Postcards and glass gift sets with charming figures of potatoes and tofu, a Gangneung specialty, are popular goods that are adored for their vibrant design and low costeffectiveness. Props depicting scallops in the Gangneung Sea are also very popular. When you see scallop merchandise like ballpoint pens, griptoks, hand mirrors, and hair brushes, you could think you're at a mermaid store. Although they all include the form of a scallop, the products as well as their materials and features differ widely, with each one having its own distinct personality.
Isn't a great gift something you'd be delighted to receive even if you were hesitant to spend money on it for yourself? Why not offer a lovely prop carrying Gangneung's originality at the 'Anmok Station Gift Shop'?

What's the simplest way to bring a piece of the sea home from Gangneung? 'Glass Bead Play (Yuhee),' which features waves in a piece of glass, is a well-known unique accessory shop on Gangmun Beach.
Glass crafts are the 'Glass Bead Play"s emblematic product. Among walking lamp, stained glass and sea glass, which is glass bottle shards that people have thrown out in the sea, the sea glass is the most popular. This piece of sea glass, created by rolling and shaving fragments of glass in the waves and sea breeze for a long period, reflects our time when the sharp edges are blurred by the winds of the world. When the sun catcher is held up to the light, the glitter of the fishing line and the coarse texture of the branches can be observed.
'Glass Bead Play' does not venture too far forward, but it dreams of coexistence with the sea, which is attainable in the current situation.

Put an end to your rowing! The rowing phrase 'oars' implies to pause and surrender your body to the waves. When you open the little iron door to the second story, the brand color green and blue tiles cross to form waves on the steep steps. The inside of 'Oars' is serene and welcoming. First and foremost, landscape postcards and posters featuring Kim Na-heum's wonderful imagination attract people's gaze.
All of the pieces featured on the gallery walls can be purchased. 'Oars' chose all of the wines on display, and a brief description and recommendations for eateries in Gangneung that pair well with the wines were included. Gangneung is regarded with great fondness in 'Oars'. There are illustrations of Gangneung's landscape, a bowl holding the waves of the East Sea, a cup carrying sea fog, and most recently, a vase containing the sea beloved by 'Oars' were created in conjunction with 'UNS', a home goods design firm.
We can't wait to see what the future holds for 'Oars,' since it has no intention of sparing any new attempts in collaborating with other companies

Director Leiter and his dog Byeori operate the 'Postcard Office' with the theme of a post office. The place is full of mascot-themed items such as postcards, posters, key chains, magnets, and eco bags.
The inside is a comfortable shade of dark green, reminiscent of a post office from a fairy tale. All of the tales coming out of this place is heartwarming. Specifically, the items comprising Gangneung landscapes rendered with the sensibility of the 'Post Card Office' are like a message of greeting to you. In addition to the original illustrations, it is a delight to see various brand items and works hand-picked by the owner. Let's create unforgettable memories by utilizing the '7 Year Postbox' service, which distributes postcards in the year and month of your choosing when you send a letter after purchasing a postcard and writing a message.
The ethos of the ‘Postcard Office,’ which emphasizes the value of limited spare time, is shown by the 10 minute delay in opening its door. If you are able to comprehend this joy, it is as if you have already gotten a letter from the ‘Postcard Office.’
