Everyone knows that person who is impossible to shop for. They are into "unusual" things and you never know what to get them. Reptile Gardens has plenty of unique gifts, especially for animal, art and history lovers.
The unusual gifts are true collector's items. They have been hand picked by Reptile Gardens' CEO, Joe Maierhauser, and brought back to share with South Dakotans.
You can find interesting pieces like New Guinea tribal masks, primitive weapons and colorful collages filled with farmed butterfly specimens. How about a stunning large photograph taken in New Guinea by Joe Maierhauser? All these items would be a wonderful addition to any art collection. They could also be used to decorate any wall in your house.
More traditional gifts are also available. There is an entire collection of intricate and beautiful hand woven scarves. These fashionable scarves come in every shade and color and will keep you warm all winter long. There is a large assortment of beads for the beader on your list; or beautiful and collectible fossils and mineral specimens.
The gift shop has many other various items like toys, stuffed animals, books and apparel that children love. The books are educational and fun to read.
Some of our gifts are available online. To view our full inventory and find your perfect holiday gift, stop by Reptile Gardens — they are located just south of Rapid City on Hwy. 16.
