ladydawn Posted August 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I always like to pick up gifts when I travel. What are your suggestions for gifts from Skagway, Ketchican and Juneau? Where are the best deals? What and where is the best quality merchandise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted August 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2004 OK- I'm cheap- but for coworkers, kids, distant family etc. :)) They all seem to like the Alaska Jack candy bars- McKinley bars are a little more expensive- BUT the wrappers have nice artwork and are under $2. I like the Alaska Roadhouse and local cookbooks, and ulu knives are great gifts- pack in luggage for flights. Nesting dolls come in all price ranges and the tshirts will be on the clearance rack in a few weeks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruvidu Posted August 9, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2004 We just went on a South Bound in May and this is a list of what we purchased for us and friends. We are also listing our favorite stores in each town. Russ and Viv SKAGWAY Skagway Art - Beautiful original artwork. Look at the Transformer (eagle/woman) and Whales Tail pendants. North To Alaska - Purchased our Ulu Knives here. Made in Alaska with matching cutting board for $31.95. They also have the quality Grizzly Paws for salad serving. They ship for whatever it cost and do not charge any handling fees. The nice lady from OK will be glad to help you. The items we purchased on Tuesday afternoon were at our home when we arrived on Sat. JUNEAU Galligaskins - 219 S. Franklin St. Real up town type store. Say hello to the lady from Charleston SC for us. The Fireweed Shop - 469 S. Franklin St. Look at their leather pocket books. Bet you will want one. Caribou Crossings - Driftwood Santa Alaska Shirt Co. Alaska Hand Puppet with 5 Alaskan animals. KETCHIKAN Perfect Partners - 22 Creek St. Alaskan made dolls. Beautiful. Barnaby's Old Town - 422 Mission St. Great selection of a lot of items and you can have your photo made with a big ole Polar Bear. Be sure and pet the dog at the door. Blue Heron - Alaskan & Native art. Check out the handmade Ulus and other knives. I got one here with a 6" antler across the top. Poker Creek Gold - $39 Gold whales tail. Dockside Trading Co. Children's Fleece Tom's Treasures - Silver whales tails with mother of pearl, onyx, turquoise or other insets. These are the ones we liked. The owner/operators were most gracious and we hope to see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
