I don't usually write store reviews, but this little pop-up totally earned it. I first spotted it…read moreon my way to Alaska and made a mental note to stop by on my way back--and I'm so glad I did! The shop is packed with the cutest souvenirs--think charming stickers, mugs, landmark bags, pins, tees, and more. It's a tiny space bursting with personality. Nancy, who was running the store, truly made the experience memorable. She was incredibly kind and attentive, even offering to hold my items so I could browse more comfortably. I watched her warmly connect with each customer--she clearly cares about people, not just sales. I ended up grabbing an adorable Alaska landmark bag, and when she saw my paper shopping bag was torn, she helped me transfer everything into my new one. Just a small act, but it made my day. If you're in the area, definitely swing by. It's the kind of place that gives you that little boost of serotonin with all the colors and leaves you smiling.

Goods are super cute but the service isn't. The cashier lady was rude and not customer-obsessed at…read moreall.... I purchased two pouches at once and explicitly mentioned that "they are gifts so would be great if you could lightly wrap them." She went: " I was about to do it anyways, you don't need to tell me." Ok maybe not in good mood I get it. Then at the end of the wrapping, I said " I will pay 10 more cents for another bag, because they are for two different people." This is when the non-sense started: the lady said dryly: sorry I can't do this. These bags are not for gift bags. And i can only give one per customer. I was like: but i bought two goods and they are gifts for two different people and im not asking for free bags, i am paying for them. She went on and on about she is serving these paper bags for more customers bla bla bla. Kept pressing on these paper bags are not "meant to be gift bags". Come on, have some common senses. Isn't it supposed to be "first come and first serve"? And me purchasing two goods (medium size, not tiny goods), should justify for one bag per goods, especially when I pay for these bags! Owner should provide proper training for the cashier staff before they piss too many customers off and ruin the business. The products there deserve better staff to sell them.

Haven't purchased from this location, but we love stopping by to browse the books, games, and greeting cards! Super impressed by how large, nice, and well laid out everything is.

Bookstores are challenging to find and independent bookstores with new content even more. My friend and I stopped here on a whim and from a glance I thought it would be smaller than I had expected but it ended up being much longer than wide offering a ton of content with an easy flow. We were far from alone as there were many other customers milling about, and that is where I saw this little store shine as it was fairly easy to navigate without feeling trapped on enclosed. There were areas to step off into and let people pass, the check-out counter moved quickly, and everyone was super polite. I was very impressed with all the content. There were many different book sections as well as fun gift ideas and funny stickers. Both my friend I enjoyed walking through the aisles taking everything in. I certainly will be back and hope that my bibliophile friends come by to check this store out!

Whether you're a rockhound or a jewelry lover, or you just need a souvenir, there are lots of options here at all price points. For gem and mineral lovers, they have some pretty nice color-coordinated displays of specimens and jewelry. From amethyst to larimar, malachite to labradorite, and even diamond slices, there are some nice crystals, cabochons, and spheres to drool over. Many of the bigger pieces seem too expensive and/or fragile for travelers, but I suppose if you've got $1,300 to drop on a fluorite sphere, you can afford to have it shipped. Other inexpensive jewelry options include the gemstone stacking rings in a display case by the door ($35), semiprecious stone post earrings by the register ($10-15), and locally made wood slice earrings by an artist in Edmonds. For kids, there are some fun items like small soapstone animal carvings (under $5), books, inexpensive mineral specimens, and fossil kits. I wasn't too impressed by the service here -- it was pretty early in the morning during my visit, and I was the only customer for most of that time, but the two employees stayed at the counter talking to each other about personal stuff and ignored me. Since I was mostly just browsing, it wasn't that big of a deal, but it seems like they should at least make the effort to greet customers when they walk in. Overall, a nicely organized and displayed gift shop with lots of sparkly gems to ooh and ahh over while you're waiting in the airport. A good place to pick up a last-minute gift that doesn't feel like one!

It's actually a stationery paradise filled with stickers, pens, calendars, and so much more. It is definitely worth a visit. ​They have testers for their pens, so you can try them all out before buying. I personally fell in love with the Lana and Tuxedo Cat items and the Houseplants collection. The store is packed with cute character goods and unique finds, making it perfect for both gifts and personal treats. ​Prices start as low as $2.75, so there's something for every budget. The staff is incredibly kind, and the atmosphere allows you to browse at your own pace. Plus, having a parking lot makes it super convenient. You're bound to find something you love here!

On this last visit, I found a cool peace sign sticker for my guitar case and it was the same price they charge in the boutiques back home. There's a win! 03/23
