I purchased a game that toy don't normally find in big box stores and after checking online, saw that it was priced rather fairly. Other reviews have noted the huge markup which is probably true on certain things. Know what something is worth or do a quick search to see if you're willing to pay for it. I didn't have a problem with the staff but others have said she wasn't kid friendly.

This year we stopped in again, and they do still have a pretty cool inventory, but the prices for some of the stuff I wanted was just way too much.

When you enter, there's a friendly vibe and open interior that welcome you in. You likely won't find any bargains which is to be expected for a local business. There are a few couches that are very comfy but not much seating overall. They also have a bathroom for customers. Located near the waterfront, this place has street parking or a municipal lot that isn't too far.

In response to the comment below about Winter/Sun Summer Moon's employee service...I was actually…read morein the store when the commenter below bought her Tano bag. I am sure it was her as, since I shop at Winter Sun often, I know Tano bags are infrequently purchased at the store since they are so rare for this area and expensive. I remember this "artist" was very nice, she had an adorable dog with her that the employees were happy to see. They did not bat an eye that she had a dog in the store, only fawned over him and politely answered all of her questions about the Tano and where it was located in the store. When she told them why she was buying this bag, they congratulated her for her recent accomplishment and were very friendly, as always. If there was any rudeness directed towards her when she asked for tissue paper, I am positive that it was all in her head. I have been going to Winter Sun for years and know that the employee she dealt with is new and a very nice, courteous woman. I was not paying specific attention to them while she checked out, but I have NEVER in all my time in Rhinebeck heard a bad word about this store, its employees and owners. Lila and Steven Pague are some of the nicest, most involved people you will find in Rhinebeck. They contribute to our local community and are lovely people. If someone asked me where they could buy a gift for someone in town, I would point them right in the direction of their shop, Winter Sun/Summer Moon. Their merchandise is unique, colorful and often a sweet trinket from another country - the very last adjective I would use to describe their service is "snobby." I am shocked that anyone would think of giving this store ONE star and especially shocked that I witnessed this commenter's perfectly fine encounter there. Please do not let this one (falsely) rude encounter sway you from checking out this gem in Rhinebeck.

Plus, proprietor Dave is extremely welcoming and is willing to answer questions about the merchandise and to wrap up your presents.

If I need a special, unique gift for a birthday, wedding, or Mother's Day, Tradewinds is the first and last shop I visit. They have numerous handcrafted, exquisite items. I love that they have fair-trade and socially conscious products, and many local items as well. The manager, Tammy, is so helpful and friendly and she provides great advice when I'm looking for a specific gift. Many items are crafted by individuals with disabilities. One of the best things about Tradewinds is they provide employment training and opportunities to people with disabilities. Tradewinds is part of Coarc, the largest nonprofit organization in Columbia County, NY that provides services and support to individuals with disabilities. Some items I've purchased at Tradewinds...a colorful, one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass ball for my aunt to hang in her window, a cute birdhouse made from a gourd, handmade hair pins for my friend, and gorgeous blue and flowery ceramic coasters for a Mother's Day gift.
