Where Did You Get That? Top Shopping Where You’d Least Expect It!
The Iron Range is full of hidden gems, including some of the best shopping where you’d least expect it. Your friends will never believe the answer when they ask ”Where did you get it?” Here are a few of our favorites!
Casey Drug
Located in downtown Chisholm, Casey Drug is the perfect one-stop-shop for picking up a prescription at the pharmacy, grabbing some hardware in the basement, and finding a lovely, thoughtful gift. Casey Drug has the perfect items to show off your regional pride: custom painted signs featuring town names from across the range, vinyl stickers of northwoods attractions, and jewelry from Cecelia Designs—a Minnesota company that plants one tree for every purchase.
Lyric
Take a stroll through this lovely Virginia art gallery and admire the rotating exhibits on show. Can’t get enough of the local art? Take a piece of art home with you! Original paintings and prints are for sale, as well as handcrafted jewelry, pottery, woven rugs, and more. The selection of gifts is as thoughtfully curated as the gallery.
Silver Birch–Toner Planet
This Hibbing gift shop is filled to the brim with something for everyone on your list. If you can’t find the perfect gift here, it probably doesn’t exist! Explore the shop for gourmet kitchen items, jewelry, candles, Minnesota souvenirs, Vikings gear, and an irresistibly cute selection of baby gifts. If you’re shopping for an out-of-town loved one, don’t worry about heading to the post office. You can take care of shipping your item right from the store.
SoHo Arts
If you’re looking to purchase handmade artisan goods and support a great organization, then look no further! SoHo Arts helps individuals with disabilities express themselves through art. You’ll find handcrafted cards and paintings from program clients. If you’re inspired to make your own art, you can also pick up art supplies in the store. In addition to the resident’s art, you’ll find local gems like hand poured soy candles from Range Candle Co, and whimsical range-centric gifts like a Hibbing/Chisholm-opoly board game and “The Hidden Treasure of the Sax-Zim Bog” children’s book.
Pebble Spa
Tucked inside Thunderbird Mall, Pebble Spa has more to offer than just massages. You’ll find some of the most chic clothing and accessories that the range has to offer, including boutique brands like Free People. And of course, there’s a huge selection of luxury bath and body products. Pick up self-care gifts for friends and maybe treat yourself to some self-love while you’re there!
