The owner of the store next door went over and knocked on the door and got the man in charge up. He opened the shop for us and what a beautiful store it is. We settled on a great knife and necklace and the owner worked with me on a price. We will remember this store forever and will return some day. Thank you Gil Guenther Stop in and look around

I was looking for Matryoshka dolls, I searched for it in Anchorage , but I had very few choices and many were damaged and expensive. But this shop had the perfect dolls with a lot of choices and were rightly priced, even though it was a touristy kinda place. I visited this shop last Wednesday. There was an old woman in the billing section,she took so much care in packaging the items we bought, especially the doll.. I appreciate her talent and the care she took on delivering the purchased items with all necessary stuff,which could have been neglected by someone else thinking it as unnecessary. This one act of hers made my souvenir even more special ,as it is now more like a gift from her. This place has beautiful hand made paintings, Christmas crib in Alaskan theme , other cool Alaskan stuff and regular souvenirs as in other shops. I would recommend this place for a if you're looking for a truly Alaskan souvenir with lots of options. This shop actually lies right at the entrance to the Downtown of Talkeetna.. Don't miss it!!!

It's not a large shop, but there were still some nice items, even though some of the other stuff (birch and blueberry syrup, fireweed honey, teas) you can find at other shops as well. Still, there were a lot of unique gifts. It's worth a step in, even to just say hi or find something that catches your eye.

This and the Beadberry patch are the only ones in that cluster that are really worth a visit. They've got some good jewelry and some junk. My companion found an outstanding handmade felted scarf there for a good price. They have some framed Alaskan photographs that were very nice but uber pricey. They also have a small collection of some quality Alaskan craft items. Don't pass this place by just because it's sandwiched between a couple crappy tourist traps or you might miss out on something great!

Not your usual Talkeetna tourist trap!…read more These are all quality goods: wool, shells, down, etc. Rather than cheesy T-shirts, the clothing in here is more "rugged casual wear". Stuff you that looks just as at home in the bar as it does on the trail. Prana, Patagonia, stuff like that. Selection seems to cater more to women than men, but maybe that's just my own bias? Store clerk was friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to check out the 50% off racks, great way to get some serious deals!

After a few drinks at the nearby Fairview, and a few failed attempts at dates, I stumbled down Main St. towards the river. Before I hit the end of the 'main drag', I noticed a shop with appealing decor and great energy on the right hand side of the road. Upon entering, I am immediately struck by the excellent layout & display of the items within this cozy, log-cabin boutique. Once inside & browsing, I found myself surrounded with hand made items, hats, stylish gear, warm socks, kids clothes, indie artwork sweatshirts, survival necessities, reggae music playing, and most important of all, Mosquito repellent! The gentleman running the store, was a strapping young 29-year old Caucasian Rastafarian. He immediately directed me to a new pair of sandals, with much to my delight, a built in bottle opener in the sole! I was able to get a wide array of gifts for a myriad of friends and family from this unique shop! I even purchased a Water bottle donning their great logo, that happened to 'Glow in the Dark', for easy locating on those long nights sleeping on the banks of the Susitna River! Although their motto should be "finest selection of hipster trucker hats in the Mat-Su Borough", they carry a grand selection of stylish apparel & accessories for Men & Women, as well as Gear, gifts, and necessities for life 'in the bush', on your pilgrimage to "Into the Wild" dude's Bus! Overall, if you are in Talkeetna, stop into this cute, stylish little boutique, you're guaranteed to find a great gift, or something you absolutely need & can't live without!

They have some LEGIT stuff that I haven't seen in EONS... fabrics and patterns that I wore in the 70's and 80's... it was mind blowing. They even had stuff from the 50's and 60's.

Thankfully, most of it is actually MADE in Alaska. I scored some AMAZING handmade soap from Talkeetna that is SUMPTUOUS. I also got an uber cute cuff bracelet at a steal for 20 bucks. I love all their made-in-Alaska jewelry and beauty products. They had some fantastic necklace and earring sets of fused glass in the $80 range that had me drooling. And the bear pajamas with a rear trap door area hoot!
