Park Falls has a cute little downtown, of which Patchouli Garden is a part. If you're nearby and…read morewant to check it out, I highly recommend driving over to see if it's open--Google told me it was closed on Saturday but it wasn't. They have a variety of items, so you could easily find a gift for someone here if you're not looking for yourself. They had some cute wind chimes and there was one I liked a lot, but I just moved and am not familiar enough with my new home to know where it could go. They had some plants and planters--I certainly don't need another planter but there was a hedgehog on that was too cute to leave on the shelf. They have some t-shirts, including some Park Falls souvenir ones. There were some baby items, jewelry, and what they're probably best known for--their bath bar. They had a nice large sink and a variety of oils, soaps, and so on for folks to smell and try. I didn't buy any bath stuff but I always appreciate when a store selling lotions and potions has a sink for you to rinse off. Service was friendly and not pushy. Parking is super easy; I'm not sure if there's ever a busy time in Park Falls, but there was street parking directly in front of the store and throughout the downtown.

It's nice to see a candle store that isn't overloaded with the ubiquitous Yankee Candle crap. Candle Cottage carries Colonial House and several other brands I'd never heard of like Kringle (heavenly black tea scented candles) and Milk House (yummy soy scents, reasonably priced). They also have a large selection of house brand candles that are very well priced - the scents seemed hit or miss to me but there were lots of choices. We bought a candle as a gift here, and they were happy to wrap it in pretty fall tissue for us. If your cabin is a little musty, this place will help you banish the stink!

Cool store. Seriously, the Scandinavian sweaters are…read moreGORGEOUS! Oh my gosh! $200 and one is yours! They have these cool wash clothes made in Hayward. I'll buy them online for Christmas gifts this year. Great stocking stuffer! Stock included standard postcards, magnets, notecards, color books, mugs, children's books and recipes all from Scandinavia. Christmas knick knacks galore. August in Hayward was not the time for Christmas gifts. CUTE kiddie clothing. Warm socks. Shows straight for over the pond. A few choice Rosemaling pieces from a local artist. Beautiful. Pricy but worth it. My grandma had many of the same pieces in her home years ago. Great store. I bought a bumper sticker because this Norwegian couldn't find anything worth dropping a wad of cash but I'm glad I stopped in.

What a surprise! I went into this joint as a perfunctory measure while on the island. What I…read moreexperienced was exciting. They have scents that I've never heard of and all their scents are accurate. By accurate I mean smells like the label minus cheap perfume additives. They also had lotion, soaps, t-shirts. CBD body products and handmade candle holders, the birch tree candle holders were cool. One of their scents was something like orange chili taco. Resulting in my immediate demand for tacos. Honestly, it sounded nasty but smelled excitingly accurate and fun! Lover and I had those geeky giant surprise smiles after sniffing the one that makes you crave tacos! I bought the Oakmoss &Amber and Tomato Leaf. The Tomato Leaf smells like the memory of a fresh garden and off the Vine tomatoes. My house will smell like a dirty garden and I can't wait. These folks make candles and live on the island year round. Support these tough islanders. They will ship, so check out their online shop and have a little scenty adventure!

My 95 year old mother always loved shopping at the Cranberry Gift Shop in Boulder Junction. After…read moresuffering with atrial fibrillation through July and August and having her heart shocked twice, she was finally feeling well enough to accompany us to the north woods of Wisconsin and once again visit the Cranberry Gift Shop. While she was shopping, her walker happened to knock over a metal bucket holding some silk flowers. Immediately, the sales clerk came running. She looked at my mother's walker and wanted her to tie up 2 of the cords on her walker to prevent further mishaps, which we did. She then proceeded to stand nearby to watch our every move throughout our stay. My mother then sat down on her walker so the woman wouldn't think she would cause any more problems or steal anything. Needless to say, my mother's first outing was devastating for her and made her want to go home. When she walked into the Moondeer and Friends Art Gallery nearby, the woman greeted her with a smile, welcomed her and asked if she could be of help in any way. It's amazing how a smile and caring about a customer can make you feel welcome and take that feeling of shame away! As a result of the clerk at the Cranberry Gift Shop, she and I will no longer be shopping there and advise any other handicapped person to do the same!!!

This little cozy shop 'up north' has a few things that Ocean Spray does not…read more It is all things cranberry; and then some. Picture this: you walk in. Wall to wall things, wood carvings, Tiffany lanterns with illustrations of the north and its creatures (especially loons), cards, candles, and books. Go further: you find a little nook with gourmet pastas, rice, veggie toss-ins, as well as cheese samplers that would make a true 'cheese head' happy. As you might also expect, there is an ample supply of real cranberry glass; the type my Mom and her Mom even collected. There are also some neat toys and "adoptables" for kids that are very sweet and certain to make them happy and occupied for hours. The salespeople are pleasant, and I especially liked not being grabbed the moment I walked in. There is so much to check out that they wisely stand by til you come forward. Prices (for some of the things are up there) but are mostly doable. My special pic was a one of a kind, miniature Tiffany style lamp (the glass done by a local artist). Very cool colors. Love it. One warning: expect to smell cranberries, see cranberries, and leave smelling like a cranberry after your visit.

Probably cover a few others, but those are definitely going to find something they like here. I'd say the taste overall skewed a little more cutesy than my own personal taste but I still found things I liked and would buy. And if I needed to buy someone a small gift for some reason, I'd definitely have this place on my list as places to look for that. Definitely worth your time to stop in and have a look around here.
