 With salesperson Horiko at
Once in Blue Moose, AK by jumpingnorman, 4 more photos
But I promised Horiko that I would put her on my VT website and she was so pleased that she gave me two free decks of cards (because I also spent over $100) and then the manager also gave me and my sister free bags! What nice people...
I bought a honking salmon for the twins which I am sure would drive my wife crazy, and also a nice cube that created nice pictures of Alaskan wildlife for the twins. And I saw this amazing piece of jewelry for my wife, locally made in Alaska -- and I was given 50% off on it. So I bought that necklace and my wife loved it!
This store is located right in downtown Anchorage as you are walking around the Visitor Center, but I also saw another store with the same name at the 5th Avenue Mall. Leave a Comment

My sister was ecstatic when I met her in Anchorage because she saw there was a Nordstrom which she loves shopping at.
OK.
Well, I persuaded her that that was what we were to do on our last day and this 5-level mall is right in the middle of downtown and can't be missed! there are connective over-the-road glass tunnels for convenience (must be a lot of help during snowing times).
Other than Nordstrom, they also have Banana Republic, Body Shop and Eddie Bauer...
But, im my opinion, you can see all these other shops around the USA. Instead, my sister actually found a store she liked which was not in the mall but outside -- it was a small boutique store and I think it was called "Bottome UP" (?) and all I remember is that the store person was watching the store for his wife who was the owner and we were talking about real estate in Arizona while my sister was shopping around his store...(it had a sign that said "Fashion below the Waist"...whatever that means, hehehe....My sister VTer "jumpingwithnorman" might have made a tip about it...
Mall is open M-F 10AM-9PM, Sat 10 AM -8PM and and Sun 11AM-6PM Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreAddress: 5th Ave and C StPhone: 258-5535

This market is unlike the others in Anchorage--at least from what we've seen so far. We have the chain grocery stores like Carrs Safeway and stuff, but for a change, this place is worth going to. It has fresh local seafood, seafood from Japan and other places flown in each day and items you can't find all together in one store in Anchorage. It reminds me a lot of "Whole Foods" and somewhat like "Trader Joes" in the lower 48 with natural and organic products. Also, you'll find a lot of Asian specialty foods and things like goat milk, very fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, etc. Additionally, they have hot food you in a buffet style (mostly Asian), a cafe (Kaladi Brothers) and a bakery inside. It's a neat atmosphere overall.
Even if you're not going to stay in Anchorage for a long time, it's a fun place to check out. They do ship seafood (like Alaskan King Crab) from their store and website.
If you're looking for a place with a huge variety of nuts, granola, different cereals and other things that are easy to take on a road trip through Alaska, this is your place. If you want to ship some seafood home and don't have the time to fish for it yourself, try getting it here. As with most specialty food stores, it is a little more expensive but not too much. Different coffees and teas (a HUGE selection of teas from everywhere) are sold here as well. Good coffee at the cafe and items from the bakery are also worth purchasing...

When you are tired of the crowded tourist traps that sell trinkets that you will probably never use or wear after your Alaskan trip is over, then you need to visit Style of Russia. This is appropriately acclaimed as one of the most beatiful gift stores in downtown Anchorage.
Style of Russia is eye-candy. Everything is beautiful and beautifully displayed. Don't be fooled - it isn't a museum (although it can appear that way). The items are treasures and are GREAT in price - especially if you have any experience with what other stores sell Russian-made items.
Once you get past wanting everything at Style of Russia, then you can get to serious shopping. They have musk-ox shawls from Siberia that are so inexpensive, you'll wonder what the catch is. There is no catch - they are beautiful and elegant.
Love art? You will want to consider a beautiful hand-painted lacquer box.
Love teapots and teacups and dishes? Style of Russia has the finest porcelain imagineable from St. Petersburg, Russia.
Want something inexpensive? They have that too! A wonderful and fun collection of Russian nesting dolls ranging from the EXTREMELY collectible (like a 50-piece doll) to fun small dolls that cost only a few dollars that are great as gifts for children and friends.
When you purchase from Style of Russia, you will be paying pennies on the dollar for what the item is worth and almost guaranteed less than any other store that sells Russian items is pricing their items at. You can walk away with real treasures for relatively nothing.

 Happy Shoppers by cruisingbug
One particular Alaskan product that you're not likely to find elsewhere is qiviut, or musk ox hair, which is 80 percent warmer by weight than wool. Scarves, hats, and gloves made from qiviut are, of course, pricey, but if you can afford it, worth more than their weight in gold when winter settles in. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I do like this mall, because it is easy to reach by walking and there are good refresment places, such as Nordstrom Coffee Shop (nice views) and Fruit Bar upstairs (delicious smooths).
There is also a small special store, which sells everykind of Iditarod-stuff. That is a great place visit.
There are lots of tourist shops in Anchorage and occassionally you may find something nice from there, but don't buy overpriced postcards, Alaska t-shirts etc or nuggets. it is just waste of money, special if they are made in China. Concentrate more native arts and jewelry, there are lots of good nice shops along 5th and 6th avenue. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 5th and 6th Avenue
