From home to fashion as well as adult and children's items. Take the time to stop in, you won't be disappointed. I also love that I can take items in for recycling. I've brought light bulbs, batteries and a computer to be recycled. I would check their website or call or stop in if you have questions, but they've always been wonderful with me.

This store is making my low-waste journey much easier (and cheaper). They have Stasher bags,…read moreDropps, dish brushes and brush replacements, silk floss refills, bar soaps galore, reusable food containers and straws, soap nuts, compostable dish towels, and SO MANY other things. They even have greeting cards with eco-friendly messaging, which is perfect because I've been buying housewarming gifts here! In my experience, all of these items have been the cheaper than Amazon and the bulk store in West Seattle. I've also taken my styrofoam here for recycling -- free for Recology customers or $4 for a shopping bag full.

First off I'd like to say that I have been bringing my twin daughters to this store since they were…read moreone year old and I have NEVER seen the behavior from the staff as described by the woman posting another comment. In fact, my experience has always been the opposite and my daughters are 10 years old now. Both Lael and Kathy, the owners, even let them pick out little trinkets to take with them. It made my girls do happy! Now for my review. I learned so much from Kathy and Lael over the years that I am so thankful for. Their teaching is top notch and I highly recommend going and learning this form of art that is slowly becoming lost. If you think you aren't artistic enough, Think again. I can't draw, paint, sketch or sculpt to save my life, After going through their classes I feel like I am a talented artist. I also made lifelong friends there taking the classes. The students are a wonderful group of people! The other side of the business is fantastic as well! If you are looking to spruce up your home with some beautiful art pieces, stained glass is the way to go. Whether it's putting glass in your cabinet doors or filling a window with color, Glass Expressions is the place to fulfill those needs.

I love the attitudes and proud disposition of one of the employees named Cole. What I love most is that he has a gift shop type of attitude. He's aware that more than likely a customer is picking up something special for a special someone and he above and beyond to help you. I often observe employees and how they interact with other customers while shopping and he's a total sweetheart. He takes pleasure and care to make sure your family member or friend receives not only an awesome gift but that the presentation is just right. I love when he asked if I want my gift wrapped up and stated that "Presentation is Everything"...I love it... also as a side note, they actually supply stamps and would mail postcards out for you!!! Jude is another employee that is very attentive and helpful. You feel so invited when you walk into this shop. Just when I thought it was too late for me to send a postcard out to myself, seeing that I'm headed out Cole and Jude made it happen!!!!

They also had a large selection of huckleberry products! I adore huckleberry and will definitely be back to get my snackage on.

We know they love snacking on all the PNW special foods and candies. There was so much to pick from! It was difficult making choices. Helping us was a lovely lady, Traci.

I recommend this local shop not just for holiday gifts but any PNW notions you may have during the year.

What an absolutely adorable gift store in Snoqualmie. Multiple types of gifts to choose from. From wine, champagne, sauces, cards, gift items and more.

I didn't look at the prices of the Christmas decorations but they were so cute and I think I might go back for the holidays and purchase some. Plenty of parking in the area. Come here and see for yourself! As always, SYOY.

Thank local artwork, hand blown glass pieces, jewelry, home decor, and a bunch of quirky things you didn't know you needed until you see them.

(See pics, the jellyfish was absolutely STUNNING) Somebody please buy this for Cody!!! I went in thinking I'll just take a quick look, then suddenly I had spent twenty minutes wandering around noticing new things on every shelf. If you're visiting Bainbridge, or even a local you must definitely stop in. It's a great spot to find something unique and a good reminder of how creative the local artist community is on Bainbridge!
