This is a tough one…read more First of all, there's some REALLY cool stuff, but most of it is waaay overpriced. $650 for a Kentucky Fried Chicken light? Really? This is Maggie Valley, not Manhattan. That's about double what it's worth. Next, the owner is EXTREMELY outgoing...to the point of making you uncomfortable. Sure, he's friendly, but he appears to be on a constant caffeine or sugar high, bouncing off the walls. Don't get me wrong...I appreciate when someone is friendly, but this was to the point of being intrusive, and a bit creepy. Topping it off was the picture taped by the front door of President Biden made up as a terrorist. Look, I get it...it's his shop; he can do what he wants. But it's my time and my money, and I don't give a rat's crap about his politics. Yeah, yeah, I realize we were in Trump country, and the multiple life-sized cardboard cutouts of the guy only reinforced that, but I don't have to deal with that sort of nonsense. I actually found something I was interested in (one of the few reasonably-priced pieces in the store), but that interest dropped to zero when I saw the Biden picture. If you're willing to throw your politics under people's nose it just tells me you don't care about honking off a certain percentage of your potential customers...and that is a stupid business move. The smartest thing this guy could do would be to to dial back the in-your-face approach to customer interaction and keep his politics under wrap. Then he just might skirt around the ridiculous pricing.

We were passing through Maggie Valley, exploring what it had to offer, and let's face it: Maggie…read moreMountaineer Crafts is the largest gift store in the area, so we figured we should at least go in and see what it had to offer. What we found is realistically exactly what we expected: Lots of kitschy gifts, some made locally but a lot of it made overseas, all of which was stuff that we did not want or need. It was interesting to go around the building and see some of the things, and to look at the produce that was available, but we found some of the produce sitting on the ground rotting, which was sad and not at all appealing. If you need something to remember your trip to this area, by all means this place will have some sort of trinket that will do the job, but just remember that that is what you are going to get here... trinkets.

If you are in the Maggie Valley area and wear women's clothing, like jewelry, or are shopping for a…read moregift, this store is a must visit. Driving by it's hard to miss as the building is painted purple and there are dresses hanging from the gazebo, fluttering in the breeze. Don't miss the racks outside but once you enter the real fun begins. It's like walking into a rainbow as you are surrounded with colorful confections of clothing, leggings in any pattern you can dream of, silver (and more!) jewelry, handcrafted gift items and puzzles galore. The name of the store comes from the fact that they carry items from around the world. I love shopping here because you will find items you won't see anywhere else. I always get compliments when I wear something from this store. My sisters-in-law call it "the leggings store" because they carry so many (supersoft) leggings. Their specialty is tunics and dusters but you'll also find dresses, pants, jackets, and more. The sales team is a great resource to help you find just what you're looking for. Prices are mostly on the higher end but, in my opinion, reasonable for a curated collection of unusual items.

Unfortunately, a sales associate abruptly and incorrectly accused me of photographing price tags, then rudely told us the store was closed. The situation was handled in an unnecessarily confrontational and embarrassing manner. While the clothing was lovely, the customer service was so disappointing that I will never return. I WOULD NOT recommend this store based on my experience. Ironically, I was getting ready to replace my lost luggage. I didn't want to forget what I liked and what size it was without carrying it around the store.
