About my bouquet, I chose flowers that reminded me of loved ones who passed away: sunflowers for dad, roses for my grandma and lilies for my Aunt Lily. Because my husband was allergic to lilies, she removed part of it so he wouldn't be a sneezing mess haha. As for the store, there were lots of good quality items from clothing to accessories. I can tell the store had a lot of history behind it as evidenced by pictures of her family along the walls. I was pleasantly surprised to know Brittani was a USC alumni like me. Go Trojans! Please come by this store and meet this lovely lady. You'll feel right at home!

October 2024 | Avalon | Catalina Island: Located right on the oceanfront! Super friendly customer…read moreservice, thanks again to the friendly woman at the cash register, Dina! Absolutely cute souvenir shop with cute coffee mugs, men and women's clothing & Catalina Island branded products & so much more, with a variety of price points! Cozy Fabric: In October, Catalina Island can get pretty chilly at night time! Before quickly walking over to the movie theater, I stopped at this cute store and picked up a fuzzy-wuzzy sweater jacket to keep warm & it totally worked! Even cooler, the sweater jacket is reversible, and it felt like a warm blanket wrapped around me! I was super happy & very warm!

Hidden gem! We stopped in as we did other shops along the water front. As I browsed, I was struck…read moreby the high percentage of embroidered items. Not your typical printed embossed stuff, mind you, but old-school embroidered. I found one design I particularly liked on a sweatshirt (not the season for one where I live, but it was perfect). I brought it to the register where I met Dina. When I mentioned how pleased I was about the quality of the embroidered work, she smiled and explained they were embroidered "in the back." I was impressed. We continued talking and I mentioned how much I loved the unique designs, nothing I'd seen anywhere. She smiled even more and admitted she'd designed them! I asked more about how (I do some graphic design work) and turns out she does them by hand. By hand! Not using modern technology, but true art. Please, if you visit Catalina Island, check out this shop. It's the middle storefront at the Hotel MacRae, the sign was missing on my visit. Buy one of Dina's embroidery designs. Buy several. Our visit to the island was amazing and we will be back. Each trip I intend to bring home a Dina original.

The place for Patagonia lovers…read more My boyfriend & I were planning a hike up to the Botanical gardens when I realized I had forgotten my one shoulder bag. This store is located right off the main strip & has a decent collection of clothing- anywhere from jackets to windbreakers to backpacking gear. I got a sandy honey brown jacket on sale for $80 (Original price around $140), and my boyfriend got an orange windbreaker on sale as well. We also picked up some travel books on sale to read while lounging around. I was happy that they had travel books since Catalina Island is sparse when it comes to bookstores or variety of reads. While some may be a bit old (think 2009), it is to be expected given the overall flow of traffic to the island. Be sure to peruse the sales section, esp. picking items that are off-season. The guy working there is nice & patient, as I was trying on different clothes & spent quite some time in the store. Definitely one of my more favorite stores on the island in comparison to the cheesy touristy shops that sell a bunch of trinkets & random stuff you probably wouldn't use or wear once off the island.

This place sells neat clothing, and it's nice to have a board shop on the island. My frustration…read morewith this business stems from the employees' laziness. I came in two days ago, asked about a board. They were out. I said I was interested in acquiring a board ASAP, they said come in later when their inventory arrives. I literally walked up to the people who deliver shipments to businesses after they're flown to the island. I asked if they were going to deliver to CSC that day. They said they were on the way after stopping at Vons. Couple hours later, I stop at the shop and the shipment is sitting right next to the employee at the register. They said come back later, they had to unpack all the stuff. I say okay, expecting to have the board later that day. Come in later that day. It's 4:50pm. There's a note on the door saying "on break, back at 5". I already knew the employee was lazy and wouldn't be back on time, so I come back at 5:15. I arrive seconds before them, while they're pulling the keys to the business out of their pocket. Boxes still sitting there. They say come back tomorrow. Okay... Next day, I come back several times desperate to buy a board, every single time the same boxes are sitting on the floor. Ended that day empty handed. It's currently 2:50pm the next day. I've dropped in twice already today. Same thing. They KNEW I was willing to drop $200 on board parts, why would you not just take out components to a board and sell them to me? I've given up. I just wanted to ride, dude. Come on... Any skateboarders know what it's like when you get that itch and just need to ride. Someone who runs a boardshop should definitely get it. Anyone with business sense would get it. This place kept playing with me, acting like they were actually going to do what a business does. I felt like I was in some sort of absurd time loop. I am severely disappointed. I may just buy someone's board off of them. I'm sure it's not a bad business but this was a horrible experience. I mean, lazy is one thing. Three days to open a few boxes and scan some barcodes though? That's a whole new level.
