I recently started making my purchases via telephone and have found that service very helpful saving me time, not driving across town and parking. Once again, the staff was very helpful in the process. I love the hummingbirds. I'm looking forward to the lizards and frogs and more. Excellent job!

Brought my kids in to make bracelets on our way home from breakfast. Came in the next day because I brought in some beads of my own that I picked up on my road trip. I was unsure how to put it all together in the vision I had, but the owner was quick to help me put it all together in a way I loved! If I lived here I'd be here everyday.

I've brought in special needs adults three times and each time we were treated graciously;…read moreemployees made sure we were well taken care of. The one employee (didn't get name) was very patient with the nonverbal adult I was with. The next time I was with that same adult, plus another who was very into the experience and wanted a special bracelet for her doll, which meant the owner (Cheyenne) had to figure out the sizing of the string. She was very patient and helpful. I had also explained that the other individual didn't have activity money from our agency because she'd used it all up, so could she just have a box of "old beads from the back" that she could tinker with. Cheyenne took it upon herself to offer her two bracelets on the house. I'll be taking all future individuals to this bead store! The bead selection is overwhelmingly extensive. You'll find what you're looking for.

The proprietor (who was a wrestling champ) will custom order them for you. They have supple leather and will last for many years. I had a similar pair from Crete--they lasted 25 years.

I…read morewent in here thinking that I would not find anything that I needed, but I left with a hoodie and a t-shirt. I probably could have left with so much more, but suitcase would not have room. The selection of shirts and hoodies for all ages was great! I had to walk around the store a few times to help me narrow down my selection. While Manitou Springs has a lot of stores to choose from, this was my favorite by far!

This was my second time stopping at Twin Bears while on a trip to Colorado, and it's quickly become…read morea must-visit for me. Twin Bears has a fantastic selection for anyone looking for a memorable souvenir. Their T-shirt and sweatshirt designs are great. The prices are a little higher compared to some other shops, but you really do get great quality for what you pay. They offer more than just clothing too. This time I bought a beautiful Colorado painting. If you're in Manitou Springs and looking for a unique gift or a special souvenir, Twin Bears is definitely worth a stop!

Ordered online for my daughter's team and received a confirmation email that items were in stock…read moreand my card was charged. Three weeks later (only shipping from Colorado to California), I had not received my order so I contact them. I get a "sorry, items not in stock." Good business practices--heck, even common courtesy--says I should have been notified. December 18 and I'm empty-handed for a team party two days later. Ordered from Oriental Trading Company (which is likely Quacker's supplier since the items are identical) and received the items less than 24 hours later (imagine that--Nebraska to California). Had to order several sets to get what I needed so I'm left with unusable items, a $35 overnight shipping charge, and a major distrust of these quacks. Even if they say it's "in stock" for an online order, don't believe them. What was their intention if I had never contacted them? It's not about the money, it's principle.

The employee clearly stated that she broke my piece during the glaze dipping process. She fired it anyhow so I could see how it turned out, but clearly stated I was not allowed to take the piece with me. Upon further inspection of my piece it was altered in other ways as the lettering I had painted on had clearly been smeared and an attempt to clean it off had been made. I was then told I could come back and paint another piece for "free". No, not free. I already paid for it and was not taking a completed piece home with me. Oh and laughing about it didn't help matters ladies. We will not be back.

I recently discovered this store as I was on the hunt to purchase new wrist mala bracelets. They…read morehave a nice selection of them! The energy in this store is wonderful. Plan on spending plenty of time here as they have an abundance of products to browse. I was hesitant to make a trip down to The Springs today but so glad I decided to! This has become my favorite Tibetan store. There is one on Pearl Street in Boulder that comes in a close second to this one. A very nice lady behind the counter immediately greeted me as I entered the store. I smelled a pleasant scenery of incense that was burning or finished burning up. This lady was also very helpful in showing me several wrist mala bracelets. She also took the time to explain the metaphysical energies of each one I looked at. I was hooked on two of them and ended up purchasing both of them. There was a third one I looked at but had to pass. Next time! She wasn't pushy with a potential sale of the third one and I really liked that about her. I also inquired about meditation cushions. I'm in need of a new one with better material. I struck gold here! They had a nice shelf with newly imported meditation cushions from Nepal. I was immediately drawn to one of the maroon cushions with the "Om" symbol on it. It's beautifully woven onto the top of the cushion with red and yellow stitching. It's very comfortable as well. The lady who helped me with the wrist mala bracelets encouraged me to try out the cushions by sitting on them. The one I'm referring to is very comfortable to sit on. It's stuffed with cotton and made in Nepal. I was hedging on buying it and chose to browse around the store more. I was offered ten percent off the cushion as well. I purchased it and was very satisfied as I carried it out of the store. So, this female staff member I referred to here is the co-owner. She and her husband have owned the store since 2007. I liked that she didn't brag about this and only offered it because I asked. She was very easy to talk to and accommodating. Also, she thanked me profusely for my purchases. Her gratitude was so sincere as well. One thing she said that I completely agree with is, your purchase at this store helps support a local business. I can only imagine how they were affected with the covid shutdown. It's also my understanding that they import products from Nepal on a consistent basis. I will definitely return here again, most likely to purchase the "third mala" I eyeballed earlier. If you like Tibetan culture, jewelry, and other products from their culture, I strongly encourage you to check them out. Again, your purchase(s) helps support a local business! I feel it's worth the trip if you live in the Denver area. There are a lot of nice shops and restaurants nearby. The Tibetan Arts & Crafts store is situated in downtown "Colorado City." The trip alone to visit this historic city is worth it! I will definitely return here again soon and spend more time, most likely an afternoon. I recommend visiting the Tibetan Arts & Crafts store then grabbing lunch or dinner at a nearby place. There are plenty of choices here! I hope your visit becomes a pleasant experience like mine was. Today was a perfect bookend to a good weekend! Looking forward to visiting again soon!
