Attached to Vlepo gallery (see my review) on the second floor of the building next to Ruddy and Dean is a great little gift store that focuses on Staten island craftsmen and Staten Island themed gifts. We all, from time to time, need hostess gifts, housewarming gifts, wedding gifts, birthday gifts, and why not support local artists while you do it? Handmade jewelry, pottery, housewares, ornaments and more. Or for a more expensive gift as an investment, go next door to Vlepo gallery and pick up a local fine artist's work to display for yourself or give as a gift.
Only problem is it's easy to forget it's there on the 2nd floor.
