I called them up to put together some gift baskets for me and they mailed them to me on time and everything was well packaged and safe. They even included these cute little Lake Tahoe gift tags for convenience. I totally appreciate everything teachers do, but planning for Mother's Day and teacher appreciation all in the same week does make it hard for us busy mamas. I really value the convenience and ease of this process, and it really takes the stress out of finding thoughtful gifts.

The selections here are slanted more towards "girly" selections, which means that Gayle found a few nice gifts and my discoveries were more towards what she might like as future present. There were many options in that department. They had some very nice Christmas items on sale towards the back, but to my surprise, Gayle didn't bite. She told me later that she was tempted, but felt overwhelmed at home with all the Holiday items we already owned. Depending on post-holiday timing of putting everything away (including some thinning of our stuff), I might circle back.

Out of all the stores in South Lake Tahoe this is by far my favorite. I love their wooden maps. I…read morebought one for my husband as a wedding gift as we got married in Tahoe and were staying at the Grand Resort. The map is so intricate and even has an alcove of where we got married on it. I have seen other maps that are encased in glass. Now looking back I wonder why they didn't offer that option to me as an upgrade. I would have totally jumped on it as the delicate map wouldn't collect dust like it does now. They had a tahoe girl sweater that caught my eye this time. I loved the softness of it and the white color. What was a turn off was the length it was just too short. In the winter I don't want my tummy hanging out. I want to keep it nice and warm with the rest of me. They also have a nice selection of soaps that always catch my eye. I love homemade soaps and these look locally made. One day I'll cough of the money for a bar or two. I was going to get one for my gf as a gift, but I don't know if she loves soaps as much as i do or if she just goes for the soft soap on a bottle. I'll have to ask her then next time I see her. Last time I bought a paper pop up flower display for my gf's retirement gift. It was so fun as it was beautiful and never dies. I hope she liked it as much as I did. One thing that caught my eye last time I was there was a fleece blanket with a map of South Lake Tahoe on it. It was soft on the map side and fleece on the back side. It looked so cozy warm. I would have totally gotten it if not a month before I had gotten one from Alaska that had a map of Alaska on it. This blanket will make someone a great gift. I hope you enjoy this store as much as I do and take home a piece of South Lake Tahoe with you.

On Tahoe Time is one of my favorite stores in Heavenly Village. Located next to Starbucks and…read moreacross from Base Camp Pizza, it's one of those places that's worth walking through even if you don't plan on buying anything. Think of it as an art gallery mixed with a modern gift shop, filled with thoughtfully curated home décor, unique keepsakes, and Tahoe-inspired finds. We were welcomed as we walked in, which was a nice touch considering how busy the store was. The candles are always my favorite, and I make it a point to check out their beautiful wood-carved Lake Tahoe maps and canvas artwork every year. They have a great selection of pieces that can add a little Tahoe charm and sophistication to your home. Everything feels intentionally selected, and despite fitting so much into the space, the store never feels cluttered or overwhelming. One of my favorite surprises this visit was their expanded hat selection. They had trendy designs, Smokey Bear hats, and national park-inspired apparel that stood out from the typical souvenir shop offerings. It felt like they had something for just about everyone while still staying true to the Tahoe vibe. I'll definitely be back for another candle, sticker, or hat. And one of these days, when the budget and wall space allow, I may finally bring home one of those wood-carved maps. If you're looking for a unique Tahoe gift--or something for yourself--this is absolutely a store worth stopping into.

If you like the French Country decor within the restaurant, you'll enjoyed a stroll through this Shop. Gayle and I came in after a marvelous and happy Family dinner at La Ferme. Although it's small, this Menagerie has many layers including Jewelry, Art, Glass, Pottery, and other gifts for around the home and garden. It all started when Gayle was admiring the necklace that one of our Servers was wearing and ended with our purchase of a few nice glass filament bowls and a ceramic Rooster on a Basket (to put our lemons). A gold-accented bead necklace (by the same jewelry designer) looked amazing on Gayle, but we'll save that somewhat pricey strand for the next special occasion.

The dinner and cocktails are always such a wonderful relaxing time and the meal is so marvelous. You feel as though they just picked all the ingredients right from their garden to put in your special dish made just for you. Gilles and his staff attend to your every need and we would not think of visiting the area without making this one of our stops. I always ask Gilles to open his boutique for me as I love seeing all his new finds waiting for me to take a peek at. I feel as though I am in another world. I am not someone to give out stars willy nilly, but when they are deserved then I dish them out. We eat out a lot and nothing compares to Gilles. I just wish I was closer to his place as I will be there more often. Do yourself a favor when in town and stop by, but give yourself time, make reservations, and get there early. You won't be sorry.
