This establishment has been around for many decades, so glad to still c it thriving. But, It's…read morebeen years since being in a Things Remembered, I usually come here for big work event or celebration presents that need quick professional personalization. They have really up'd their variety of personalized items, such great wide selection now, in which most can b ready in an hour. They still have their old school traditional snow globes that wind and play music, glass ware & flask, professional pens, clocks, office desk & wall decor, picture frames, wedding gifts, award plaques, etc. What I found new & amazing is the wide selection of sterling silver & gold plated jewelry (necklaces & bracelets) with different stones & cubic zirconia diamonds, lots to chose from, great styles for all ages, infant to senior citizens. Plus, they have great variety of colors and sizes of water containers (Ex.- hiking style hydro flasks)that can b personalized too... I got a beautiful heart charm & necklace for daughters bday, I personalized it- and Thank U to Mitzi for all Ur help and patience in making this beautiful & unique "forever" present, it's a small heart and Mitzi erasures me I could put daughters 5 letter name on front side and Mom on back side, I was extremely surprised & very impressed how the outcome turned out. And I didn't come in for this originally but saw the jewelry and couldn't resist. Something else that quickly caught my eye too was the personalized sewn afghans, baby blankets, quilts, teddy bears, travel to gym bags & totes, unsure what the turn around time is for these to be sewn & personalized, but I'm almost sure it's not an hour. The store is well organized & clean. And enough staff during this busy Graduation & Fathers Day season. All the staff were easy to talk to & knowledgeable about their store products which made shopping easy, fast, and less stressful. Prices for the variety of great gifting items were affordable, especially with store promos of B1G1 half off or another deal B1 jewelry G1 keepsake box of Ur choice for free. I ended up giving my friend who is retiring (original reason for coming in) the free keepsake box since I bought my daughters necklace, such a great savings of $25. BUT as expected, the personalization is costly, I spent $33 for personalizing my friends keepsake box, and $27 for daughters charm, but sooo worth the unique surprise for loved ones. There is also, a club card to earn points and free money for future purchases for only $5 a year, after seeing the many new unique items & my favorite -the jewelry. I joined instantly and already have an idea of my next purchases. I'm definitely excited about returning for my own "wants" first than, presents for others (hahaheh

I called the company and the person on the phone told me that the issue can't be fixed because "the color is oil based and won't get off easily". So I decide to show up to this location anyway and Sadie removed the color easily and added the correct silver shade. I was so impressed and relieved as this is a bridal shower gift. She was so kind and fixed it in less than 10 minutes. Will order in person next time.

My sisters husband passed and we came here to have urns engraved, they were not very helpful or…read moreprofessional. First time we came in, they told us "sure we can engrave the urns!" Then we come a few days later to drop off the urns and they say "we can't engrave this brass urn because it will chip the paint..." okay fine so we get some plaques engraved to stick on the urn. They say "it should be ready tomorrow we will start on this right away!" ... two days pass then we don't hear from them... so I call to check on the order, the guy says "we haven't started the order I'm waiting for my manager so she can oversee because I have no idea what to do" and I'm like "can we please start this as soon as possible, the service is the day after tomorrow" and then they started as soon as I called, not before not after, despite saying they would take care of us as soon as possible. So they told us to come in 1-2 hours and the plaques would be ready. We came in 3 hrs later and they were rushing to finish. The plaques were stuck on kind of ugly, you can see the adhesive and it looks obvious and unprofessional. When I mentioned this the worker said "it's because we're rushing to stick these on". They even deviated from the original plan of plaque placement and had us purchase a stand to place one of the plaques on at the last minute. I wish that they would've taken time and care with my sister's husbands urns, but they didn't and she was too deep in grief to care. I would not recommend this place if you are grieving and need personal, special care.

It was still the best in its era back then, but it's still a reliable and good mall today. My latest visit was actually to Macy's, but decided to give the mall for a run. The major department stores are still there, with the Macy's, JcPenney, and Nordstrom. There's also some of the original shops like LUSH, Abercrombie (though they've moved around a few times), Bath and Body, Hot Topic, etc. There's some new jewelry places and some other trinket stores. I saw something like build your own slime for like 30 bucks...what is that?! But yeah, a lot more boutique and random shops here and there. Parking lot is still packed like always, so people still enjoy coming here.

Elevators are in place and working at west garage by Lifetime Gym--open and offers many amenities. Pools are really something to experience. Some newly opened restaurants are: Kalbi Social Club, North Italia, Pacific Catch (see specials menu). The Melt & Din Tai Fung are open. At our last visit, North Italia was at capacity. There is a waiting list for Din Tai Fung and reservations are recommended.
