Established in 1989.
Simply Northwest was founded in May of 1989 as a home-based gift basket service with the purpose of helping companies acknowledge and show appreciation for their employees and clients for a variety of occasions. The business grew quickly and soon required a warehouse space for storage and assembly. As demand rose from non-corporate clientele, opening a gift boutique in 1994 at the current location in Spokane Valley, WA was a natural next step. In 2011, after five years as the previous owner’s retail manager, Denielle Waltermire-Stuhlmiller purchased Simply Northwest, excited to carry on the long-standing tradition of personalized service and attention to detail. Denielle and her team take the time to get to know you; when you request that they create something special for your clients, friends, or family, you can trust that every gift feels like it came directly from you. Simply Northwest’s mission is to make gift giving easy!

Denielle S.
Business Owner
Denielle, Simply Northwest owner and gift designer, didn’t plan to become a shop owner and entrepreneur. After graduating from college with a business degree, she worked in retail for a while but burned out on the schedule and corporate constraints on creativity. She briefly returned to school at Eastern Washington University earning her bachlors degree in Social Work, and then took on part-time work at Simply Northwest. Suddenly, she found herself engaged with retail in a new and exciting way. Able to spread her creative wings by merchandising the store in a personal way, the time at Simply Northwest flew by. When the opportunity arose to purchase the business five years later, she took a deep breath and signed on the dotted line!
