Giraffe consistently meets my needs for surprising, beautiful items for my home and for gifting. The linens are of outstanding quality and everything is ethically sourced. The greeting cards decorated with quilling are my go-to for thank you notes and gift cards. They are stunning. I have been shopping at Giraffe for at least 10 years and plan to continue long into the future.

Nice store. Unique products. Pretty pricey, but I believe the products are fair trade, so the prices make sense.

Giraffe has an amazing selection of ethically sourced decorations and gift. Besides having an awesome selection of crafts, the service here was top tier! We ended up getting some decorative baskets, and the team was able to tell us where each of them was made. So many positive things happening here!

Any fashion aficionado would fall in love with Giraffe because it is such an outstanding store. The owner of the store has a deep affection for clothes, and it is evident in the way she presents her merchandise. The store has a cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.I received that personalized shopping experience. The owner has a keen eye for fashion and can instantly tell what size will fit you best just by looking at you. This level of attention to detail is hard to come by in most stores these days.The designs are bold, colorful, and exude a certain vibrancy that will make you stand out from the crowd. I was thrilled with the no-frills approach to shopping at Giraffe. I will definitely be back for more clothes and can't wait to see what new styles the owner will bring in.

What a gem store I found when in Vashon! All the good and cute stuffs are here. Definitely a true meaning of a happy store. They featured lots of interesting things from Guatemalan worry dolls, kitchen essentials, antiques, warm clothes & etc. The owner who's a former seamstress ended up the Giraffe store where you will surely appreciate the fabric contour on each clothes displayed. Most of them are from Pakistan made and the quality of fabric was personally handpicked by the owner as she journeyed throughout. She's the smartest and the friendliest! This store offered a variety of displayed products which will capture your personality. Clean store and upon entering they still provide hand sanitizer for everyone to use. If you're in the island make sure to check this out! You'll be happy I guarantee you. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow Yeeps.

Fantastic store! I was visiting Vashon for the week and needed a baby gift. Found that and a whole lot amore when I walked into Giraffe Home. So many beautiful things, so wonderfully chosen by the lovely owner. Ended up purchasing baby gifts, plus awesome jewelry, skin care products, cards, housewares, and more. The owner shared lots of great information about the products and their origin, and even offered to gift wrap the baby items. Such a fabulous store -- will definitely visit again and highly recommend!
