Looking for a great spot to pick up a gift for anyone on your list, or pick up something fun for…read moreyourself? Strapping is the perfect spot! We stop into Strapping often and love seeing the changing stock of fun items. They stock seasonal items, along with a variety of cute, quirky, edgy, and fun items. Truly a little something for everyone. I personally love the home goods and have picked up a variety of items like candles, spoon rests, flower pots, and more. They have a lot of Sacramento items as well and even have items for different neighborhoods. Some of these are items from their team, and some are sourced from local vendors. There's a good mix of local business items, small business items, and popular items that make this a much different experience than other gift shops. Keep an eye on their social media for new item stocks, special events, and pop ups. You could stop by weekly and find new items to fall in love with.

If you're in the area, definitely pop in.... it's worth a look. The store was super clean with a welcoming vibe. The employee working was really nice and helpful without being pushy, which I always appreciate. I ended up leaving with a couple of cute little gifts for my mom and boyfriend, and the prices were totally reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back as the holidays get closer. I saw a bunch of things that would make great stocking stuffers or even some hilarious white elephant gifts. Love finding spots like this :)

Finally got around to checking out this absolutely adorable book shop near McKinley park. Took me…read morelong enough! It is only a couple of blocks from the park and is so perfect for book and book themed/related shopping. They have lots of different genres and the store is organized so you can easily find what you are looking for. They have tons of bookmarks, stickers, keychains, reading lights etc.. The shop is beautiful inside, there's a couch by the big windows where you could spend some time hanging out in the natural light, the staff were super nice and friendly, and the prices are affordable/standard but not overpriced. I love that this shop, like so many other local's businesses/bookstores, prioritizes not only supporting their community but being inclusive and welcoming to all during a time like now. Will definitely be back to browse more once I finish my current reading stack.
