Business owners yelling "kill them all" to local Anchorage residents during an event downtown in…read moreFeb 2025. Unprofessional and full of hate. As someone born and raised in this city I would never support this business. You can find local crafts by Alaskan artists nearly EVERYWHERE downtown - the 5th ave mall, Kobuk Coffee, or for Fur Rondy specifics the Fur Rondy store has all the same pins and better selection. Sans the lack of ethics behind this business, I would not shop here due to the lack of value and mark up of local items you can find at other places for less. To support Alaskan artists during Fur Rondy, check out the craft bizarre and market at Dimond Center that starts during the last week in Feb. Support local businesses that actually support local artists and their communities equitably (aka do NOT shop at Sara's!)

Sara's supports the mushers who start the Fur Rondy and Iditarod downtown. Large, too large in fact, selection of bagallini bags. All in all, I'd visit again off season to find gifts for Outside family.

Although a…read moredifferent store, I frequent Picture This when my husband is next door getting his hair cut at Hilda's. Great gift ideas and trinkets for the house. I love the different themes they set up around the shop, several of which work with the decor in our home. Although I don't care for it in the slightest, they do carry a large selection of Vera Bradley bags. They have lovely scarves and jewelry, candles, socks and trinkets along with a small area with children in mind. If you're in need of a lovely gift for someone or looking for a little something for yourself, Picture This is a great place to check out.

5 Stars AK&Co Gourmet Market…read more AK&Co Gourmet Market at the airport is an absolute gem the kind of place you wander into thinking you'll just browse, and suddenly you're walking out feeling like you've discovered Alaska's hidden treasure chest. Their gift shop game is elite: clean, organized, full of unique local goodies, and stocked with the kind of stuff you actually want to give as gifts instead of the usual airport knick-knacks. From the moment you step in, it feels like a little slice of Alaska's charm wrapped up in one perfectly curated shop. And let's talk about that Alaskan salami with reindeer meat pure, undefeated, top-tier greatness. I'm telling you, it's the kind of snack that makes you forget you're in an airport and instead makes you feel like you're on a culinary expedition through the Last Frontier. Flavorful, rich, and honestly one of the best things you can grab before a flight. Big credit to AK&Co for keeping quality alive and making the airport experience something you actually look forward to.

Sadly, much of the trinkets say designed in the USA but are manufactured in China or Korea. Very few I found (other than the local foods) were made in the USA. Nice shop though with lots of unique gifts!

This charming mom-and-pop toy store has just about everything a kid could want, and the staff is incredibly helpful, guiding you through the store. It's a fun treat for a family day, letting kids pick out something special. My daughter chose a super soft stuffed toy, and their collection was impressive. Hands down, the best toy store in Alaska!

Classic Toys is the perfect name for this shop.

Prices are a bit steeper than you'd find at an every day market or department store, but everything you'll find at Classic Toys is of excellent quality and will last for a long time - well worth the price. If you're looking for a toy you had years ago and haven't been able to find again, try Classic Toys! If you're looking for a quality toy or game for any age, this is the spot.

It smells incredibly inviting and sweet I tried to put my nose on which scent I was picking up in hopes it was one priced for sale somewhere. The style inside is ever changing, and expertly fixed with care and an eye for arrangement. I will say, this store is by no means cheap. Much of what's inside is made locally in Alaska by artisans and artists, though there are some cute items that upon careful inspection are made in Indonesia so it feels bleh to buy marked up with artisan prices. This would be a great choice for visitors to our state looking for the perfect souvenir that isn't mass produced overseas.

Seeing various games made me purchase all kinds I would have not other wise. I was looking for a specific game and the staff was knowledgeable and knew exactly where it was. My only side note to make it better is to have a experiment table we're kids or adults can try out various puzzles or games and also find a way to get most of the theory 11 playing cards sets .
