Visiting from Hawaii!…read more This gift shop is a must for anyone visiting Minnesota! They have a great selection to choose from. You're bound to find something for everyone back home. Magnets, chocolates, photo frames, post cards, cards, puzzles, clothing, tumblers.... The list goes on. Minneso-tah.... I'm gonna give you guys a high five on the Spam merchandise! That just made me feel a little bit at home. Thank you for having that here hehe. It was a pleasant surprise. If you read this, treat yourself to a spam musubi. You'll love it. I bought a bunch of awesome things here! It was hard for me to let go of the things I bought and give them to family and friends. I wanted so desperately to keep everything for myself! So many cute and cool things! Maybe I'll pretend I didn't buy any souvenirs for anyone and hide them in my closet... Mwahaha Btw we loved the employee who helped us that day. Young, tall, handsome gentleman with curly hair. He was sweet and helpful! I learned a new life lesson: When in MN, do not refer to casserole as casserole. It's hotdish!

From getting some chili mix and Minnesota wild rice soup mix for my parents to a t-shirt for my nephew and a glazed coffee mug for my grandma. So glad I stopped here before flying home for the holidays. Everyone loved the gifts and also picked up a scarf that was the perfect price and really high quality. Have to come back for other gifts and just see what they have new in stock.

There's a lot of fun gift ideas, but I will say the main items are geared towards children or women. I did find a shampoo bar I've been wanting, but was also browsing their cook books and candles. I found a new shop to consider when buying gifts for my two sisters. ‍ The staff were welcoming and nice and they talked up some of their chocolates at the checkout area. My friend purchased me a small chocolate that we enjoyed in the theater - they were right! Very good.

I snagged a seasonal ornament at 50% off and browsed for about an hour (could've easily stayed longer, but the rest of the day was calling). Such a cute boutique with tons of goodies! I absolutely loved ALL the jewelry. It's about a 30-minute drive from where I live, but it's definitely worth the trip, and hey, maybe I'll catch a movie too. The real icing on the cake was Julie. She was so pleasant and engaging and truly made me feel welcome. Great customer service is rare these days, and she nailed it-thank you, Julie! If you're in the area or looking for a fun little field trip, this place is a must. Everything is beautifully arranged: jewelry, candles, stationary & clothing, purses, and toys for kiddos. I'd say prices are normal for a boutique and the quality of everything is great. Plus, lots of unique finds. Side note- I was so zoned here that I completely forget to take photos.

It won't be there if you come back a week later! That's what makes it so much fun! It's like walking into a new shop everytime. They have some really great product lines too. If you need ideas or gifts for any occasion, it is a place to check out. Plus, they are really great at at offering to place special orders if they do run out of an item. A couple things I've found: 1. Fun MN sports jewelry in Gopher colors, Wild colors, etc. 2. Personalized gifts from picture frames to serving trays 3. A large array of wine accessories, including this suit of armor wine bottle holder! They can be a bit spendy on some items, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a small business boutique. So, shop til you drop (or run out of money)!!

Items include: sweatshirts, t-shirts, soaps, nick knacks, magnets, etc. I'd say if you're at MOA worth checking out.

It's a quirky little gem that adds a bit of whimsy to an otherwise tedious airport day. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: During a recent 5-hour layover on my way back to Montreal, I found myself wandering through The Frivolous Store at MSP, and it turned out to be the perfect distraction from the usual airport grind. Located in Concourse G, the store is like a playful little escape from the monotony of travel. The vibe is light-hearted, with its colorful displays and quirky assortment of items that immediately draw you in. The selection is as eclectic as it gets--think funky socks, inflatable travel pillows, funny t-shirts, silly gadgets, and some random, offbeat snacks. It's not a place for practical travel gear or serious souvenirs, but if you're in the mood for something fun or weird, this store has you covered. I ended up picking up a silly toy just for laughs, and it was the perfect lighthearted memento to break up my long wait. As for quality, it's hit or miss. Some things, like the travel gadgets, seem decently made, while others, like novelty snacks and t-shirts, feel a little flimsy. The prices are pretty typical for an airport--higher than you'd find elsewhere, but not outrageous. The staff was friendly and helpful, though it wasn't the kind of shopping experience where you'll get detailed advice or anything too specialized. The store's charm lies in its ability to make you smile, not in its seriousness.

