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.

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.

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.

Now saying knick knacks I don't mean cheap crap. I mean extremely high quality pieces of free standing art! However such high quality mean $$$. There was an awesome hanging dragon on a swing that was only maybe 8" tall and it was $75, lol that about 50 over my budget. They had an amazing bench made of concrete, but looked like wood, for $2,000. Plus an super detailed metal bird bath for almost $800. Is the art worth it, of course that's in the eye of the beholder, I think it is. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? You betcha! Especially if I made a much better wage. Once again it is an outstanding collection art.
