“I've been gifted several of these lovely soy candles so I was excited when I spotted their storefront in San Francisco. I especially like their candles that come in a tin and they were on sale when I visited so I happily picked up a new one. I chose Dusk which they describe as: 8pm. Damp leaves, crisp air, powder and spice on a clear night. Woody, cool, and earthy. Black pepper, clary sage, palo santo, and blooming iris. I can't wait to smell this scent wafting through my home.If you're looking for a gift I highly recommend one of their 10 ounce soy candles from the Sunset collection paired with a pretty book of matches.”
“I love post.script. for a lot of different reasons. It’s such a pretty shop, I love the white walls, that allows all of the colorful items for sale to really pop! The intimate store is also laid out nicely, with many items, easy to see and reach comfortably. And then, the items! It’s such a thoughtful, interesting collection of things for sale, you’re sure to find a great present for your special person. It’s also a small business, locally owned and locally popular. With lots of fun events, I’ve been to a few and made some great connections. Chandler has made a special place that adds to the fun of exploring Filmore Street.”
“If you haven't stopped into Jessica's shop on Union Street, do yourself a favor and do it soon. It's not just a great spot for beautiful and unique gifts, but the know-customers-by-name small town vibe is just fantastic.”
“ATYS we have loved for many years, since living in the city moving to the East Bay, still go back there for inspiration. Among many great stores still in existence, like Japonesque in Jackson Square, Sanko Kitchen Essentials or Flora Grubb for plants, San Francisco still has it!”

“I had driven by Routes Gallery many times and always wondered what it was; today I was waiting for someone shopping next door at United so I decided to check it out. Routes has such a spacious and peaceful outdoor area with an assortment of plants and Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Step inside and be immersed in more art and culture. There were Tibetan prayer flags, sage, bamboo, crystals, beads, and more. The singing bowls caught my attention. The owner of Routes was at the gallery; he was so friendly and I appreciated that he took time to talk to me and share his knowledge of the different bowls (they had metal and crystal). While I didn't buy anything on this visit to Routes, I enjoyed browsing the gallery and taking in the energy. I'll definitely be back!”
“Botanicalife is located a few steps from the Lark Theatre in downtown Larkspur. The store is filled with interesting books, beautiful housewares, handmade soups, crystals, art, locally crafted jewelry, assortment of bulk teas, unique houseplants and many handcrafted items created by local artist. Visiting the store is a delightful way to spend time and shop for gifts or something special for yourself while spending an afternoon in Larkspur. An added bonus is delightful, complimentary gift wrap.”
“Charming store that I fell in love with! Great for one-of-a-kind gifts. A magical place fill of treasures that delight both the eyes and senses. Something for everyone: handmade jewelry, sensual, comfy yoga clothes, to soaps, kitchenware, and earthy toys, and ornaments. A treasure trove of Earthly Delights.”
“This store is probably one of my favorite places ever... I have been going there since childhood, so it retains a lot of nostalgia for me, but the overall quality and customer service has remained the same. Every time I go to collect more shells, the staff is always super friendly and willing to help me find what I am looking for. I have been thrilled to find so many treasures here! It's a Pier 39 treasure itself!”
“I love this place! Quality oils that I can only get from here. I recently bought some oil to be shipped. There was a problem with the shipping fee which they immediately fixed and included an incense gift and a really nice note! Love their oils and their customer service. Highly recommend this little gem!”

“Please can I give a 10 to the staff for friendliness? It is so refreshing to be greeted by someone that enjoys their job and really wants to be at work, The person that greeted me was so genuine that it was refreshing, while there are other hot sauce stores that have a larger selection, this location has more than enough to satisfy most people. Prices were very reasonable. Would shop here again.”

