhelmed at home with all the Holiday items we already owned. Depending on post-holiday timing of putting everything away (including some thinning of our stuff), I might circle back.

Amazing selection of unique and gorgeous works of art located inside a surprisingly spacious shop…read moretucked away in a strip mall in Heavenly Village. A must see shop and my favorite souvenir from our trip. Everyone in the shop was very helpful and knowledgeable about the product. Prices are on the higher end but you absolutely get what you pay for. The only exception is the stickers and other mass produced products, those seemed to match the price of the art unnecessarily and frustrated the teen shopping with us.

What drew me into the store was the many wood carvings of Lake Tahoe and California around the…read morestore, the carvings showed depth of the lake and waters and thought it was really cool with the texture and depth, like topography art. They also had many adorable stuffed animal plushies of alpacas and other canned animals such as capybara and more. The fluffy color alpacas are so soft and adorable, they also had keychain versions near the cashier. Many of the items are priced at a higher price point but they are beautifully crafted and genuinely great art pieces. Was cool seeing a lot of beautiful art showing the lake and other parts of CA and wooden carving pieces with Zelda, Mario, and more.

Like the restaurant, it's owned and…read moreoperated by Gilles LaGourge (and Chef Yves Gigot), who a proud French Basque person with very exacting and exquisite tastes. If you like the French Country decor within the restaurant, you'll enjoyed a stroll through this Shop. Gayle and I came in after a marvelous and happy Family dinner at La Ferme. Although it's small, this Menagerie has many layers including Jewelry, Art, Glass, Pottery, and other gifts for around the home and garden. It all started when Gayle was admiring the necklace that one of our Servers was wearing and ended with our purchase of a few nice glass filament bowls and a ceramic Rooster on a Basket (to put our lemons). A gold-accented bead necklace (by the same jewelry designer) looked amazing on Gayle, but we'll save that somewhat pricey strand for the next special occasion.

The dinner and cocktails are always such a wonderful relaxing time and the meal is so marvelous. You feel as though they just picked all the ingredients right from their garden to put in your special dish made just for you. Gilles and his staff attend to your every need and we would not think of visiting the area without making this one of our stops. I always ask Gilles to open his boutique for me as I love seeing all his new finds waiting for me to take a peek at. I feel as though I am in another world. I am not someone to give out stars willy nilly, but when they are deserved then I dish them out. We eat out a lot and nothing compares to Gilles. I just wish I was closer to his place as I will be there more often. Do yourself a favor when in town and stop by, but give yourself time, make reservations, and get there early. You won't be sorry.
