West End Gallery

This shop stands alone in its creative and innovative gifts and art, although it might be likened to a bit of Elmwood in East Aurora. Or to Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!
Enter to a friendly greeting and on the counter, a giant bowl of fireballs! Take one to enjoy while browsing, unless you can’t stand the heat, wait until you’re outside.
Interesting items for sale are organized in an uncluttered way, jewelry of all price ranges, unique clocks, hand crafted woodwork, great gifts for that Buffalo-​themed present for a housewarming or expatriate who wishes to show the elegance of their Buffalo roots. From earrings to wall hangings, silver to wood, pottery to greeting cards, the limited quantities make for a one-​of-​a-​kind gift that won’t disappoint. Did I mention the flags? They’re made from parachute material I’m told, very interesting and festive on the deck or patio.
Oh, and you just can’t beat the customer service, plenty of time to browse uninterrupted, or pleasant or informative chat available if you’re so inclined.
Park in the back of the building and take all the time you need. West End Gallery gets a two thumbs up!

Great place with unique gift ideas. Their jewelry is very unique and all different price points. It’s one of many unique places in East Aurora. Also their wrapping is to die for!!! I would even ask for things to be wrapped if they were for me! Definitely a great place to see some original looking art pieces.

If you need a gift, and I’m talking about something that is original and not cliché, try the West End Gallery.
I did all my holiday shopping here. This place has something for even the hardest to please person on your list, in all price points. They have AWESOME paintings that can range from $ 32 to several hundred dollars (omg, check out the monkey paintings!), gorgeous jewelry, funky wine and martini glasses, hand painted place settings, etc. They even have cooler-​than-​thou ear buds for the discerning teenager in your life.
If you are buying a gift (though I’m sure you’ll find something you just have to have for yourself), they offer complimentary gift wrapping. It’s not just your standard wrapping paper, either. You can absolutely expect an ornament tied to your gift during the holidays, and various other decorative touches added to even the simplest of purchases. Their wrapped gifts are works of art in themselves.
Pro tip: The owner of the Gallery is an artist in her own right, and her pieces can be seen all over Buffalo — if you time it right you might just find one of them in the Gallery to have in your home as well.
