Specialty Gifts - Galena (IL)

2 /5 Marshall Doane: Items available are either very cheaply made little sports trinkets, slapstick shirts, or extremely high priced generic art and shiny things. Not sure if this is the gift store to represent Galena. Too much and not high enough quality. Trying to have something for everyone and it doesnt really work for a triangle building. (Also not using the triangle tip building entrance, and instead barricading the door is a missed opportunity for me...)

1 /5 Maria Villada: This place needs to be shut down. They sell over priced tacky dollar store items at outrageously steep prices. The owner was extremely rude and disrespectful to my aunt who he thought didnt understand English. My aunt is very timid and wanted to buy her items and leave, but the owner was making scary remarks about the items she was going to purchase. My aunt decided to only 1 out of the 3 items she had picked out because she and I noticed that the items were falling apart and not well made. He continued to make nasty comments about what the items we were purchasing. This place seriously needs to be shut down. You have a better chance at buying better quality made items at the dollar store. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE. SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

5 /5 Chela: This was by far my favorite jewelry store in Galena. There were many options available in all sizes sorted very well and organized. Real sterling silver jewelry. There’s a variety of styles to choose from. The man at the register was very kind and friendly. They also have an upstairs with holiday decor all year long. Loved the place so much I came back to buy more rings.

5 /5 Jeremiah Scott: This place has so many varieties of collectibles !! There’s vintage signs, various jewelry, toys, T-shirt’s, cool wall decor...so much stuff! Such a neat old building too being on a cool corner location. Worth a stop for sure!
