Because of You


Since opening our doors in Edina, Minnesota, we have had the honor of being recognized seven times by our community. We are proud to have received the title of Best Specialty Store in Minnesota five times, the award for Best Place to Buy a Gift in Minnesota once, and Best Gift Store from Edina Magazine.

What makes these recognitions truly meaningful is that they come directly from our community — the very people who have walked through our doors, shared their stories with us, and allowed us to be part of their lives. These awards are a reflection of their support and trust, and we are deeply grateful.

Each day we spend with the people who walk through our doors is a reminder of why we do what we do. These moments of connection — sharing stories, exchanging smiles, and introducing our heritage — are what make every award meaningful. Our greatest honor will always be serving a community that continues to welcome us with such warmth.
