The Original Sand Dollar is hands down my favorite shop on the island. It's not a trip to AMI…read moreunless I've shopped around here. This is the best beach boutique featuring the cutest glassware, home decor, dresses, accessories, jewelry, and more. The girls working are always so welcoming and you can tell that so much dedication has gone into owning such a beautiful shop. I visited in January and we got to speak with the owner about the hurricane damage and it was impressive to hear how they spent countless hours restoring the shop. I own a few rings from here that I wear all the time and the cutest AMI shirt that is unlike your typical t-shirt souvenir that you would find at a chain touristy shop. There is so much to see in this store and it is definitely worth your time to make a quick pit stop here on your next visit to AMI.

More unique gifts; not just the usual beach items you see in So many other coastal shops. Prices are very good, for quality items. Shop is fun and relaxing to browse. This year, i got this coaster, and decided to add a shell i found to make it a daily memory to enjoy. If youre looking for a gift, they wrap all items so nicely in a cute bag, and teal colored tissue. Men, surprise your favorite partner with a momento from Gidgets! Shop and enjoy, at Gidget's!

so, I did not find many souvenir stores in the siesta beach area. In fact, when I was in St…read more Armand's Circle, there were stores selling t-shirts and other merch.. but as a typical souvenir- it was not there. So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach. Beach Bazaar knows exactly what you need at a low price

The stuff you give away and then they toss it. Good garage sale stuff. Seems this place is kinda new, which happens all the time. Came across this glassware made locally, stands about 5x5. Very unique. Woman staffing the place was lovely, well spoken, and very helpful. I think her name was Adina. Like many of the shops in the region, the clerk makes all the difference. And the sale.

Terrible Experience! I ordered a specialized Italian knife…read moreset that their web site advertised as being available. I paid close to $700 back in May 2016 and never heard a thing after numerous emails and phone messages left. Finally on 7/11/2016 I reached someone only to be told that not all the pieces were available but some might be. I then had to call again on 7/13/2016 to be told that they had no idea what was available and nothing was being done....so in my frustration I cancelled the order and was told I would get a refund. It is 7/30/2016, over 2 weeks and NO REFUND. I have initiated a charge back from my credit card company. This level of incompetence is UNREAL. This place knows my phone number and my email address but chose to NEVER contact me about their inability to fulfill the order. Today the exact same knife set is STILL ADVERTISED as available on their web site. Pathetically run business and in my mind, completely untrustworthy. How can it take TWO MONTHS to get back to me?? I wasn't in Afghanistan! I had to exert the effort investigate this and force the refund I was promised. This knife set was sentimental in nature and I WASTED 2 MONTHS with this merchant when I COULD HAVE FOUND THEM ELSEWHERE. As it stands not the items are being discontinued and are NOW even harder to find after waiting over 2 months! Thanks for your incompetence and horrible communication!!!!! NEVER PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!

Layered with the lotion it's heavenly. I will say it was hard to find this year, this is the third location change in St Armand's, I really loved the first one the best. But this current location seems bigger than the last one more merch, and easier to maneuver around. Service wasn't as friendly this time, but hopefully that's a one off.

Never have i been treated like that before.
