On a rainy day of our camping trip, we discovered something that i didn't know existed in a small…read moretown like Homer. Something I haven't seen since leaving the lower 48- big cities like Philly and NY- a book store that left me speechless. It literally made me cry. Given how everything is moving toward AI and libraries get rid of old books nowadays, and our government has become one of gaslight and denial, books and bookstores like this will be the only preservation of the truth that remains. Precious things these are. The oldest book this bookshop has is from the 1600s. Wow.

Favorite bookstore in the state. I love when shopping for used books feels like a discovery.read more

I stumbled upon this gift shop after visiting another shop nearby. This shop has soooo many…read morebeautiful items in it. There are many little items that are perfect for baby showers, engagements, birthdays, mothers or Father's Day, or just because. It's also a great place to buy a great new piece of furniture. Some items are a little pricey, so they may not fit your taste, but if they are just what you are looking for you won't be able to resist. This is a gift shop that is a new must stop for me to look for future gifts for my loved ones when I'm in town. I also have a piece I may buy in the future! I rate this place 4/5 because the items are still a bit pricey. Staff were very enthusiastic and friendly!

I saw a LOT of stuff I wanted and i needed to get the heck out of there. The Japanese floats started at 10 bucks which is less than they charge for them in Anchorage, which surprised me.

I've bought stuff here a couple times... the store is kinda irresistible if you're a chick. But…read moredamn its overpriced. And the last time I was there the gal that waited on me was kinda rude/distracted when she waited on me. No thank you or acknowledgement of any kind. I did like that social distancing and masks are enforced in the store, which is not the norm in Homer. I've gotten a lot of cool gifts, nautical themed stuffed animals and knickknacks, and clothing here over the years. I finally scored a really nice fleece lined Salty Dawg zip up that I am practically living in these days- its luscious!

Such a great gift shop! Right off the pier, Salty Girls has a big selection of souvenirs, from…read moreshirts to hats to mugs to bobbles. Prices aren't bad for a tourist shop in Homer, the owner is really helpful, and the selection of products is fantastic. There were too many cute/shiny/funny/interesting products to decide what I wanted and I had to go back a couple times... If you're a shopper or not, Salty Girls is just a great stop. *And if you're looking for Salty Dawg attire, Salty Girls has a much bigger selection than Salty Dawg Saloon next door*

Avoid the cheesy t-shirts and what-not and save your pennies for Inua. You will go home with something wonderful and unique. Just a warning... leave children outside... this is not the kind of place you'd want to risk having a boo-boo.
