Name of Shop: Sequoia Gifts and Souvenirs
Sequoia Gifts and Souvenirs is small and intimate. The owner, Scott, was very helpful in helping me select a unique gift for my sister's upcoming birthday. She loved it by the way! I originally went looking for souvenirs at a couple of the stores in the park but nothing really caught my eye. I travel a lot and like to get unique items that will remind me of the area. I found a beautiful wind chime at Sequoia Gifts as well as some very unique journals and cards.
I also found some great puppets for my nephews. All in all I ended up doing all my souvenir shopping at Scott's store because the prices were reasonable and I was able to find some wonderful items that I have not even seen in the "big city"! It's definitely worth a visit! Better than any store in the park....and friendlier service too!! I was happy to hear that they also pack and ship the items right there so I sent the puppets to my nephews...awesome!!
What To Buy: Any bear-related items, and of course T-shirts that show the Giant Sequoias. Sequoia Gifts and Souvenirs in Three Rivers, CA just outside the park has the best selection in my opinion. They also have some beautiful wooden boxes with local scenery as well as paintings and photos of local sites.
What To Pay: I bought a high-quality Sequoia National Park T Shirt for $20 but ended up spending a lot more on gifts for relatives and ended up spending over $130--well worth it! If I would have checked out some of the unique jewelry I probably would have spent twice as much...at least! (darn budgets) I'll have to come back for another shopping spree--he, he.
