I recently visited Madison, but didn't have time to visit the Monona Terrace Gift Shop to buy the…read morebirthday present I had planned to get. Instead, I ended up ordering online and had the present mailed directly to my friend. At checkout, there was a box where I was able to enter a message, and all I wrote there was "Happy Birthday!". I expected that message to appear somewhere on the shipping label (as I've seen other places do), but no. What arrived inside the shipping box was another beautifully wrapped box with a bow and a hand-addressed little Frank Lloyd Wright note card. Totally unexpected, and terrific!

A great place for cards and other thoughtful gifts.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. They had some really cool balloon displays throughout the store and have plans for more in-store options and ways to help you have them at your own party. Let's make this shop so successful that they open a Milwaukee location! ;) In the meantime, I can order from their website.

I love Orange Tree Imports. This is a really unique place in many aspects. First, they carry a very…read morediverse range of items ranging from kitchen electronics, cutlery, utensils, tea sets, exotic foods, bake ware, creams and moisturizers, shower gels, home decos and toys and gifts for kids. The items they carry works great and are practical to have around the house. I especially like their Japan import section where they bring in cool teapots, sake sets, handmade bowls etc straight from Japan. It helps that they have a different way in which they run the store. Each group member is assigned a specific section of the store in which they come up with the types of items to carry, how items are displayed and the associated logistics. In that way they can better cater to the needs of the customers and really know what they are looking for. Because of this, if there is something you would like, feel free to let the section manager know and there is a great chance he or she can order it in the next time an order is placed, especially if the item has the potential to be popular. In addition, they offer great cooking classes here. This is the best part. I look forward to ending work on class days and then heading over to Orange Tree Imports to learn to cook. So far I have tried sandwich bread, miniature sweet treats and truffle making classes. In all of the classes I walked away knowing how something seemingly so difficult and impossible is made easy by the instructor. And I thought: This is something that I can totally do at home! As you can see I am in love with Orange Tree Imports. As long as you stop by for a visit it is almost impossible not to fall in love with one or more of their stuff.
