"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too,…read morewas a gift."⁠--Mary Oliver I usually tend to avoid these types of places but I was at the beach and hatless, so I took a chance. Pros: -Pretty large selection of touristy stuff for such a small shop. -Prices were actually fairly reasonable, considering. -Cashier was friendly and actually checked ID on the CC for everyone―even with our 'Rona® masks! I was impressed with her x-ray vision. Cons: -They had a nice selection of fun socks, but at $15/ea they can suck it. Overall, not a bad place to shop if you need some gifty items to take back home. P.S. evidently this place is part of a local chain that has shops all along these small coastal cities in the area.

It opened a bit later than the other stores, so spent a bit of time waiting at the shop across the street. The stop ended up being successful, with my wife picking up a tea cloth with Morro Bay embroidered on it. I enjoyed looking at the various coast art, many of which showed the iconic Morro Bay with the Rock behind it.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to check it out. The worker (I'm going to assume was the owner) was super sweet and very helpful. She was hand making bags to put all your goodies in and they were so cute. I ended up getting a few things so I got some that I'm going to regift. They have trinkets and gifts for every kind of person. There's cards, jewelry, art, products from locals and there was even a kid section. I found several things for myself as well as presents for others. I actually had to stop myself from spending too much, I wanted it all. This is definitely a store to check out - I'm sure they have something for everyone!

It seemed like the vendors had autonomy to sell what they wanted. The single employee would call a vendor if there was a question from a prospective customer. Some displays were behind glass, but the majority were open, counting on the carefulness of customers. We stopped by to see if we could pick up a memento from Morro Bay, but no luck. My wife did end up buying a blouse from a brand that she liked, so the trip wasn't a total loss. I did enjoy slowly wandering down the cramped aisles...a lot of hobbyists displaying their passions: a lot of toys, comic books, and hardcover novels.
