You won’t find any other store in town that has more uniquely Southwestern items, from heirloom seeds for nearly lost regional crops to one-of-a-kind gifts and videos and handmade crafts and soaps (made of yucca root, for example)—all with a link to the region and its past.
A perfect gift to take back home is one of the gift baskets sold here, with all kinds of locally and regionally produced foods, soaps, and balms. This store also has an excellent selection of books about Tucson [2] and the Southwest.
