If Only...

Wow, huge selection of gifts, including the biggest Vera Bradley display I’ve seen!

According to the woman who works here, this place has been around for 15 years and according to Unilocal it gets about one review per year so here goes 2013. I stopped in while spending a couple hours in Fairbanks and had a nice time browsing. There are a lot of interesting items that are unique, but they’re also kind of pricey. There is pottery, glassware, metalware, stationery, and lots of other stuff. If you’re looking for a special gift that you cannot find in the run-​of-​the-​mill tourist stores, you’ll probably have success here. Again, good stuff, but pricey. Hard to miss with the painted lady outside. While here, take a walk across the street and spend a few minutes at the Fairbanks community history museum — it’s free!

Awesome store filled with unique gifts with a sustainability edge. Found these jam/​jelly jars made into wine, margarita and champagne flasks: Totally cool! Also found Béquet Caramels from Minnesota that are the best I’ve encountered, apart from Fran’s in Seattle.
Tons of cool stuff for kids, wrapping paper, stationary & jewelry. I really enjoyed browsing their fine collection of etched glass in contemporary designs. A nice array of Mighty Wallet that I ended up purchasing.
Prices are on the higher side, however a shop with this much taste is few and far between in my neck of the woods.
Staff very friendly and gave us some suggestions about mushing sites and outfitters. Absolutely worth a browse!

If Only is my absolute favorite store in Fairbanks.
Whenever I am in town, I make it a priority to visit. The staff is very friendly and willing to assist (Erika is wonderful!) and the diverse assortment of goodies is always exciting to explore. Vera Bradley handbags/​wallets/​etc., high quality lotions and soaps, beautiful stationary and colorful cards, cute functional knick-​knacks, gorgeous jewelry, and gourmet chocolate (the B.T. McElrath Salty Dog Chocolate Bar is not to miss!) are only a few of the fabulous items offered.
A top choice to find awesome, original and classy presents for yourself, family and friends!

Fairbanks has a boutique?
Yes, and it’s pretty cool. Trendy NW charms, accoutrements, small décor and other souvenirs. It has genuine Alaskan-​made items and mainstream knick knacks.
An excellent downtown Fairbanks installation.