“This gift shop in downtown Sausalito is one of the better stores, featuring local souvenirs with "Sausalito" emblazoned on them, and also fun products from around world like Studio Ghibli stuff and Adventures with Tin Tin books and gifts! It's a BIG store -- take some time to check out all the nooks of this shop! Prices ranges here depending on what item -- but there's something for everyone here. Staff are not intrusive and generally will service you at the check-out counter.”
“Lovely mix of practical and whimsical items, lovely owner. Love the selection of North Bay Candle Co candles, as well as unique jewelry and clothing. My go to for gifts all year round!”
“Great service from the business owners. Best place to get any traditional Mexican artisan crafts. Anything from Mexican wrestlers masks to Día de los Muertos crafts, and many more items... Mixcoatl IS THE HEART OF THE MISSION!”
“Such a beautifully curated store full of wonder and discovery. There's something new at every corner which makes you want to linger forever. The plants are healthy and unique. What a hidden gem!”
“I spent so long in this store that I wanted to buy everything. It's like a toy store for adults with books, stationeries, souvenirs, and everything in between. They are colourful and quirky (some). They remind us there are beautiful things called art out there that are worth our longing.”
“Amazing gift shop for traditional Chinese souvenirs and clothes!We went around Chinatown looking for a tiny Chinese coin purse and came across many places where the quality and price were not worth it. However at this shop, the prices were extremely affordable and quality was better than anything we have seen.We really liked looking through all the Chinese decor, clothing and souvenirs. The store owner was very friendly and welcoming.We came in looking for a $1 coin purse and left with $100 worth of merchandise. Extremely satisfied!”
“Don't know why but this little shop here is got my interest I'm going to come back tomorrow maybe we should be open to get some neat little salt and pepper shakers but pay attention to the mural on the side”
“Good selection of mahjong tiles, including multiple sizes, pattern colors and ones with Arabic numerals. I thought they would be expensive, marked-up for being in the center of a touristy area, but they were very reasonably priced. The staff were so nice and helpful. Will definitely return to buy more sets for friends!”
“Always a pleasure working with the guys here! If you don't find what you're looking for they will make sure to have it next time you come in! Always willing to help with anything you purchase from their store! Make you feel like you're family! I come across 6 cities, pass up 10 + other shops to visit this smoke shop and will only do business with them! Very knowledgeable about product and reasonable pricing!”
“Just the most charming little shop. Some beautiful artisanal pieces, both useful, elegant, and vintage. It fits in perfectly with the other shops on this block, perfect for finding a special gift for a loved one or treating yourself. See y’all there.”
“I really like this place on the corner of Haight & Ashbury across from the iconic Ben & Jerry's ice cream store. On what is part of the cornerstone of SF culture, this store run by an artist collective acts also as a visitor center for the neighborhood. After visiting this store and seeing their designs I am convinced that the Haight needs to be a bigger part of the tourist scene from the 60's culture to famous nearby homes of Jerry Garcia and Janice Joplin to film scenes from Antman and When a Man Loves a Woman, this store is a wealth of information. But more importantly I think their T-Shirts and other fun stuff make better looking gifts that what I have seen in all my years of living in SF. In fact some stores are beginning to carry their designs. Check it out, inhale the aroma that is the Haight and shop this creative and amazing store. The staff are also very well informed so ask them anything you'd like. Tell all your tourist friends to come here.”
“What a nifty store full of oddities. Lost track of time as I browsed around since there is always some other cool looking treasure to be found. Would recommend popping in to see what you can find too!”

“The best gift shop! Fun knick Knacks, creative designs of random everyday objects, books, accessories, home goods, journals and stationary etc for people of all ages at reasonable prices. Helpful staff and a sense of community. Spend over $5 to use debit / credit cards.”
“Through Reddit, I learned that this unassuming, eccentric little shop offered aura photography. It isn’t well advertised. I asked the shopkeeper if my boyfriend and I could get our aura photo taken together and was taken to a back room.The process was very fast, and I think it cost around $25. She didn’t do a deep reading or analysis. She just showed me a piece of paper on how to interpret my photo. I really wanted the photo and didn’t need the analysis so I didn’t care about getting a deeper reading ?”
“(Translated by Google) The gentleman who attends is too kind, knows the pieces perfectly, makes very good suggestions and the best: he has unique pieces! The lovers of these brands must visit it. Highly recommended!”

“The perfect place to visit during El Dia de los Muertos. They have practically everything, including sugar skulls, ceramic skulls and altar ornaments. Their skeleton figurine collection is impressive.”
