With all of the shopping opportunities in Branson, the Christmas season presents numerous opportunities to find the perfect gift for all of your loved ones.
Historic downtown Branson provides shoppers with a myriad of shops that have unique gift items for even the person that seems to have everything. Dick’s Old Time 5 & 10 on Main Street is one of those unique shops and is said to be a “step back in time.” Ever since its opening, Dick’s Old Time 5 & 10 has been different and eclectic. Over 175,000 items live in this Branson landmark, including gifts, souvenirs, toys, games, household gadgets, toiletries, linens, sewing notions, yarn, greeting cards, crafts, and hard-to-find old-time candy. The interesting mix takes on a museum like feel with the toy train collection and collection of sports memorabilia. The Baseball Hall of Fame includes autographed photos from famous players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Cy Young, Ty Cobb, and more. There are also photos of Michael Jordan and other starters from the Chicago Bulls’ championship teams, Muhammed Ali, and Jack Dempsey. Dick’s is also home to a collection of arrowheads from the area. You can rediscover some of your favorites from your childhood and give your own kids a taste of yesteryear with candies like Slo-Pokes and Turkish Taffy.
