We love Gifts That Last - and have visited every time we make a trip to Madison - the Owner Alan and his wife are SUPER nice and interesting to talk to - if you are looking for something in particular they will bend over backward to help you - we spend at LEAST an hour in GTL every time we stop as there are so many interesting things to look at - stones and rocks, jewelry - spiritual and musical items, clothing - you never know what you will find...

Read moreI can honestly say that Gifts that Last is my favorite shop in Madison! They carry a vast selection of crystals and stones for a decent price (You can even find smaller stones for fifty cents a piece!).

Overall, it’s a wonderful place that I highly recommend for tourists and...
