We found this place when traveling thru looking for "stuff" on our way home to East Texas. They…read moreare a smallish shop with antiques and gifts (but there is a larger shop next door called Southern Thoughtfulness.) They had free coffee while I was there which was tasty and also for sale in small packages. I assume a local coffee company but forgot to ask. My wife and I found several items to purchase. I bought some old spoons to make a wind chime. My wife found an Iris and Herringbone bowl for $4 (either here or next door... I forget.) They do have a clean restroom. I didn't get the address but their next-door neighbor to the left is 8362 Old Hwy 171, Grand Cane, LA 71032. I did jot down their hours which are Tues-Fri 10-5, Sat 10-2, Sun-Mon closed.

From the owner: Quaint little shop in historic Grand Cane with a unique selection of antiques and gifts. read more

It was a really hot day on 4th of July. My family and I came in here for some ice cream. It's a…read morereally cute shop. They have plenty of gifts, souvenirs... and fudge! Sadly I don't buy fudge often and I rarely crave it, but I was happy that they have it as an option for those that love it. This just means I have to visit them again and try a bit of fudge. The ice cream line was a bit long because they make other cold treats, too. It's all good because we didn't have a lot going on and was thankful they were open that day, so I was patient. The family and I were visiting Natchitoches for the weekend and of course thought of getting a memorabilia of some sort. I'm not that big of a shopper and don't like collecting things. If you're into that sort of thing... they have a bunch of trinkets that you'll like! The ice cream was definitely worth the wait. I just wish I would have gotten more scoops because it was a really hot day. It's close to the river and other fun downtown eateries and establishments. Add this place to your visit for some yummy treats!

The price is isn't inflated and if you buy 4 you get one free! They have plenty of other stuff also, such as, T-shirts, cook books, and pretties for the house.

We frequent Natchitoches regularly with family. I enjoy popping in and out of all the stores on…read moreFront Street, but this is my favorite. The staff are always super friendly. On our last trip, my teen son went by himself one day and was short a few coins on a purchase. The cashier spotted him. So, we made sure to go back the next day and nab a few souvenirs and gifts. They have an adorable collection of crystal birds. I now have a cute crystal bee hanging above my kitchen sink. They also sell many beautiful scents. Can't go to Natchitoches without bringing home the scent of magnolias. I highly recommend going sometime other than Christmas. The Lights Festival is a blast. Enjoy that. But go again when things are slower, and you can park down by the river and talk with all the shopkeepers.

This is a great little gift shop store. If you're looking for local flavor items such as LSU gear…read moreor Fleur d' Lis items, then this is the place. Plantation Treasures is located on the historic Front Street that borders Cane River Lake. The staff was very friendly. I bought a Fleur d' Lis cheese/butter knife. When I went to check out, the woman at the register said that she wanted to go into the back to pull out a nicer one that didn't any of the sticky stuff that would eventually come off with the price tag. I thought that was really nice. She didn't have to do that at all. She wrapped it in tissue paper too. My Stepmom had to return something the next day. We were running late and would arrive after they had closed for the day (5:00 p.m.). The lady she spoke with on the phone agreed to stay late until we arrived so my Stepmom could make an exchange. Now that's customer service. The funny thing is, we had called earlier that day to see how late they were open. The lady replied that they usually close at 5:00 p.m., but will stay open as long as need be if they are busy.

Fabulous fun! Thousands of items in every nook and cranny and around each corner. Antique,…read moreretro,vintage and new. The cherry on top is that you can find fun items to take home and enjoy without breaking the bank! Something for everyone here. Even the guys!

They have a wide range of local and handmade items and we left with jam, pickles, and little souvenirs to bring home as well as a whole bunch of pecans.

I really enjoyed my visit to Gifts Galore. The store is larger than it looks. The front counter has…read moreseveral interesting gift ideas around it, but the rest of the store extends for several rooms behind the front entrance and on another upstairs level! The store is meticulously organized despite stocking almost every type of gift you can imagine. Most of the stock appears to be from local artists and collectors. There are many unique gifts that cannot be found anywhere else (even on the internet) and there are gifts that are more conventional or nostalgic. The store is not on Front Street but if you really want to enjoy Natchitoches charm, Gifts Galore is a must visit!

It is downpouring out and…read moreI was going to buy my husband an extremely expensive coffee table book, taking my total to over 100$ but refused to say if they would replace if it was destroyed in the rain walking from their store to my car because they are too cheap to provide their customers with bags. What about the customers that aren't buying just books, you are going to make them carry all their stuff out in their arms? It is not like Aldi discount store, BAM is extremely expensive, they should be able to afford to provide their customers with bags so their products don't get destroyed trying to get to their car. I will NEVER step foot in this store again. DO NOT recommend!!!!

I was in here for a few hours today and I was tired of holding my shopping bag (I walked from five…read morebelow to BAM! and had a five below bag) and 2 books that I was thinking about getting so I slipped them in my bag and was planning on putting them back or buying them. I ended up buying a coffee and forgetting all about the books! I called the store and the employee who answered was pretty nice about the situation, and told me they were just about to call the cops so to come in tomorrow and return the books. All of the employees are very kind, especially the Joe Muggs worker, and speaking of Joe Muggs, I got a "The One Who Shall Not Be Names" frappe and it was amazing. Very strong coffee flavor! I don't know about the $6.55 price tag but the it's still an alright price. (Bathrooms were very clean) *I took off one star because the coffee is so expensive.*
