The 10 Best Gift & Specialty Shops in Key West, Florida (FL)
Does time ever pass in the Florida Keys? Everyone and everything in Key West seems to go at its own pace, right down to the ice melting slooooowly in your margarita glass. Of course, it’s not all limes and leisure – Key West is known as the “Winter White House” because of its appeal to visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. The diving here is phenomenal, as is the kid-friendly Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center.

This lovely shop has a variety of delightful items, including a beyond-my-budget necklace that I asked to see. The employee who helped me couldn't have been more gracious when I realized how much the necklace was. She complimented my taste and provided the jewelry designer's name so I could research her. In effect, she treated me like I COULD afford the bracelet. My visit to Besame Mucho was a welcome change from feeling out of place in some shops. The staff having this wonderful attitude during such a busy tourist season is a miracle.

We rented a golf cart overnight here while in Key West. They also rent out scooters. The price was exactly what was on their website, fair, and there were no hidden charges. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They pick you up at your hotel and shuttle you to the rental place then shuttle you back after you drop off the rental equipment. It was very convenient. Flipper gave us a map and told us a lot of things we should check out while in Key West. He also gave us a lot of useful information about the area. Definitely rent a scooter or golf cart if you're in Key West and go to this place.

After 15 years we returned to Key West and were eager to see if one of our favorite shops was still there. We were thrilled to find it open and thriving and had so much fun tasting the different hot sauces and rubs offered up by Halli. She was so pleasant and knowledgeable we asked if we could take her pic and ended up buying a bunch of sauces to take home. Peppers is a must visit if you are in Key West!

We stopped in because of some nice items in the windows. We were so pleased to speak with Carl, who shared fascinating information about the history of the store’s founder, and about emeralds in general. Indeed, I took the opportunity to ask every question I’ve ever had about emeralds, and received a great education! Two or three days later I returned and purchased one of their charming cat pendants, in silver, with tiny emerald eyes. At that visit I was helped by Sally, who was also very nice and helpful, and found the perfect chain for the pendant. At no time were we rushed. I highly recommend Emeralds International!
