This Venice gem is ahead of the game when it comes to supplying fabulous gifts and beautiful housewares. I buy presents at Tortoise General Store (TGS) for EVERYONE: children, friends, parents etc. TGS was started by Keiko and Taku Shinomoto, a husband and wife team from Tokyo, Japan. Each hand picked item is either designed or manufactured in their native land, which gives every piece a special, unique quality. The big bonus is that on occasion, if your lucky, you can participate in one of their extraordinary events. In the past these have included a Soba Workshop, Floral Workshop, Handweaving Workshop and a Wood Carving Class. This is absolutely one of my favorite stores in Venice - Be sure to race on over the next time you need that special something for someone (or yourself!!)
