      Such a unique find here in Ferndale. Two floors of unique finds from locally made items, to crafts, candies, trinkets, clothing... and history. This place has it all. During Christmas there were plenty of gifts to find for all and we will be coming back all year round to purchase items for ourselves and for friends and family. Stop in if you're in Ferndale. Best kk around store in my opinion!

      No place like this unique store where you can purchase hard to find old fashion items. Highly recommended!

      One of the best shops in Ferndale!
      The have a wide range of giftable (sp) stuff.
      The locally made lotion and soap is a good gift, and GG ships too.
      Vanilla Fig lotion/soap sounded intriguing.
      They have a nice selection of sweets too.

      Very friendly! Easy to communicate with. I have never been in the store, but placed an order to have a Christmas present delivered to Eureka, the day before Christmas Eve. I can imagine they were extremely busy, but didn't hesitate to help me with their online ordering process and assured me there delivery would be done that day. The recipient of the gifts loved it. Thank you!

      My profound affinity for visiting Golden Gait persists unabated, even in the absence of consummating a purchase, as the mere act of stepping foot within its premises evokes a reminiscent sense of childlike wonder akin to perusing a grand emporium of toys. The staff members, characterized by their exceptional disposition, exude an unparalleled affability, augmenting the overall encounter with a remarkable sense of warmth and hospitality. In summation, the experience is transformed into an extraordinary venture, leaving an indelible impression and perpetuating an atmosphere of unbridled delight.

      This is by far, the best small town tchotchke store I've ever been to, and by that I don't mean they have a simple collection of stuff. They have everything you can imagine that you need, not just pretty, cutesy stuff. The owner clearly spends her life tending to this place. It's an emporium, it's a museum, it's a way-back machine and it's by far, the most fun you can have in a store of this kind anywhere. Oh, and here's a tip. Go for the candy! Good luck and have fun!

      This place is the best: Sweets, treats, vintage treasures, hats, clothes, spices, old toys and even a built in mini-museum. I LOVE this place!!!
