fantiastic gifts

by cvandoran

Great little store for unusual but nice finds. I did a lot of Christmas shopping there. Especially good for those who have everything. Nice sized parking lot, plus other interests nearby (eating and so on)

• Pros: variety, parking, nearby ameneites, really friendly clerks
• Cons: an't think of any

This non-profit gift shop franchise is filled to the brim with handmade, worldly finds.

In Short
Entering Ten Thousand Villages is a bit like wandering into a bazaar in a foreign country. Exotic home accents, trinkets and jewelry spill from the shelves. Sift through romantic, handcrafted marble sculptures, kitschy garden decor, whimsical paper flowers, beaded purses and colorful satin pillows. Countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam benefit from the sale of their wares at more than 100 locations across North America, while you benefit from beautiful works of art at very reasonable prices.
