I reached out to the shop when I needed to purchase a last minute birthday gift for my boyfriend who is staying on the island. The shop owners were extremely helpful and very generous to help me get him a gift. However then the nightmare started.
After purchasing my birthday gifts and giving the owners my credit card information to do so, weeks later I saw numerous, over six charges on my credit card that were suspicious. I reached out to my bank and reported fraud for all of the charges which were shown under a suspicious name. Weeks later I started getting phone calls from the owners. I was in a work meeting and unable to answer and that’s when the harassing, demeaning, aggressive text messages started coming in. After speaking with the owners husband, it was made clear that the gift purchase was included in the fraud charges. I explained that I did approve the gift charge it should not be included in the dispute, and I contacted my bank immediately following this discussion and had it removed from the dispute.
More time goes by, I again get very harassing aggressive and terrible text messages from the owner. I assured them that I did follow through and remove the charge from the dispute, however I do not work for a bank and I am not sure how that gets processed or when. The owner continued to send more text messages I ended up having to block both of the owners at this point. I honestly am not sure if they made the additional fraud charges on my account following the gift purchase or not however I am working with my bank to make sure that I am not scammed, taken advantage of, and at this point I highly recommend you shopping anywhere else than the shop on the island.

I found this beautiful gift shop so appealing! It is located across from the pier where the cruise ships come into St Croix. In my opinion, unfortunately, much of the downtown area of Frederiksted buildings are in much need of repair, face lift, paint, and general up keep so this shop was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed visiting with Michelle the owner and was able to find some wonderful gifts to take home adding to my memorable trip to St Croix.

My wife and I have been to St. Croix and always stop in for a visit. The shop at one time and under different management had an English Bulldog named Franklin. Franklin was a mascot in the store and would greet customers and just lounge around. We were sad to hear that Franklin is no longer with us but he is missed by many who stop by Franklin's on the Waterfront.
The shop has many unique items, some expensive, some inexpensive, basically something for everyone. It's a great shop close to the cruise port and worth a visit. I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed stopping into this shop! They have a great selection of fun stuff. From cigars to tea towels they have some really fun upscale souvenirs. It’s worth stopping in.

I am not a snobby kind of Cigar smoker, I like what I like and do not pay much attention to ratings in fancy cigar magazines that give ratings based on the amount of $ a company pays to advertise in said magazine. With saying that I feel my review is one based on total experience with no impartial judgment. I bought two cigars from Ms. Paula, a CLE Connecticut for my wife and a My Fathers La Gran Oferta for myself.
In my opinion an establishment that sells cigar should know the importance of humidity and the role it plays in storing cigars. Ms. Paula attention to this detail is obvious because it was perfect. Now I did not smoke these cigars immediately, I like putting new cigars in my humidor and giving them time to acclimate to my taste. Now by saying that I am not saying I would not have smoked them immediately after purchase but my daily activity did not allow it this time because again, the humidity in Ms. Paula’s humidor is spot on. The selection she has is small but growing and perfect for someone like myself who isn’t afraid to venture from my regular daily brand. She was knowledgeable and helpful and not pushy. My wife and I smoked our cigars this morning and were thrilled. My wife and I were members of several cigar clubs before moving here so we aren’t newbies. By far it has been the best place on island to find good quality and properly humidified cigars. We were very surprised that the cost of the cigars matched the ones mainland. Great experience!

F'sted is on the upswing with the opening of new restaurants, shops, & hotels (still some restoration to be finished compliments of María). One excellent example is this treasure of a find & the proprietor, Paula, is a hoot. We could go broke in there but ended up buying crazy bar napkins for home & two piece of sea glass & twisted ornaments, 1 a butterfly as a gift & 1 a moko jumbie for our Christmas tree. Please make this unique store a must stopas you enjoy F'sted.

Found this beautiful store while exploring Fredericksted. This is not a typical souvenir store, but rather a gift shop filled with gorgeous & unique items at great prices. The owner, Steven, was so sweet and friendly. He even put us in contact with his friend who makes sea glass ornaments and jewelry. If going to St. Croix, this store is a must see!

We were exploring Frederiksted, and everything seemed to have closed when Franklin's said they'd stay open late for us. Truly awesome people we never felt rushed and found amazing gifts: shirts, tea towels, silver, Chaney to take home. Loved this place - great find!!!
