I’ve been coming to this gift store since I was a kid and it never disappoints. We got the coolest tide clock for my moms new beach house housewarming present, some shells, and funny socks for my husband. Not many stores can do all that but this one can!

A terrific, fun gift shop full of unique art and odds and ends. You can find jewelry, art, barware, wall art, ceramics, and a slew of random fun and funny gifts for friends and family. Every year we go to the Cape over the summer and every year we stop by Yankee Ingenuity cause there's always new things to see. It's fun, stop in and give a look.

Check your bag before leaving store to ensure what you thought you bought is what you got (& before you give it as a gift!) A young gentleman helped me buy 2 lighted color jellyfish glass items at $42 each and we spoke about it changing colors. I left the Cape and drove 3 states away and gave the gift bag to a friend only to be totally embarrassed that it was "glow in the dark"/ not color changing on its own and base was not included. I called store and found out that base was another $19 each! The store agreed to send a return shipping label for both glass items (& now I wonder if that would have been deducted from my refund.) However, my friend was so gracious and wanted to remove my embarrassment and she displayed the piece and threw out the box. So I couldn't return it. I emailed back the part owner with idea of discounting 2 bases and shipping free. Their response was 20% off the additional cost AND that I could pay for $18 shipping (to friend's address and my home.) Are they kidding me?? I need to pay more for what the product I was talking about with clerk AND now shipping to correct HIS mistake? I think the required base at their cost and free shipping would have been fair. I would not have bought the item at total cost of $60. If their staff doesn't know their product, that is not my fault and situation was handled totally inappropriately. The very least they could have done was pay shipping to correct their staff's mistake. Forget it. I went online and got same brand name base cheaper than their token 20% off the base AND I got free shipping. So much for their customer service making a situation right. I should have gone on-line to begin with! So check your bag to make sure what you think you bought is indeed it!
