Compass Rose greets you with pleasantries aplenty. From cute and quirky gifts for baby, to unique and beautiful jewelry and even high-end cookware, you can mark nearly everyone off your list.

Then. You. Have. To. Wrap.

The employees at Compass Rose in downtown Olympia are happy to wrap any purchase.

Yes!

They are so happy in fact, they once made a "wrap" video where a patron comes in the store asking if they wrap, and a few of the lady employees began busting out rhymes about finding the perfect gift, Northwest style, and of course, wrapping gifts.

"We're even bringing an extra person on just for gift wrapping this season," says Liz Van Dyke, employee.

"Cuppow is our favorite thing right now," says Van Dyke. "It's quintessential for Oly because it's an adult sippy cup lid for mason jars! And for around $10 it's the perfect white elephant or stocking stuffer."

Van Dyke underscores their love of the product by pointing out a Christmas tree decorated in Cuppows. It's adorable.

Another gift idea Compass Rose is excited about is their French line of cast iron cookware, which comes in a variety of bright bold colors. It's on the higher end of gift giving at $100-$400, but well worth the smiles and delicious meals to be had. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

Compass Rose isn't afraid to wrap. Any size purchase can be wrapped. Compass Rose has a variety of wrapping paper such as Christmas sweater print and earth tones, and colorful shiny ribbons to reflect your style or gift.
