As someone born and raised in this city I would never support this business. You can find local crafts by Alaskan artists nearly EVERYWHERE downtown - the 5th ave mall, Kobuk Coffee, or for Fur Rondy specifics the Fur Rondy store has all the same pins and better selection. Sans the lack of ethics behind this business, I would not shop here due to the lack of value and mark up of local items you can find at other places for less. To support Alaskan artists during Fur Rondy, check out the craft bizarre and market at Dimond Center that starts during the last week in Feb. Support local businesses that actually support local artists and their communities equitably (aka do NOT shop at Sara's!)

Sara's supports the mushers who start the Fur Rondy and Iditarod downtown. Large, too large in fact, selection of bagallini bags. All in all, I'd visit again off season to find gifts for Outside family.

5 Stars AK&Co Gourmet Market…read more AK&Co Gourmet Market at the airport is an absolute gem the kind of place you wander into thinking you'll just browse, and suddenly you're walking out feeling like you've discovered Alaska's hidden treasure chest. Their gift shop game is elite: clean, organized, full of unique local goodies, and stocked with the kind of stuff you actually want to give as gifts instead of the usual airport knick-knacks. From the moment you step in, it feels like a little slice of Alaska's charm wrapped up in one perfectly curated shop. And let's talk about that Alaskan salami with reindeer meat pure, undefeated, top-tier greatness. I'm telling you, it's the kind of snack that makes you forget you're in an airport and instead makes you feel like you're on a culinary expedition through the Last Frontier. Flavorful, rich, and honestly one of the best things you can grab before a flight. Big credit to AK&Co for keeping quality alive and making the airport experience something you actually look forward to.

She is such a joy and inspiration as a person and her beautiful studio reflects her radiant personality. With a variety of items available this is a great spot to stop if looking for art for your living or working space as well as the perfect spot to stop for gifts. I also think that folks that are traveling in Alaska would find the perfect souvenirs for themselves and loved ones here. Offering one of a kind pieces, to prints, post cards and coloring books you'll find there is something for everyone's price range.

For sale are ulus, carvings, jewelry, furs, and other examples of Native crafts. Each vendor identifies where he or she is from, which is a nice touch. The fair takes place during the week of the Iditarod start, so plan accordingly if you're interested in visiting. Most (if not all) vendors are cash only, but fortunately there are ATMs aplenty in the mall if you need one.

The Charlotte Jensen Native Arts Market is one of the best places in Alaska to buy authentic Native…read moreAlaskan made arts & crafts. Its essentially an annual craft fair that is part of the Fur Rondy in late February/March. If you're planning to visit Alaska for the first time and you are looking for something uniquely Alaskan, plan your trip to coincide with the Fur Rondy so you don't miss out on this once a year event. And bring lots and lots of cash! (Some vendors do accept credit cards, but not many.) Every year I could kick myself for not squirreling away more money so I could buy something really amazing. This year I missed out on a one-of-a-kind spotted seal and polar bear purse that made me want to weep. For $550 it makes Coach look like a wet paper bag. I also spied a one of a kind pair of spotted seal boots, also in the 500 dollar range, with a pile so deep and soft that I'm sure I would have had a footgasm every time I put them on if I could have afforded them. My sweetie was drooling over Aleut fisherman carvings of unparalleled craftsmanship. We also saw paintings and bronze statues that also made us regret not having put money aside this year. We did spring for some handmade beaded jewlery that incorporated Alaskan abalone, and porcupine quills and claws. I'm proud to wear jewlery that helps support our native crafts people and ensures that all parts of animals that are hunted are both consumed and perserved as art. Native peoples waste nothing of the animal and make some really amazing practical items as well as wearable art. I really enjoy the craft fair because you meet peoples from all over Alaska. The craft fair is also something of a social gathering. Many of the elders love to tell you their stories while you shop, so plan to stay a while and enjoy hearing stories you aren't likely to forget. Items you're likely to find at the craft fair and price ranges: beaded jewlery- $10-$500 fur items and pelts- $100 to the thousands... walrus ivory carvings and jewlery- $50 to the thousands... paintings and prints- $25- $1000 crocheted items- $10-$100 silver, gold, bronze, copper jewlery- $50-$600 winter & summer parky's- $500-$1000 hair adornments (beaded, shells, fur, etc)- $10-$300 handmade soaps/lotions- $3-$30 and much more....! Also, some of the days of the Craft Fair they also have Native Dancing demonstrations with various Native Alaskan nations represented. Check the annual Fur Rondy schedule for more details.
