Celebrating Michigan through and through…read more Overall, this is a super cute gift shop that differs from the glut of touristy t-shirt & souvenir shops dominating the main drag in Mackinaw City. I came across this Made in Michigan shop, located in the Mackinaw Crossings outdoor mall, while on vacation at the end of the summer as I was shopping for something more unique, something that didn't scream "you've just bought a tacky souvenir at a tourist trap." After looking around for a few minutes, I could tell there was nothing tacky or "tourist trap" about this shop. Sure, they sold some t-shirts with a distinct Michigan feel (better quality than most of the local t-shirt shops dotting the street), but beyond that there were hand carved wood chopping boards shaped like the Michigan mitten, seasonings, dressings and jams all produced in Michigan kitchens, unique jewelry, artwork and toss pillows in a nautical theme, clearly a nod to Michigan's "Great Lakes" heritage, and plenty of DIY/upcycled home decor, including old Michigan license plates turned into wall hangings. True to its name, everything sold in this store is 100% Michigan made, be it artwork, pottery, glassware, home decor/crafts, jewelry, candles, soaps, clothing, food items and more. In other words, if they sell it, it was made in Michigan. I liked not only the concept, but the execution as well. This store did more than just pay lip service to the idea of selling only Michigan-made products by local artisans. It delivered on all counts, including quality, selection and price. Despite being a gift shop in a popular Upper Michigan tourist town and selling only handmade products made by some of Michigan's finest crafters, artists, etc (not a single commercial/big box retail item is sold in this shop), the prices were quite affordable, surprisingly low, in fact. Truthfully, I expected the prices to be much higher and I would have gladly paid for such high quality, original pieces, though I was secretly jumping for joy at how decent the price point on most things were. I picked up a dainty "upcycled DIY" necklace for myself for $18, some homegrown jam, fridge magnets (about $2 apiece), and a limited edition print (by a fairly well-known Northern Michigan artist). When all was said and done, I dropped less than $80. It's hard to spend under that just walking into any gift shop in Mackinaw City without buying anything more than a cheap t-shirt and some fudge. In my opinion, it was money well-spent. I believe there is an official Made in Michigan Store "sister" location in Grand Rapids that is open year-round that sells a very similar product line as well, based on what the salesperson at the register told me as she was wrapping up my items.

I hope that people will support places like this so that it continues to be one of the more unique downtown's in the up north. Be sure to check this place out.

On a recent visit to Charlevoix, my family wandered inside and looked around at all of the fabulous gifts and home accessories.

We also said hello to the official store greeter, Ella - she is adorable!

Very lovely shop. This was the first store we ended up stopping at in downtown Petoskey today…read more A few of their coasters and artwork is from City Bird in Detroit too, which was funny - I have been there before (and that's a nice shop as well). I bought a corgi pin for $2 here (I love corgis) and wanted some of the prints/artwork too, but they were a bit pricey. They also have earrings/jewelry and a nice selection of Petoskey and non-Petoskey related gifts. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars and not 5/5 is because they obviously have a bathroom, and it says OUT OF ORDER, but my guess is that it's not (where else would the employees go?) and perhaps that's COVID-related ... which is fine, but maybe just put EMPLOYEES ONLY instead. We went next door to Grandpa Shorter's and the employee there recommended the public bathrooms to us, so we took a bit of a hike down the street to the lake instead (pro tip: next time just go next door to the bookstore, they have one in the basement!). So yeah, I was a bit disappointed by that ... I could be totally wrong on this speculation but I've seen other businesses do that too. Other than that, very nice shop and they have super cute stuff, so I'd return next time I'm in Petoskey.

One cool thing is that they have a shelf full of canned beer loosies that you can pick and choose to make your own six-pack. A lot of the beers are local to Michigan or the Midwest, which is neat. I love that this store focuses on local things, even with their beverages. There aren't too many stores on Main Street where you can get a bottle of wine or beers to go, but this is one place. When I visited, beer and wine was 25% off! Yay for discount alcohol. Little Luxuries would be a great place to stop in and find a souvenir to take home. They have so many Mackinac Island-related things in the store, so you're bound to find a nice little tchotchke or memento to bring home to remember your time on the island.

I saw they have some sort of rewards program too where you write your name down on a card and grab the card from the front every time you come in, I think - kind of like a filing system.
