Cleocruiser Posted July 2, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2007 We wanted something that was original to Alaska. We chose a carved Caibou antler. They have them everywhere with a wide range of pricing. We got ours in Juneau in a shop that was locally owned. They have a book showing many different styles and are made by a family that lives in Juneau. I also got a pendant od Quartz with a gold view running through it. Again, I looked in many stores until i found one who gave me a certificate of authenticity and explained the quality.

EmmaWoodhouse Posted July 3, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Wow, the carved antler sounds really quite special, thanks Cleo! Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usavvy2 Posted July 4, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2007 35# of fresh salmon & 11# of fresh halibut. (caught it ourselves in King Salmon and Homer - respectively!) I never want to eat store-bought salmon again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qiangf2 Posted July 4, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Out of curiosity-- what's the best souvenir you've picked up on an Alaska trip, and where did you get it? a hand make glass necklace by local artist in Ketchikan for my DW.

NorthernVAPirate Posted July 4, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was going to say my Ulu knife I got at the Ulu Factory in Anchorage, which is the most useful knife in my kitchen....but I now must agree with usavvy2 and say the halibut we caught in ISP was the best!!!

nextelcup Posted July 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Alaskan photo album...beige in color with a map engraved on it. I really regret not buying the beautiful blue scrapbook album. (I don't normal scrapbook, but now I REALLY wish I would have bought the scrapbook.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chat Noir Posted July 4, 2007 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ulu knives ~very useful!!! Ulu Factory brand and other 'handmade' ulus. I'd like one from Eagle River Knife Company, someday... PHOTOS ~relive the memories! My next cruise 'souvenir' is going to be a NICE camera to take with us in order to bring back better souvenir photos. Alaskan Jams/Jellies ~wonderful unique flavors! Something I still want, an item from here- http://www.qiviut.com/store/index.cfm?target=home I purchased a Russian nesting doll set... finally put it away after tiring of dusting. I purchased small gold nugget earrings in Carcross. Was wearing them when I noticed I wasn't wearing them, I was wearing one! There is a Klondike nugget somewhere lying around in Oklahoma... and one lonesome one lying around here useless. I have a few more useless odd - n - ends hanging around from our first 2 trips. Our third trip (May), I only made one purchase - a t-shirt. It is a nice conversation starter. Otherwise, no more stuff in my already stuffed house!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
