Wilderness Reflections is a distinctive Kansas City gift store specializing in
wildlife and and American Indian gifts and jewelry. The concept for a wildlife
gift store was conceived while we were on vacation to scenic areas of Colorado
and Utah in April and early May of 1999. We opened our store in July of 1999 in
the historic Westport district of Kansas City, Missouri. Our original store was
known as Wilderness Reflections Gallery. It carried a beautiful array of
wildlife art and collectibles, and occupied a modest 640 sq.ft.
After 18 months of slow business, an opportunity came for us to move to a
higher traffic area within the Crown Center Shops (home of Hallmark Cards)
about 2 miles away. We packed up our merchandise and in January of 2001 moved
Wilderness Reflections Gallery to a store of comparable size on the first floor
of Crown Center.
The spot we moved into at Crown Center had previously been occupied by the
American Indian Store. Since the American Indian Store had been in Crown Center
for many years, we wanted to try to continue to cater to its clientele. We
believed that American Indian merchandise would fit well with wildlife gifts,
so we added Indian gifts and jewelry to our product lines. This decision proved
to be a wise one, as our Indian product lines did extremely well.
In the spring of 2003, we learned that a nature store on the third floor of
Crown Center would be closing. We had the opportunity to "move up in the world"
into a space nearly three times that of our first floor location. With the
departure of the nature store, and with additional floor space to expand, we
brought in children's plush animals, science and nature toys, and an extensive
selection of minerals and fossils from around the world.
Our goal is to provide top quality wildlife, American Indian, and nature gifts
at reasonable prices. We also hope to work in more time to develop our website
so more of what is available in the store can be purchased online.
It has been a delight getting to know many of you who either live in the area,
or visit our store when you have occasion to be in Kansas City. Please contact
us if you have any questions about products or we can help you find a special
gift. We would love to be of service.
