From action figures to pop figures to electronics and more, there's something for everyone. Very fair prices and always good quality. They also have a dog, a dog so sweet! I dare you to walk into this place and not try to buy the dog from them! She's a big girl but she's a gentle giant.

They even had a guitar if you feel like coming just to relax and strum a few songs... You're welcome to, and it was donated for that very purpose. They also had a large sort of restaurant bar area that was not open now, but look quite delightful. I did use the bathroom here and picked up some brochures .

The place was actually bigger inside than I had thought so. On the right side from the entrance, is where all the cute knickknacks are found--toys, mugs, cards, stuffed animals and birds, children's books, posters, and the like. On the left side is where a lot of more fragile merchandise is found-- glass orbs, ceramic ware, pottery, sun catchers, Vermont products and souvenirs, etc. At the back part is a whole clothing section where you can find souvenir shirts and sweaters, a wall of Crocs, and a variety of Minnetonka moccasins. And of course, green frog toys in all forms are also sold here. Stuff sold here can be found elsewhere I'm sure. But, this makes for a good stop in case you are lacking time to shop around and are already headed out for the ferry.

They also have candles, lotions, fashion, jewelry, baby items (perfect shower gifts!), home decor, awesome christmas ornament selection ... the list goes on and on! I never walk out empty handed. Only thing is, I always go in to shop for someone else and ALWAYS always leave with more goodies for myself! ;) The couple who run the shop also own the women's clothing boutique next door called Ruelle. Definitely worth checking out as well. They bought Stowe Street Emporium from a sweet older couple several years back, and have done an amazing job maintaining its original homey charm, while reinventing it w/their unique brand of coolness, style and fun. Check it out! (Note- I found the photos from their website and posted here).

The interior store is full of beautiful Vermont items that are very tasteful. After playing our round of mini golf, I headed for my second visit to the porta potty behind their store. It was VERY clean.. but unfortunately my car key went flying down. After a slight nervous breakdown, the owners returned to the store with a big magnet and got the key out in seconds. He was very nice and cleaned/sanitized it for me. I felt like a dumb a$$... but was SO thankful for them. We would return for another round the next time we visit.... I just recommend leaving your car keys outside!

The store has rooms upstairs and downstairs. If you are looking for higher end gift or something pretty for your home, this is a surprising shop to find something special. It definitely feels like a boutique that would be in downtown Saratoga Springs or even NYC, not a country road in the Adirondack region. The staff was friendly but not pushy. My mom and I browsed through, enjoying all the pillows, wall art, kitchen items, and even a kids toys/clothing/decor section. We were able to find a few nice gifts and picked up some soap and lip balm for ourselves.

Visit Date: September 3, 2020…read more This seems like the only decent place to get some vacation souvenirs from Vermont, besides a little gift shop we found by the Quechee Gorge.

The selection here is very large and your bound to find souvenirs for everyone on your list.
