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

Talk about finding everything Louisiana and Cajun/Creole in this store. This store is chock full of…read moreeverything Louisiana. The lady who worked there was a local for over 25 years. She knew a lot of the area and was able to recommend a great restaurant to eat meat pies (a local favorite and Natchitoches is known for). She also sold us some tasty little pralines (pronounced praw-leens in the South). If you're looking for friendly staff and a quaint, everything Louisiana store in a quaint little town, this is the place to shop. It's a little on the small side, but every inch of that store is filled with items for purchase.

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.

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.

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!
