About The Alaska Gift Company:

We are a family of local Alaskans who have several stores in Denali. The stores carry an assortment of jewelry, custom knives, alpaca accessories, custom wood carvings, souvenirs, etc. We have unique items that allow visitors to commemorate their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska. But it's more than the stuff... it's the people that make us different.

Most of our employees are returning - but we are looking for a couple more . Specifically we look for some unique, fun folks who want to explore and discover the meaning of life, as we greet travelers on their journeys.  

Travel:

• Fairbanks International Airport is the closest to Denali (about 2 hours away). We can pick you up from the airport and get you to Denali. 

• Drive the ALCAN highway. We’ve had several folks do this. But we would only recommend it for those who have a good deal of experience and have planned well in advance.
