If I lived in Sitka this is where I would shop. While The Cellar had it's share of tourist crap (it…read moreis on "tourist row") it only took about about a third of the store. What I was really impressed by was the selection of women's clothes and the super friendly salespeople. They had nice wearable clothes, perfect if you're 13 to 45. There was a Guess label spotted but the clothes were more of the comfy cozy hip variety (as opposed to Guess' interest in the ho-y uncomfy stiletto variety). As usual the Yelp map is horrendous and shows this place as being a mile away from where it should be.

The staff are so friendly, and we got side track and I forgot my $50.00 change. So that afternoon…read morewhen I noticed that I did not get my change, after our excursion I went back to the store and I was told to contact the manager, which I did, I left messages, and he call me back for some reasons, I did not noticed that he sent me a text message so I called him. He said he checked the video, that it was not given, he issued a cheque for reimbursement. I'm thankful that he honored my claim. I received the refund checked today. Thank you... Alicia S.

Still, they have an impressive selection of matryoshka dolls in all sizes and price ranges, plus assorted local trinkets and souvenirs - basically a good place to find whatever sort of Alaska memory you're looking for to remember your trip by. They also had a nice sale rack in the back where I found 1/2 price matryoshka dolls. It was hard to resist not buying one at such a good price!

I wanted to buy my daughter a nesting doll (matryoshka), and they had soooo many to choose from. I found her one on a sale rack. I also got myself a beautiful cross from Russia to add to my collection of crosses. I am kicking myself, however, for not getting the fur hat. They had several and they cost about $75-85 bucks, but would have been such a cool souvenir to have during the winter time here. Even though it doesn't get THAT cold in Paso Robles, they looked really fun. I won't pass up the opportunity next time! Save your shopping dollars in Alaska for this place. Really cool stuff.

Prices here are not bad. The store sells basically souvenirs. Great prices on hoodies and t-shirts…read more Lots of selections to choose from. The store is quite big and it looks like it takes up two store fronts. They have a combo t-shirt and cap for $20. One of the busier stores in Sitka when the cruise ship arrives.

I bought two scarves and was totally happy with my purchase. I wish I'd had room in my suitcase to fit more- loved the Alaska items they had for sale! The young woman who helped me was so kind and she wrapped my scarves very carefully. Do take a moment to shop here on your way to the courtesy buses if you go into town (this shop is on the upper level- and the line for the bus actually ran outside of it.)

This is a relatively new cruise terminal privately built but not very close to town in walking…read moredistance. There are complimentary shuttles for passengers to get into town with a 10 minute drive along the coastline. The bus drivers give a brief narration of the town which was just enough to get us excited for the day. The cruise terminal seems to only accommodate one ship at a time as it has only a small pier. At the exit, there are food trucks and a few shops with one large restaurant. There is security past the pier but before the shops and the shuttle busses. Very easy to navigate but to see the town in Sitka, you must take the shuttles.

Sitka City and Borough are situated between mountains and the sea in Southeast Alaska. The region…read moreis shaped by its Tlingit and Russian heritage. It includes a rich array of landmarks, natural features, and cultural sites. When we got off the ship, we were delighted to see a golf cart that would take us into the terminal as it was a long walk. This is a new terminal with lots of shopping. We took the time to stop and take a picture of the carved Bald Eagle that welcomes visitors to Sitka. We were able to take advantage of the free shuttle bus into downtown to the Harrigan Centennial Hall. It was a very pleasant scenic ride with a great commentary by the driver.

They had the necklace clasp repaired in 2 days, but said they could not repair the bracelet clasp because of the material it was made out of.

I strongly suggest going here if you are looking for friendly people who are extremely willing to help!

My only gripe about this business is the price which seems quite high and clearly is going after the visiting tourists. I am not an expert on price when it comes to this type of work but I clearly recognize beauty and craftsmanship when I see it and the merchandise they sell at this business oozes it! This is a must visit if you are a collector of fine Christmas ornamates and if you can afford it you will find yourself in Nirvana (:

I took an illegal picture here. Don't arrest me!…read more Random House carries the best collection of non-traditional nesting dolls that I saw in Alaska. It's worth a visit just to see sets like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Harry Potter, and the American presidents. Because everyone wants to take a picture and not actually buy the nesting dolls, the purveyors have had to put up a sign saying, "No photographs!" Thankfully I didn't notice the sign before I snapped away. They also had a nice supply of Russian Christmas ornaments and I bought one. Pay no attention to the Yelp map which maps Random House by its P.O. number, Random House is located on Lincoln St. along with all the other tourist shops.

For those who want a slightly different take home item other than the geo-graphic key chains, a small to medium sized nesting doll set is my recommendation.

Regrets - I need to decide whether to keep them or give 'em to the niece...sheesh, should've bought two!
