Everything from charming décor to unique, magical little treasures. Some items are definitely on the pricier side, but many are totally justifiable for the quality and craftsmanship. My wife picked up two gemstone crystal necklaces that she absolutely loves, and they even gifted her a free little snowman plush/decoration, which was super sweet. The outdoor displays are beautiful as well and really add to the whole enchanted vibe. Absolutely love the vibes here! Highly recommend stopping in if you're exploring the River Place Shops!

We stopped by yesterday when in the River Place Shops, although nothing piqued our interest. I last shopped here in May 2021 with some friends. Worth stopping by if you are looking for a gift or something unique though. Lots of fairy-related items too and things like that.

I discovered this shop about a month ago and have visited three times since, making purchases on…read moreeach visit. I always bring my girlfriend with me when I come in. However, I've noticed a consistent pattern that's made me increasingly uncomfortable. Each time we're in the store, the staff behaves as if we're being watched closely--asking if we want items held at the counter or having an employee follow us under the pretense of folding shirts while we browse. I've spent over $100 here so far and don't appreciate being treated with suspicion. Having worked in retail myself, I'm familiar with the signs of someone being monitored because they're assumed to be stealing, and that's how it feels every time I shop here. I really like the shop's selection--especially the Jellycats--but there are other local stores that carry similar products. I'm willing to give the shop one more chance, but if I experience this same treatment again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Holy cow! I've driven passed this place for years, & every time thought, "I really need to stop in…read moresome day." Well, yesterday was the day & it wasn't at all what I expected. From the road you can see a large selection of cement statuary, which was a lot of fun to stroll around. Kids would LOVE it here. And sizes, themes & prices to satisfy everyone (they must have more than a dozen choices in frog statues alone). Their nursery stock looked well cared for, & the friendly staff told me to come back in the spring for annuals. But the real wonder starts when you step inside their building. It's a gigantic - gigantic! - gift shop with items for every holiday & interest. I don't think my mouth closed the entire time I was there. Easy location, friendly staff & just plain fun stuff to look at. Do yourself a favor & stop in sometime soon!

Prices are really reasonable for a souvenir shop and we saw plenty of hot sauces that were familiar but plenty of new ones as well. My only request - hot sauce samples! I would have loved to buy some new ones, but I prefer to try them first. I appreciate the popcorn samples - we bought some Oreo popcorn after trying it.

Some of our favourite stores we visited this trip were Sticky Situations, Enchanted Forest, Zac & Mac's Chocolate Haus, and Cherry Republic, all packed with personality and great finds.

This old-world German town is home to the world's largest Christmas store, a Christmas wonderland…read morethat feels like a glimpse of the North Pole, no matter the season. I loved how every aisle tells a different story -- sport-themed, college-themed, color-themed, Santa suits, personalized ornaments, beautifully detailed nativity scenes, and unique keepsakes you won't find anywhere else. It instantly makes you slow down and smile. You name it, they have it. Every section feels thoughtfully curated. It's not just shopping; it's an experience, you find yourself wandering, looking up, and taking it all in. That said, a few things to keep in mind: the store is huge and can feel overwhelming, it's almost always crowded, and with so many amazing options, it's easy to overspend. Some sections can feel repetitive, and the nonstop Christmas theme might be a bit much if you're not a big holiday fan. Even with these minor points, Bronner's remains a magical place, bringing out childlike joy and reminding you why the holidays feel so special. Clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi were definitely appreciated.

Super convenient, and the team is always friendly and happy to help. It was tough to choose, but we ended up taking home the Mont Buffalo Wing Cheese, Maple Syrup Cheese, and the Smoked Butter. All amazing. We also grabbed some Wisconsin cheese curds, which were tasty, though we do wish they had that squeaky bite we love. Would've also loved some free samples (or maybe they were there and we just didn't see them!). Highly recommend checking this shop out.

I found all kinds of items from local vendors like tea, jewelry, dog treats, some really cool mystery book dates, pottery, the list goes on.

Every time I go into the store, there are either new items to look at or old items that I overlooked. If you go, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around because it's very easy to lose time once you get in there!
