They have glass candle holders, glasses, glass decor, glass Christmas ornaments, tons of glass type items. They are reasonably priced, considering that they are made in house by their artisans.

I also bought this beautiful Asian style looking blue vase which goes great with the rest of the decor in my living room! Gathered Glassblowing Studio also provides classes in glassblowing, alas I did not have time to do that. Still, that is pretty cool!

They have books, jewelry, home decor and other items which I will state would make great gifts for yourself or loved ones. The most beautiful items are in the back. They have a large selection of glass artwork and items for sale. The problem with the gift shop, it is extremely pricey! I expect some of the glass items to be expensive, but I could find no inexpensive items anywhere in the store! Moreover, I have shopped in a glass studio in Toledo that had much more reasonable prices for their glass items. I understand I am sure these sales benefit the museum and I do not begrudge them that, but have some things on the cheaper end as well.
