A World of Unique Treasures

Step through our entrance and you’ll immediately sense the magic of handpicked variety. From globetrotting gifts and ornaments to one-of-a-kind glassware, every shelf tells a story. Customers often marvel at our collection: “Everything is so unique—loved the ornaments!” One day you might discover a delicate blown-glass vase from Europe; the next, a locally crafted ceramic bowl that brings character to any table. We pride ourselves on sourcing items that aren’t found in big-box stores, guaranteeing your gift-giving moments stand out.

Warmth and Expertise in Every Visit

At Evelyn & Harriett’s Gifts, outstanding customer service isn’t just a promise—it’s our passion. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted by owners who know their inventory inside and out. Need help choosing between two necklaces? Wondering about the origin of a hand-woven basket? “Friendly, knowledgeable, fun!” sums up the experience at our counter. Time and again, shoppers commend the staff’s genuine care: “The owners are super sweet and friendly.” That attentive, personal touch transforms a simple shopping trip into a memorable excursion.

Cozy Atmosphere and Engaging Experience

Our barn-turned-gift shop exudes warmth. Soft lighting, tasteful displays, and curated music invite you to linger, explore, and discover. Shoppers often describe the ambiance as “absolutely inviting, friendly, warm, fun.” Families wander aisles lined with curiosities; friends compare notes on artful keepsakes; couples share a moment over a hand-thrown pottery piece. Every corner offers something unexpected—an ideal backdrop for meaningful gifts or a treat to yourself.

Upstairs “No Tech” Toy Loft

One of our most beloved features is the upstairs, screen-free Toy Loft. This magical nook is devoted to classic, wooden, battery-free toys designed to spark imagination. Children (and the young at heart) gleefully race wooden trains, master balance toys, and reenact forest adventures with hand-carved figures. “Looking for the best toys made of wood & no batteries? The whole shop is great,” raves a satisfied parent. By offering a playful haven away from screens, we encourage creativity and genuine connection.

Artisan-Made Inspiration

Supporting artisans—both local and international—is at the heart of what we do. Each handcrafted item comes with a story: the weaver in Honduras who dyes fibers with natural pigments, the Ukrainian ceramist preserving centuries-old traditions, the small team of glassblowers in Murano. Our shopkeepers share these narratives, creating deeper connections between buyers and makers: “The shopkeeper was knowledgeable about the artists, their country, and even the stories behind what inspired the artist.” When you purchase from Evelyn & Harriett’s, you’re investing in living crafts and ethical trade.

Polish Pottery & Global Ceramics

Ceramics enthusiasts will find a dedicated selection of Polish pottery and international clay works. Our hand-painted mugs, plates, and mixing bowls showcase vibrant patterns that brighten any kitchen. Visitors frequently mention, “Love the Polish pottery—beautiful items from around the globe.” Each piece is as functional as it is decorative, built to last and to become part of family traditions.

Quality and Value You Can Trust

Exceptional quality doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. At Evelyn & Harriett’s, we believe that fair, accessible pricing enhances the joy of gifting. Shoppers appreciate our commitment to value: “Prices reasonable—great place to explore.” Whether you’re picking up a small token or investing in a signature jewelry piece, you’ll find that every dollar stretches further here without compromising on craftsmanship or uniqueness.
