Love that I can support a fantastic local business via online shopping and local delivery! I am being extra picky about my excursions out of the house during the pandemic, but I can still buy fun things and great gifts at Alair. I know that a lot of work goes into having in-person AND online shopfronts, so major appreciation to this shop.

The owner was super friendly to us and our dog. She offered him a treat and there was a dog water bowl outside. There were so many cute patches, pins, cards, wall hangings, etc! I left with the parfum and also left wanting so much more.

Want to fall in love with a store? Go here. Set aside an hour and get ready to smile, laugh, get nostalgic and buy all the things. The only thing better than the store is the owner. And the only thing better than the owner is Dylan the shop dog. RUN, DONT WALK, to Alair.

They have an amazing collection of unique cards and merchandise. If you sign up for the newsletter they do spotlights on some of the makers of the products they carry. Great staff and COVID-19 precautions are in place so everyone is protected but still able to enjoy the shop.

Had a great experience! The person working helped me look for my lost wallet over the phone and even went outside to look for it on the sidewalk. I will definitely be back!

The employees were really helpful finding stocking stuffers for Christmas, but they have amazing gifts for year round. Most products are from womxn owned and/or locally owned businesses, and the quality of their products shows across the entire store. Theres a solid mix of kooky, fun gifts and heartfelt gifts. A great stop for that person you are stuck on for theur birthday or a holiday.

OBSESSED with this store! The selection of greeting cards is amazing, one for every occasion. Also love the Estrella bath and body selections of body butter and bath salts (all vegan and local). The owner is super wonderful and is always willing to help in finding the perfect gift.

Alair is the best freaking store ever. Shandon does an amazing job curating unique, local products that will have you giggling and noticing something new with every lap around the store. I could spend hours in here. Plus, Dylan the shop dog is the absolute cutest and sweetest pup! ❤️ By far the best gift shop in the area for cards, gifts, and everything else you might possibly need.

Seriously the best gift shop ever. I’m always able to find something unique and specific to any friend, occasion or situation.

Come visit, I am certain you’ll find something amazing.

This is one of the best shops in West Seattle hands down. The array of quirky and fun gift ideas range from the Perfect b-day card to baby items, jewelry and so much more. One stroll through the shop will have you giggling with delight - its impossible to walk away without a smile. You MUST check it out if you are in the area!

Fantastic gift store! Visiting family here in Seattle and Im from the Midwest. Great selection of small batch local made in America items and gifts. Hilariously wonderful selection of unique gift items! Not your typical tourist shop - great selection of Seattle gifts as well. The owner is fabulous!! Love that she supports local artists.

LOVE.THIS.STORE. Full warning, you will spend all of your money because its amazing. If you need a gift for ANYONE in your life you will find it at Alair. Youll also find all the things you didnt know you needed. Shandon, the owner, does a great job of stocking locally made items as well so its a lot of fun to support this business!

These are unprecedented times and its hard to know how to support one another. My sister in law has Down Syndrome and is a brittle diabetic. Shes been isolated since the beginning of all this in order to keep her healthy. Shandon just opened her doors to Monika yesterday so she could shop before the store opened to the public. Monika prefers to communicate through cards and they are also very much her love language. She had time to herself to look through each one at Alair and find the next two months of cards for our family and friends. All our gratitude Shandon!! You are a gem in this community.

This is one of my favorite places to go when I need a gift. The only downside is I always wind up finding a bunch of stuff for myself too in the process! The girls who work here are always great at helping me find stuff, too.

I found this shop on Instagram and ordered a few things online. In the chaos of COVID-19 my package was lost in the mail. They were soooo responsive and honest and went above and beyond to fix the situation. I hope to visit the shop in person someday!

Owner Shandon is a pure heart of amazing woman owned businesses in West Seattle. Expect to the overloaded with friendly customer service, and the perfect gift for anyone for every occasion. Blown away by the wide variety of locally made bath products, tees, mugs, trinkets, Jewelry, greeting cards and so much more. She is always getting new arrivals of products and giving the local support right back to the community by buying from small batch companies and local artists. Check out Sea + Pine purses and Nordy made Jewelry to be showcased some of the best creative talent in West Seattle. Must see stop in West Seattle! You are AWESOME Shandon!
