goinmobile68 Posted February 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My sister was on a Hawaii cruise right before Christmas this past year & did some very interestnig shopping for the family. I realize that I will be on our Alaska cruisetour just before her birthday & thought it might be fun to shop for her in Alaska. This is my first trip to Alaska, so I'm asking those with more experience-what have you found that makes a great gift, or is something very unique?

oldmama Posted February 6, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ulus, glacier soap & lotion, & salmon treats for the dogs. Granddaughter loved the necklace with the gold flakes from panning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funcorn Posted February 6, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2010 We bought ulus & got them on the ship without any problem. Just be sure to pack them in your checked luggage, if you're flying home. We also found some really neat cribbage boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted February 6, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Last fall I visited two very good N/W Indian gift shops in Ketchikan that may interest you. Crazy Wolf Studio on Mission St. and Haida House on Water St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goinmobile68 Posted February 7, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Probably a dumb question, but what's a ulus? (Ulu?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
