Global Awakening has a beautiful, eclectic selection of items that make for great gifts, from homegoods to purses to jewelry to baby clothes. The people working in the shop are always friendly without giving you that stalked-feeling that is easy to get in small stores. I found the prices to be comparable with those at Pier One, for similar looking goods – the difference being that this is a local shop with a CONSCIENCE.

A great new addition to the boutiques of Upper King, minus the snottiness. All of the many decorative items in the store are fairly traded, handmade, organic, or made from renewable resources. That makes for guilt-free Christmas shopping, but some of the prices might cause you to have a global awakening of your own($ 35 for that??!). Still, I found my nephews some unbelievably cute finger puppets for $ 3.50 a pop(see pix), and several of the bracelets made me drool. Great atmosphere and store design! My new go-to gift shop.
