I am not sure how I missed this jewel of a gift store on my many visits to Ventura and Main Street in particular. Where do I start. They have such interesting merchandise including an assortment of unique gift cards, maps, pictures, stylish hats, scarves, and rare books to name just a percentage of what they have to offer. The sales associate was very friendly and helpful. He even tried on a hat I wanted to buy my husband and was concerned about the size. He let me know they take returns within 30 days with the receipt and original tagging. Fortunately it fit! This amazing shop is on Main Street which is closed to through traffic. There is free publick parking just down the street at the Museam of Ventura County. It is also in a great location for other speacialty stores and eateries. read more

Copperfield's Gifts & Rarities - Gift Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

small businesses often thrive on personal and reasonable service to repeat clients and customers. my BF had bought me a lotion from there. it was not the scent i normally buy from there (and i'm very sensitive to scents). all i wanted to do was exchange an unopened untouched box/bottle of the lotion for a different smell. same price, same brand. wouldn't have cost them anything. however, we evidently came in three days past their exchange "window" and they were completely inflexible. I have a small business myself and to me it's more important to provide service to my clients that will support the ongoing relationship and reputation rather than holding rigidly to small print to "protect" a $20 transaction. This store does not hold the same business philosophy that i do. that said, Copperfield's has lost any future business or referrals from my family who have been repeat customers for years. read more

I didn't visit for anything in particular but was very impressed with the curated variety of merchandise. In terms of their stationery, which is what I'd be most interested in, they have a very small selection of Japanese stationery, Field Notes, and Rifle Paper, among other small journals and other items. I felt like it was the perfect store to come in and find a last minute (or not so last minute if you're good about that type of thing) gift. Customer service was friendly, and helpful. If I lived in the area I'd definitely be back. read more

I initially hesitated to enter the store because it was crowded and felt cramped. However, my friends wanted to go in, so I joined them. It's definitely a cool store with lots of interesting and fun items. I found a Christmas gift and a little caramel for myself. I probably would've spent more time and money if it hadn't been so crowded--it was a bit too uncomfortable for me. You'll find great gifts or perhaps something for yourself. 7/28/24 read more

Copperfield's Gifts & Rarities - Decadent - Gift Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

Popped in here with my best friend who is visiting from out of town and had the best experience with Angel, the sales associate. They were so incredibly kind and attentive without being overbearing. While this store is so fun and has a ton of great treasures, there truly wasn't anything we NEEDED but we still walked out with a selection of goods based on Angel's recommendations alone. One of the best shopping experiences I've had in a long while and it was all because of the energy. read more

Amazing puzzles and wrapping paper. My wife loves them!! I enjoy looking at all the new stuff

They have journals, really cool and unique wrapping paper, great pens come on everyone needs a cool pen to write with!Unique books, and calendars, and all kinds of things that you've never thought of to give to someone.. You oh it to yourself to go in here just to get something cool for yourself. If you need a unique card go here. If you want some thing that you can't find anywhere else, this is the place. I love going in here and I'm fascinated, just by all the unique things they have. read more

this place was really cool. They had teens working there who were super efficient for their age. A wide variety of knick knacks you could buy for presents and memento's. Lots to look at and play with. A couple of my friends bought a ton of gifts here for x-mas that were original and not gimmicks, good find! read more

Fun shop, one of a kind business, great to check out while strolling Main St. in downtown Ventura. The store is a tad cramped, full of interesting, one of a kind merchandise: stationary, cards, cool wrapping papers, chocolates, planners, lotions, a bit of everything. Bit on a higher side price wise, but they sell interesting products, fun to browse and great gift ideas when you're in doubt! read more

Excellent high quality gifts. Joshua was extremely kind and helpful. We will be back!!!

Came in search for gifts for my daughter who loves writing letters and loves to draw. The yelp looked like a place I can find some fun stuff. The store was a bit cluttered but still looked great. I found something for me but nothing else. The employees were too busy talking up a storm , laughing and joking but not helping or greeting anyone. You would see people walk in and out fast. When I went to purchase my item they were laughing and saying you do it. Till finally someone came up . read more

Great place to get a souvenir before returning to NorCal!!!!! Chill place with rare books and more! read more

The young man in there kept following us, we let it go but my final straw was when he kept staring at my husband when he was looking at the stuff in the men's section. We have been there before and did not have any issues. Love the stuff in the store but not sure if we'll be back. read more

Stopped in on Sunday and Rue was very helpful and helped me pick out some great stationary!

