Raise your hand if you love the ease and speed of buying a gift with Amazon Prime. With the quick “Buy Now” button, you’ll find a smiling brown package sitting on your doorstep in a couple of days. And although the convenience is great, the warm, personal feeling that comes from taking the time to shop locally is often missing.
Yakima gift shops are full of locally curated items, flowers, desserts, and thoughtful pieces you can’t find anywhere else. So, whether you’re on the hunt for a holiday or birthday gift or, our favorite, a closing gift, you can find a thoughtful present here in Yakima. Check out our go-to shops for unique and meaningful gifts.
1. Yakima’s Ship Shop
4001 Summitview Ave, Suite 5 Yakima, WA 98908
Don’t let the name fool you! Owner, Nicholas Kline, has spent the last few years growing a one-stop shop for all things local. Choose from over 50 locally made products like Yakima Valley wines, candles, honey, and more. Yakima Shop Shop is a wonderful place to support small businesses.
This shop is the best place if you’re planning on sending the gift because you can do it in the shop without an additional stop at the post office.
2. Fiddlesticks
1601 Summitview Ave Yakima, WA 98902
Fiddlesticks has been a shopping staple in Yakima for over 45 years, and when you visit, you will understand why. This store has a little of everything for pretty much any occasion! From decor, clothing, shoes, baby items, cooking items, keepsakes, and more, it’s always decorated and displayed perfectly.
If you’re looking for a holiday gift, check out their cozy hats, scarves, and coats with complimentary gift wrapping. Another way to stay warm is with their delicious soup mixes and other specialty food items. Fiddlesticks doesn’t offer an online ordering service, so your best bet is to head down to the shop and explore all the beautiful gift options they offer.
3. Sister to Sister
10 Merlot Dr, Prosser, WA 99350
Take a scenic drive down the valley to Sister to Sister, located in Prosser. Beautifully decorated, they feature a collection of gifts, home decor, jewelry, clothing, candles, gourmet foods, and so much more.
However, Sister to Sister is more than a gift shop. It’s also a delightful lunch spot, serving seasonal soups, salads, sandwiches, and freshly baked treats. Check out their Facebook page for their weekly menus.
4. The Little Bake Shop at Johnson’s Orchards
4906 Summitview Ave, Yakima, WA 98908
The Little Bake Shop features scratch-made pies and treats using seasonal fresh fruit grown in the Yakima Valley. Keep an eye out for their holiday preorders, like pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving. Check here to see their offerings and easily order online.
Who doesn’t love a baked good with a gift? They also have a market with a great selection of gift items like local wine and seasonal fruit. It is centrally located in Yakima and is housed in a charming old warehouse, which we love.
5. Simply Crafted Floral
Simply Crafted Floral offers stunning flower arrangements and unique items perfect for gifts. Who wouldn’t love a monthly bouquet delivered to their home for a year? The owner, Jen, likes bringing in items you can’t find anywhere else in Yakima, and she accomplishes that!
If you’re into giving experiences instead, they offer in-store events like a flower crown-making party or floral arrangement classes. Check out their website to book your event! They also host seasonal festivals featuring other small businesses and often add a charitable aspect to their events.
