Minnesota Gifts by Sandra Dee

Minnesota Gifts by Sandra Dee

(2 reviews)

I'm compelled to write this after seeing these 2 totally wrong reviews. We have visited Duluth for…read moreover 20 years now and have ALWAYS stopped in to see "Sandra" at Minnesota Gifts by Sandra Dee. That store has been there for over 3 decades for a reason! She's got it ALL there because she knows from experience what tourists/travelers need or forget when they leave home (especially when that lake drums up crazy unexpected weather) and what they might want to bring back with them! One time the rain came out of nowhere and we ran into the Dewitt-Seitz bldg., MN Gifts had rain ponchos (score), another time my wife forgot her jacket in the hotel room and that northern wind was blowing fierce, MN Gifts had awesome heavy sweatshirts for the whole family (still wear mine), my son got some gorgeous Lake Superior agates and cool MN stickers for his iPad/water bottle once, forgot sunscreen for the boat ride--you guessed it--MN Gifts had it, oh and lost my Ray-Bans one time and got a cheapo pair from MN Gifts (stylish and they lasted FOREVER). Best part though was the epic hand-painted antique saw blade we purchased one year for my dad to hang in the family cabin! "Sandra's" daughter is a local wildlife artist, and I can't even begin to tell you how incredible her work is! One could visit that shop just for the chance to snag a piece of MN beauty that'll last a lifetime (if they're not sold out already). My point is this is a unique "mom and pop" shop owned by locals, not some run of the mill chain, it's family-owned and MN Nice through and through. I think David S. in his post was jilted, and hey maybe "Sandra" was having a hard day, we ALL have bad days, but don't let that stop you from visiting her shop...we've been going there FOR DECADES and it's like visiting long lost friends. AND BTW my wife is disabled from an accident and uses arm crutches at times, we were never turned away for her being "disabled", but MN Gifts is a narrow shop and with all the treasures in there, there is not sufficient room for a wheelchair to maneuver around safely. That was likely the case for reviewer Barb S.

There are a number of great shops and restaurants at DeWitt-Seitz, and I was finishing lunch with…read moremy family at one of them - Taste of Saigon - when my 2-year-old daughter saw from the window a large, stuffed moose across the hall, in front of Minnesota Gifts by Sandra Dee. The moose is set up to take photographs, so our daughter posed while her grandparents took a few snapshots. Then our daughter lingered. I'm sure Ms. Dee has the kind of highly interesting, fine quality items you might expect to find at any number of souvenir stands in the area, but it is unfortunate for her store that the proprietor is such a joyless, nasty person. Her shop being empty at the moment, and with no one else by the entrance on a slow weekday mid-afternoon, she emerged to ask if we weren't done taking photographs, and to suggest we leave. Happily, we did. Just upstairs is a coin-operated horse in front of store with a cheerful owner. The fabulous J Skylark Co. is just across the way. I grew up in Duluth and have been through Dewitt-Seitz dozens if not hundreds of times. I've never been treated so rudely as I was at Minnesota Gifts by Sandra Dee.
