This wonderful local shop has been my go-to shopping for special occasions and personal items for years. Artisanal, eco friendly, and ethically produced home goods, jewelry, kid’s gifts, and just all sorts of unique and high-quality, always affordable…goods!

GOODs' good things come in a small package real estate wise! Think "...global and local textiles, pottery and succulent arrangements, ... organic baby gifts, unique jewelry pieces made by local artists, ...repurposed billboard wallets" And so much more, do explore GOODs' website, better yet stop by and browse. GOODs is an ideal shop to find a perfect hostess gift unless you share my recent dilemma: a lunch invitation from my hubby's acquaintance and his wife, a couple I have never met therefore an event that rendered me clueless as to what to bring all the while my mother's voice in my head on a loop admonishing, "Good guests never arrive empty handed!" Flowers? I love flowers but as a hostess, receiving flowers can interrupt the entertaining rhythm; can't just let that bouquet sit, must find the right vase and then there's the arranging while the puff pastry burns. Please bring flowers to established friends' gatherings only then offer to do the arranging. Scented candle? Like I said, have never met this couple. What if the fragrance triggers an allergy and while on the topic of allergies, food, chocolate, nuts could be problematic? Same goes for wine; do they even drink? Any and all of the aforementioned non-perishables could definitely be re-gifted as well as any fine GOODs' gift I selected but I remained stymied. SO I did the only logical thing my pea-brain could think of, I gifted myself - IZIPIZI sunglasses in grey cuz it's completely neutral - totally THE best, well constructed, inexpensive shades ever! AND this manufacturer also makes classy readers of identical quality both with frames in muted go with everything in your wardrobe colors. Service is gracious, knowledgeable! One-hour free parking on the south side of Ocean Park Boulevard and free two-hour parking on the Boulevard's north side west of 17th Street but please read signage to avoid an unpleasant, pricey ticket. GOODs, once I know these folks better (color schemes, interior design, likes) I'll be back, perhaps prior because I was completely impressed AND there's always my fave kind of shopping, one for them, one for me.

I just visited Goods for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. Such a cute shop! There were things for everyone, baby, husband, wife, and everything was so tastefully displayed. I recommend this shop for anyone looking for a unique gift. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

I agree with the previous reviewers--this is a wonderful little shop. They carry beautiful and unique gifts at many price points, such as small pottery vases and pitchers, bath soaps, bags, scarves, and lovely jewelry by local artists. They also have a small children's section, and letterpress greeting cards. I have also found the people who work here to be helpful and friendly. It's a perfect addition to the neighborhood.

Came here because I was having an emergency turkish towel need on my way to the beach. Not only were my towel needs met and exceeded, there were so many delightful things lovingly curated in this small store. I especially loved discovering beautiful simple graphic scarves and hand crafted jewelery. Also so happy to see the Masumoto's new and gorgeous peach recipe picture book featured here. Amazing and delicious family stories of farming, cooking and community. There was a woman there while I browsed who was buying gifts for two friends with birthdays. That is one super nice friend!

Great resource for one-of-a-kind gifts. This store has the best creative kids toys! Many of them are wooden and/or hand made and they seem to be chosen for their "play value". They also have a good selection of jewelry (made by local artists) and other gift items. Whenever I need a unique gift, this is where I go.

This is a gorgeous store with wonderful owners who are always ever so helpful. They wrap everything beautifully so that each gift is made extra special. Though petite this colorful shop has things for men, women, and children. There is a modern slant to the selections though also a folk art/craft influence with things from around the world. Lovely jewelery, perfume, totes, turkish towels, and more. I no longer live in California and yet still get many gifts here. GOODS is a great find.

Cutest little store with a variety of truly interesting, non mass-marketed items at various price points. Great for gift-giving... even if you're giving gifts to yourself!

I go here whenever I need an awesome gift. This shop is a curated collection of home goods, accessories, and body products. There is a range of pricepoints, and the owner (who has a design background) is kind and helpful. Whether you need something practical or magical, GOODS is worth checking into.

Two of the nicest entrepreneurial women I've ever met cultivating a collection of mindfully-made products for the home, bath, and body. LOVE GOODs!