When i have to start my Xmas shopping I always start here because they have unique but reasonably priced gifts, Especially for men (which I find are rather hard to shop for.) It's the middle of summer now and I restocked on the temple-grade Japanese incense, candles and wacky candy bars. Milk chocolate with bacon & potato chips anyone? read more

Talk about a nifty store, so many fun things to see from cards & stationary, to wrapping paper, lotions and lip balms, gag gifts. & baby products. If any of you own a pug they have the cutest soap replications a pug , as well as a poodle, and a tabby cat. I got my cousin the cutest coin purse with a Hen & chicks on it, because she'd told me that she was going to raise chickens but now she says those words never came out her mouth. I might be getting older but I haven't lost my ability to hear... Yet! If you are looking for a unique gift shop in and take a look , the card selection alone is amazing! read more

If you are walking down Main Street in Ventura and want to step into a cool and different gift store, this is it. I LOVE this store. I love it's quirkiness, I love Alexa,the gal that always rings me up and love all their awesome and unique paper goods and gifts. I love snailmailing, so I'm always on the lookout for cute cards, stationary and ink for my fountain pens. I was just a bit sad they don't have seal wax :( Oh, they have cute washi tape as well. Although their selection may not be as diverse as that of some office stores, it's definitely different and cute. With that being said, be ready to pay a little more than if you went to your local target for special occasions cards or pressies. Another reason I come here, it's family owned and operated. I love contributing to small businesses. Don't you? read more

This was in my opinion one of the coolest stores on Main Street in Ventura! Like others said, the selection is hard to describe, the ray guns are very cool and look like out of a sci fi movie. Funky gifts from all over the world, carefully picked. Everything is a treasure in its own, we didn't purchase anything this time, since its so hard to decide what is the coolest and most unique thing there. Service was very nice, everything was displayed nicely, worth a stop if you are in the area! read more

Copperfield's is such a customer service oriented store! Their gift wrap is so beautiful and shipping is very fast! You are an example to other businesses. read more

Copperfield's Gifts & Rarities - Beautiful gift wrap! - Gift Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

Cannot believe this place doesn't have any reviews. They sell ray guns here, people. RAY GUNS! I hesitate to use the "h" word about the eclectic mix of products at this gifts/novelties/rare books/generally unusual stuff store. The selection does teeter a bit on the edge of hipster, it's true. But I appreciate the well curated selection of giftables--from Patch NYC candles, to interesting old hardcovers, cute kids stuff, funny cards, and, of course, RAY GUNS. Even if that does make me a hipster. Price wise, it's a bit on the expensive side. Selection wise, it's hard to define. If you, like me, like a store that constantly has new stuff to discover, this is is a good place to check out. I hope Ventura is kind to a store as uniquely whimsical as Copperfield's--we need more shops like it. read more

Highly recommended for unique cards, gift wrap. If you like interesting letterpress cards and single sheet, frame-worthy wrapping paper this place is for you. They also have lots of unique items that you're unlikely to find elsewhere nearby. Everything seems very lovingly selected. Many items are perfect for stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, thank you gifts, whatever gifts. Whenever I'm downtown I try to stop in to Copperfield's to see what's new and pick up a few cards. It's definitely one of my favorite stores in town. Staff is very friendly. Oh....and the ray guns are pretty cool! read more

OMG I loved this store with all my heart. I wanted everything in there! I wish I could seriously buy everything this precious store had to offer. I bought the cutest thankyou cards, some amazing hand lotions my husband bought a solid cologne that smells DELISH. I wish we had one here in San Diego read more

