We stopped by this place today while in town, it has a lot of nice gifts and souvenirs. I ended up…read morebuying a Michigan car sticker (with a UM logo on it!) on clearance for $2, a Petoskey stone for $7.99 (a polished stone), and a nice greeting card for $5. 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.

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.

Decent gift shop with some unique giftware and home decor…read more I assume this shop is somehow connected to the Grandpa Shorter's gift shop down the street, just based on the name. I stopped in on vacation, mostly because the window display seemed kind of fun and interesting and the signage indicated they sold antiques. Well, I didn't see any antiques (total bummer), but I did spy some cute decorative home accents, crafting items, gift ware and seasonal stuff. Apart from that, the shop stocked a lot of "boutique" baby gear, too, including clothing, toys, accessories for the new mom, and stuffed animals. Admittedly, much of the baby gear was quite cute, but way overpriced considering it's for infants and they're only going to wear most of those clothes once or twice. I wasn't super impressed by the level of service, which seemed non-existent. Some items weren't clearly-priced, which I found a bit annoying. Other items just seemed highly marked up. While a lot of it was nice, I just didn't think it was that nice, you understand? More or less, I'd say I wasn't bowled over. They did have some lovely Petoskey Stone jewelry and similar trinkets along that line as well, however, but then every gift shop downtown has those. For a small boutique, it was crammed with merchandise, maybe a bit too much so. It was hard to really scope out anything very well when everything was a bit too crowded. I kept thinking I was going to knock over a tightly-placed display or something. On the other hand, what they did sell seemed to be an eclectic mix, coupled with some very cute things. Unfortunately, everything that I was interested in didn't seem to be clearly priced. What gives? The person behind the counter seemed too busy and was engaged in conversation, so I didn't bother to stick around any longer to find out what I wanted. I felt like I was interrupting the employee who was ensconced in a deep conversation with a friend. For me, bad service is a turnoff, so I walked out. If I'm up that way again, and I definitely plan to be, I'll probably give this tiny boutique a second look because it did seem promising, but if there's no real improvement on the service front, I'll just walk out empty-handed for the second time.

But he was HUGE and I just could not do it. He thought maybe I would buy it for my birthday, but to buy a 2 foot yard friend that could potentially get stolen just makes me a little nervous. However, the moment you drive into the space, with ample parking, you just get sucked into the charm of the space. They have so many different vibes that you could want. Every room has a different feel of pottery, jewelry, glasswork, outdoor things, ornaments, kitchenware, etc... you name it - they problem have it!
