“Loving my Robot vs Sloth socks! So comfortable and the best thing is that every time I wear them they always remind me of my awesome solo trip to Seattle! I visited the store and they had so many cute things! Also always feels right to me spend my money supporting small businesses and great artists. Can’t wait to get more of their socks! ❤️??”
“How have I never sang my praises for Alair through a review?! I love Alair so much. It has been my happy place, my candle mecca and my gift-giving savior since the day it opened. You can always find something unique and silly, and the staff is helpful, funny and kind.Highly recommend following them on Instagram if you're not already -- and if you live far away, peruse their online shop asap! They offer curated gift services, which means they'll get as detailed and specific as you ask. I had them create a "happy divorce" package for one friend and a "happy 40th, you're still a college BFF to me!" for another one.Locals, you can also rent the space for private shopping parties during Christmas time -- it's the best way to shop with friends during a busy season!”
“My nephew and I found this shop while wandering around on our trip to Seattle. We both left happy and excited about the cool new stuff we got. This place is nothing like Seattle’s typical cookie cutter gift shops where they all sell the same thing. They are locals selling their art products and also stuff from other local artists. The owner is very kind and welcoming, she even took the time to talk with us a while. If you’re looking for unique and hilarious, I highly recommend this shop. You’ll not only find something awesome that none of your friends have but you’ll be supporting local business and art community. It’s a win win!”
“My K-pop mates flew home this morning, so I was solo for the remainder of my time in Seattle. I finally made my way to Pacific Place, next to my hotel. Alas, it seems it’s another shopping center in search of tenants and customers. Is this the fate of many shopping centers on the West Coast, like San Francisco Centre on Market Street?
Anyway, I found myself inside Pacific Place with nothing to do and I stumbled across The Handmade Showroom on the 3rd floor. Hey, I found bracelets made out of guitar strings from High Strung Studios in Trenton, NJ. I lost a guitar bracelet the day before, so it was serendipity … I purchased one made with bass guitar strings and secured with a magnetic clasp ($57.38). I had to buy one … I would have purchased more but they didn’t have any more in size Medium (for my 6.75-inch wrist). Hah, I ordered two more from High Strung Studios for less money than at The Handmade Showroom.
So, I found at least one interesting store in this shopping complex. I remain hopeful that more vendors will open a store in this complex.”
“Been going here since 2006 one of my most favorite shops other then radiance in Washington state my dog anubis really enjoys it haven't been here physically in 3 years but it is a wonderful place”
“I recently visited Pema Kharpo for the first time and am SO happy I finally went. I have been meaning to buy a first singing bowl and found many great options, and one of the perfect size to bring home. I've only had it a few days but it has made my daily meditation time that much better.
However, I think my favorite part of my visit was meeting Rigdzin, he is truly a special person to get to chat to, and it was a pleasure to meet him.”

“This is a good store. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. While it is a large tourist trap, it still has some interesting small totem poles inside for sale. This store sells several knick knacks and oddities, such as miniature wolf masks and custom made Lego mini figures of famous movie characters. They also sell honey roasted cashews and almonds, which they provide samples of. I tried a honey roasted cashew and it tasted quite good. They also have a fortune telling machine that costs a dollar to use. After looking around I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave this shop five stars because while it is a tourist trap, it still has some interesting items to look at, such as its totem poles.”
“Perfect spot for last-minute gifts — you’re bound to find something for everyone! Especially handy during the holiday season. The store is full of fun little knick-knacks, and you could easily spend a lot of time browsing through everything. I love that everything upstairs is color-coordinated — makes shopping even more enjoyable. It can get a little overstimulating on weekends with the crowds, but that’s part of the lively charm of the place.”
“This place carries wonderful pieces of art and delectable delights for your palate in every corner. It’s a treat for all of your senses and perfect for gift shopping. Please check them out, you certainly won’t regret it”
“This was one of the friendliest shop experiences I've had in some time. Kahuna Dave was great and so welcoming! The conch shell welcome and 'Go Big Red' (Nebraska) chant was amazing. Thank you, Kahuna Dave, for a memorable experience and I will be back next time I'm in Seattle.”
“Absolutely incredible experience here - went in to find a gift for my incredibly discerning aunt and received wonderful guidance from more than one employee. Left with a delightfully wrapped gift! Thanks y'all!”

“Today I found this beautiful one-of-a-kind vintage bag at a lovely little antique store. It was handmade by the shop owner herself! She creates so many amazing things beyond just bags — her craftsmanship is truly impressive. She’s also incredibly kind and warm-hearted. This is such a wonderful place to enjoy French-inspired vintage pieces and local art!”

“These are the most beautiful handcrafted books I have ever laid eyes on. I bought one a few years back and have absolutely loved it so I could not pass up the opportunity to get my hands on another. You can even water color on the pages after you are done writing/journaling in it--that's my next step for the first one. Anyways absolute love--made with extreme care and quality”
“This is such a lovely and wonderful store to have in the neighborhood! They have a great collection of hand-made art, crafts, food, souvenirs, and gift ideas. The style is great, not gaudy at all. And the prices are super affordable. Best of all, everything is locally sourced in the PNW. Really kind and attentive staff as well. I highly recommend this shop!”
“Highly recommend this store! The website is basic and they were so lovely to work with and even wrapped the presents for my niece with the shipping. Thank you again it was great service and a pleasure to shop small ? 5️⃣⭐️”

“I went to Station 7 in search of some well made rings and found what I was looking for! The woman working there was very kind when I asked her about the rings tarnishing. She was upfront about the gold plated tarnishing faster than the gold filled. I love that she gave me an honest answer! It made me want to support the shop even more. I went with the gold plated one because I liked the design better. She gave me tips to prevent it from tarnishing faster, which is appreciated. I recommend this spot if you’re on the hunt for some cute, unique finds!”
“Super cute place with friendly staff. Lots of cards, paper products like pad and pencils, wrapping paper, a few pins, plus some body products and a great selection of jewelry. Stop by for some ice cream at Sweet Alchemy and browse around.”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”
“Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Great place to go if you’re looking for souvenirs from Seattle! Also, they have more toys than other souvenir shops nearby, if that means anything. Im sure some families would like a place with something for the kids :)”

“I ordered two of the Desert Night Dog Collars cause i needed breakaway collars for boarding and love how they look on my dobermans. The colors look more vibrant than on the website. The mediums are huge but there's plenty of slack either way you need to go when sizing them up.”
“I liked this store as soon as I walked in... A nice open atmosphere , colorful with many beautiful at reasonable prices. They carry Items for the home , kitchen, and family( for kids too!) , clothing , jewelry & other gift ideas as well as every day useful, practical items. I hope to be able to visit here again soon. shopkeeper was very friendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant experience shopping here”
“Coming here after 4 years still I’m equally impressed with this shop’s collection of cute and unique products. It’s a great place to find gift ideas for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions, as well as everyday lifestyle essentials that add a little fun and personality. The variety is amazing—there’s something here for everyone, whether you’re looking for cozy home items, quirky accessories, or thoughtful presents that stand out.”
“This is my favorite shop in all the land and I am so glad it is in my own neighborhood! Filled with uniquely curated local goods, I always find something(s) to take home to elevate my life! Everything I’ve purchased here over the past several years is such high quality and the shop’s commitment to sustainable goods and supporting small businesses (as a small business itself!) is so admirable. Plus, the owner is the BEST!”
“We were just exploring the market when someone offered us cookie samples - so of course we had to stop, and I'm glad we did! We tried a bunch of the flavors and especially like the chocolate chipotle and open sesame. The shortbread-type ones had an amazing texture. We bought a tin to take home and it was so cute!”
