I've bought stuff here a couple times... the store is kinda irresistible if you're a chick. But…read moredamn its overpriced. And the last time I was there the gal that waited on me was kinda rude/distracted when she waited on me. No thank you or acknowledgement of any kind. I did like that social distancing and masks are enforced in the store, which is not the norm in Homer. I've gotten a lot of cool gifts, nautical themed stuffed animals and knickknacks, and clothing here over the years. I finally scored a really nice fleece lined Salty Dawg zip up that I am practically living in these days- its luscious!

Such a great gift shop! Right off the pier, Salty Girls has a big selection of souvenirs, from…read moreshirts to hats to mugs to bobbles. Prices aren't bad for a tourist shop in Homer, the owner is really helpful, and the selection of products is fantastic. There were too many cute/shiny/funny/interesting products to decide what I wanted and I had to go back a couple times... If you're a shopper or not, Salty Girls is just a great stop. *And if you're looking for Salty Dawg attire, Salty Girls has a much bigger selection than Salty Dawg Saloon next door*

There are many little items that are perfect for baby showers, engagements, birthdays, mothers or Father's Day, or just because. It's also a great place to buy a great new piece of furniture. Some items are a little pricey, so they may not fit your taste, but if they are just what you are looking for you won't be able to resist. This is a gift shop that is a new must stop for me to look for future gifts for my loved ones when I'm in town. I also have a piece I may buy in the future! I rate this place 4/5 because the items are still a bit pricey. Staff were very enthusiastic and friendly!

Basically all manner of shit I can't afford but want. A lot of it is in the vein of "shabby chic at the beach". What there isn't is much locally/Alaskan made stuff, which is fairly unusual for the spit, but it is of good quality, which is why I like this store.

Bear Country Fishing Village's gift shop and Big Bear Halibut Charters share real estate on the…read moreHomer Spit. The gift shop is an pleasant and unexpected companion to the fishing charter. By Homer standards, the gift shop is huge and yet it's unadvertised as though it were an after-thought. Bear Country is the most well-rounded Alaska themed shop on the Homer Spit boardwalk. They have the biggest variety of average-man's Alaska made and Alaska themed gifts on the Spit. Bear Country is primarily authentically Alaskan, which really surprised me. I'll forgive them for their large collection of made-in-China Alaska t-shirts in light of their array of handicrafts. I loved that they had Alaskan-made knitted and crocheted items, pottery and crafts that included locally found driftwood, sea glass and lava rock. There was a nice selection of affordable handmade jewelery, bric-a-brac and soaps. Bear Country gift shop is a treasure in it's own right!

Avoid the cheesy t-shirts and what-not and save your pennies for Inua. You will go home with something wonderful and unique. Just a warning... leave children outside... this is not the kind of place you'd want to risk having a boo-boo.

Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I love supporting locally made products, regardless of…read morewhere I live. In Alaska, this is especially true because we are isolated and it's so important to our local economy. Furthermore, Alaska, and Homer in particular is teeming with artists. I suppose our amazingly beautiful but short summers and long, dark winters give our local artists lots of time to reflect on Alaskan beauty. I've never seen so many talented artists in one place. As such, I realize the longer I live here, to more desensitized I have become to good art. So when a particular artist catches my eye, it follows that they must be REALLY good. High Tide Arts is the home of Jens and Leslie Klaar. Jens is a talented knife maker and Leslie creates wonderful mosaics and watercolors. Leslie's work is characteristically Alaskan-themed. Her watercolors and mosaics are very different. I love the bold use of colors in her mosaics that hint at Japanese origami. Her paintings are in an entirely different style and equally fabulous. She has prints and originals for sale as well as art cards. High Tide's gallery sells art and jewelery made by many other talented Alaskan artists as well. The gallery is only open during the warm season from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but you can also order from them online. They do take credit cards as well.

Great artwork by locals, and prices are lower anywhere that I found. Leslie is very helpful and a…read morewonderful artist herself.
