Welcome to Evelyn & Harriette’s Gifts,
located in the historic Oley Valley.
We carry unique and quality gifts from around the world and close to home. We strive to offer quality, value, and outstanding customer service. This website is designed to provide a glimpse of the range of products we have to offer, and we have many more items at our store. We hope you will visit us and discover what makes us different. We enjoy visitors, and you will get a warm greeting, and the stories that give our gifts their special value.
We look for the story.
We seek out items that are unique, and have both quality and value. Most importantly, we look for the story. Whether it’s the game invented by a mother for her visually impaired son, the pottery hand-painted in the Mexican tradition revived by the artist’s father (Gorky Pottery), or the antics of the Aunties inspired by two neighbors of the Finnish artist Inge Löök, the stories add something special to the gifts we give those we love.
About Us
Evelyn and Harriette’s Gifts was started in 2001 to be the showroom for furniture manufactured by our family business in Oley, Pennsylvania. The store quickly took on its own character as we added items first from local artisans, and then from around the world. We retired from the furniture business in 2008, as Evelyn & Harriette’s Gifts came into its own by reflecting some core beliefs:
- Nice things do not have to be expensive
- Many outstanding products go unnoticed by most stores
- Sometimes the real gems are right here in our own backyard
- A true gift comes from the heart, not the pocketbook
- A good toy stimulates experimentation, imagination, and creativity
- Play is learning
- The child should do the playing, not the toy
- The value of a toy comes from lasting use, not fads, trends, or “must have” hype

A puppet is more than just a toy. It’s a storyteller, a best friend, a dragon, a princess, a pirate, or whatever a child’s imagination dreams up. ✨
Our puppet collection is filled with characters ready for adventures, story time, classroom activities, and plenty of laughter. They’re a wonderful way to encourage creativity, build confidence, and inspire imaginative play without a screen in sight.
