Souvenir Shopping Suggestions

[BazAl]

Good Afternoon.

 

In August @Celebrity Millennium.  

 

Port: Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway/Haines, Icy Strait Point

 

Looking for Alaskan Made Souvenirs - Not sure what my budget is.  Not trinkets made elsewhere (though I do collect cups/spoon so that may be made in a foreign location).  Any souvenirs or shop recommendations in these ports.  Open to any suggestions - I won't know what's out there unless someone tells ya.  

 

Thanks!!

If you want to ensure the item is made in Alaska, look for the official "Made in Alaska" logo. https://www.facebook.com/buythebear

If you want to ensure an item was made by an Alaska Native, look for the Silver Hand logo: https://arts.alaska.gov/silverhand

If you have enough space in your checked luggage coming home, ulu knives are pretty great for chopping vegetables, nuts, etc.  They are sold in many shops in Alaska.

In Juneau check the Sealaska Heritage Institute gift shop. 

 

In ISP there is a lovely shop at the end of the old cannery complex which has interesting jewelry and bent wood boxes.  Also in the past there has also been a shop which sells locally made lotions and soaps prepared in Tlingit fashion.

The largest souvenir shop in Alaska, Tongass Trading Company, is in Ketchikan and located at the pier.  It has lots of both Chinese and Alaska-made items.  If you venture upstairs where the locals shop, you will find outfitting gear.  After a sale, customers receive the largest, orange, shopping shoulder bag I have ever seen.
