Welcome to our “One of a Kind” old fashioned mom and pop gift shop. We’re Steve (Smelly) and Brenda Collier, the owners of “The Smelly Gourmet” which is located in Metamora, IN, an 1838 Canal Town.

If you have made it this far, you have already gotten the impression that “Smelly” is a breed of his own! Yes, Smelly is one unusual character! Without “Smelly” the Smelly Gourmet would just be an unmemorable, boring store. Believe it or not, Smelly was not always “Smelly”! In his past life he spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy Submarine Force. Yep, he went from being called a “NUKE Bubblehead” to “Smelly”.

We are known for being the most unique and unusual gift shop in town due to “Smelly’s” unusual geek gifts, magnets, our family grown popcorn as well as our amazing carmel corn, russian tea and chili mix. We also create beautiful stain glass sun catchers and macrame items.

Most of our products can’t be found anywhere else on the planet! Why? because we come up with our own “off the wall” ideas! We love coming up with unusual things. We are never out of ideas, only time. We post many of our new creations while in progress on Facebook and now we are selling them here on Etsy.

Thank you for checking out our Etsy Store. Many items are being added so come back and see what’s new.
