I asked her about were there any snapback hats, she responded NO very stern and far from welcoming. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I went down the street and bought all my souvenirs from a different shop.

Find metered parking nearby and able to park for free beginning at 5 PM. My Tito and I spent a long time in the shop checking quality, stitching, colors, slogans just to ensure our loved ones will be enthusiastic about their gifts. Female employee offered to find and grab a different size for two T-shirt designs at the nearby sister or sibling store. If I felt that the merchandise didn't scream, "Please buy me!" She was perfectly okay with my decision not to buy and I could place the shirt in the designated area. Talk about outstanding customer service that exceeded our expectations! Ideal, cost savings, more shirts you buy, with flexibility to mix and match from sections with same prices. My family members love their shirts!

Few reviews are probably tougher than one for a gift shop in a town you've lived in for 10+ years…read more I came here with my Mom so she could buy postcards and other goodies for her grandkids. They have a decent mix of the two things you are apt to find in downtown Anchorage gift shops: 1) Wildly underpriced goods (magnets, t-shirts, bookmarks, wall art, etc.) made in China. 2) Very spendy items (soaps, salves, syrups, carvings, etc.) made in Alaska by Alaskans. This is my Mom's favorite downtown gift shop. The clothing and stuffed animal sections here are particularly massive. Though you aren't going to find any technical/pragmatic/outdoor clothing, this is all chiefly gear to let folks in the lower 48 know that you've been to Alaska. If you're a local, the advantage of going here is to see all the various Alaska-made goods in one place, so you can go patronize those individuals and companies directly.

Grunting, and pointing without smiles. I found some boxed chocolates on my own. And although the venue was large, I didn't feel comfortable surfing products in such and unfriendly atmosphere. I did see some Alaska cards in a rack...., I saw the price and thought holy s#it....i can't afford this place.... So I just got the chocolates and left. Are the chocolates good? I have no idea they were gift.

Tourists, if you're looking for a unique, handmade Alaskan gift, this place should be your first stop. I'm pretty sure 100% of their items are made in Alaska, by local Alaskan artists, artisans and crafters. Admittedly they don't have Native Alaskan Crafts, but they are very heavy on Alaskan themed art. Items range from under 10 dollars to several thousand and there's nothing pretentious about this gallery. It's all acessible and gorgeous. Items run the gamut: stationary, jewelry, glass, sculpture, paintings, textiles, home decor, photography, clothing, beauty products... so many things I can't name them all. Alaskan themes are abundant, birch, halibit, salmon, Denali, Anchorage, snow, mountains, moose, ect. If you wanna buy me something I'll love, start here. It's a shame it's so far down 4th Avenue next to the dusty old abandoned 4th Ave Theater, because a lot of people miss this place because of its location. Seek it out, you won't regret it.
