    As Solvang gift shops go, this one is potentially the most appropriate... what I mean is, having never been to Solvang before my last (and, well, first) trip, I imagined small stores filled floor to ceiling with little ceramic windmills, pewter figurines, hand-painted decorative tiles, ornate spoons for the casual collector or amateur hoarder... that sort of thing. Gerda's Iron Art Gift Shop totally matched the store in my mind's eye: pretty much right down to the comedy hand towels for hanging on your fridge or stove handle, and novelty bottle openers. If you're looking for religious art, this store offers a variety of crosses in various metal finishes... along with all those ceramic spoons that you put on your stove to hold other spoons with sauce on them while you're cooking? What are those called? Self-redundant spoon spoons? I don't know. Anyway, we didn't buy anything here... just browsed around, and ended up walking out the Danish-feeling half-door-- ooh! OOH! They have one of those half doors where you can close the bottom part and leave the top part open and you totally feel like you're walking the streets of... Well. Solvang.

    Cute little doo-dad shop. About on par with everything else in Solvang. I thought the lady who works there was really friendly and helpful, esp when she answered questions about where to find things that weren't available in her shop.

    Cute little store for glassware and knicknacks. If you're looking for gifts, good spot. Decent prices compared to other shops.

    One of many "kitschy" little shops along Solvang. Purchased my Christmas ornament for this years trip. Great selection of items!

Just know that this place is often very full of inventory and crowds so it can get tough to walk around & shop. It won't be a casual shopping experience. Especially on weekends and summers. I came here mainly because I heard it was a great place to get old Lego minifigure bags. However, I was not expecting some of the older ones to go for up to $30 a bag! That's highway robbery. You can find opened ones online for a fraction of that price and when you do that, there's no need to guess if you are getting the one you want (or be surprised at all by what you're paying for). If you're looking for bags to keep sealed, this is a great option for you, but for someone like me who was just looking to get one or two to complete a series, this just wasn't priced right enough for me to pull the trigger. I did, however, purchase a single mini figure that's exclusive to a Danish store chain. Was it overpriced? Yeah. But not too high that I didn't feel like treating myself. Staff is very friendly and I saw them happily helping customers all throughout the shop. Customer service is great here. So rest assured if you have questions about inventory or if you want to try on something, there will be someone here to help you out quickly.

    Friday, 12-20-2024: We were strolling around Solvang before leaving for home when we came upon…read morethis charming store with the festive Christmas decorations in the front. It beckoned me to enter with the promise of treasures beyond their doors. It is a beautifully organized and decorated store. Curated items were professionally displayed. There was a lady behind the counter but she avoided greeting me. I know this is a tourist town because the pricing was high. I do understand the mark up is needed to sustain the running of this business, etc. I will wait to return to Old Town Temecula where they sell the exact same items for much lower. It is a beautifully appointed store.

This is one of the stores we stopped in during our wanderings. It's beautifully displayed, with many different feature areas. From unique kitchen gadgets and accessories, to home accents of many different types, there's much to see and consider here. Full retail is in effect, and some of the items seem very pricey, which is the reason for a one star reduction. Still, I found it very enjoyable to browse their selections, enjoying the stylish displays. I did find several items to take home, plus picked up a couple small gifts. I particularly love a silicone spatula I bought here, which has an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to use. I don't know how they'll manage reopening / whether they offer buy online and pickup with minimal contact. I hope that they'll be able to survive the Coronavirus situation!

    My family and I love checking out thrift shops especially when we are out of town and visiting a…read morenew city or town. While in Solvang, we found this really cool vintage thrift shop and walked around a bit. The inside had so many items to look at, but still felt very organized and didn't leave me feeling overwhelmed. They had everything - old records, comics, purses, fur coats, glassware -- even backstage passes from different concerts which I thought was pretty cool. I am always on the hunt for Uranium glass and A Piece of the Past had a few items. One being an ashtray and another being a set of glasses that I am still kicking myself for not just buying. Service was very friendly throughout the store and I also thought that most of the items were fairly priced - it didn't feel like they were trying to gouge anyone. Check them out!

    Vintage shopping is my weakness. I always ask my husband -- "Do I need more stuff?" And he always…read moresays -- "No, but let's look anyway." Lol. Happiness set in as soon as I walked through the door. Clean, organized, bright and more importantly -- no old, dirty smell! The first item that caught my eye was a handmade mug. It reminded me of when my grandson was learning the alphabet as he would excitedly shout "N is for Narwhal!" Needless to say, I couldn't put it back down. We browsed every corner and found so many lovely items, including a beautiful vintage vanity (on my wish list). Prices were surprisingly reasonable, which made it really difficult not to buy more. As we were ready to check out with my mug, the husband pointed out a tiny silver scoop in a locked case. He could tell on my face that I wanted to add it to my collection, so he called someone to open the case -- he's such an enabler. :) The staff are easy to find, incredibly friendly and helpful. Such a great place -- we'll be back!
