I dropped in because of the Devil's Club Salve that the tour guide on our Rain Forest hike kept…read moreraving about. I sampled the salve on my hand on the way into the store and it made my hands look 10 years younger because it moisturized the wrinkles away - no exaggeration! It also wasn't overly greasy because I didn't leave a trail while shopping. It's true, that I could find something similar in many gift shops and on the ship - though I am skeptical that it was the same formula, nor did they have the discount if I bought 3 - like was offered in the store or online. When I took it home for my daughter to try on her eczema, it not only helped relieve the initial dry and cracking, but it's actually making the breakouts go away. Other things I've tried only relieved the symptoms but wouldn't keep it from spreading. I not only got the lotions, but I got a beautiful pewter bowl, and some really cute sea shell rings for myself, I got a great variety of gifts for everyone I needed to shop for! A great one-stop shop for tourists or locals!

So much of what I look for in a store revolves around the level of customer service, and Mountain…read moreMiss is no exception. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I genuinely found everything I needed at the store. I ended up picking up a couple of pairs of jeans and a pair of Keens, and was grateful they had a variety of sizes and styles to choose from in both. I wouldn't hesitate to shop at this store again and would highly recommend it for others to pick up a few clothing essentials while in Sitka.

Unfortunately my wife thought they had another store at Ketchikan which they did not. She's kicking herself yet I'm smiling happily inside bc of my money wallet! Aw joking... They do have helpful customer service as wifey expressed. We don't remember if they did in Hoonah just bc our goal there was not shopping! My bad. Oops! I got to relax outside this Brenner store drinking my coffee so wifey can take her time shopping. I was in my own heaven nonetheless! LOLOLOL Too bad we might have to travel to Alaska again in the future just to fulfill my wifey's shopping needs! I just have to remind her Sitka & Hoonah(icy strait point) ONLY!!! Now Go Shopping to your heart's delight as they have more than just fine clothing like nice gifts for friends & family. . I think wifey was not supposed to take pictures here. What? Oopsie.

My only gripe about this business is the price which seems quite high and clearly is going after the visiting tourists. I am not an expert on price when it comes to this type of work but I clearly recognize beauty and craftsmanship when I see it and the merchandise they sell at this business oozes it! This is a must visit if you are a collector of fine Christmas ornamates and if you can afford it you will find yourself in Nirvana (:

They had the necklace clasp repaired in 2 days, but said they could not repair the bracelet clasp because of the material it was made out of.

I strongly suggest going here if you are looking for friendly people who are extremely willing to help!

I took an illegal picture here. Don't arrest me!…read more Random House carries the best collection of non-traditional nesting dolls that I saw in Alaska. It's worth a visit just to see sets like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Harry Potter, and the American presidents. Because everyone wants to take a picture and not actually buy the nesting dolls, the purveyors have had to put up a sign saying, "No photographs!" Thankfully I didn't notice the sign before I snapped away. They also had a nice supply of Russian Christmas ornaments and I bought one. Pay no attention to the Yelp map which maps Random House by its P.O. number, Random House is located on Lincoln St. along with all the other tourist shops.

Regrets - I need to decide whether to keep them or give 'em to the niece...sheesh, should've bought two!
