I didn't see a sign stating "you break it you buy it" but if there's not one there should be. Walking the aisles here is like standing in a buffet line it's difficult to navigate this place and it seems like most customers are just looking so the most open spaces in this shop are around the cash registers. I didn't my find my refrigerator magnet I was looking for but there are plenty more shops to explore. I like to stroll the aisles like I'm running into a grocery store to get a loaf of bread, I'm not a window shopper and I definitely don't need to pick up and admire everything and comment on the prices. The big question is would I return, of course I would, are you kidding me it's air conditioned and a great spot to cool down...

Sure there are some unique items but most are the same stuff every other gift shop in a beach town sells - if you're wondering why I'm here well I was looking for a refrigerator magnet for the RV documenting our visit to the area. I spent about 10 minutes here and fortunately never reached for my wallet since I never found anything that I couldn't live without - the staff here was scurrying around mostly silent with their heads on a swivel looking for those's with bad intentions I guess - the prices are what you'd expect not outrageous being there is plenty of competition bidding for your dollars close by. I'm sure the margins here are quite good so maybe try doing a little bargaining so you'll feel better about making a purchase that will likely end up in a junk drawer or you're next garage sale...

I wanted to keep my olive oil on my counter in it so I asked if there was lead in the paint and was assured no lead. Today I was about to wash it before using and I could see something dark inside, I looked inside with a flashlight and could see that the ceramic coating did not coat the inside completely, about 1/3 was raw uncoated, so I cannot use it. Highly disappointed considering what I paid for it. If you go there check carefully before purchasing. Now I can only use it for display, not what I wanted it for.
