Daue House Gift Shop

Love this place! I like that the longer an items been there the cheaper the price gets. So if something good has been looked over you might get it for a great price.

This review was inspired by a fantastic experience I had here recently while purchasing a long sought-​after chandelier. All of the ladies (and even one of their husbands) at the Daue House Gift Shop provided excellent customer service and exceeded my expectations, taking a great deal of time and care to help my dad and I dismantle my new chandelier and pack it for transport. Daue House is one of my favorite shops in Salem: its selection is fantastic and ever-​changing, its prices are generally pretty reasonable to start with and over time can fall to incredible bargains, its associates are friendly and enthusiastic, and I know I’m supporting a good cause in my home town. If you’re looking for heirloom-​quality second hand items, and want to bring them home with good memories of a pleasant shopping experience, check it out.

plenty of parking and easy to find. i wandered thru this transformed house and found many special items. i found a lovely chest that was ornate and i fell in love with it. priced very reasonable. will be back.

Unbelievable. This is like a high end antique shop along with a thrift shop. Very nice people and great items. They have decent prices and, if they’ve been around too long, they are automatically reduced. Sometimes down to almost nothing! Did I say the quality of the items was great?

Great finds and wonderful women working here. Got a great set of glasses for a party at an even better price. High end mixed with fun funky treasures. It’s the place go if you want something specific but worth a stop if you’re just driving by or have time to kill. The fact that profits go towards a worthy cause makes the shopping guilt free!

I have been shopping at the Daue House since I was a little girl and was excited to go back last weekend when I was back in town. I’ve always loved it! It’s a wonderful thrift shop on the higher end, with profits going to the Assistance League of Salem. This beautiful old historic house is an absolute treasure trove, split up into many smaller rooms that must be explored at least once or even twice each visit. Like many stores that do consignment, prices are on a sliding scale and are reduced after certain lengths spent sitting in the shop. They can be reduced up to four times, meaning you can get a real bargain if you’re patient and lucky (for example, I almost bought a cute set of sake cups that was originally $ 8 and on its last markdown to $ 2). While I have always loved picking up items from thrift stores on my travels, as I find more unique things and memories that you can’t buy in a souvenir shop, I have to say that our trip to Daue House on Saturday was beyond fruitful. In what may be my find of 2013, I bought a set of four copper Moscow Mule mugs for $ 11.25 (originally $ 15 but they sat in the shop for a month or so — why? how?). I also found a $ 10 chip and dip bowl from the House of Myrtlewood in Coos Bay that matches a salad set I was given recently, owned by my late grandmother. Heirlooms, to me. My aunt found two lovely framed prints of two small villages in Germany, both of which she lived in as a child so she bought one for my dad. The collections of crystal, china, silver and gold flatware, dish sets and vintage kitchen items like Pyrex, Corningware, Jadeite and many others were large and in perfect condition. There were newer things as well — I wish I had room to take home the Crate & Barrel soup tureen and six small matching bowls I spied upstairs. Another family member took home a gorgeous blue gradient Lodge enameled cast iron dutch oven for a steal and we cooked in it that same night. Some of the clothing, especially suits and dresses, were a little bit dated but other racks were pretty current. I almost took home a BCBG sweater dress for just $ 10. This is a great organization to support with friendly volunteers staffing the register.

I have always wondered what the blue house on the corner of Saginaw and Owens was all about. One adventures day I wondered into this 1908 historic house. The nice women greeted me with a smile and gave me an over view of the Assistance League of Salem. They too said I could be a consignor. They told me how the tickets work. Very good system they have with an original price then they have mark downs. If you take a chance you can come back for the mark down price! Up stairs they have second edition clothing which is all donated. I had fun shopping’s a couple of things. Come to find out some of my purchases goes towards a cause. I wish I would of had more time because this house has a ton of stuff inside. Happy shopping!
