The 10 Best Gift & Specialty Shops in Huntsville, Alabama (AL)
Huntsville is the fourth-largest city in Alabama, located in the northernmost part of the state. A city with a 200-year Southern heritage, visitors will find activities that celebrate Huntsville’s rich history, as well as attractions that highlight the city’s scientific side. At the Alabama Constitution Village, villagers in period clothing take time from their daily chores to guide you through eight reconstructed Federal style buildings. Younger visitors will love the 150 hands-on activities at the Sci-Quest Hands-on Science Center and older kids will learn what it takes to be an astronaut at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Looking for outings with a cultural flair? Landmarks such as the Huntsville Botanical Garden and Huntsville Museum of Art are must sees. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named Huntsville to its "America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations for 2010" list.

If you like unusual items with some great patina, this is the store for you. Not only do they have a great and varied selection of small accent prices for home or office, they have a huge selection of antique doors and hardware. Do you like the old hardware stores with wood floors worn with age and a well trained staff? Here is a store you’ll never forget. The proprietors, Jason and Christa Butler along with the 12 children, are wonderful and welcoming to their guests. The building is a historic landmark that the family is happy to share its history. After a year of remodeling and restoration, they have made an unforgettable place to visit.

And a heck of a lot of fun. So much history in this place and the staff loves to chat with you about it along with details on the artisan works they offer for sale. I selected a pair of organically grown cotton socks that I'm really excited about and one of the ladies filled me in on the background of the company and the artist. I was happy with my selection before, but ecstatic after hearing the history. They are also extremely knowledgeable about things to see locally along with local history. What an awesome place!

Handmade truffles, cookies, cakes, ice cream, and sodas all made in house. The 7th Street truffle, filled with rosemary caramel is the best thing I've ever eaten, no joke. I stop by and get one (or four) every time I visit Lowe Mill. The handmade sodas are also great with their unique flavors. Vegan truffles are available

Really fun place to shop lots of different type of things, I like how they mix Antiques and new things together so that you have a little bit of everything for different types of people's tastes. We found some fun stuff for our Christmas gifts for family and something for myself too. This is our first time here visiting this city and we were trying to find something to do before going to a play later in the day and it took us a few hours to go through all the stalls. Very good staff they saw that her hands were full and they took away or items to hold at the front so we could gather more things, that does make a difference, customer service sometimes means a lot and whenever they do something that's simple to make your shopping experience better it'll make you want to come back and post reviews like this to make sure other people go there too. Definitely will be back
