Sure, I may be a sucker for museum stores, but trust me -- this one is well worth it. From beautiful gifts hand-crafted in North Carolina to whimsical and also hauntingly beautiful pieces imported from Japan, this shop has everything you need when youre shopping for the perfect gift. Whether youre looking for a unique decorative gift, a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, a hand-made childrens toy or an artful item for your home, the Ackland has it. Plus, its conveniently located on Franklin street, so its a great place to go window shop if youre looking to go for a walk downtown.

I love the selection here. This is such a great place for a gift.
