They have them by themselves and incorporated into other artistic expressions. I really enjoyed browsing and shopping here. The person who helped us was really friendly. The prices were a little high but worth it in my opinion. This downtown area has come a long way since growing up here as a child. I hope that people will support places like this so that it continues to be one of the more unique downtown's in the up north. Be sure to check this place out.

A Heartwarming Stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop (I believe called Peninsulas now) - A Must-Visit…read moreon the Tunnel of Trees While riding the Tunnel of Trees on a Great Lakes motorcycle trip with a couple of friends, we made a planned stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop to grab a patch and a T-shirt to remember the ride. It was about 9:45 AM when we pulled up--only to find out they didn't open until 11. We were on a tight schedule and couldn't wait around. Just as we were about to leave, the owner came out the back door walking her dog, Chester. She greeted us warmly and explained they weren't open yet, but asked if we'd be in the area later. When we told her we wouldn't be able to return, she did something truly generous--she opened the shop early just for us. This also meant changing Chester's morning routine, where he usually walks to the post office to "get his mail"--which we learned is code for a treat from the mailman. Still, she welcomed us in, let us browse, and made sure we left with what we came for. It was such a simple act of kindness, but it stuck with us. The Cross Village Gift Shop isn't just a place to grab souvenirs--it's a place full of character, warmth, and heart. If you're anywhere near Cross Village or riding the Tunnel of Trees, make it a point to stop by. Support this small business. Meet Chester. You won't forget the experience.

Had the absolute pleasure to visit Peninsulas nestled in charming Cross Village, and I have to say:…read moreit was truly such a great retail experience that I would go out of my way just to visit again. The merchandise is not the usual stuff you find in the local souvenir shops, but curated with local/regional delights from many local businesses and artisans. You will find something amazing to commemorate a trip Up North. Outstanding service is the next thing that really stood out to me during my two visits to the shop. The shopkeepers are kind and inviting, and are the very definition of "Midwest nice." I could've spent an hour chatting with the saleswoman or the gentleman (who was either the owner or related to the owner). The whole shopping experience was so wonderful, I just had to write a review. If you're ever in the area or nearby, Peninsulas should be a destination.

Very lovely shop. This was the first store we ended up stopping at in downtown Petoskey today…read more A few of their coasters and artwork is from City Bird in Detroit too, which was funny - I have been there before (and that's a nice shop as well). I bought a corgi pin for $2 here (I love corgis) and wanted some of the prints/artwork too, but they were a bit pricey. They also have earrings/jewelry and a nice selection of Petoskey and non-Petoskey related gifts. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars and not 5/5 is because they obviously have a bathroom, and it says OUT OF ORDER, but my guess is that it's not (where else would the employees go?) and perhaps that's COVID-related ... which is fine, but maybe just put EMPLOYEES ONLY instead. We went next door to Grandpa Shorter's and the employee there recommended the public bathrooms to us, so we took a bit of a hike down the street to the lake instead (pro tip: next time just go next door to the bookstore, they have one in the basement!). So yeah, I was a bit disappointed by that ... I could be totally wrong on this speculation but I've seen other businesses do that too. Other than that, very nice shop and they have super cute stuff, so I'd return next time I'm in Petoskey.

They have all sorts of Petoskey and non-Petoskey related gifts, plus other fun stuff - I also saw a corgi float, for example, and other things. I saw they have some sort of rewards program too where you write your name down on a card and grab the card from the front every time you come in, I think - kind of like a filing system. Interesting and unique. They ALSO have a pressed penny machine here, and I collect pressed pennies, so I was excited about that too.

Lots of little luxuries around the store: cute…read moretoys and baby items, locally made lotions and oils, Mackinac t-shirts, fun stationery, Michigan wines and other things you probably don't need but you certainly want. One cool thing is that they have a shelf full of canned beer loosies that you can pick and choose to make your own six-pack. A lot of the beers are local to Michigan or the Midwest, which is neat. I love that this store focuses on local things, even with their beverages. There aren't too many stores on Main Street where you can get a bottle of wine or beers to go, but this is one place. When I visited, beer and wine was 25% off! Yay for discount alcohol. Little Luxuries would be a great place to stop in and find a souvenir to take home. They have so many Mackinac Island-related things in the store, so you're bound to find a nice little tchotchke or memento to bring home to remember your time on the island.
