While I didn't purchase anything this shop was sure fun to look around in... The staff was friendly and someone was always nearby if you needed assistance with anything. Definitely a fun and unique shopping experience in the heart of Galena's Main St.!

Interesting shop.

They didn't have the size I was hoping for, but I was told that they order just about weekly and will order the size needed, with shipping out of town being about $8. Not a bad deal so I'll have to keep it in mind. Ashley is the store clerk who helped me, and she was fantastic. They are lucky to have her here.

They've got something for everyone, and it's super fun to walk around the store and interact with the staff and the games. They've got a ton of stuff that you can play with while you're there, and the staff knows about everything there to offer up opinions on all their items. We stop in this place so often that I've lost count. Their content changes so heading in there is normally going to be somewhat of a new experience, and they've remodeled a bit to make it even easier to walk around and check things out. This place is normally super busy, but I did manage to get some pictures since we were the first ones in. It's absolutely a place to support, and they put in a great amount of effort to make sure you have the best experience in a brick-and-mortar store. It's a challenge to not leave with something in your hands. If you have kids, I'd say it's not possible - at least with mine :D

There is an entire wall dedicated to Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles, along with lots of books, handfuls of stuffed animals, and plenty of other toys to enchant the kiddos. Pricing was relatively on point and I was most impressed with the friendly employee who was more than happy to give us direction and suggestions regarding our dinner options that evening. Next time I'm in the area I'm going to do my due diligence and peruse the front of the store for a little something for myself. Girlfriend Gabby has the gift scenario on lockdown, so if you find yourself scrambling for *something* for **someone** while in downtown Galena, definitely stop on by.

While the service in most stores in Galena is pretty good, I think the folks at Gabbys give that extra touch of helpfulness to find the right thing without bombarding you around the store.

Last year, my mother in law asked to see a vase and was told she really couldn't afford it anyway so they werent going to bring it down. I was appalled. This store should be avoided at ALL cost. There are plenty of other home goods and decor store who are absolutely kind to the people who come into their store.

One complaint I had was my son (6/Autistic) was with me while I was looking around, it seemed that every place I went to look at, the owner was there watching me at my son... she either was "folding" items... or straightening items on shelves. One time I seen her to walk to where we were and look at us, I saw her, so she turned and walked away... Kinda felt uncomfortable, but then when I went to check out, she acted like she wasn't keeping an eye on us and acted friendly... she didn't follow or watch anyone else in the store.

They have clothes--lots of t-shirts; pop star candles in the style of devotional candles (pretty sure I saw a Nikki Minaj one, which... no), and other sorts of fun, irreverent items.

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about Becky and the staff at Valley!! My flowers were gorgeous and budget friendly. I brought them lots of pictures of what I was looking for and they were able to create exactly what I wanted. The bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces and flowers for my cake were stunning! All of the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The flowers were delivered to my venue on time with no issues. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Valley Perennials for any event and even just to send a loved one a bouquet - I continue to use them every year to send my mom flowers for Mother's Day!

We had our summer wedding in Galena and was given the name of Valley Perennials as an option for flowers. I am big into research so I took to the internet to find reviews, pictures, etc. After finding it hard to gather information about Galena business I took a chance on Valley Perennials based on the pictures on their website. I could not have made a better decision. It is a family run business that is down to earth and really understands what it means to have a wedding budget. I met with one of the owners Becky and discussed my vision, and with her guidance everything was stunning. She captured the look and feel of the wedding and left people amazed with the flowers. She even takes it that extra mile with her special touches. I had no idea what to expect when it came to the cost of flowers but I found Valley Perennials to be really reasonable. Becky even gave me options with different price points to make sure I was comfortable with the budget. This place is a must for any bride planning a wedding in the Galena area!!
