Creative Ventures

A huge shop with lots of trinkets with Tucson flair. I got a couple items here to bring back to friends as souvenirs. The owner was super friendly. She also sells items from local artists. Very cool!

This is a great go-​to store for a nice, Arizona — themed gift, a white elephant gift or just something unique for your home.
They have a huge selection of unique items. We purchased some hanging clay baskets for a housewarming gift and later went back to purchase the same item for our own home. We’ve also bought incense and cedar to burn. We love browsing the selection of brightly colored ceramics!

If you would like Arizona souvenirs for yourselves or loved ones back home, this is the place!
They have tons of options, the prices were super reasonable, and they even wrap it up nicely for the trip home.

I cruised into Creative Ventures randomly on the search for a white elephant gift. I think the budget was ten dollars. When I walked in a little bit of anxiety set in as I was standing in the entrance with no idea where to begin. The store is much larger than I anticipated and stocks even more goods that I could have possibly imagined. If you’re in white elephant fix or searching or a quirky gift or two then this spot has got you covered from Mexican décor to beads, mugs, posters, and Cactus shaped back scratchers, which is what I purchased for my white elephant exchange and it was exactly $ 9.99. How did I find that little gem among the mounds and bins filled with goodies as far as the eye could see? I asked the owner for help! Otherwise I would’ve been in there at least an hour. The back scratched was his first recommendation. When I saw it, I burst into laughter and said «I’ll take it.» by the way, the gift was a hit and was claimed three times during the exchange. A winning choice indeed. I’ll definitely be back to peruse the rest of the collection and pick up a quirky holiday gift or two. Our local shops really are the best