Group of 7 visited on 8/6/23. It was our last day in town for our family reunion for which our…read moregroup had flown in from Michigan & Las Vegas, NV. Unfortunately we had been so anxious and excited for the experience for a few months but found upon arriving at what we thought was our tour time, we were informed that our tour was at 11:30 and not 1:30 which was how we read our electronic tickets. After a lot of confusion and explanation to the guy at the door, who seemed to also be confused with the way our electronic tickets was showing the times. He went and spoke with another guy who then came back with him to us still waiting at outside the doors, to explain that our tour time was at 11:30 ending at 1:30! We truly did not realize that because we would have arrived at 11:15 with no problem. Well after us basically trying to express our situation which was the time misunderstanding and our flights were going out that evening...and the guys at the door explaining to us how unfortunate it was that we missed our scheduled tour time and that they would not be able to accommodate a group of 7 for a missed tour. Finally they offered for us to join a lesser priced tour that was just starting, instead of the high priced VIP tour that we paid for. Because of the bind we were in and would not be able to come back at a later date, we agreed to join the basic tour and had to be happy for anything at all at that point. We did not receive a credit or refund for the four price difference. It was truly a surreal tour of Paisley Park that we will all cherish forever! But... 1) The few suggestions that I'm sure would make the experience a much more happy and positive vibe, would have been friendlier faces upon arrival regardless of our situation...just not a friendly greeting by anyone! The visiting excitement and happy vibes were increasingly going further and further down as they gave us locked bags for our cell phones and were given all of the things that we were not allowed to do or touch, which was very understandable, but they way it was said as if we were small children and as if they weren't very happy with their job and couldn't wait to be rid of us so that they could go home for the day. 2) We then met our tour guide who seemed to just basically be there because she had no choice after having been unemployed for over a year prior to being hired there, so it wasn't something she was very familiar with, but it was a job. Felt like she had did a decent job or memorizing the script that she had been given upon hiring, and she seemed pretty tired and winded and found a quick seat immediately at the first opportunity she had. So again, from our first moment at the door of Paisley Park, no one seemed to realize or care that it was a a much anticipated first visit and experience at Paisley park and considering what we paid to visit, because we would expect the total customer service experience as if we were their first tour ever or at least with some enthusiasm and possibly appreciation that we chose to spend our entertainment funds visiting Paisley Park on our last day in town instead of someplace else such as the Mall of America. I'm just saying... fortunately we are happy positive people and still found a way to make the best of our experience which was incredible being able to see so much of the life of Prince! We still had an overall memorable experience together. 3) Lastly, at the end of the tour we were led to the gift shop. We were so looking forward to purchasing Prince tshirts, etc., every since we bought the tickets and couldn't wait for the opportunity! Well to our disappointment, there were very limited tshirt design options and the few that were there only had a few sizes available to choose from. We were told that they currently didn't have anything stocked other than what was available on the floor. Again, very few not so great choices or sizes to choose from, but a couple of us grabbed larger or smaller sizes just so that we had something. Very disappointed though. The tour guide and the cashiers even had a much better option than what we had to choose from. Lol We knew that we would be flying out that evening and would not have another opportunity to come back whenever they were expecting their stock! My question is...how could they not ALWAYS have TONS of tshirt stored and stocked knowing that they would have continuous tours and visitors who would be looking to purchase Prince Tshirts? The only tshirt with a few more sizes to choose from, referenced the year 2022 on it. Other than my above concerns...we will forever cherish our visit to Paisley Park, thank you for the opportunity!

Or if you aren't picky about flavors, they do have a clearance section that's usually up to 50% off. The employees here are always kind to me when I stop in. Nine times in ten they'll offer you a sample truffle, so if I'm at MoA, I'll admit I usually swing by just to get a free one... LOL. But I also like looking at their seasonal offerings-- you know, all the fun holidays like Christmas and Halloween and Easter and such-- because Lindt does a good job of creating cute tins or boxes for the chocolates to make them extra special (fancy chocolate is already special enough but put it in a cute ornament and that's over-the-top cute!). Yesterday I saw they had an advent calendar that you could choose to fill with whichever truffles you wanted for each day's reveal! Such a clever concept! The shop isn't large but doesn't need to be. There's deep wells of all the flavors in their vibrant colored foil wrappings to browse and drool over. And the smell is amazing.
