"This is the future of Afton. Great location, great people, great hang!!!"
- Ken Drake, July 2023
"The Giftery is such a cool boutique. They’ve got a really well-curated mix of western-style fashion, unique home decor, and some of the best gift items I’ve seen in Star Valley. One of the highlights was the authentic buffalo leather bags—super high quality and truly something you don’t come across often. The whole shop feels warm and inviting, and it’s right next to Swirl Frozen Yogurt and The Lofts on 89, so it’s a perfect little stop whether you’re visiting or local to Afton."

"We could not have happened upon a better place on my business trip in Afton. I was in the mood for ice cream. We stopped in and were immediately greeted with smiles. Not just from the owner but from people from the town. Chad and his wife were superb hosts. We immediately struck up a conversation and we're able to chat about similar interests. The raspberry and pineapple frozen yogurt mix was divine. My husband had the banana and vanilla mix which was his favorite..."

"This place is absolutely amazing! It feels incredible with amazing beds, decor, linens and furniture! Super high class but homey! Fits us perfectly and is so convenient to be in downtown Afton and especially right above a really good frozen yogurt parlor (Swirl) and clothes boutique! I’d recommend absolutely! Super awesome hosts too!"

"Brand new and so good! They have about 8 flavors, you pay a flat rate for a cup size and can fill it as much as you want with whatever toppings you want. Very clean and upbeat decor! Lots of bathroom stalls and the bathroom was very clean!"
