It's not a large shop, but there were still some nice items, even though some of the other stuff (birch and blueberry syrup, fireweed honey, teas) you can find at other shops as well. Still, there were a lot of unique gifts. It's worth a step in, even to just say hi or find something that catches your eye.

This is such a good shop with lots of native options for getting a good souvenir from an…read moreunforgettable Alaskan trip. I was looking for Matryoshka dolls, I searched for it in Anchorage , but I had very few choices and many were damaged and expensive. But this shop had the perfect dolls with a lot of choices and were rightly priced, even though it was a touristy kinda place. I visited this shop last Wednesday. There was an old woman in the billing section,she took so much care in packaging the items we bought, especially the doll.. I appreciate her talent and the care she took on delivering the purchased items with all necessary stuff,which could have been neglected by someone else thinking it as unnecessary. This one act of hers made my souvenir even more special ,as it is now more like a gift from her. This place has beautiful hand made paintings, Christmas crib in Alaskan theme , other cool Alaskan stuff and regular souvenirs as in other shops. I would recommend this place for a if you're looking for a truly Alaskan souvenir with lots of options. This shop actually lies right at the entrance to the Downtown of Talkeetna.. Don't miss it!!!

I previously had been an avid fan of Talkeetna Girl Soaps until I discovered Silverbear Manly Soaps. I have extremely sensitive, dry skin prone to allergic reactions, bumps, and a number of other issues. Silverbear Manly Soaps has fixed most of the problems with my skin on almost all of my body, and it smells amazing, and when bought in bulk, it's a dollar cheaper to what I had been using previously, so I'm a convert! I also love their chapstick (Previous Burts Bees addict here!) DON'T PASS BY THIS TINY LITTLE SHOP LIKE I DID FOR SO MANY YEARS! THEIR stuff is GREAT!!!

I'm in Alaska and have mosquito bites! Shocking, I know…read more The locals on our Talkeetna River Guides float tour talked about the plant called Devil's Club. Earlier, on a hike at Byers Lake, the guide talked about Devil's Club being used medicinally for things like mosquito bites. I asked around and some locals said that Silverbear Sundries is the place to get Devil's Club balm. Not in Talkeetna? They mail it to you! I got the Mountain Mamma Balm that does NOT have hemp in it and smells great. There are two Pokemon Go pokestops within reach of this store, so stay a while. There are two gyms around the corner, too.

Man oh man was this a fun store to walk around in and gawk at the wonderful inventory of 1960's nostalgia. Looking for hippie related clothes, jewelry, accessories.... you'll find it here. You can even pose for photos with a vintage 1960's VW bus. I picked up a sweet tie dye Alaskan Hippie T-shirt and it immediately became my favorite T-Shirt. Peace and Love to all the groovy Yelpers!
