Huck and Paddle completely breaks the mold. The whole shop is curated (and I use that word intentionally) from a very unique perspective. It is filled with interesting objects, large and small. Inevitably, one of these objects will strike your fancy and demand to be taken with you when you leave town. The owner is delightful, and is committed to her aesthetic. We got to discussing some items I thought would make sense in her store, and she immediately got online to see what I was talking about. Oh, and she has something for everyone. Me, Mama Q and Not-So-Little Q all found things we wanted to bring back to SF. I hope Huck and Paddle survives, I'd like to visit her shop again next year!

We love coming here each year & will return again next winter to see what is new. My husband loves the candles, some of which are made in house. I love the jewelry but wish some of the necklaces came in larger sizes for my neck. Gorgeous paddles too, if only we had a use for those.

I am currently in Sun Valley on business working with a family I have visited here with before…read more This is my second time visiting Maison et Cadeaux in the past two years. My first experience was pleasant and welcoming, which is why what happened today was so shocking and disappointing. I am a woman of color, and although Sun Valley is a predominantly white community, I have felt incredibly safe and welcomed by the people here. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my experience today with the owner of this boutique, Marcelle West. I had been browsing the store for approximately 10 minutes while on the phone with my daughter, who loves Jellycats. I found two that I had not seen back home, took two photos to send to her, and continued looking around the store. I was also browsing other items and considering purchasing something for my newborn nephew. While I was standing nearby reading a text message, I overheard Marcelle speaking loudly to the employee at the register about me. She said, loudly enough for me to clearly hear, that she did not understand why I was still in the store because I had been walking around for 10 minutes without buying anything. She also commented that I was taking pictures of merchandise and questioned why I was there if I was not going to purchase something. I was honestly stunned. During the entire time I had been browsing, Marcelle had not once approached me to ask if I needed assistance. Instead, I was watched and then discussed negatively in front of me. When she finally approached and asked if I needed help, I told her that what she had just done was extremely rude and made me feel unwelcome. I explained that I had simply taken two pictures of Jellycats to send to my daughter and even offered to show her the photos on my phone. She threw her hands up and told me she did not care. She then continued defending her behavior by saying customers should not be taking pictures of merchandise because people sometimes find items online for a cheaper price. Whether or not that has happened to her before had absolutely nothing to do with me or how I deserved to be treated as a customer. The conversation escalated to the point where she told me, "Whatever, you can just leave." I told her God bless her and that what she had done was wrong, and I left. What stood out to me even more was the kindness of the younger woman working at the register. She apologized to me for the way I had been treated and tried to explain what may have caused Marcelle's reaction. I genuinely appreciated her compassion because she clearly recognized how uncomfortable and inappropriate the interaction had become. A short time later, Marcelle and another lady (not the employee) stood near the window looking at me and then walked past me leaving the store without Marcelle saying a word or offering any apology. I later went back inside only to ask the employee for the owner's name because I wanted to make sure I documented my experience accurately. I left this store feeling profiled, humiliated, and unwelcome. Being a woman of color, I do not make that statement lightly. I can only speak to my personal experience, but being watched while browsing, having the owner openly question why I was in her store because I had not made a purchase within 10 minutes, and then being told to leave after I addressed how disrespectful the comments were made me feel that I was being judged before I had done anything wrong. Customers should be able to browse a boutique, compare prices, send a picture to a family member, or simply decide not to purchase anything without being made to feel that they do not belong. No one should have to prove that they can afford something or justify why they are browsing a store in order to be treated with basic dignity and respect. My experience with Maison et Cadeaux today was deeply disappointing, and unfortunately, I will never shop here again. The TWO jelly cats I sent my child!

I went to 90% of the stores in Ketchum today and Elle Rose wins the prize!…read more Elle Rose is actually made up of 2 super trendy stores just right next to each other. One carries super expensive designer clothes- Prada, Dolce & Gabana, etc. The Elle Rose next door is more in my price range and carries all of my favorite designers- Theory, Tahari, Nanette Lepore. I could have dropped lots of cash in this store today because they had some really adorable clothes, jewelry, purses, belts, etc. However, then I remembered my New Years Resolution to save more money and spent my time browsing and talking with the super friendly sales associates instead. Come to think of it...it's still 2006 so I may have to go back for more shopping before the new year.

Every time I walk in, I'm blown away by the incredible selection, they truly have something for every occasion and every kind of recipient.

Their card selection is unmatched with an enormous array of boxed cards alongside individually chosen one-off cards for virtually any occasion you can think of. Their ability to quickly personalize stationery in the store is truly awesome. Also notable is the ease in which Kristy and her team guide you thru large specialized invitation and announcement orders. It's clear that every item in the store has been carefully selected, making shopping there feel easy and inspiring. Willow Papery has become my go-to spot for gifts and cards.

There were a few cute things for my son, but nothing worth the price tag. The woman who works here barely looked up to say hello or ask if she could help. Save your $ and head to Tator Tots for the kiddos instead.

Years ago they were selling hoodies that said Sun Valley on them, which i thought was pretty cool, but I didn't notice that on this particular visit.

I also noticed they sold long underwear in the store, which i didn't think Lulu made....will be keeping that in mind for the next ski season. The staff was also super helpful. They were willing to help, but not overly pushy which is always appreciated. I always end up doing a little shopping while in Ketchum and will continue to stop in here when in town!
