The gift shop always has something new to check out! I stop by the gift shop every once in awhile-just to get something fun and completely unnecessary for myself!

The PAMC gift shop is an evil paycheck vortex. You enter with the intention of window shopping and…read moreleave a poorer person, indeed! It's pricey and you almost always feel guilty when you leave. My guilt is not assauged by the knowledge that the proceeds are charitable. Many times I have felt the sting of the gift shop's guilty pleasures. This is no typical hospital gift shop of balloons, flowers and lozenges, Oh no. They've got candles, Baggalini handbags, Gund stuffed animals, jewelery, inspirational books, glassware, and some of the cutest home decor in town. Items such as windchimes and garden stakes and stained glass. You never know what kind of delight you might encounter. And once they're sold them all, that's it, they're gone. So if you see something you like, you have to buy it on the spot or lose out. They have quite a few lines of beauty products such as Crabtree & Evelyn, Burt's Bees, Thymes and Ahava. The widest selection of baby shows, clothes and toys I've ever seen in a hospital, some of which is locally made. During holidays, they have lots of decorations. Every year I'm tempted, but they're SO expensive. This place is pure evil! Did I mention the fudge....

It's actually three different shops in one. Full of clothing and Alaskan gifts made in China. There…read moreis a pile of reindeer pelts that I thought were caribou at first.

This is a newer Alaskan gift shop on the airport. It has a lot of locally made gifts as well as…read morelocally made snacks. Sadly, much of the trinkets say designed in the USA but are manufactured in China or Korea. Very few I found (other than the local foods) were made in the USA. Nice shop though with lots of unique gifts!

Most people aren't familiar with Elaine S Baker & Associates, here in Anchorage. It's a wonderful…read morefurniture store with some unique and wonderful upscale pieces. Beautifully hand crafted wood pieces and furniture you just won't find anywhere else in Anchorage, let alone AK. The pack a ton of furniture into their location and it's a lot to take in, but well worth it. We have a beautiful, partial live edge, somewhat distressed bookcase that was a stunning addition to our living room. No pressure sales associates that are there to answer questions but also give you the time and space you need to linger and discuss pieces and options. They too offer not only furniture but decor as well. I'm sure their style isn't for everyone, however we found many decor items and furniture pieces that were beautiful! We will continue to shop their as the need arises!

This business is primarily dedicated to make huge profits.

They act as if they're doing the customer a favor in this regard. You're much better off to buy items cheaper in Seattle and use a freight forwarder to Alaska. Customer service ends after they get their payment!

I consider myself a crafty mom. A lover of hobbies and home decor. And Michael's is what fuels me…read moreand my frequently acquired interests. I came in sequins. I left with art I couldn't leave without, stickers for my daughter, glue sticks and of course sequins. I had TWO coupons and they stacked so I felt like I really got my moneys worth. I also love a good sale which they always have so that was nice, though I think that's how they're designed to sell. The store was organized, newly arranged just slightly and full of lovely arrivals. I don't really celebrate holidays but if I did this a where id be buying decorations from. The cashier at the front was nice, and patient with me. My only caution is that there are so many people who drive too fast in the parking lot and don't pay enough attention. So I'll be back. Plus they have fabrics.

Michaels in South Anchorage is my go to spot whenever I want to start a new hobby. Whether I need…read moreholiday specific decor or craft supplies from yarn to paint, they have it! I have not really interacted with any staff at this store, but being introverted I like it like this. Checkout is nice and quick since it is a self service kiosk. I love how I am able to rack up points and get coupons quickly. My only critique would be that I wish the store was bigger, but they are still the best priced craft store in town.

The staff are consistently friendly, thoughtful, and helpful, making every visit enjoyable. It's one of my favorite places to browse because you never know what unique treasure you'll find.

Dropping a star because of prices. It really annoys me lol. Today in the arts stuff they had a pack…read moreof Crayola markers, they looked brand new but I didn't investigate. 10 pack and they were $6! You can buy them at target for 3.99. They should be 2 dollars here. In the housewares, they had a bunch of sili pint glasses. Two were from octopus ink and they retail for $16. One cup was marked 7.99, that's doable. U fortunately I had that one already. The one I didn't have was marked $15.99! A used cup should be cheaper than what you pay the small business. The pricing here is ridiculous. Get kids books, chapter books, or cookbooks. Some clothing is doable, some sweatshirts are priced high. You should never pay $20 for a used shirt. The toys often are filthy dirty, broken, and they don't come with all the pieces. Go elsewhere for kids toys(Once upon) I did find a kids learning tower for $25 when they go for 80-100 online. You have to be smart with what you buy but whoever is in charge of pricing needs to start paying attention.

My problem is I just feel like I'm getting a good deal and can't live without a dress 50% off that might be my size. This location David was working the checkout and he's the best. He's very personable and funny behind the register. He took awesome care to gently fold my clothes and asked if I wanted the hangers. Every item on sale he double checked to make sure that I was getting at least the sale price on the sticker and he did that without me even having to ask.

Though, Target Tikatnu's children's section is noticeably larger and with more product. I'll have to keep that in my back pocket for future baby showers etc. It's a trek to visit north Anchorage, but that trek may be worth it, in this case.