I hang out on Main Street in Ventura often, sometimes just to hang out and enjoy the cool breeze, sometimes to go thrift-shopping. I've passed by this store many times but never went in until today. I thought everything will be so ridiculously expensive based on the displays by the storefront, and guess what, I was right. BUT-the items inside are unique, special, and sometimes odd. There's a section of old books, some even inside bookcases. Some cookbooks, at $18 a pop, seem expensive but they are not the type you find at your everyday thrift shop or used bookstore. So if you have a burning desire to learn Swiss - not German, not Italian - come here and check it out. There are some books on American slavery. $150 up. What's up with that? Where did those come from? Odd, I must say. Another curious thing was a metal box used before for ammo, now used for "manly" soap. $50 for 5 - 10 0z. "big ass" men's soaps. Unique, but would you blow $50 for something you will not use, maybe just a showpiece? $10 a bar seems too high for soap, even exotic manly stuff like this. Similar to another place down the street for overpriced manly accoutrements...note that it does not rhyme with excre****, but such stuff are, to be polite, fluff, or to be impolite, scheisse. But I am not slamming this store. It is fun to look inside. Fun to get cards, bookends, memorabilia, etc. Looking for the unique, come here and have a gander. read more

This place was fun! My friend who lives in Ventura was showing us around the town in attempt to coax us to move there. Super cute! I found two great cards within 5 minutes, a beautiful ring I am still coveting, and didn't even have time to explore it all. I will be back :) read more

Copperfield's Gifts & Rarities - This is a great little shop to find amazing unique gifts. - Gift Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

What a gem in Ventura ! I'd be hard pressed to describe the exact theme of Copperfields ! I went looking for some gift items for some female friends and family and found a treasure trove of goodies at all prices. Although I spent about $200 I felt like I had gotten my monies worth of VERY unique items, from small paper music boxes from France and stationary from Italy, to coconut/curry chocolates and jasmine soy candles. This place would be at home in Santa Barbara or Montecito, so I'm very happy to have it in Ventura ! read more

If you are looking for greeting cards, this is the place. They carry fun, whimsical gifts with character and charm. Love it.

Copperfields is one of those stores that is difficult to categorize but as soon as you walk in, you begin to think of words like 'unusual,' 'rarities,' and 'collectibles.' For me, however, there's more to the store than just the 'cool' factor on the surface. Yes, they have the Ray guns that everyone talks about that they had in the window for months. One of the store's biggest strengths is the book selection. They have old and collectible books of all kinds. First editions, imports, hand bound, series. All the things that book lovers/collectors might be interested in. Many of them are expensive, but I never really found any that truly outside fair value. Then they have an awesome card selection unlike the usual stuff you can get nearly anywhere. Weird collectibles that truly are rare or one of a kind? Look here. It goes on and on. They may not be constantly getting new things, but for the most part things do change every time I visit. Believe it or not, I actually haven't bought anything here but I look forward to my next visit each time because I know one day I'll find something I love enough to buy. If you've never been here, give it a shot. read more

Copperfield's Gifts & Rarities - Even the signage is nicer.... - Gift Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

This place is awesome! If you are looking for a gift for someone, Copperfields is where to go. They have so many unique cards, books, art, toys, and gifts for people aged 1-99, priced under $20. The shop owners are super friendly. AND I heard that they support the effort to keep Main street unique, and from turning into a capitalistic mecca where only places like Urban outfitters can afford to rent there. This place, along with the nearby thrift shops and mom & pop restaurants, is the reason why my husband and I like Ventura. read more

This place is so cool. I had to catch a plane and had to get a souvenir for my daughter. I wish I could have browsed longer. I bought two awesome leather bound journals and the store keeper gift wrapped them better than anyplace I've ever seen. I hope to go back there soon . I hope they continue to succeed. read more

I love Copperfields!!! From the unique and quirky gift cards and wrapping paper to the handmade ceramic animal heads crafted by the owner, this is a wonderful place to find gifts or fun things for yourself. There is a corner in the back of the store devoted to used classic books that are great to browse through. There is a big selection of baby and children's toys and clothes that are perfect gifts. They carry unique pieces of vintage jewelry, handmade soaps, quirky collectables, and even Ray guns! There really is something for everyone here and you will have a lot of fun exploring. A must do store if you are in Ventura! read more
