Wish you could raid the closet of every wealthy person in Pierce County? Then come here. Keep in…read moremind this is a thrift store but the pieces they offer are clean, sorted, and well organized. You'll find no nasty muggy smell in here. Rich women (and men) come from around the area to drop off their Ralph Lauren, Gucci, etc. I've had some SERIOUS finds here... including a 100% authentic Louis Vuitton purse. Of course it was priced accordingly :-) Keep in mind prices a bit higher than Goodwill as this is a business that raises funds for the Junior League of Tacoma. You should patron this business. Not only to find fabulous gems but to help support a good cause, too!

Like a mini-Etsy on Bainbridge Island!…read more I was showing some out-of-town guests around because they wanted to ride the ferry, and expected to see the usual assortment of overpriced and cutesy gift shoppes. Indie Banditas is tucked away from the street, but it's worth hunting down. The shop is small, but crammed full of jewelry, bags, beauty products, handmade art, and other trinkets. And, impressively, everything is handcrafted by locals, so you're not just taking home any old souvenir. Everything is pretty affordable, and there are plenty of small treasures for under $10 - I got a solid lemongrass-ginger perfume and a lavender-vanilla lip balm for $3 each. The owner is super-friendly and chatty and loves to talk about her wares and the store. Customers are encouraged to sign the cement floor with a Sharpie marker, and many people already have. If you're on Bainbridge for the day, this is a must-see little boutique that will impress even your fanciest big-city visitors.

Went in to buy a camera they had listed on Craigslist for $90. Price on the camera was $160. The…read moreguy behind the counter made a phone call asking "did you list that camera for $90? Oh, OK. Love you." then did something on the computer. I did a quick check in my phone, he had just deleted the listing. Rather than come back and explain and apologize for the error, which I would understand they can't sell it for $70 cheaper, he comes back with an attitude. I had asked about putting some fresh batteries in it so I could test it, he just says in a surly tone, "No." I said, "So this is how you are telling me that it isn't for sale for $90?" He said, in a snotty voice, "I wouldn't sell it to you for $5." That's not even the correct expression. And why is he taking it out on me? His wife is the one who listed it wrong. Just apologize for the error, and we'll move on.

A cutest, funkiest thrift/vintage store!…read more Ropa is a local Latina owned small business that has one of the coolest selections around. They're size inclusive and are also home to tons of awesome accessories (think cutie bags, sunnies, and jewelry!). Their space also spotlights a lot of local makers and artists. There are a few designated "rooms" or racks that feature each of the unique collections. So much fun!

Tucked into a cozy spot in Gig Harbor, Maritime Jewelers is a true family-run gem. Eric and his son…read moreown and operate this little shop alongside other nearby boutique businesses, and every time I visit the staff members are always accommodating knowledgeable, with zero-pressure...exactly what you want when you're browsing something as personal as jewelry. Their selection is impressive for the size of the store: rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, and more. If what you're picturing isn't on the shelf, they'll sketch it, source the stones, and craft it right there. I asked for a custom Viking-inspired piece to honor my Norwegian roots--think bold silver, knotwork, and a Thor hammer pendant. Eric and the team nailed every detail, and the finished necklace feels like it sailed straight out of a saga. Quality is top-tier, prices are fair, and the whole experience is relaxed and fun. Worth the drive from anywhere in the Puget Sound area. If you leave without something that sends you to Valhalla (in the best possible way), you're doing it wrong. Highly recommend Eric and his crew!

I found this business by mistake when I stopped into a restaurant in Gig Harbor. What a treasure…read moretrove! Erick and Ruth are wonderful and they are honest in a business where that is truly hard to find. I bought my first piece from them in October and fast forward to January - I have purchased a beautiful estate ring for my 25th wedding anniversary and as it turns out, it is worth double the amount I paid for it according to an independent appraiser. They have worked on some antique time pieces that belonged to my great grandfather and for the first time in 70 years, it is keeping perfect time! Stop by and say HI to them if you are in the market for a gift or goodie for yourself! You wont be sorry!!

The only other person in the store was a guy trying to sell her some junk...but that was apparently more important than taking my money. The place is filthy, and numerous items I was interested in weren't even priced. I was not greeted or acknowledged when I entered, and was not offered assistance throughout my visit. There was a teenager SLEEPING behind the register. The owner texted my receipt WITH MY VISA INFO to a stranger, who was kind enough to reach out to me to let me know. Sure wish I had just walked out instead of standing around for half an hour to waste $70 there. Never going back, and DO NOT recommend!!!
