I totally heart this place! Very homey, welcoming attitude and really neat things at ridiculously low prices. I saw a beautiful raku(?) vase and figured it would be way out of my price range, but I couldn't resist carefully lifting it to have a look. It was under $50! I seriously was expecting the sticker to say something like $350, it was THAT gorgeous. They always have special pottery pieces here, and they have some fantastic jewelry. All right alongside a plastic sushi that will crawl across the table when you wind it up, tie-dyed infant onesies, and... chocolate-covered sesame seeds? Weird and great mix of stuff, and the people who work there will tell you the story behind each and every thing they have...who made it, where it came from, etc. Seems like they carry lots of things from emerging artists, which is something I love to support. I get how it got its name... it's impossible to leave there not feeling happy! read more

What an adorable store, with so many beautiful things to admire! We stumbled in here on a Saturday night when almost everything else on this street was closed (around 9:20 pm). We were so excited to find a store that was open and had such interesting items for sale. Tons of local art including pottery, paintings, jewelry, children's clothes, toys, art for your garden, etc. They have something for anyone in this store. I ended up finding and purchasing two small bags of seeds, in which a local woman had spent time gardening and developing unique versions of plants and then collected the seeds to sell. What?! So cool! Not only does the store have the most unique and beautiful items, the woman who owns the store could not be more friendly and sweet! If you're in the area, make sure to stop by this shop! read more

I used to come here to buy myself birthday presents! although I seem to remember them having a location in amherst? either way - great natural stones and jewelry, really nice and helpful service and very reasonable prices. if I ever make a trip back west I will definitely be stopping over here! read more

The cruel, snobbish owner of this place routinely calls the calls the cops on homeless people simply for sitting (quietly, politely) on a PUBLIC bench near her shop. And the place is incredibly overpriced. Don't give your money to this place, there are plenty of superior competitors just around the corner. read more

I walk into a lot of shops when I am out and about. I often find great pieces but tend to look at the price and gag a bit. Happy valley has some neat trinkets and decorative pieces that don't break the bank. The best part is that they have a really great and affordable selection of fairly traded artwork ranging from bowls to trivets to little knick nacks from all over. They make for unique gifts for anyone really. My mother and I found a hand carved jewlery chest made by a local artist, and it was only $30. The ladies here are also really, really nice. Every time I am in Noho I am going to stop in and treat myself to something nice from here. read more

This store is so fun to go into! They have a gift for everyone. Stock includes: jewelry, nicknacks, pottery, dish-ware, crystals, geodes...you name it, they have it! Great place when looking for a gift... read more

Great products at surprisingly low prices. Jewelry, home decor, sassy gifts, and there's even a small toy section. Eclectic items, often handmade. I got this beautiful handmade iguana knick-knack. It was made in Thailand and the proceeds went to charity...and it was only a mere ten buckeroos!! read more

this is a very sweet store with lots of unique gifts that you'd be glad to give or receive. a friend bought me gorgeous earrings here twice before i went in myself. (maybe the window display or sign doesn't do the store full justice?) anyway, both the staff and the owner are very friendly and pleasant, you feel welcome there and the vibe is good. read more

love their jewelry especially, nice silver jewelry and stones...they have great ceramics, wood items, etc...has the feel of a museum shop.

I think the prices are outrageous. I didn't like the way my complaint was handeled. The price was 40.00 more here than other stores, unfortunately, I had already bought from here. When I wanted to return, They wanted to charge an extra 20 percent stocking fee and shipping and handeling and no refund on shipping prior. I am disgusted with this place. read more

I spent one summer in Northampton and visited downtown about four times a week. Each time I went, I would visit Happy Valley because, although the store appears small, I would always find something new that I haven't seen. I fell in love with nearly everything in there. Nancy, the owner, is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met; she allowed my friend and I to stay in the store for an endless amount of time to simply play with the different trinkets we discovered. I bought a beautiful singing bowl from Tibet for $40 for my dad, eight animal ribbon bookmarks at $1 each as small souvenirs for friends, and other items. You will come across multicultural finds, baby items, and handmade delights. Happy Valley doesn't always carry the same things, one week you might find worry dolls and the next you'll find dyed silk scarves. It is ultimately one of my favourite stores, ever. Please take the time to look at everything the next time your there! It's the perfect stop for unique, budget-friendly gifts! And I promise you that you will leave happy. read more
